Arg!

Larry and I had a wonderful night. I promised him to stop worrying about Paula's life and try to forget about my revenge. Although it will be an arduous task, I have also decided to put aside my painful past and focus on my future and my little family.
It's today that I'm going to talk to my HRD and I'll make a decision on what I'm going to do with him later. I will then have to decide if I should sue him legally, fire him, ask him for damages or other. I arrive at my office and thirty minutes later, my detective arrives and I ask my HRD to come to my office. He arrives immediately. I ask him to sit down and he does.
"So Mr. Ndjoh, can you tell me the reason why you broke into my office and took an envelope that does not belong to you?" I asked him, staring him straight in the eye as he tried to escape my gaze.
"..." He says nothing, but lowers his head while supporting her with his hand.
"Answer when I speak to you sir!" I say raising my voice and banging my fist on the table.
He jumps and searches for the words to answer me.
"I was asked Madam." He finally manages to stammer.
"Who? And don't lie to me, because I know who's behind this." I retorted with a threatening tone.
"Her name is Paula N'sang. I don't know what she wants from you, but she asked me to follow you and inform her of your every move." He replies looking ashamed.
"And you accepted? Do you know the risk you run?" I questioned him in a stern voice.
'I assure you Madam, that I refused, but she had me and blackmailed me. I had no choice." He said with a pleading look.
"What was she blackmailing you with?" I asked with the same stern tone.
He lowers his head and remains silent. I resumed looking at him harshly.
"I believe that in your place, I would answer without wasting time."
He raises his head nonchalantly
“She had videos of our sexual encounters and threatened to throw them at my wife and on social networks if I didn't do what she expected of me. “He explains all ashamed.
Hearing that doesn't surprise me. That's all Paula, equal to herself. I keep a long moment of silence then I tell him
"You know what awaits you don't you?"
He looks down at me and I continue.
"You will be fired. I could have taken legal action against you, but I spare you."
"Please Madam, don't send me back please!" He begs kneeling in front of me.
"I have a family that is counting on me. If I lose my job with the job that is hard to find out there, I'm finished. Please don't fire me. Even reduce my salary or punish me, but don't fire me. " He said pleading.
"I'm sorry Mr Ndjoh, but I can no longer continue to work with you. I no longer trust you and what you have done is a huge fault to be forgiven. Get up and you can free your office now. I said with a hard look." He gets up all dejected and leaves. I stay alone with my detective and I tell him
"Thank you for all your hard work Moses, but now I don't need you stalking Paula anymore. It's over with all those little knocks."
"Agreed." He said as an answer.
"I'll transfer your fee to your account later." I conclude.
"Thank you!" He gets up immediately and takes leave of me.
As soon as he leaves, I call my concierge and ask him to give Paula notice so that she can vacate my apartment next month. I want to get this thing over with, and the best thing is to not have Paula around. From now on, she manages her life and I will not be interested in it at all. The way she evolves, she doesn't even need anyone's help to get herself into trouble. She is already doing very well on her own to go straight there. I think for a moment about her way of acting and manipulating the people around her, then my thoughts fly to Mr. Manga and his earlier pleas. Maybe I was too hard on him. However, I cannot keep him in my company. Confidence is a key quality for me in business. But I have a solution. Tomorrow, I will call one of my partners to find him a position in his company.
Paula
I half slept last night, I was so anxious for the morning to arrive so that I could ask my mother about Steve and his belongings, which are no longer there. Very early in the morning, I go to my mother's room. I find her asleep, but I wake her up.
"Wake up mom!" I said earnestly.
"Paula!?" She reacts, looking at me in astonishment, as if my presence in her room surprised her.
"Yes mom, get up I need to talk to you." She gets up with sleepy eyes and says to me looking annoyed
"What is urgent enough for you to wake me up at dawn?"
"If I do it, it's because it's very important." I replied with a hard look.
"I'm listening to you then." She finally said while arranging herself well on the bed.
"Very well! I would like to know where Steve has gone. And his things, what happened to them?" I immediately asked.
"Ah! Is it to talk about this thug that you wake me from my deep sleep?" She said with contempt.
