Deborah felt trapped. She didn't see Charles as someone who could actually pull up that stunt, and she herself thought that she was the one who would be able to have leverage over him.In case it wasn't going to be possible to get Kohler to stay with Charles, she would have still been able to find a way to slip out of it, without him having to be so annoyed.But now that he had a sex tape of both of them, she wouldn't be as free as a bird."No." She muttered under her breath."Oh, come on. What's no?" Charles questioned, staring at her with a smile."How could you film us without my permission? How could you dare do a thing like that? Hold on! I didn't see you installing something or taking time to do something before allowing me, to the bedroom. You have trust issues?"Charles chuckled and waved off her thought like it didn't matter."Starting from that moment when I saw the way you glared at Kohler and Quincy, just because they said they were going to try to get the contact as well,
Kohler walked up to her, regardless of the paper which she saw on the table, and hoped that whatever she had to confess, it wasn’t something which wouldn’t be able to sit well with her, no matter how much she tried to understand.She had her seat, and let out a sigh.“You asked to see me.” She uttered as she stared into Deborah’s eyes.She couldn’t tell yet, if Deborah was sober about what she wanted to say, or she was just trying not to look too weak, especially because they were in public.“Yes, I did. And that’s because I have a confession to make, just as I have told you already. But first, thank you for accepting to see me, because I know, with all I have said, and done, when it comes to you and your husband, Quincy, you aren’t supposed to care about seeing me, right now.” She uttered and sighed.“It’s fine. Everyone deserves a listening ear. But right now, what’s important is how fast you get on the matter because I was in the middle of something when you called.” Kohler spoke,
When Kohler got home, she tried to avoid Quincy’s inquisitive look as there was no way she could tell him such a thing.“How was it? What did you both, talk about?” Quincy asked her, out of concern.“Well, it’s nothing to think about.” Kohler responded as she hung her bag in the room. “Well, whatever it is, I expect you to talk to me about it.” Quincy insisted, looking at her with worry.Then she let out a sigh and sat on the bed.“Well, she only apologized, and said some unnecessary things.”“I see. Does she think we are going to let our guard down, just because she apologized? No way.” Quincy spoke.Kohler knew that if Quincy knew what discussion she had actually had with Deborah, he would be angry, and probably make things worse for Deborah, who was reporting her to Mr. Walter.So, it was best for her not to say a word about it.“Well, regardless of what anyone does, I’m certain we are going to get the contract,” Kohler uttered, with a smile.Quincy also held her hands and looked
Kohler’s heart was beating, seriously. She had to think of what to do to make sure he didn’t see Deborah, or that was the end.Before Quincy’s head could turn enough to see Deborah who was coming out of the restaurant, she pulled him so close to her, and enveloped his lips with hers.Quincy’s eyes widened open as he was shocked. He wasn’t expecting this move from his wife, but he played along as he was enjoying it.After they had kissed for a few minutes, Kohler was certain that Deborah would have gone, so she leaned back on her seat, and exhaled sharply.“That was a sweet, and sharp move. We could do this more often.” Quincy teased, and Kohler blushed.Now, she could smile, while feeling relaxed, knowing fully well that there was no trace of her, meeting with Deborah.“Alright, we can head over to that restaurant which you said is very good at making milkshakes,” Quincy uttered, and Kohler smiled.“Not so fast. What about your car?”“Yeah. I’m coming. Just a call.”Quincy reached for
Kohler had to turn to him, with her mouth, gaped open.“I don’t understand.”She knew there was no other way around it; a way she could use to make him not to think that she was faking it.“I’m sorry. I was agitated. You were like, cheering me up to leave who I ought to have left. Enough is enough. I have tried a lot.” Kohler said, with energy, and it made Charles chuckle.His interest in her, sparked up, and he rose to his feet as well and held her by her waist.“I feel so lucky to have you, right now.” He said, then hugged her, and he began to kiss her neck, and everywhere possible around that part.Kohler was highly tempted to kick him in between his legs, but she had to stay calm, so she could execute her plan.Thankfully, the glass of wine was still in her hands, so, she could be able to get the perfect excuse to get him to leave.She managed to spill the glass, on his clothes, and he moved back, then dusted it.“Oh, goodness! This shirt is expensive.” He uttered sharply, then he
“You know what? It’s alright. It’s alright. I’m going to stop bugging her.” Charles relented, and Kohler felt relieved and happy that she managed to get him to back out.“Good. I’m glad you know what’s best for you. By the way, I’m done having a conversation with you. I’ve got to go.” Kohler said, then left. Kohler dropped her phone and let out a sharp relieved breath. She didn’t know that she would be able to pull it off excellently, but she was glad she was able to do it.Her phone rang again, and then she answered the call.“Oh, thank goodness. For you to have answered the call, it must have gone well.” Deborah uttered softly, sounding relieved.“Yes, it did. Although, it wasn’t easy, but then, I pulled it off.”“I’m so glad you did. Alright, I think we need to meet, so we can deliberate on what to do with the recording, and how to guard it, if it needs to be kept.” Deborah uttered, and Kohler agreed.She drove off to that same restaurant where they were meant to meet, and even wh
Since the tone of his voice, wasn’t that harsh and all, she was still calm and was able to continue eating. Quincy on the other hand, was having a good day, because the meeting he had earlier, went the way he wanted it to work out.~flashback~Quincy and Scott sat in the office, and when they had settled down, they began to talk on the reason for their meeting.“So, what should be the next step? Since we have announced the Garuma Contract, many people would have been waiting for the necessary process, needed to be done.” Scott spoke as he placed a document on the table.“I know. My representative is on his way, right?” Quincy questioned.“Yes, he is.”“Good. Make the process, public, so people can start coming to submit their proposals or whatever they have.”“Okay, I’ll do just that,” Scott responded as he wrote down some things.Not long after they had their meeting, they were informed that his representative at his company, in China, had arrived, so they went to the conference roo
“Can I get more of these?” Kohler asked, going about her shopping, trying to ignore the man staring at her. She couldn't help but feel a sense of unease wash over her. The man, standing across the aisle, was fixated on her, his gaze piercing through her like a dagger. There was a long nasty scar so close to his right eye, and it only helped his unwavering stare make her skin crawl. The feeling she felt could be likened to an insect under a microscope.Every move she made, every snack she picked up, was met with an unblinking gaze. It was as if he was studying her, analyzing her every action. Once more, Kohler tried to brush it off, thinking maybe he was just lost in thought, but the intensity of his stare made it impossible to ignore.Why in the world was he staring at her!? Was he a pickpocket waiting for her, or someone with a nasty intention?Kohler’s discomfort grew with each passing moment. Her heart raced, and her palms grew sweaty. “Can you hurry with that please, and where c
