How is your wife?

"Venomic Vanessa" Tom shouted with his eyes wide open to express the energy that accompanies the name as they laughed

"Yeah, that's another challenge to tackle" Charles stated as he caressed his forehead expressing a difficulty to deal with

"No, it is not" Tom said as he stood up to move to his table

"What is it then?" Charles asked raising his eyebrows to know what Tom will say

"That's deep shit" Tom asserted as they laughed again

"Please have this file Billy dropped for you to work on" Charles said while laughing as he handed it over to him.

"I heard the Rosary Man was also arrested?" Tom inquired as he collected the file and picked up his brief case from Charles's table.

"Rosary Man? Who's that?" Charles questioned attentively

"Are you sure you reside in this town?" Tom asked as Charles leaned back on his seat

"Yes of course" Charles replied as he laughed

"No, I don't think so" Tom doubted as he dropped his brief case on his shelf and sat down.

"Stop it" Charles said and paused to think "Oh, you mean Douglas?" he asked smiling as he stared at Tom

"Yes" Tom answered as they laughed again "That's what baby Shirley calls him" he added amidst laughter

"Why" Charles investigated amidst laughter too

"I don't know, maybe because of his titanic Rosary" he answered as they laughed "He is quite close with the kids in Mamieu-Gold, so they named him that for his obvious Rosary and he gathers them to pray the Rosary with him during evening hours, Shirley goes too" he narrated as he flipped through the file Billy dropped for him.

"Really, that's nice. Douglas is indeed an honest man; I respect him so much" Charles adorned as he dragged his seat closer to the table to farce the day's work.

"Yeah, he is…" Tom confirmed as Carly interrupted immediately distracting them from what they are doing. The standing position she assumed at the door made Tom to question her immediately

"Why are you standing like that over there, this is an office please" he questioned as Carly laughed and walked into the office majestically.

"Relax, don't be so mean. Moreover, I can't take Dorcas's place" she said and smiled naughtily

"I'm sure you can't" Tom replied as he casts back his gaze on the file he is working on.

"Good morning Charles" she greeted looking at him intently

"Good morning Carly" he replied sparing no time for further conversations.

"Hey, Billy" She greeted as Billy walked into the office

"Hey, baby, how are you doing?" he replied as they hugged each other

"I'm fine dear" she responded as they loosed hold of each other

"How was your night?" Billy asked again with a bold smile

"Awesome," she replied with a soft voice

"I can see that. You look Gorgeous" Billy admired.

"Thank you" she replied softly feeling flattered "You don't look bad either" she also complimented as she touches his suit's buttons

"Really, Thanks" Billy appreciated gallantly

"I have to go dear. Take care" she added and left as Billy still looked back to watch her walk away. Tom and Charles noticed his lustful gaze at her but still minded their businesses.

"Good morning Charles" Billy greeted immediately he lost sight of Carly and turned

"Good morning, how are you doing" he replied as they shook hands together

"I'm good" Billy replied and walked to Tom's desk

"Hey, did you get the file?" he asked Tom as he stretched out his hands to shake him too but was halted.

"Calm down, why did you stop smiling when you turned to us?" Tom quarried looking keenly at Billy to see his reaction

"We are not Carly" Charles answered on his behalf smiling

"Oh that. Of course, I can't smile at you" Billy said with smile showing his right palm

"Why?" Tom asked curiously as he closed the file, holding onto the page he is working on

"Because I am not gay" he replied confidently

"Yeah, you are not gay but still remember you are married" Charles advised cautiously

"Exactly" Tom affirmed in agreement with Charles as he opened the file again to continue with his work

"Oh please" he replied reluctantly to Charles's advise as he caught sight of his file on Tom's hands "Good thing you have the file" he added immediately to put an end to their former topic of discussion "Hope everything in there is clear to you?" he requested happily

"Yes" Tom replied and continued going through the file not distracted by Billy's presence and questions "Good" he said as he clapped his hands once gladly "Any questions?" he asked again expecting a difficult question to answer

"How is your wife?" Tom asked sluggishly still focused on the file

"Skip, next question" he said frowning

"How is your wife?" Tom asked again stressing his words slowly as he mentioned them one after the other to Billy's hearing

"Fuck you" he replied and left angrily as Tom and Charles bursts into laughter.

Margie had slept on the sofa for almost an hour. She woke up when she noticed the door bell is ringing. Then, she sluggishly sat up and walked weakly to the door to open it. She opened the door to the least person she expected.

"Good morning, please how did you get in here?

She greeted and asked curiously

"Good morning, the gate is open" the delivery man replied

"Oh" she uttered as she makes her way to lock it

"I have locked it ma" he answered with smile to her surprise

"Really, thanks" she appreciated with fear and suspicion of what he wants.

Her facial expression suddenly changed as she touched the front and back pockets of her trouser and unfortunately could not feel her phone. She began feeling trapped as she is not with her phone with which she can reach out for help. Additionally, the strange man locked the gate by himself. Margie smartly fixed a confident eye contact with him and summoned courage to question him.

"How may I help you?" she asked curiously as the man suddenly realizes himself and presents the file he came with to her.

"Uhmm, I am from Sun Print insurance company. I came for your husband to fill and sign his health insurance document" he said as he opened the file for Margie to glance through it.

Margie takes her time to move close to him noticeably.

Firstly, she thought of when Charles ventured into health insurance without her consent. Secondly, why will the signature be appended at home and not called up to their office. Thirdly, all signing and enquiries should have been made on the first day he went to their company. Also, he didn't dress formerly. Lastly, he didn't show his identification card.

All these piled up in her mind in few seconds as she kept drawing closer to him.

She suddenly became conscious of his hands, pen and everything he has to ensure her defense mechanism before he makes a move.

As she kept drawing closer, almost taking a glance at the document.
