"You don't look too good," Derek told Catherine right after he stepped out of the conference room which hosted the meeting that just ended. He intentionally rushed out to catch up with her cause it seemed she was leaving.Catherine looked up to notice it was him before saying, "I'm fine. Just a bit nauseated.""Let me help you with that," Derek said as he collected her bag from her. "You need to rest.""I will. Once I get home.""That's tonight, isn't it?""Of course."To put her to a halt, he suddenly grabbed her by the arm. He used that to turn her around so she could directly face him."I think it's time we talk about your work rate. Don't you think it's too much for your condition? By now you should be doing less but instead it looks like you're trying to do even more and I'm scared it's going to affect the baby."He watched as her expression remained bland despite his attempt to sound sweet. It didn't make him feel good because that wasn't the reaction he was expecting."I think

Tonight almost felt like a deja vu for Catherine. She expected to see her husband with some girl whom he keeps claiming to be his childhood friend. But what she found was her husband seated in the dining area, patiently.The scene looked random but at the same time was strange to her. She wasn't entirely sure what to say as she watched him just sit there with his phone in his hands as they were placed on the table.He looked to be lost in thoughts and she had to say something just to get him out of his reverie."Derek?""Oh you're home," he said as he adjusted himself properly to look at her. "I've been waiting for you. Here, sit.""Uhm, why?" she asked as she made her way to the chair he was pushing open for her."I made you dinner," he declared."But I'm not hungry.""Oh.""Is something troubling you? You don't seem like yourself tonight…" she had to point it out. Seeing him act that way wasn't a scene she was enjoying and had to say something."I'm completely normal, trust me," he

Derek knew that call was coming in soon which was why he wasn't all surprised when he saw his phone ringing to signify a call from Edna Langston.It was the weekend away from work and it meant he had time to himself so he decided to spend it at home with his wife.When the call came in, he was alone in the room and that gave him the opportunity to pick the call without having any problems of suspicion from his wife."Hello, Edna," he said into the phone right after picking up the call."Derek," the woman called his name from the other end. "I can't tell you how glad I am to hear your voice."His expression was a bit vague as he sat up from the bed. He wasn't all comfortable with lying down to communicate."It hasn't been too long since we last spoke," he reminded the woman who made it seem like it has been ages since their last communication."Doesn't seem like that to me," the woman said."Well, what's up? Are you out of town yet?""Seems you really want me out of here soon.""It's n

"You do realize it's my weekend you're consuming," Derek pointed out to Jasmine who was dragging him."I know," she said. "But there's no one else I could call."She came to his place that afternoon and told him that she had an event to attend but didn't have anyone to go with which was why she decided to come to his place.He had declined the offer at first but she kept insisting and even resorted to pulling him out of the house. If Catherine had been home, the sight wouldn't have been pretty.At one point, when they were about to get to his car, he pulled his arm out of her reach."I can't follow you," he told the lady who turned around to face him."But why?" she asked with a pout."I've got to go to work tomorrow, Jasmine. I can't afford a day out at this time when I should be resting.""And I'll be out of the city by tomorrow too. Let me have this, please."Her emphasis on the 'please' was a bit infuriating due to the way she made mention of it. It was as if she wanted to do anyt

The sudden sound of something slamming on to his desk knocked Derek out of his thoughts. It came as a shock, that for a few seconds, he couldn't get a hold of himself."What did you do that for?" he asked through gritted teeth. He was furious at the person that did that just to get his attention."I've been calling your name but you didn't hear me." He heard Gina's voice and that meant she was that person."Well, you should have called harder."He had to put both hands over his face just to take out the wobbly feeling that had overwhelmed him from the shock.He was still furious at that point. If it had been someone else other than Gina, he would have taken his frustration out on the person. He could only keep his rage to himself because of her."I'm sorry," Gina apologized. "I shouldn't have done what I did but I was getting scared when you didn't answer which was why I resorted to that."He looked up at her. "What happened to tapping me, Gina? Wouldn't that have been much better?""

"Who's that again?" Gina asked, trying to rack her brain for any information related to the name Derek just told her."The ex-wife of Richard Langston," Derek responded."Wait, isn't that the man that you thought was having an affair with your wife?""Yes.""Oh. So when did you get this close to his wife so much that she offered you her business to handle?"The way Gina said it made it seem like he was having an illicit affair with Edna and that didn't look good at all."Ex-wife, Gina. They are divorced now. And the way you say it, it sounds like I'm doing something wrong with her.""I never implied it that way. You're the one with the ideas here," she defended herself."Whatever," he said. "Edna and I kept in touch after we both realized that we were chasing the wrong thing. But it didn't change the fact that her husband was a chronic cheat.Anyways, their business was handed over to her by the court but she doesn't want to be around here anymore which is why she wants someone else t

Derek felt a little tired as he walked back into the Cora Limited after having lunch at the eatery down by the road. It was supposed to be his go-to place whenever work got overwhelming but today was just different.He just wanted to try something different other than skipping meals or simply just having something little in the company's eatery which only made light snacks.He knew that having a meal at his go-to eatery would affect his work rate but he was willing to risk it.A honk from a car caught his attention right after he passed by the parking lot. He was sure that it was for him which was why he turned around to find out which car had honked at him.It didn't take him too long to find the car as well as the person who operated it. And right out of that very car, Eugene Leviathan stepped out, looking all smiley like there was something good he wanted to talk about."Mr. McKay. Good to see you again," Eugene Leviathan said to Derek like it was the first time he was seeing him i

"I think it would have been better if you had called me before coming over to the company. What if I was away? It means you would have wasted a full trip down here," Derek said in a scolding manner to the woman sitting opposite him.Edna didn't care about what he was saying and she revealed that completely through her expression. It was as if she just wanted him to talk and then get through with it."At least I met you in, didn't I? I don't understand why you're making a big deal out of it," the woman said.Derek didn't respond to that, perhaps worried that he was going to speak out of line if he did."So, why did you reject my offer? You had a long time to decide and at the end of it, you said no. There has to be a reason. And it had better be a good one."He sat there quietly for some time before he finally decided on saying something."It doesn't feel right, Edna."The woman's gaze at him was a mixture of stern and confusion. "What doesn't? Owning a business or my offer?" she asked
