“Are you being serious right now? You work here?” Samantha could not help but repeat her lines as she looked totally puzzled. Emily nodded her head gently as she continued to grin from ear to ear.“I was shocked to know that you work here too.” Emily added, and Samantha's face slowly transformed into a smile as she took a deep breath, before she talked.“Yes! I was just employed here recently.” She said, still not acknowledging the presence of her brother.“I can see someone decided to be the man in her marriage.” Michael said suddenly, and the conversation stalked as there was a total silence. Her face slowly transformed into a slight frown as she tilted her head to look at him.“You came for your wallet, right. Take it and leave here now.” She said as she stretched forth her hands with the wallet in it. Michael scoffed, smirking as he grabbed the wallet from her and looked inside. “I have to be sure that thieve you call a husband did not take anything from it.” He said as he slowly

“You have been off since the beginning of the day. What is going on with you?” Bryan asked slowly as he walked to where Samantha was seated, halting just before her desk. She tilted her head slowly to give him a stern look, not uttering a single word in response to what he had just said.“Samantha you don't have to give me that silent treatment. I am your boss and above all I still want you to be mine.” He said and this time, Samantha made a scrunching face as she tried to think of what next to say but chuckled softly, waving her head away for a moment.“What's funny?” He could not help but ask, exhaling heavily as he tilted his head to the side.“You are funny, Bryan. You are funny!” She repeated her lines as she tried to arrange her thoughts in her head.“How am I funny?” He asked as he leaned forward, bending over to rest his hands on the desk.“You keep trying to convince yourself that you still have a chance with me. You are being delusional.” Samantha stated with all seriousness

Samantha got home not long after she left the office. Her mind was still disturbed over the words of her boss as she could not get it off her mind. She reluctantly walked to the door and tried to open it but noticed that the door was still locked. Hence, she knew that her husband was not back home yet. She brought out her keys and slid them into the keyhole, turning them to unlock the door. Her heart kept racing faster as she constantly recalled her discussion with Bryan. “He would stop at nothing.” She thought as she walked into the room directly.She heaved a heavy sigh, as she sat on the edge of the bed, covering her face with both her palms. “Where is Eric?” She asked herself slowly as she brought out her phone from her bag to dial his contact, and then she met his missed call. “Oh, I did not hear my phone ring.” She said out loud as she dialed the contact again, waiting for him to pick up.“Hello dear.” She said as soon as the call connected, heaving a sigh as she leaned backward

“The morning came earlier than I thought,” Michael said as he walked into the living room, walking slowly towards Emily as she sat on the couch, scrolling through her phone. “Good morning Michael!” She greeted as she immediately tilted her head behind to look at him.“Good morning Emily. You are dressed already?” He asked as he sat down beside her on the couch.“Yeah. I woke early so I decided to use my time properly.” She said as she dropped her phone on the table in front of her.“That sounds kind of nice.” He said and Emily heaved a sigh, tilting her head slightly to see him, with a smile on her face.“You said the morning came earlier than you thought it would.” She asked, and he nodded his head rapidly, looking at the television for a moment before he talked.“Yes. I had a very short sleep.” He replied sharply, tilting his head away from the television to look at her.“What were you so busy doing?” She asked, checking her phone as she heard it chimed.“Nothing. I just could not

Bryan's phone suddenly began to ring, grabbing the attention of both men as they both tilted their heads in the direction of the phone. He quickly leaned forward to see who was calling and gasped when he saw that it was his elder brother, Peter.“Excuse me for a moment.” He whispered, and Michael only nodded his head slowly, heaving a sigh as he leaned backward, waiting for him to finish making his call.“Hello bro.” He said as soon as he picked up the call and placed the phone over his ears.“What's going on?” Peter asked, clearing his throat slightly and heaving a sigh.“Nothing much. I am in a meeting.” He replied, tilting his head to see the expression on Michael's face briefly.“Potential investors? You know we are in need of investors. We need to settle some debts.” He replied, and Bryan began to nod his head slowly.“I understand. I am still trying my best, but right now, this is not a business meeting. It's a personal one.” He said, taking a deep breath as he leaned backward a
