New beginning!
Taking part in a new company is so troublesome when you the one recruiting someone. "Sir, the new employees are ready for the discussion." Sarah, my assistant says as if her presence isn't enough to start my day bad. Talking about bad I'm quite excited to want to know about what she is doing right now?
I sit on the chair with tons of sheets and papers of this semester. My replacement was not found. Archer has been helping me since the day I arrived here. He took all the papers and kept on checking it few times. He takes break to get to his wife as she is six months pregnant. He grins wider and peers at me closely, trying to see through my mask "heard your husband is a CEO? How does he work? He must be committed to work doesn't he?" Think. Think. Shit. How can it be so tempting that he is the second thought of my mind? "Uh..well, he does seems like."
My mother has always been a calm and quiet person as for father too! My sister is the only one who goes on and on about her favourite band ever since I just laid my eyes on someone who looked more old than his age.
He grins and turns back to me "Mrs. Tedd we'll see you around at three o'clock then" Archer gets up from his seat with a bright smile on his face. I wave him off so that he can leave me alone for the god's sake. Today is a good day to have drink. I want to relieve this unwanting stress that has been building ever since I left the house in front of Julien looking up to my body. His friend was pretty pleased to meet me but his gaze was wrapped around my chest.
"Coming to a solution we might present the new employees the best deal shared by the NY office and Julien as we know we might be able to hold a grand gala this year. But chiefs are excluded they will take the social interaction ranking between….." I hold my finger in the air making him shut. The process of financing this year has been reduced with twenty percent. How shall they present that thought?
"Yes, Julien?" Chiefs are slow to process when they utter a slow word. "Twenty percent has been deducted from our side what deal you present here? Mr. Otto?" My grin has gone and I'm serious now.
"After your father's position? Yes, we had it all prepared. We will have you in the gala with the further discussion. You hold the future don't disobey the fact."
"That's some bullshit. My father isn't holding the jail anymore, I can fuck anybody I want. Otto, you need to look after your pretty little filthy wife. Work on her." Alarmed, I grab my coat and get up when Otto makes his comeback.
"Watch your tone, I know enough about your wife…." Otto dismays me as I give him a glare.
Oh. Shit. Meetings are such negative energies for me. It's already evening and I barely thought about Monica or even Catelina. She must be in the house. Rotting in her velvet night gown. Oh, I don't want to think about that yet.
I stared at my blank screen when all the colleagues were busy when I asked about hanging at the bar. Some had gone to trip, so others are busy making this year profitable. Oh, hell, the evening stars had shown up and in the taxi it's pretty perfect to sleep for the next ride. Rather to be honest or not I look total shit. My makeup faded during three hours lectures and lipstick smudged when I kissed Alex's cheek because we met after a long time. He still looked the same young English professor.
After total an hour drive from stores to home was enough to drain my energy. My eyes flicked to the rooms where the lights has been already turned on. I pay the money to the driver and quickened my almost breaking legs into the house. There is someone cooking beef and a little smell of whiskey swirls around the kitchen table. Inhaling I turn to look when Julien cuts the vegetables and leaves them to cook. His eyes meets mine. My tired eyes meets his.
Staring at my deviant wife, I watch the tired eyes rail over the table where we are going to have dinner. My eyes twitched to her smeared lips and her pale face. She worked hard. I know somehow it wants me to cook something hot for her. I turn off the stoves as the boiling sound stops. "Fresh up and have dinner." I chocked for a second. She nodded and stepped aside to lock herself in her room.
As she breathes and sits on sofa and her eyes sparks with hunger she takes a huge bite of the beef. Our dinner went in silence neither she discussed about her day nor me. Anf certainly, I don't want to discuss it with her. I know we should sleep in our own room but not tonight. I want to proceed by taking my time. She grew so much form the earlier week that I had the best sleep that night. My hands froze to keep myself from wrapping my wrist against her's.
Her night gown slipped as she almost tripped on her feet. My arms flew to grab her by the waist. Now I can see her teary eyes she has been hiding it from me and by teary eyes I mean she is in stress. She needs to outlet it otherwise she's gonna loose that shit. My arms wrapped around her velvet coat form the ground as I shoved it to her "sleep in my room for today." I can figure her eyes go zero when I say without looking into her eyes.
"Why?" Her voice cracks.
"So I can sleep better and listen to your cries." My hand was itching to be on her plump cheeks. But I hold myself still.
