My Masked Wife Chapter 30
Derek wasn't sure how to feel about how it was all going. At least he was getting somewhere with the whole thing.He hadn't called Marcus in a while so he reached out to him via a call. They both agreed later in the day but first Derek had to have lunch with Gina."I'm glad you stuck to your words," Gina first said immediately they found themselves in the waffle house close by to the company.Derek smiled as they both settled down and got their orders.For a while they ate in silence. Eventually, Derek decided to ask something regarding the project because that was the discussion that he had been waiting to have since finding out his new position on the project."Why do you think Mr. Uriel is bent on getting you to be in contact with him?" he asks right after taking a sip of his bottle of water."I'm not sure," she said. "He just seems so interested in me.""Can I be blunt with you?"Gina nods in affirmation."Mr. Uriel doesn't want to talk business with you. He only wants to have som

Edna turned to look toward the counter where she heard the words that put her to a halt.Right behind the counter was a lady who she knew was the receptionist. She didn't even bother looking there before as her focus had been on catching up with her husband and his lover."Why?" she asked the receptionist, flashing her a fake smile."That section is for VIP members only. And you're not a VIP member.""Oh, I see," Edna stated. "Sorry about that. This is my first time here so I just thought I needed to go in there.""It's fine, ma'am.""So what do I need to do just to become a VIP?""Six months of routine and then we'll set up a plan for you that makes you an exclusive member.""Six months?" Edna's voice was a bit too loud. "Why does it have to be six months? Isn't there a plan that makes one an instant VIP?""I'm afraid, ma'am, there isn't. This is the only plan that we can cover for you. But we can always start with the regular plan for now."Edna wasn't liking the sound of that. It m

It was the supervisor's birthday and a party was being held to honor him.As much as Derek didn't like the whole party thing, he had no choice but to be at this one. His role as head of the Research and Development team gave him no choice.The supervisor rented a mini hall for this and ninety percent of those present were Derek's colleagues and workers of the Cora Limited.As they blasted continuous music, Derek simply stood at a corner with a cup of liquor in his hand.He had hardly even touched the liquor because all that was on his mind was nothing but the report he received from Edna about what she saw his wife and her manager do the day before.It was no lie that he had to work late into the night so he could finish up some things at the company. However, he found out before then that his wife had other plans according to Edna.He didn't want too many details from Edna which was why he didn't bother looking into it. But he already had a reason to believe that his wife's manager w

This time around, Edna Langston found her husband, Richard, and his lover getting into a hotel together. This was hours away from the city but different from the one she knew him to frequent.Deontay Hotel and Suites was in the outskirts of town but stood solely like a force in the not-so-developed area. Seemed like a good location for escapades.Edna wondered how frequently Richard used that location. Perhaps not as frequent as the Kingston's Hotel.Like the last time and the other times she had been following her husband, she rented a car. This one was far different from the last as she was trying to keep different profiles each time.Where she parked this time wasn't somewhere that could attract any attention. Instead it was in a general parking lot where she could easily sit inside her car and watch from afar.She got tired of waiting inside her car so she decided to get down from it thirty minutes later. From there she went to sit at a shed which was close to the entryway into th

It was rather strange to Derek as he felt an arm wrapped around him.The last thing he recalled was drifting off to sleep in the large sofa chair he had in his office so how on earth could there be someone beside him when he wasn't home?Not to cause a scene, he slowly got up from the chair, his hand gripping the arm around him as he lightly took it off.However, that light movement wasn't enough to make him quiet due to the congestion on the chair.Turning to face the supposed person beside him, he found himself all surprised to see who it was."What are you doing here, Catherine? How did you even get in here?" he asked his wife in a tone that showcased just how much surprised he was.Catherine sat up, her eyes drowsy from sleep. She looked like she had slept a long time."I came to be with you, obviously. You didn't tell me you were going to be sleeping at the office," she pointed out, a yawn escaping her lips."And that's why you had to come over to my place of work?""Yes. I misse

A knock on the door put the both of them to a halt. Derek looked at the door first before looking back at his wife who still longed for him.He wanted to ignore the knock but it came again and he called out, "Who's it?""Gina."A glance at his wife and he could see the discomfort that came with her hearing that name.He wasn't sure whether to tell Gina to come in or ask her to leave. It was going to be awkward if she came in and was face to face with his wife after that incident with Catherine slapping her.Catherine moved away from and began to adjust what she was wearing. He could tell that she was using that cue to leave his office already."Give me a minute," Derek said to Gina who was still standing outside the door and then started to get dressed completely as well. It felt like it was a little too early to have Gina in the office. But then he recalled that she was one of the early birds in the company.The time on the wall clock read seven thirty and he wondered how it was alr

