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
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
"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.
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
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
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
"Alright, that's enough of your promises young man" Mr. Stallion said, clearly annoyed. "Get out of of my house and never come back here. We have given you all the chance we could give. You have failed to make good with any one of them, hence you should just leave. If you do not, then I have no choice than to call the police on you. I say this again, get the hell out of my house."Mr. Stallion feared that with everything Gavin had pulled in the past few weeks, including attending an event with a Rolls-Royce, having the daughter of the Chief of Police as an acquaintance, and being able to pull himself out every problem that have landed on his chores, it clearly would not be too hard for him to do something such as to drag himself and Meghan out of the mess she was now in. He had had suspicions about Gavin, and did not want to take any chances even if chasing him out of the house was the only way to do such."You do not have to worry about that" Harry said at once, his face in a very s
"It's okay, Meghan" Gavin said to her, knowing that she still did not see much of a good thing in the Idea her sister was proposing. She looked at him, the look of disgust she had for him had faded, and now her face just seemed to be blank. "I accept. I will fix things up, don't worry.'She did not say anything to him, even though she wanted to ask again how he was going to do anything when he could not really do anything for himself, but he seemed so sincere and serious in his words that it seemed like a waste of time asking the questions.He left here and without a single word, left the house."Good riddance" Harry said aloud, his voiced echoing in the quietness of the room, and soon the room got filled with laughter.Meanwhile, outside of the building when Gavin was out, he did not go back home immediately. Rather he branched at a cafe where he decided he would stay and talk to Brax Connelly. He was angry but he really did not want to show it in any form. He thought a few drinks
