In the midst of the whole ordeal, Davide gave Elma a quick scrutiny and saw that for a fact that this was not just any average woman and she was not with the company. From her outfit, he also guessed that she had been hired for one thing or another by the company and she looked like she was well known and respected in the country. He immediately panicked. The woman was looking at him from where he stood upstairs and she was glaring at him. Davide couldn't allow himself to put the blame on the cleaner, so he quickly descended to where the woman was standing and all through, he was apologising for what had happened. When Davide stopped in front of the woman he saw that only a small part of her skirt had gotten wet, her shoes were also wet but they weren't the kind of shoes that were easily affected by water. Truthfully, she had nothing to worry about and her scream prior was just proof of how hysterical the woman could be. Davide saw this and immediately wanted to raise his head bec
After deciding against making the call, Davide walked back into the hall, he was angry and embarrassed about what had happened, he knew that due to what Mr Lee had pulled, a lot of people would have their eyes on him. And he wasn't wrong. As he stepped inside, he saw that those people even though they were working, some were sneaking glances at Mr Lee and now that he was back into the hall, the few people that saw him couldn't take their eyes off him and kept staring like he was with their souls. Davide was shy and really ashamed no matter how much he wanted to stop himself from feeling the shame, he couldn't. Mr Lee had made him look like a child, treating him like a child that was being scolded for taking something that did not belong to him, Davide was really ashamed. He watched from beside the door how Mr Lee spoke to the others, commanding them like they were slaves, like they were invalid humans and he was at the top of them all, like he was better than all of them combined a
Davide was suddenly uncomfortable, he shifted in his seat as he looked over at the person who had asked the question. He didn't expect that such news would follow him everywhere.However, the person who had asked didn't look familiar to him, Davide could swear that he had never met him.before in his life, he began to wonder from where that person would have known him from and could even tell that he was Avery's husband.The table soon.became quiet as everybody began to look.over at Davide, Darla was beside him, looking at him, probably expecting him.to.refute the news or even say something else but Davide had no.idea what to say so he could only stare at the person."What do you mean to keep a husband?" Another worker asked.The one who had asked then shrugged, "you know, he's married to the woman and he doesn't do shit, she works, brings money home and pays for all his bills".Davide wanted to choke and die. He was suddenly full and wanted to leave immediately, but unfortunately he c
Davide had no clue how to feel about what was before him. He wanted to be angry. He was angry but at the moment he could only let out a short laugh out of disbelief because what he was seeing should not be real.Avery was lying on the bed, and a doctor was sitting on a stool beside her, running a transducer over her abdomen. What was more aggravating for Davide was the smile on Avery's face as she saw him.He looked towards the ultrasound machine that was displaying the image of the baby and he could see that not only was the baby alive, it was healthy.He wanted to yell at her, to scream, to pour out the frustration he had been feeling all day, everything that has been wrong with his day, he wanted to throw Avery off the table, he was fed up with her games and wanted absolutely nothing to do with her."What is it?" She asked as she saw the expression on his face. "Can you not see the long line of women and can't you see they are all with their partners? Why do I have to be the one wh
Davide kept looking at Avery, he didn't know what to say to her. He just stared at her eyes wondering why she derived pleasure from embarrassing him. There was nonreason why Avery would suddenly demand that he paid for the bills if not to embarrass him. She loved doing it. She loved seeing him crumble under her demands . She wanted to make him feel small compared to Noah.Davide didn't understand her. He only thought back to when they were children, when he had fallen for her and he couldn't help but ask himself; "what did i see in this woman?" He couldn't see the things he used to loved about her anymore, it was kike she had been wiped clean and the woman standing begore him was just a stranger, she was a stranger to him, he knew nothing about her nor did he know how to act around her.Hia eyes fell on the two people standing together, she waa leaning on Noah and he had his hand around her waist, it looked kike it was something theybhad planned beforehand, that they were going to em
It was a man from work. Davide recognized him as one of his colleagues, the ones who were very obedient to Mr Lee. Davide never had an opinion of them before, especially the one approaching him. They bever even exchanged more than two words between themselves but he was suddenly approaching Davide and he was not alone.Davide knew that with his presence, he was going to get another round of insults from Avery, another embarrassing scene and may even get laughed at by the passersby.Davide wanted to run away, he was looking everywhere for an escape but there was not an opening for him to take, he only had to stand still and suffer through the unfortunate event that he was going to face. Davide looked to his side and Avery was standing there just casually looking at him, waiting for him to say something about what they had been talking about. Her eyebrows were raised and her eyes were expectant, the questioning look on her face was apparent.Davide suddenly could not blame her for dema
Cassie's conscience wouldn't allow her just walk by without coming to Davide's rescue. From where she stood, she could see how hard davide was having everything, he looked to be very angry and also embarrassed. Cassie pitied him. Her eyes fell on Avery, she felt a rush of disgust in her. She didn't want to believe that her fellow woman could be so shameless and stupid. Cassie couldn't still believe that Avery was an educated woman because an educated woman shouldn't be acting like that. She had no atom of loyalty in her bones and even if they were going to get a divorce, the least she could do was give him even the littlest of respect but she didn't. She did not respect Davide, or their marriage. Davide didn't matter to her, she just used him because he was important, because he was kind."Fuck!" Cassie yelled.Her expensive, red bottom heels stomped the ground. She blamed herself for what Davide was going through, she believed if she hadn't wished to study in Paris, maybe her parent
Davide looked at this phone warily, ke knew Mr Lee with the sudden appearance of Mr Lee, it wouldn't favour him. He wondered what Mr Lee wanted from him. He had given him a fair share of embarrassment today, or was he not satisfied? Did he need more like a greedy sadist?Davide was reluctant about meeting with him but he couldn't just ignore his orders and he was also wondering what Mr Lee was doing at the office so late in the night. Still, his own duty was to appeear when called upon so whether he had questions or not about Mr Lee's life, he had to appear before him.However, Mr Lee wanted him to be at work in three minutes whereas, the hospital was hours away from the office. He didn't know the magic he would use to solve that case but he guessed that if he left now, he might be able to catch up.So he turned to Cassie, "I'll be leaving now, there are some things I need to do". With a kiss on her cheeks, he left
