Chapter One hundred and thirty-three

Stella had actually snuck into his bedroom the previous night, hoping he might consider her as Bella and hold her close. She wanted to feel his warmth and touch, but then, he had not even as much as rolled to her side. Instead, he could drifting and mumbling in his sleep somethings she could not even hear. She had strained her ears to see if she would hear a thing but could not. She must have been there, drowning in her anger and must have slept off. She had woken up this morning however and discovered that she was alone in the room. Where was Jay when you needed him, she thought as she threw on her robe and stepped outside the bedroom door. Just as she was moving towards the stairs in her flip-flops, she caught sight of him returning to the house and upstairs with his full sporting gear. Someone else was with him though, it was that damned driver she had fired whom had been pestering the house. He had been lucky she had decided to let him live and now, he had to show himself to Jay. She quickly hid by the wall they entered inside the study, Jay first and then the old man. Jay had shut the door as the man entered the room. 

Damn that man, Stella thought. He had to shut the door. She tried her best to no avail to listen and had not really expected that she would hear a thing. She was very much aware of the fact that he had soundproofed the entire study as most times, when they used to be married, he used to hold closed door and secret meetings with his people. She decided to wait for him to open the door and stood around. She waited for about thirty minutes and then the door suddenly gave way. Too late, she could not hide and tried to maintain her cool. The old man was smiling greatly which disgusted her. He gave her a quick bow and asked her not to worry about his salary anymore as the boss had paid him. He however felt rather sad that he still could not recognize him. Stella eyed him dangerously and he gave another bow and scampered away. She continued to stare after him as she thought up evil things that could befall him as the price for making a fool of her. 

Stella suddenly turned and faced Jay, the bastard was eyeing her suspiciously. He must be thinking something else, so she walked inside the study. 

"I did not ask you to come inside ",he said to her. 

Stella ignored him and began her yapping. She had demanded an explanation on why he had to go pay that man without seeking her consent after all, she had been the one whom had fired him for crying out loud. 

Jay had frowned at all she had been saying, was she seriously kidding him, he was barely managing her deceit and here she was trying to guilt trip him. He needed to get a desired reaction to see whether or not he can cool off. Thus, he thundered at her on why she was trying to daint his reputation. How could it be said in the hearing of the populace that he could not pay his workers. He demanded to know if she was actually reasoning with his head or if he simply should take her to a mental asylum. She could not say anything in her defense anymore as she stood there frightened. He had already pocketed his phone, so he excused himself to go get ready for work. 

At the door, he turned to warn her sternly, "For the love of God wife, do not ever try in your life to fire my staff", he said to her.