"This thug as you say, is my husband mom and I forbid you to disrespect him! Only me can talk to him like that." I ordered him with a stern look.
"It's okay, no need to get all worked up." She says raising her hands to the sky then she looks at me and takes a more serious tone and tells me.
"Your dear husband as you say, came here already more than two weeks ago, asking me to tell you that he had work and is leaving home."
"What?" I exclaimed almost screaming.
"How does he leave home? What work does his leaving home require?" I asked in shock.
"As you followed." She answers calmly.
"And where did he go? And why is he leaving the house without telling me? And his things, did he need to take them all, like he was never going to come back?" I questioned her in a panic.
"I don't know where he went, nor whether he will come back or not. As for warning you before making this decision, how could he have done it, if you only come to your house once only once a month? she asks me.
"Never mind, he can't just walk away! I'm still his wife!" I exclaimed annoyed.
"And you have no idea where he might have gone? Didn't he make some friends in the neighborhood so I could ask them about his whereabouts?" I asked with a desperate look.
"You yourself know that your husband is a homebody. But maybe I have my own idea about what happened, from what I heard." she replies.
"So what did you hear?" I hastened to question him.
"Since you started being away from home, Steve has gradually grown closer to the maid. If you want my opinion, there must be something in between there." She said confidently.
"No," I replied, shaking my head and laughing at such a ridiculous idea.
"How can you even imagine that Steve could have a relationship with a cleaning lady, someone of no means at all? So he's going to leave a woman like me for this... maid!" I said offended by his words.
"Anyway, believe it or not, but I'd bet my hand that this is it." She replies sure of herself.
"I'll ask her personally when she's here later. Besides, she's accountable to me and believe me, she won't last long in this house." I say angry.
"She stopped coming." Answer my mother.
"How did she stop coming? What does that mean?" I panicked.
"As you hear my daughter. And coincidentally, she stopped coming a day before your husband left home." She tells me.
"No, what you're telling me doesn't please me at all, but then not at all!' I said getting up from the bed and clenching my fists.
"And you are not at the end of your surprises my daughter." Takes my mother back with a coolness that has the gift of pissing me off.
"What else is more surprising that I have to learn?" I questioned her, coming back to my place on the bed.
"Well, I overheard a conversation between Steve and your housekeeper and he said he went to ask forgiveness from your sister and it looks like she got him a job. He also added that that one is different from you and that she has a big heart, unlike you who have brought her nothing but misfortune. He praised her constantly. He was downright sorry to the housewife about her choice to have married you." She explains to me calmly.
I boil with rage in the depths of my entrails. What a humiliation! How can Steve do this to me when I had formally forbidden him, or asked him nicely not to humiliate himself in front of Martina? And as if nothing had happened, he will tell our past and our intimacy to this less than nothing housewife! Steve will pay me! I will never let this insult go unpunished. It would have been better to die than to perform this humiliating act. I stand up in anger and slam the door to my mother's room on my way out. I head for my apartment. I am in all my states. So, Steve would have abandoned me for the cleaning lady, and even worse, he would have gone to make amends with Martina. If this is true, Steve will pay me, and very dearly.
I lie down on the bed and call two young students who have a habit of blowing off my steam when I feel bad like I am now. I've always been like that, I need sex to lower my adrenaline, when I'm up like this. Unlike my clients who pay me generously to just get off without paying attention to my pleasure, these students that I hire, I use them as I please and they are at my disposal. They satisfy me in all my fantasies. I was lying there waiting for them when there was a knock on the door.
"But well, how did they manage to arrive quickly?" I inquired surprised, since I'm not expecting anyone but them.
Surely they were around. Have I come to the conclusion. I get up all excited and go to open the door and find my concierge. I admit that it is not bad there, and in addition, it is chewable at the moment when I am terribly in need of sex. I give him a cheeky smile and he looks down and I feel envy in his eyes seeing my breasts standing up in the sexy nightie I'm wearing. I pull her inside and kiss her. He loses his means and finally, we make love in the living room. While we were doing this, there was another knock on the door and we were interrupted. I adjust my babydoll and go see who's there. As soon as I open, my two young students are there. I wave to th
