Leaked

****

 It has been three hours ever since I entered Aziel's office. I am currently on the comfy sofa with my eyes closed shut.

 His office is twice as big as mine. It has a mini fridge, a complete bathroom, a cupboard for his clothes, a quality bureau and a higher-quality swivel chair. The view from the french window looks spectacular. I take off my annoying heels.

  I lazily strolled to watch the hooting cars and the busy people. Yelling cab drivers and whistles from officers. It is pretty loud out there.

   I feel like God keeping his eyes on his people. Lost in thoughts my hand caressed my belly.

  ' Hang in there sweetie. Mommy will make this nasty world heaven awaiting your arrival. ' 

' Beep Beep '

  My phone rings from the sofa. In less than a second, I carelessly ran to get it.

  Soon after answering the phone, I realized the stunt I played was a little risky.

  For the baby of course. It is my first and also not at a good age too.

  29

  " Where the heck are you dangsin? " Aunt Lucy shouts from the other side 

  Instantly I pull the phone away from my ears.

 " Sorry aunt, change of plans please let's reschedule for tomorrow. "

  " What? " she yells again.

Thankfully, the phone is away from my ear or else I might have become deaf.

  " I am so sorry aunt, I am very busy, something unexpected came up. "I lied blatantly.

 I hear her curse in Mandarin " Do you know how difficult it was to set a schedule with Mr Li? "

  " No " I replied with feigned innocence.

  Why does 

  I hear her breathe in and out murmuring to herself. " Well, it is. He is a very famous gynaecologist and we can only get him today. If not today we'll have to wait for three months. "

  " To tell you the truth auntie, I prefer to wait. A good friend of mine is a gynaecologist so… "

 She interrupts " Shut up brat. Pick up your bag and leave Aziel's office at this very moment. "

Finally, her devilishly mask has fallen. I covered the mic of my phone and laugh for some time.

  Using my little acting skills. I say in a sad and hurt tone. " Auntie Lucy, I do not remember saying I was at your nephew's place. Did I? Then how did you know… "

  ' Ding ding ' was the next sound I heard from the other side of auntie Lucy giving up and hanging up.

 I am so happy, that I shut her up.

  Truthfully, I prefer honestly brutal people with their feelings towards me than pretenders like Aunt Lucy.

  I jump, dance and squeal in happiness.

  Unfortunately, Jack walks on me dancing and sounding like my favourite cartoon monkey back when I was a kid.

  Why am I like this?

  It's the second time I embarrassed myself in his presence.

  The president's so-called wife, dancing, shaking an invisible tail.

He must think I am so childish for someone turning thirty in weeks.

  I see his lips twitch as he struggles to laugh. 

  Soon he burst into laughter hitting the couch. I am stunned, I watch him hold his stomach and wipe his eyes from too much laughter.

  This is going on for too long.

  I crossed my arms and clear the suffocating air in my throat.

  Instantly, he bows regretfully.

" I am so sorry ma'am. I should have knocked. "

  ' And you should have closed the door . ' an inner voice scolds me.

  Shut the f up.

  " It's fine Jack."

  Jack's eyes scan the room from one shoe to another then my bare feet. I can see the amazement in his eyes.

  He must think I am weird and ridiculous.

  Don't blame me.

  Heels hate my feet.

  However, this time he comports himself and says "Mrs Lin, Are you sure you don't mind waiting for the president? I could tell him and the meeting may be shortened.

 My hands tie my loose hair into a tight ponytail. " No thanks. I will wait. "

  " Sure . " he inquired in doubt

 I awkwardly clasped my hands together " Yes."

  He leaves, and finally, I can breathe in peace. I scroll through my phone when I hear Knock on the door.

  " Come in. "

  Jack peeks through the half-open door. " Are you hungry? "

  Gosh, I totally forgot to eat. Sorry Baby.

   " Yes, I will order in. " I replied shortly with a fake smile. I walk to the fixed phone and order some food

  He nodded casually" Sure, I will bring the meal to you. "

 " Thanks for everything"I assert sincerely before his departing.

 His gaze averted to my bare feet as I stand my on my toes,he chuckles " My pleasure. "

  I breathe out a sigh of relief.

