My Masked Wife Chapter 91
The one thing Derek hated about Eugene Leviathan was the smug look which he always had on his face. He had one now and it definitely was triggering for him."Sorry I'm late. I should have been here an hour ago but the traffic held me down," Eugene Leviathan said to the manager and the others that weren't Derek in the room.At first Derek had thought that the man was in the company on short notice. But now that he looked at it, the company actually invited the man over.He couldn't properly establish what the man was there for. However, he sure knew that it had to do with the deal that Derek was trying so hard to put off."I don't expect you to admit to taking advantage of Cora Limited. I mean, aren't you the son of the owner again?" Derek asked that so casually before moving to step out of the room for them.It was clear that he wasn't there. And he didn't want it to seem like he was the one delaying their meeting. So he was taking the initiative to leave."Me being the son of the own

Derek felt defeated. And he sure was letting that defeat get to him as he drove back home about an hour after meeting with the management.The only thing on his mind now was to find a way to get into his apartment and then sleep off everything that happened that day. He didn't care about missing tomorrow's work. He just wanted to get his mind off everything.It was draining and tiring for him that his work was looking futile. The management didn't want to listen to him even with the evidence he presented to them.Perhaps they thought he was doing it for his own good when he was just trying to protect the interest of the company."They just don't understand," he said to himself as the thought flowed through his head. What was too hard for them to see, he wondered.This was something they could easily delve into themselves to see that the Jackson and Sons was bad business. It wasn't going to help them like they thought it would.An incoming call from Gina was enough to distract him from

It didn't look like a good thing he was doing. The idea of stalking his wife wasn't a quest he saw himself doing. But he was curious and desperate at the same time.He wanted to see for himself what it was that was keeping her out there. He wanted to know just why she never had her mind in their marriage. That one thing that kept her away from actually being his wife.It was too late for her to be heading out, he knew. The timing and every other thing was just not right. And he wanted to see for himself what it was that she was looking for.Although he could still see her far from the distance he was, he decided to put a call through to her. She picked up after the second ring."Where are you? I'm almost home now," he told her immediately."Uhm, I'm not home. But I will be soon," she said."Are you still at work? Perhaps you would like me to come pick you up.""Don't worry. I'm with my car.""Alright then."He hung up the call right after that. At least she did not lie about being at

"That's…" he started to say but was too stunned to complete his words."What?""That's Eugene Leviathan. That district manager I told you about. He's the one on a date with my wife!"His hand balled into a fist, rage consuming him. He wasn't just mad at this point about events not going right with him. He was mad how people kept being the reason for his messy situations."Derek, calm down," Gina said from across the table. She could see how he was boiling and knew that he needed to relax."Why should I be calm when my wife is there on a date with the same man instigating something that I've been trying so hard to fight against for the past few days?""I know you can't handle your emotions right now but don't go and make a mistake. We're in a public location and it could lead to a series of events that you won't be able to control.""Maybe if I did care about what would happen next, I wouldn't be reacting this way," And he was up on his feet immediately after he said that.He didn't th

"How did it go?" Gina asked that question immediately she saw Derek stepping out of the restaurant. All along, she had been beside his car waiting for him."Not good," he told her. "Although they kept denying that they were there on a date.""What was their claim then?""Something like a business discussion. My wife works at the Jackson and Sons so she's about to be promoted. And what comes with that package is the overseeing of the deal they just agreed on with our company."Gina didn't look pleased. "That sounds as awful as knowing your wife is on a date with another man. She's literally going to be the head of something you are completely against," she said icily with an edge to her tone."Unfortunately that's what it's going to look like. I don't even know what to say or how to feel at this point," Derek lamented."Didn't you tell her to back out of it?""How am I supposed to convince her to back out of an opportunity as big as this? It's the first ever for her and she made it cle

"No, it's not about you, Kathy," Derek said, the stress he was feeling getting evident in his tone. "I don't know how to explain it so you'll believe me but I know your consortium hasn't been all righteous over the years.There is evidence that points toward that and I'm only trying to make sure Cora Limited doesn't fall victim to the scandal that has been happening with your company.""And where's your evidence?" Catherine wanted to know."It's with the management. I left it with them.""Or you're just lying about the evidence…""I'm not. You heard Eugene Leviathan talk about it, didn't you? He saw it too and knows that I have something that can be used against the Jackson and Sons," he said, trying his best to convince her that he wasn't lying about anything.All what he was saying wasn't enough to make Catherine convinced at all. Her expression kept showing that he was not being outright with her and there was nothing he could do just to change her mind."You don't need this, Derek

Thay question Derek threw at Catherine wss what he knew he could use to have an upper say at that pointHe was already short of ideas and was also looking for a way to redeem himself. That was his best call and he was going to make good use of it."There as his plaything? Are you even listening to yourself, Derek? Why would I be the plaything to someone like Richard Langston who doesn't know how it is to take care of a woman?" Catherine fired back at him."And how do you know he doesn't know how to take care of a woman?" Derek narrowed his eyes as he asked her that. His expression harbored confusion and he wanted to exude that as much as possible."Because Richard Langston was never faithful in his marriage. I'm not surprised his wife divorced him…" Catherine said and then looked like she recalled something which she then let out. "And how do you know about his divorce? Are you his confidant or something?""Don't divert the discussion here, Catherine. You still haven't answered my que

Calling a meeting with the heads of each department alongside the management wasn't the way to start the day. However, that was what Derek was facing.The manager had requested all of their presence in the conference room, stating they needed to be there to rub minds on the second phase of their new project which was taking a major change.The big problem was that both Eugene Leviathan and Catherine were present in the meeting with them. And to make things worse, he was sitting opposite her.He noticed how she kept looking away from him just like she did when she first arrived at the company with Eugene. And she has kept up with that act."I am Eugene Leviathan and I serve as a district manager in the Jackson and Sons Consortium," Eugene introduced himself as he stood up from his seat. "Beside me is Catherine McKay, the present head of logistics in the headquarters and she will be serving as the right-hand man in this deal, reporting directly to the HQ."A few heads turned toward Dere

"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
