Chapter 33

Carlos woke up the next morning and got dressed for work. Triffany was nowhere in the house. He came downstairs and his breakfast was served by the maid.
He was eating at the dining table when gabby came out of her room dressed. “Morning brother.” She pecked his cheek and joined him for breakfast.
“Morning. How was your night?” He asked.
“Good, yours?” She asked, putting jam in her bread.
“I don’t know.” He looked up at her. “All I know is, sleeping alone in my room was more peaceful.” It was the first night he slept with someone in his room.
Gabby chuckled. “You should try out new thing once in a while.” She sipped her tea. “where is your wife?” she asked.
“You should learn not to ask me.” He rolled his eyes.
“She should join us for breakfast.” She ignored her brother and continue.
“Please Gabby.” Carlos snapped. “not this Morning. “ he exhaled sharply.
Gabby gave up, she knows when not to get on her brother’s nerve. “I’m off.” She got up.
“Where are you going?” Carlos asked.
“To the office.’ Gabby rolled her eyes.
“Office?” Carlos looked up at her in surprise.
“Yes. Glammaly estate.’
“Why?” Carlos arched his brow.
“I want to find out if my departments are working effectively in bringing new skills and idea to help yours.” She smiled looking at her brother.
Carlos scoffed. “Just get out of here and stop bluffing.”
Gabby chuckled. “I’m caught. I’m running an errand for myself.” She picked up her bag. “I have to go shopping and also hook up with the man chasing me on a dating site.”
She looked at Carlos who was looking at her with a furrowed brow. “Don’t worry, it’s just today okay. I will break up with him after six hours. If he is boring, it won’t last for an hour.” She pecked her brother and walked out of the house.
Carlos sips his tea., his sister was a spoilt brat which he knows about already. He picked up his briefcase and walked out of the house, Shanne who was already waiting by the car, opened the door and Carlos entered. Shanne starts the engine, heading to Glammaly estate.
Triffany came home at noon, she had gone for the final interview today but she had not passed, this was something new for her and she have a lot to learn about the job. She had been disqualified.
She removed her shoe and coat, why had she been so excited, thinking she got this one good. Carlos was right, nothing good came out of this.
She had shopped for a new outfit, but now everything has gone to waste. She lay down on the couch and tears rolled down her cheek. She had been crying all this while, she had been so happy when she got the message on her email.
She heard her phone ringing, she sat up to take the call. She sniffled and picked the call. “Hello, Allison.” She tried to keep her emotion in check but her voice came out hoarse.
“Triffany are you okay?” Allison asked, hearing Tiffany's hoarse voice made her worried.
“No Allison, I’m not okay.” Triffany sobs, her tears flowing down uncontrollable. “My life suck, it was never meant to be perfect.” Her voice was chocked
“What’s wrong? You got a job now, you should be happy.” Allison was aware of the joy Triffany had yesterday when she told her about the job, hearing her say her life suck made her surprised.
“I’m not, I failed the final interview, I can’t fit it, I was disqualified.” Triffany exhaled sharply, her knees pulled up, she buried her face between her legs.
“That’s not true Triffany, the Triffany I know doesn’t give up. Triffany you got this, you do.” Allison tries to motivate her.
Triffany shakes her head, it was hard to believe it, she was always disqualified and had never passed any interview, to her she was never going to fit in, she had given up on it all. “Allison I’m sorry, but this time I don’t.”
She hung up and buried her face on her pillow crying, everything was not going as she planned, she was married to someone who doesn’t love her and she can’t even get a job for herself. Her life suck.
…
Carlos Zack had come back home early after his meetings. He entered his room, surprised to see Triffany home, it was barely four o’clock in the afternoon and she had said she was starting her first day today.
He put down his briefcase and took off his tie, he turned to look at her when he heard little sobs. She must be crying and it only meant one thing.
He smirked and take off his coat. “my guess was right. It’s not new though. I already knew you were no good, jobs don’t suit you, and you know why? That’s because you’re not worth any job.
Triffany lifts her eyes to look at him. “I get it, so stop. I have no skills, nothing good could come out of my low IQ.” She burst into tears. “Stop tormenting me!” She shouted.
Her tears rolled down her cheek, she looked at the man that was supposed to be her backbone, the man she called her husband, who would have been pet talking her not to give up, but instead, he was making fun of her situation.
She sniffled. “You are the CEO of your company, so you have no idea how much it hurts to not find a job, even after being a graduate.”
She closed her eyes and open them again, they were filled with angry flames of furry. “if you have even tried writing an application and submitting it to as many companies as you can just to get a congratulating message, you will know how happy it feels like to get one.”
She wipes the tears away from her cheek but more keeps rolling down. “And if you get rejected after getting one because you know nothing about it, then you should know how sad that is.” She furrowed her brow. “You rich people have no idea!”
Carlos who had been watching her silently all this while scoffed. “You want pity? Huh! I can give you a job without an interview at my company,” he said sarcastically. “But I don’t employ people with poor brains like yours. So it's hard.” He scratched his head. “I’m sorry but I can’t just help you.”
Triffany know he was being sarcastic right now, he was mocking her. She stood up, her tears have already dried up at this time. “Why exactly is my life like this.” She glared at him. “I don’t need any job in your company, I can’t work for someone like you, no matter what!” She smirked.
She picked up a tissue and wiped the remaining tears in her eyes. “Who would have thought that a person like you could be such a JERK!” She stretched the last word to make it clear to him.
“What!” Carlos furrowed his brow. “You just called me what?” His eyes turned cold.