Left alone to explore. I dance to his swivel chair, having a tour as I take a ride.

  My gaze fell on the stack of documents on the table then to the trashcan at the side.

  It had a folded document halfway burnt.

 ' Check it out, will you? 

 '

  Driven by curiosity, I  reach out to the wrinkled sheets of paper.

  Slowly I unwrapped it, it was the  divorcesgreementt, he offered a month ago today. I feel so happy to see it in the trash of his office.

  I hear a knock on the door and frantically jumped from the table to the couch.

  " Come in. " Said I in the nicest way possible.

  I arranged my hair neatly but my hopes...

  You will understand soon.

 Jack comes in...

 Jack! Yes Jack 

Jack strolled in with food .

 After setting the food on the table.

  I see a smile on his lips 

 Laughing I asked " What is it? "

  " Are these actually your favourite dishes. "

"

  " Yes,Why? "

  " I am asking because is it also what the president orders frequently. "

  I am sure my mouth is hanging in shock.

  When did Aziel become a fan of Indian and Chinese food? He always said they were too greasy to be called healthy.

  " I think sir eats this because it your favourite. "

  I stared at him for a while then began devouring my food without any manners. Like the main course before dessert,napkin, pinky and the rest.

  In Short, Jack is astounded he is gazing with a hanging mouth at the moment and dilated pupils.

  I seem to have a great appétite after seeing those papers and hearing Jack's words. I munch care freely.

  " Has Aziel eaten yet? "

" No, the president had no time to eat. "

  The mossel biryani left in my mouth turn sour. I painfully swallowed it and washed my hands.

  Why should Aziel be so careless with his health? Is work more important.

  " Ma'am, you should eat more" said Jack anxiously.

  He probably thinks he is to blame for me not eating.

  " I am fine. "  I smile reassuringly.

  " Please ma'am, I don't want to lose my Job. "Pleaded Jack with folded hands.

  I chuckle at his confession. " Trust me, You will not get fired. "

  " Nonetheless, ma'am have more." he places the royal icing cake at my reach.

How can I eat when he has not eaten.?I really don't have the appetite anymore.

  " I will when he gets back. " I stubbornly interjected.

 He gives me a pitying glance " Sorry to say ma'am but the meeting will hold for much longer. "

  Adjusting my seating position, I asked " Why? "

  Jack hesitates.

 It must be a company thing, after, all I am still a branch competition. So, he could not say anything for a while.

  He pursed his lips " It somehow concerns you. "

  " How? "

 " Ma'am, truth be told the latest car model got leaked to the opposition. The rival company launched it three days ago and Boss Tae sung… "

  " Is uncle Tim here? " 

  I am shocked, uncle Tim is a nickname for Tae Sung, he was my favourite uncle-in-law, and he is always inviting for gatherings at his home back in Korea.

  Jack nods. " He is very aggressive lately. The stolen project made about a billion yuan for our rival company. "

  I reached for the glass on the table, and take a long sip of the mango juice.

  " Which is this company? " I asked.

  " Green Dm. "

  The juice leaked from my mouth to my jumpsuit. 

  Greene DM is Andrew's company, it was launched two years back. Now I get why the meeting. It's

  It so damn complicated. Gosh 

 Jack gives me a tissue to wipe the juice from my dress.

  What if it is the same model I saw with my nephew back at my parent's house.?

 If so, how would it end up with Andrew?.

  I know he hates my husband but I really don't think he will go against his morals for millions.

 ' Billions' a negative voice echoed from within.

  He just can't stoop to such a level.

  I know my friend.

  " Can I see the model? "

  " Is no use now. Due to our friendship with this rival company in the past, Boss Tae Sung says we can't go to court no matter what. It will have settled once the President returns from Tokyo. " he says as he hands over a tablet containing the stolen car design.

My guess was right, it is the model I saw with the kid.

  I licked my lips. " So, they think I gave it to the Green FM group since Andrew is my close friend. "

  Jack hums,he later takes away the tablet before leaving.

  Everything is so complicated, now everyone will think I gave the design to Andrew to not raise suspicion. 

  God! What must Aziel and uncle Tim be thinking about me? 

  Instantly, a surge of vomit erupted. I ran to the bathroom and cleared out my stomach.
