I did receive a text from Andrew informing me to be patient and let him handle everything. At this point of time in my life, patience has become the enemy. I want everything sorted out immediately without delay.
“Good day, Kelly.
Is your Boss in? Of course, he is in
I wish to speak to him.” I asked Kelly, Lawyer Andrew’s clerk at his law firm
“Does my boss have an appointment with you? I already checked my schedule for today and your name wasn’t on the list. Perhaps, you may need to come back some other time.” Kelly interrogated me. It took her a while to respond. Her attitude towards me showed that something wasn’t.
“Do I need to have an appointment with your Boss before I see him? Don’t you recognize me anymore? It’s my Cyril, the CEO of Penhurst company. Do you remember me now? Now go inside there and tell him I wanna see him,” I demanded.
I couldn’t stay calm anymore. She had pushed me to the wall with her irrational attitude towards me. If it was easier for her, she would have lied that Andrew wasn’t in his office
“You might wanna be careful how you yell at me, sir. I am not a kid nor am I your pauper. Such an act won’t be tolerated in this firm. I just asked you a simple question if you have an appointment with my Boss and you haven’t responded. What do you want me to do? Let you go inside? Hell no!” She clapped back at me.
She unleashed the beast in me. I already vowed that I wasn’t gonna hit any lady after the last encounter with Olivia. Unfortunately, with Kelly’s attitude, I am most likely to overturn my decision.
I dropped my fist, which was ready to leave a footprint on Kelly’s face. I would rather not be charged with assault because I was in a law firm.
I didn’t bother speaking further to exchange words with Kelly anymore. It became clear to me that Andrew had instructed her not to let me.
I stayed mute to sort out another plan. The moment I saw that Kelly was not paying attention to me anymore, I rushed Inside Andrew’s office unannounced, only to meet him In the company of some stranger.
Judging from their disposition, it was obvious that they were about to have sex before I showed up to ruin everything.
“Sir, I tried to stop him from coming but he refused. I wasn’t even aware when he forced himself inside,” Kelly explained tirelessly. She panted heavily after being tired of chasing me like a Formula One car racing sport.
“It’s fine!
You can leave.
I will handle it from here,” Andrew dismissed Kelly without a punishment.
“Cyril, but why?
I thought I asked you not to come. I already assured you that I had everything under control. Coming here wasn’t necessary,” Andrew queried me right in front of his mistress.
“I see.
It’s obvious, isn’t it?
Does your wife know about this?” I mocked Andrew in the presence of his mistress. I wanted him to experience what I felt when he chose to play games with me.
“You are married?”
The mystery girl got off Andrew’s lap in frustration.
“Yes, he is married and with beautiful kids. A little advice for you, run away if you wanna stay alive. If his wife ever finds out about this, you will regret ever being born,” I added fuel to the fire. I enjoy doing it.
“That’s enough, Cyril.
Don’t stand there spewing trash like you are a saint. Is this what you came here to do?” Andrew cautioned me. He planned to make me stop talking.
I refused and became unstoppable.
I proceeded to spill more information about Andrew that his mistress wasn’t aware of just to frustrate her and make her leave.
“I can explain.
It’s not what you think. I had plans to tell you about it but…”
“But what?”
I sharply cut in to interrupt Andrew and make him clueless.
“Don’t bother making excuses for your infidelity. Just admit your flaws already and stop justifying your actions,”
“Damn you, Andrew.
You can’t defend yourself to save your life. I can’t believe this. You son of a bitch. So you have a family and still wanna get married to me? How cruel can you be? I don’t want to hear from you again. I am gone for good. You are worse than a devil. I cursed the day I met you.” She uttered derogatory remarks against Andrew and left with a broken heart.
Like a determined lover, Andrew rushed to meet his mistress with the hope that she was gonna return with him.
Unfortunately for Andrew, he showed up alone. I needed no one to tell me that he had lost her for good.
“What just happened?
Don’t say it, let me guess.
Your mistress just abandoned you, didn’t you? Ew! I can see the sadness hovering around your face already. It seems like someone is about to start crying,” ‘I mocked Andrew on his return.
Without saying a word, he walked up to me with blood in his eyes. I already prepared myself to defend his punch. With such rage, I expect Andrew to punch me In the face.
“Do you know the reason I won’t hit you? Because I am a lawyer. But I am yet to understand why you did what you did. What do you stand to gain from all of this?”
“Everything, Mate,” I rushed to speak.
“I wanted you to know how it felt to be hurt. So tell me, how do you feel now? Firstly, you ignored my calls. It wasn’t enough for you to do that, you even had the guts to instruct your clerk not to let me in? How could you? I groaned.
“From the way you just spoke to me, one would think that you’re a saint. For crying out loud, Cyril, you’re not faithful to your wife. You confirmed to have cheated on her countless times. She was quite aware of this, yet she didn’t come running to a lawyer to file for a divorce. Guess who cheated back? Your understanding wife-and it seems as though she’s been fucking with Adrian for decades. Cyril, it brings me so much joy to tell you that you’re an irritating hypocrite,” Andrew took his time to clap back at me, and it hurt deeply.
His words sunk into my brain. I don’t see myself forgetting them in such a hurry.
