My boss’s wife
RYAN’S POV
” It has got to be Sophie.” I muttered to myself as I made my way to the bathroom to remove the stains from my suit. The spilled wine had stained my suits and I need to get them off.
My mind was racing with the thought that I had just met my sweetheart from 10 years ago and she was acting as if she did not know me. The time I spent with Sophie made me confirm that she was the person I had just met; I knew her well, even though it had been years since I had seen her. I was certain it was her.
“But why did she do that though?” As I made my way to the lavatory, I questioned myself wondering why she had to put upt. hat act in front of everyone. It felt embarrassing.
“I could not really blame her, could I?” Years ago, I believed I had caused her significant pain when I left her for her best friend.
” But, she did not have to feign not knowing me like that, Right?” I said to myself as I walked to the lavatory. I pondered about her actions and could not, no matter how hard I tried, figure out why she did it. “Or was I mistaken?” I asked myself again concluding that since it had been a while I had seen Sophie, so perhaps I had misjudged her. Still, I could not help but think I wasn’t mistaken.
Sophie looked more gorgeous than ever, with more glamour and confidence. Before now, Sophie would never call security on anybody, even though she was been bullied. But now, she appeared different. She appeared sophisticated, confident, and put together.
The way she spoke was unlike Claire, I have met her a few times and I was sure, she was not her. She appeared different and felt different. I felt connected to her as we bumped into each other. I felt more like Sophie, however I thought about it.
Entering the lavatory, I proceeded to the mirror and stared at my reflection admiring myself and soon enough proceeded to remove the stains from my suit. Although it was not so much, it was a tough stain and I had to scrub hard to have it removed.
As I cleaned off the stains, my thoughts strayed to how she apologised and attempted to remove the spots from my body after we bumped into each other. Our gazes met and I stood still for a while before I recognised who she was.
“She is so beautiful and charming.” I whispered, lost in contemplation; her hands were so delicate to the touch, and as I handed her her purse, I felt so warm. I wished I could have held her longer before realizing who she was and blurting out.
As I thought about what happened, I remembered how I had similar encounter with Claire once and it was not the same, proving to me even more that it was not her.
I grinned, hoping that it was Sophie after all. I have missed her terribly and wished I could have her back. After our breakup, I had searched for her for two years, but she had moved out of the city and her aunt did not want to tell me anything either.
I had given up hope of ever finding her until today, and when I remembered she was with my boss, Karl i immediately lost my grin.
” But why was she with Karl though?” I wondered, Karl had a gorgeous wife, Claire. ” Whatever happened to her?” I muttered sighing heavily, to make Sophie parade as her.” I resolved to find out more about her, and just then the notion of calling my friend Andrew sprang to me. I took up my phone as I was done cleaning the stains and glancing at my reflection in the mirror, I called him.
The phone rang repeatedly before he eventually picked up, “Hello, I said as Andrew picked the phone. ” Guess who I just met?” I questioned hoping a rapid response. Andrew, however garbled in his speech as he appeared drowsy. “Andrew are you there?”I questioned and he seemed to have woken up as I called him.
” What is it Ryan? Could you just tell me what is happening and who you saw that made you wake up? He asked me slightly irritated that I had woken him up. “Why are you sleeping at this hour after you declined to attend the company-organized celebration in my honour? I asked him, annoyed with the fact he made an excuse for not being at the party while he was just sleeping at home.
” I had a meeting earlier and was fatigued when I came, Waddup bruh.” He asked me, and I decided to let it go since he had been busy like he had told me when I informed him about the party. I decided to continue with what I wanted to say to him.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“Well, I just saw Sophie at a party.” I said, “Who is Sophie?” he asked, still sleepy. I was surprised at his question. I wondered how he calmed he didn’t know who I was talking about. “You have got to be kidding me, Sophie, my pregnant ex, who I left to be with Tana.” I responded.
“Yes, but it is been a long time. How did you two meet?” He asked me. She was at the party and it seemed she is acquainted with my boss.”How do mean acquainted?” He asked again. “They are acquainted as if they are in a relationship” I said to him. ” But what about his wife?” He enquired. “And how is Sophie even at your party.” He added. “She seemed to be involved with my boss, he even parades her as his wife.” I told him.
“Are you high and how much have you had to drink?” He asked and I knew what where he was going too. ” I took around three glasses of wine.” I responded. “You know you do not do well with booze, bruh, I believe you are weary from the event, you should get some rest, and by the morning, I am sure you would have the facts.” He mouthed finally.
“You honestly believe I am faking and imagining this?” I questioned him. ” I do not think you are faking it; I simply know you are probably inebriated and unsure of what you have seen.” He said finally. Not ready to give up I told him, I sent him a video from the party, check and see that it is real, and that I am serious about what I said.”
“Alright then, Did you attend with your wife Tana?” No, she stated she had to be somewhere else for her company, “Well she would have validated your suspicions as they were friends back in the day. I just checked the image, and this is Claire Rutherford.” He said and when I tried to oppose him, he shut me up immediately.
” She is your boss’ wife. Keep off so you do not get in problems with this, he replied, ending the conversation. I knew I was not wrong. I assumed I would have to contact Aunt Susan to confirm.
