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

Harry narrowed his eyes. “You’re doing this because I helped Nadine, are you?”Margot placed her hands on her husband’s face. “Unfortunately, no. I know you just want to help your secretary so I can’t stop you from doing something good for the needy,” she replied. “But this matter about money, you started it.”“We’re married,” Harry said, slowly getting back to his senses. “Does it matter if I use your money when it’s for us?”“Exactly,” Margot agreed, pulling her hands away. “Does it really matter if I emptied your account to pay for this dinner you wanted our family to have?”Harry couldn’t say anything against Margot. He knew it shouldn’t matter but he never expected her to use his money to pay. “What happened? You used to pay for it yourself. Why did you suddenly use mine?”Margot let out a sarcastic laugh. “Why, you ask? Three years, honey. I paid for everything for three years. Isn’t it time for you to do it?”“You have more money, Margot. I mean, you always say you’ll take care
The Good Wife's Enemy 1: Bolt From The Blue
“Mrs. Walton…”Margot Walton lifted her gaze to face the doctor with anticipation in her hazel eyes. She held her breath and waited for the next thing he’d say.“I’m sorry. You have cancer. I’m afraid you only have six months left to live.”The doctor’s voice rang through Margot’s head like an annoying bell that wouldn’t stop. Her breath hitched for a second before her heartbeat became erratic.Margot’s body turned cold and her vision became blurry as she had a quick recollection of her past flashing through her mind. The warm droplets of tears fell on her hands clenched on her lap. It was the last thing she expected after returning to the hospital for her lab test results.“Hold on. Are you saying I’m not pregnant and I only have a few months to live? Are you sure?” The shock was written all over her face. She didn’t expect to die so soon. All along, she thought she was pregnant and the reason why she willingly did the test was to make sure it wasn’t just a false alarm like what happe
