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
Kohler couldn’t stay calm as she kept re-reading the message over and over, trying to wonder who could have done this to her child.“Could it possibly be that man, because I told him I’m married?”~flashback~Kohler had felt the urge to ask him why he had been staring, but the situation was just too eerie for her to bother asking. “Who knows what it could lead to, if I tried to ask?” She thought to herself.Without wasting much time, she picked up all that she wanted to get, and then paid for it, even without collecting the change as she had told the seller not to bother.Just as she began to head back to where Quincy and the kids, were, she heard quick footsteps behind her, and she almost screamed, if not that he jumped right in front of her.Although, she gasped in shock as she wasn’t expecting him to pop up just in front of her.“Why are you stalking me!” Kohler voiced out, trying to muster up the courage to confront him.But then, he chuckled, and swept his flying hair, to the ba
A message then came on his phone from a strange number.“Having fun, trying to breach my walls, then. Well, you ought to have known by now, that it isn’t possible, except you’re okay with being destroyed, and still not getting what you want.”Quincy squeezed his face, and could almost punch through anything to let out the frustration which was eating him up. Then he texted him, back.“Enough of these games, and cut to the chase!” He texted, feeling impatient, already.Then another text came in.“Alright, If you are ready to work on my terms, to get your daughter, you’ll have to pay 5 billion dollars and I give you just three days to provide that.”Right there, Quincy felt something huge drop in his heart, like a sinking rock.Although, he was capable enough to provide that money, but he had to keep his identity, hidden. He couldn’t possibly pay it, without Kohler questioning him on how he got the money. Even though he told her that a friend or a Samaritan helped with the money, she wo
