Not Your Average Son-in-law 156. Play Along.
Good morning, miss. How are you doing?" Mr Adrian said calmly with a smile. His eyes caught sight of Meghan immediately because she was still on her feet. A huge smile swam across his cheek as he stared at her. "Please, have a seat. Good morning.""Good morning, sir." She said almost shyly as she took the next empty seat."Who is this beautiful lady, Sophie?" He asked, his eyes not leaving her face. Meghan clutched the handle of her little bag softly, trying to find comfort in it."This is my sister, Meghan Stallion." She smiled dryly and looked at Meghan from the side of her eyes. Meghan had a place smile on her face as she reminisced all the things her sister had said before coming in. Play along! Play along!! She kept repeating those words in her mind."Wow! I didn't even know you had a sister. Or even one as beautiful as she is." His eyes were still on Meghan as he spoke. "Meghan, this is Mr Adrian, the director of logistics. Mr Adrian is the person I told you about.""Wait..." H
Not Your Average Son-in-law 157. Mr. Director, Sir.
Mr. Adrian did not give it much thought when the women laid down the reasons for coming, he did not even want to give it much thought. He immediately reached out his hand to the cupboard of his table. "If it is investment you want from us, then for sure, just know that you have gotten it. There is no need to make a woman as pretty as you are, stressed. Whatever you need, so long as I am here, you can get it."Meghan was still shocked at the behavior of the director of logistics. He did not act like what she had expected from a man working in such an officer of very good repute."Mr. Director, sir..." Meghan began but got cut off in her speech by him."It's Mr. Adrian to you, please. I have no intention of making you talk to me so formally. You should know that by now. I want you to be free with me, Ms. Meghan. You aren't a mrs right? I mean is there a Mister Meghan somewhere? Does the Stallion family have another son in-law?""Actually..." Meghan felt uncomfortable from deep down her
Not Your Average Son-in-law 158. Gavin’s Interruption.
Before she would open the door completely, she felt a vibration pulse through from the other side, and a knock followed."Wait, who is that?" Mr. Adrian asked. "Don't come in now. "It would seem that the person coming in did not hear perfectly what the bispectacled man had said, and stepped in without knowing that there was someone standing right at the door.Sophie's face was almost slammed by the flat wooden surface of the door, as it swung towards her. She staggered back, nearly falling down. It was a good thing Meghan caught her before she would have fallen to the floor."Who is that blind uncultured swine" Sophie thundered, unable to hide her rage and hoe terribly mad she could become. "Do you not know how to open a door?"She said this, with not a shred of fear of who the person coming in may be. She was almost convinced that it could not be anything more than a low life.""I am so sorry" a familiar voice trumpethed through, giving her a shock."Gavin? Why you—"Meghan hid her
Not Your Average Son-in-law 159. Two Can Play.
After Mr. Adrian had finished talking to Sophie, he turned towards Gavin and said, "And you, you have been standing here for sometime without saying a word, do not tell me that you actually came here for nothing. What brought you back to the office, Gavin. Please do not tell me that you came to beg for your salary. Please you should know already that I have said what I intend to say, I am not changing my mind."Gavin kept staring at Meghan, ignoring the voice of Mr. Adrian who stared him down. Mr. Adrian thought of that entire ordeal as nothing more than just Gavin intentionally trying to insult him.Two can play at that game, the man thought to himself, drawing am imaginary battle line and pressing his hands hard on to the hard wood of the table."I really do not understand why we still have you working here. Why are you not fired yet for being a total bozo on the job? You really are useless at everything. Everything. Even timing. You should get put of my office right now. But befo
Not Your Average Son-in-law 160. The Name “Gavin”.
"Husband?" He asked in disbelief, anger pitching in his voice. The line of his eyebrows thickened as a frown set over his face. "Your sister's husband? Gavin?"No words left the lips of anyone in the room. Gavin stood by the door, looking on in confusion as he wondered what exactly was going on. Meghan had an apologetic look on her face and so did Sophie. At this point, she was wondering why I told him who Gavin was to her sister and it made her feel guilty. But almost immediately, she kicked the feeling off, concluding that even if she had not said a word, Gavin's presence had already ruined everything.Meanwhile, Mr Adrian's anger increased when he got no response."Leave my office now." He said in a surprising, calm tone. He moved his seat back to take something out of his cabinet. It was a piece of paper, obviously some document."But Sir...""But what? Leave my office now." He cut in before Sophie could say anything more. This time, he raised his voice, focusing his eyes on them.
Not Your Average Son-in-law 161. Inside The Stallion's Mansion.
Gavin went home later that evening, hoping that he would see his wife at home, and perhaps talk to her about what had just happened in the office. His anger had died down a bit since the encounter with the office of the Director of Logistics at his work place.The door was locked so he figured that she must not be at home then. Anyway he was already super stressed from work that he needed to relax. His body was tensed. Every muscle within them shook with pain. He imagined that he bright all of this upon himself when he decided that he would still be working and not show himself off as the C.E.O.He slumped on a couch and proceeded to rest his head. His eyes peered at the ceiling. He closed and opened them, with everytime he opened them, the more sleepy he got. He did not know when he finally fell asleep and lost all bearing on reality. His phone went abuzz and shook him back to wakefulness. "I am up. I am up." He reached out his hand and seized the phone. Staring at it, he saw a num
Not Your Average Son-in-law 162. Hell Of A Predicament.
It seemed certainly like some cruel joke being told to him by Mr. Stallion. The air in the room was hot even with the fact that it was littered with air conditioning, on all walls. "What do you mean by that?" he asked. "You are disowning her from the family because? Can you all fill me up on what exactly is going on?"His words seemed to do nothing but annoy the family much more than they were already mad at him."Do not come over here and raise your voice at us," Sophie said, bolting up from her seat and making her way towards Gavin. "This is all your fault. You are the reason your precious wife is in this hell of a predicament. You are a hell of a predicament yourself."Gavin looked at her, and then looked at the faces of everyone around him. To him it was obvious what was going on, and that if anybody was to blame for any of this, Mr. Stallion who made up such a rule should be at the forefront. All of this, he could already see, was just a ploy made by his so called father in-law
Not Your Average Son-in-law 163. Don't You Dare.
To Gavin what was happening around him was nothing but mere noise, generated by none other than his inlaws who clearly did not like him and had orchestrated everything to see that he did not end up with their daughter and sister. The only person he wanted and, as he thought, needed to hear from, was none other than Meghan, who sat quietly at the corner, but was also visibly shaking on the wooden chair she sat on.He turned to her, ignoring all the blaming and finger pointing from all the other members of the family, and placed his hand on her quivering shoulder. "It's going to be alright. Do not worry about this, I will fix it. I promise you."Meghan stirred her neck to his side, and after that came her palm waving through the air, landing painfully on Gavin's cheek. She had given him a real resounding slap."Don't you dare touch me, after what you just did" she screeched at him. He took a step back with hands hanging on the cheek of his face as well. Everybody around him mumbled a
