DEALTH WITH Suddenly cognizant of the witness, he glanced at Brian. “Don't you think it would be more appropriate if we had this discussion in private? This isn't exactly a public matter”, Tony said.Samantha wanted to disagree, but she couldn't think of a reason for him to be there.“It's fine. I'll go stand outside”, Brian reply.He just wanted Tony to cancel the contract as soon as possible.He stepped out, looking back to give Samantha a reassuring look before closing the door.A long pause lingered between Tony and Samantha until he walked to the door and locked it.“To make sure I don't get interrupted again”, he said with a smile that made her skin crawl.She ignored the way his eyes rimmed her body.“I have to get home to my family. Can you please get your copy of the contract so we can shred it?” She asks.“We work in the same company, but we rarely seem to see each other. Why don't we sit down and have a cup of tea first?” He offered.She shook her head. “I really have to ge

LOVE HIMHe didn't know the turmoil inside of her. “I'll carry you downstairs and we'll take a taxi back home”, he said.She complied, wrapping her arms and legs around him. Brian, She said, resting her head on his shoulder.“Yeah”.“Don't let go of me”, she said.Don't put me down”.He froze.He had spent the past three years under the firm impression that his wife was disgusted by him.His lack of response made her tense up.“You don't have to do this if you don't want to”, she said.“I want to”, he said firmly.He couldn't fathom a world where he wouldn't want to hold his wife.If it made her happy, he would carry her to the moon and back without complaining.Before heading home, Brian and Samantha went to a clinic so she could have her ankle check. Brian carried her the whole time, except when she had her own seat in the waiting room or needed to sit on the doctor's examination table.They didn't care about the strange looks they received from other people.The couple lightly chatted the

THE CHECK“He needs to stop wasting your time” the room was silent before Samantha let out a long sigh “ oh since it looks like nobody cares for my opinion anymore than Brian I'll be moving out tomorrow”She gestured toward Brian “you can take out the money now”.Thomas step forward wearing an excited expression. “Where would you move to, you should probably wait until you're married before moving in with Nick” he said looking at the check.They both realized with a shock that the amount was in full.“What is this?” she asked. “the money you asked for” Brian replied in a neutral tone.“ where did it come from?” she asked before Brian could answer her Thomas interrupted “who did you borrow from?, one of the stipulations of the bet was that you couldn't borrow the money”. Thomas said with his eyes fixed on the check he had never seen so much money before. Samantha stared at Brian expectedly“ l didn't borrow this money from anyone this is a bonus from work” Brian explained.Brenda

HOUSINGEach place he went seemed like a poor fit. Either the area was too crowded or the curb appeal wasn't right.He needed to find the perfect house and neighborhood just as he was about to walk out of the last real estate place the realtor said. “You know, beggars can't be choosers. If you want a nicer place, you need to be willing to spend more money. You need to look in nicer areas”. Brian paused. “That's it”, he thought. He hadn't been ambitious enough in his search for a house. He drove directly to the sales office of the area he had in mind and found that there weren't many people there. He listened to the salesperson, discussed the price and details of the homes available, and building.“These houses are the best in the area, but that is also made them the hardest to sell”, the salesperson explained.A salesperson patiently answered all of Brian's questions. She had noticed shabby clothes and doubted he would actually buy a house, but she figured it would be a good opport

SCORNFULShe pulled on his sleeve like a small child trying to get her mother to buy her a toy.As her loud voice filled the office, it caught the attention of Brian, who noticed them for the first time since they arrived.Brian looked at them, his face impassive.He knew precisely why they were there. They were spending the money he had given Brenda the day before.It annoyed him that she had given away the money so quickly, especially to someone naive enough to blow it on a fast car.He forced a smile and walked over to them. “Hello Thomas”, he said, nodding at each of them.“Why are you here? “Emma, serve this man again, please”, said Hector to the young saleswoman who had been talking to Brian when Thomas had arrived.She was new and inexperienced and in his eyes, the most appropriate colleague to deal with the scruffy man trying to talk to his new clients.“No, it's OK”, said Thomas, waving his hand dismissively at Brian.“He's my Brother-in-law,” Hector was surprised. He wasn't the

PHENOMENAL“Please just tell me the price”, said Thomas. He was beginning to get scared.Hector told him the price.It was massively out of his budget, but he was too proud to admit it in front of both his girlfriend and a crowd of salespeople.“It's.No, not, not, not safe to live by a river”, he blustered.“I'd rather see one of the other ones you mention”.The girl glared at him.She knew he had nowhere near the amount Hector had mentioned, but she blushed Crimson with embarrassment at how she felt Thomas was handling the situation.Her dreams of having the grandest house in the development vanished almost as quickly as they had arrived.Hector smiled, quickly hiding his disappointment at losing such a huge Commission. “Don't worry, he said.I've got the keys to some lovely villas. Let's go see what you think.They're definitely wear a respectable man like yourself would want to live”.Thomas thought about it and relaxed, glad he was about to see a house he could afford.They needed to liv

LUCK“Go and do it. Order Brian.He had turned back to Hector and stared at him He knew there was no other way he would get respect from this man.The only thing he knew was money, and Brian would teach him a lesson he wouldn't soon forget.“Which villa did you have in mind?” Asked Emma.“The one designed by Mark Ludendorff”, said Brian, still looking at Hector.He wanted to be sure it was a villa in which Samantha would enjoy spending time.She liked privacy. Emma took the bank card and put it in the machine, convinced that the card would be declined. She thought about what alternative job she could find in the area once her manager found out about this and fired her.Hector would settle for nothing less, she decided. “I'd be very surprised that that transaction goes through”, said Hector, starting to enjoy himself.“It's been approved, said Emma quietly.Not believing the card reading machine.Hector looked at her sharply.”Funny joke”, he said.“Pack your bag, you'll be jobless in less

LOST“Thomas, get real”, said Samantha before Brian could speak. “Do you honestly think Brian has that kind of money?Even if he did, why should he do it again?” She turned to Brenda, incandescent with rage.“Why did you give all the money to him? Brian gave the money to you for safekeeping”, she shouted.“Brian gave it to me”, said Brenda. “He got it from Nick. If anything, Nick gave me the money. Not your good for nothing, husband”. Brenda said.She knew she wasn't getting anywhere by throwing recriminations around.“If the money's gone, then so be it”, she said, matter of factly.“You'd better call the police”.But deep down, she knew calling the police would be a waste of time. Technically, Sofia hadn't stolen the car, and proving that she had stolen the money would be tough.Obviously she had been planning this for a very long time and the chances of finding the money were slim.Brenda and Thomas were too upset to eat that evening.They sat quietly at the table, playing with their
