Pillow-Man

Ann closed her eyes and parted her lips.

Michael looked at her for two seconds. He could smell her intoxicating fragrance, which always drove him crazy. He was reminded of her soft lips which could melt him easily. He slowly lifted his mouth up to her forehead and gave a deep yet gentle kiss, then took a deep breath taking all of her sweet scent in.

Both of them were lost in the moment when they heard the closing of a door.

Ann pushed Michael away.

A:. Oh My God. Why did you do

that!

M: What! I cannot kiss my wife?

A: I'm NOT YOUR WIFE!.

M: You called me your "Darling

Husband" didn't you?

A: I was just playing along!

M: I also did the same.

A: By KISSING me on the

FOREHEAD???

M: Next time I will kiss your lips..

A pillow came flying in the air, straight towards Michael and hit his face hard, without giving him anytime to dive.

Michael stood there surprised, still holding the pillow on his face with both hands. Ann was also surprised by her action. She saw a Pillow-man standing in front with a pillow head. She couldn't control herself and burst out laughing.

Michael was still holding the pillow cursing himself for losing his control and kissing her when he heard a burst of deep loud hearty laughter. He slowly lifted the pillow and peeked at Ann. They both looked at one another and started laughing.

"Thud.. Thud.. Thud". Both of them turned their heads towards the door.

Michael went and opened it. It was Edward Morgan, Michael's secretary.

"Good morning Mr.Smith". He handed over some files and Michael's laptop. "Do you need anything else, Mr.Smith ?"

"No. What about Oswald? Did you track him down?"

"Yes Mr. Smith. Everything is ready. Just need your approval."

"Ok, go ahead. I have given him a day's time. I don't think he will be needing a full day. If my calculations are correct, he will be calling me soon". Michael said with an evil grin.

"If there is nothing else,I will take my leave". Edward bowed to Ann and Michael and left.

Michael took all the files and placed it on the table. He opened his laptop and started to work.

"What are you planning to do with Oswald? Will you shutdown his company?" Her curiosity was killing her after she heard the conversation between him and his secretary.

"I am not that cruel, sweetheart. Moreover he has a family. We cannot punish them for what he did, right? I have planned something else". A venomous sneer appeared on his face. "It seems that a**hole had abandoned his wife and child without giving them a penny. He is now living with a whore. Moreover he has many illegal businesses and his hands are dirty."

"I have purchased most of his company's shares, which turns me into the highest share holder of his company. He will be forced to transfer his shares to his wife and child to ensure I don't turn him over to the cops. All his illegal dealings would earn him a lifetime imprisonment at the least.The choice is his. Both options will yield him a bad result - either he goes to prison or will end up losing all his wealth. Anyway, he will not dare to touch any woman, starting today." Michael proudly said, appreciating his own plan. "Now I just have to wait for his call".