"To us…" Richard Langston said as he raised his glass up for a toast.With a smile etched on Catherine's face, she said in return, "To us." Then they clinked their glasses together before drinking from each other's glass of wine.That was a sweet moment between them as they were celebrating their one-year anniversary. And to them, it was the best thing ever.But as they did their thing, there was someone watching them not too far away but right inside the restaurant they were having their anniversary date.It was Edna, Richard's legal wife, in a disguise that could as well prevent anyone from recognizing it was her except on a closer inspection.She followed the couple all the way to the restaurant, contempt brewing in her as she monitored their discreet activities. And yeah, she was able to get a decent picture of the two of them."I'm glad we're doing this," Richard told Catherine as he reached out for her hand on the table."Me too," Catherine muttered."It's crazy how it has been

Gina took a deep breath before knocking on the door that she believed led into the office of Mr. Benson Uriel of the New Age Holdings."Come in," the husky voice of the man behind the door ushered her in and she reluctantly pushed the door open to get into the man's office.The man was seated right behind his desk in the large office that could easily accomdate two smaller ones needed to get the job done for other workers.There was this mischievous smile mounted on Mr. Uriel's face that gave her the creeps as she approached his desk.The man stood up to acknowledge her immediately with an outstretched hand that Gina had a hard time taking. But she had to if she wanted things to go smoothly."Have a seat, please," he offered her."Thank you," she said.She put the documents she had with her on the table."These are the necessary things you requested for from my company. Everything needed to seal this deal is right there," she told the man who looked more interested in staring at her f

"What are you talking about?" Marcus asked, his expression a mixture of confusion and surprise."You know what I'm talking about. Stop acting like you don't," Derek said."Well, I don't. And I'll be leaving now before you consume me with your bullshit.""The past two weeks made me realize something, Marcus. And it's the fact that your enemies are actually the ones closer to you. You have been my enemy for but u didn't know all these while.""Did you drink something? Why are you speaking nonsense? And since when did I become your enemy?"Derek stood up, facing the man directly. "That's a good question… When?""Can you two sit your asses down and explain to me what is going on here?" Catherine said to them, almost screaming at them.Derek looked at the woman. "I haven't said you should talk," he told her."And since when did you get to give me how and when I should talk?""Since I found out that my allegation against you has always been true."Catherine wasn't getting a hang of what was

As Marcus was reluctantly finding a way to get in between the couple, Catherine, who still had a frown etched on her face, whispered to Derek."What is he doing here? I thought it's supposed to be just you and me," she said with a stern tone."I know I said that. But Marcus is just here to join us briefly. I can promise that his stay here won't be for long then we can have the time to ourselves," Derek told his wife.Catherine wasn't buying that. And she was this close to telling him to send Marcus away when the man eventually came back with an empty chair which he placed in the middle of the couple.Marcus took a seat but was still confused about what was going on because this wasn't what he had in mind when he got the invitation from Derek to show up at Kingston Hotel."What's going on here, Derek? Why is there a cake on your table? Is it someone's birthday?" Marcus directed the question to Derek while trying to make a guess.He couldn't deny that he noticed the hard stare Catherine

"I'm home," Derek announced as soon as he got into his apartment. "Where are you, Kathy?" he called out as he went to take a seat just so be could relax himself."I'm upstairs," was the response he got from his wife to which he nodded."Alright, I'm coming."Two minutes later, after getting a cup of water, he was on the way to their room upstairs with his briefcase in his hand. He was sure that the woman would be busy when he gets there and it was no surprise that she was on her laptop when he got there.She was sitting close to where the mirror in the room was and he watched her from where he was standing, seeing that she was typing into her laptop. There was also a document on her laptop which she kept glancing at occasionally.He dropped the briefcase on the bed and then took off his jacket which he also placed on the bed. Then he walked over to her, standing right behind her.In that position, he bent and put his hands around her waist. "What are you doing?" he asked as he whisper

"How did it go?" Derek asked the lady who seemed to be more interested in the ice cream she was consuming than him."How did what go?" Gina asked in return as she scooped a mouthful from the cone. As the cream melted down her mouth, she felt a sensation that made her giggle without a care in the world."Now that was weird," Derek stated but then got back to his question. "How did the meeting with Eugene go? Was he able to convince you this time around?"Gina wanted to take another scoop from the ice cream when she heard that question which then put her to a halt."Hmph, of course not. I already told you that I wouldn't be accepting his offer, didn't I? It seems like you forgot to relay my message to him," she said and then got back to her ice cream.At that point, Derek was getting annoyed with how immersed she was in it. He just had to hold in his annoyance lest he snaps at her."I did relay your message but it was too late for him to turn back," he told her."So you mean you just to

"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

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

"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

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?""

"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
