The Good Wife's Enemy 32: ‘Honeymoon’ Gone Wrong
For Margot, everything was perfect. She enjoyed seeing how Harry and Nadine acted awkward toward each other with her around. She even offered Nadine to swap seats in the plane since she took a premium first-class, while the two reserved their seats in business class. When Nadine declined Margot’s offer, the latter asked her husband to join her in the first-class suite instead.As much as Harry couldn’t freely say ‘no’ to his wife, he had no choice but to leave his secretary and stay with Margot in her suite.“Isn’t this nice? I don’t have to worry now that we’re in the same suite,” Margot smiled at her husband. “Besides, your secretary must be enjoying now that she could finally take a break without you for a short while.”Harry frowned, his gaze locked on his wife’s amused face. “This is a business trip, not a vacation. Didn’t I tell you not to bother me?”“Am I bothering you? If that’s how you feel, why don’t we ask Nadine to keep me company here then you can go back to the business

“Excuse me,” the hotel manager came to greet Margot. “Welcome to Lutos Hotel. I will lead the way to your suite,” she said, gesturing to the guys behind her to take care of Margot’s luggage.Margot smiled, turning her back to Harry and Nadine. “Please. I’m quite tired after the long flight,” she mumbled, her voice soft.The manager nodded and led Margot to the elevator. Meanwhile, Harry couldn’t believe Margot left just like that. He hurried to catch up with her but the elevator door closed before he could join her inside.“Harry! What are we gonna do now?” Nadine asked, raising her voice slightly. She was looking forward to their business trip, knowing they’d be alone, but Margot just had to ruin it.Harry groaned and went back to the reception desk where Nadine left their luggage. “What else? I’m going to stay in my room. You should rest too. I have an important meeting tomorrow,” he mumbled and walked into the elevator.Nadine followed him with a grumpy face. “You should have not a
The Good Wife's Enemy 34: ‘Third Wheel’
“Damn it!” Harry cursed under his breath. He pulled away from Nadine to face his wife who looked at them, dumbfounded. “This isn’t what you think, hon.”Margot raised her left eyebrow. Her mouth slightly opened but no words came out of it. She had a lot of things to say but contemplated.“I was… I was just helping Nadine. We’re not doing anything. You see, we’re just in an awkward position but—” Harry stopped talking when he saw his wife smiling. “Margot…”“What are you talking about?” Margot stepped inside the elevator with a confused look on her face. “Did something happen to your secretary? I don’t think your room is on this floor,” she said, looking clueless as much as possible.Harry loosened his tie to breathe. “Nadine fell so I had to catch her. That’s why you caught us in that awkward position,” he said, giving his secretary a meaningful look.Nadine nodded and cleared her throat. “That’s right,” she stuttered. “I fell,” her voice cracked for a second. “Thank you for helping m
The Good Wife's Enemy 35: Falling Into Place
Margot stared at the man in front of her. She couldn’t believe he would accept her invitation. Her lips curled up as she started a conversation.“I’m honored to finally meet you in person,” Margot said, her voice filled with sincerity.The man laughed. “I should be saying that. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” he said, raising his glass of wine.Margot did the same and took a sip of her red wine.Ever since she started working in the company, she had been secretly working on a project the chairman gave her. It was the condition to prove her abilities in handling the business. For Margot to gain her father’s trust, she had to make the project successful while also working as the product manager of the company. It wasn’t easy, but she was the type to never back down until she gained the result she wanted.Bruce Gardner, a renowned chef who refused to work with other companies nor opened a restaurant himself, was Margot’s solution to success. She wouldn’t be coming to the other side of the
The Good Wife's Enemy 36: One Step Closer
Margot took a deep breath after waking up the next morning. She finished a bottle of wine and managed to sleep in bed after getting drunk. She couldn’t help celebrating the small win she had.Dragging her body out of the bed, Margot took a shower. She spent a good ten minutes washing off the stench of alcohol from her body. She blew her hair dry, dressed up, and went to check on her husband. She wondered if he was able to manage his work and his secret affair.“Margot? What are you doing here?” Harry yawned after opening the door when Margot didn’t stop knocking. “I told you, don’t disturb me. I came here to work, not to go sightseeing with you,” he added.“Coming from you? Look at yourself. It’s already past 9 in the morning and you just woke up,” Margot sneered, shaking her head in disappointment.Harry’s eyes almost jumped out of their sockets when he checked the time. “Damn it! Why didn’t that woman wake me?” He rushed inside and desperately put on his clothes.Margot followed ins
The Good Wife's Enemy 37: ‘Housemate’
Harry was pacing back and forth, holding his phone while calling Margot. It had been two days since he came back from a business trip and Margot still hadn’t returned. He never felt so uneasy before without seeing his wife.“I can’t believe she’s not picking up,” he groaned, tossing his phone on the coach. “How dare she maxed my card. I was saving it for the future! She shouldn’t be using my money,” Harry said, grabbing his hair in frustration.He was wondering why there was a problem with his card so he called the bank as soon as he returned. To Harry’s surprise, he was told that he had zero balance in his account. He didn’t know how it happened but aside from him, only Margot had access to his account.Harry didn’t expect Margot to go against him or do something without telling him first. He was confident she wouldn’t do anything that he wouldn’t like. Little did he know, she already spent all the money he painstakingly saved for years.“Is this some kind of revenge? Did she find ou
The Good Wife's Enemy 38: Family Dinner
Margot was taken aback at her husband’s nonsense. She knew something was going on the moment she saw his mistress on her doorstep.“I know someone from my team whose house was on fire just yesterday. She also has nowhere to go. Should I call her to come over and stay with us as well?” Margot said in a deep and low voice, staring at her husband, coldly.“What? Why won’t you let someone else live with us? I don’t even know that colleague of yours,” Harry retorted, almost immediately.“Exactly.” Margot raised her left eyebrow. “I don’t even know your secretary. She’s not even a relative of yours. So, why should I let her stay with us?” Margot walked past him and headed to her car.Harry followed behind while trying to convince her. “This is only temporary. She’ll be gone by next week,” he said, blocking Margot’s way. “Please. Just let her stay for a few days. She’ll leave before you know it.”Margot shook her head. “No,” she replied. “First of all, we’re married, Harry. How can you bring
The Good Wife's Enemy 39: ‘Stealing’
Everyone gasped and turned their heads to Nadine who couldn’t bring herself to step forward. None of the people at the table were pleased by what they heard. To think they were gathered to continue the celebration for Harry and Margot’s third wedding anniversary that ended in disaster last time, seeing an outsider join them was distasteful.“What are you saying, Margot? Did you just allow your husband to bring another woman into your house?” Ryan asked his daughter, eyeing his son-in-law who flinched to his every word.“What can I do? Harry insisted,” Margot shrugged. “He said it will only be temporary,” she added, putting Harry in the hot seat.Emma put down her glass and snickered. “Harry, what do you think you’re doing? You can’t bring another woman into your house!” she exclaimed, smacking her hands on the table.Margot rubbed her mother-in-law’s back. “It’s okay, Emma. You don’t have to worry about it. Miss Smith is also working with Harry so I think it’s fine,” she said, smiling
