Chapter 44

He exhaled softly. “Carlos it’s none of your business.” He strolled back to his chair, he sat down and just then he heard a knock on the door. “Come in.”



Felicity stepped in. “Sir, Mr Garrett is here to see you.”



“Let him in,” Carlos ordered.



Felicity left the office and a few minutes later Garrett entered. They exchanged pleasantries and sat down. “Why the look on your face?” Garret asked, noticing Carlos brow was a little arched.



“Someone got me offended.” He said simply. Felicity came in with two cups of hot coffee and left the office.



“Who did?” Garret watched Carlos sip his tea softly. “I’m quite sure it’s not Kelsey or any of the workers.” He lifts his coffee to his lips.



“Just someone.”



“And you can’t tell me who that someone is?”



“That lady…” Carlos exhaled sharply as he stopped what he was about to say.



“Your wife?” Garret smiled as he looked at Carlos's face.



“I don’t want to talk about it.” Carlos exhaled softly.



Garret relaxed on the chair. “Well, you have always been offended since you married her, I’m sure that’s why.”



Carlos runs his hand through his hair. “I’m scared that she might get me and my company into trouble like that is what I’m trying to avoid.”



Garret has not heard Carlos say he was scared before, this was the first time. “So what is it this time?”



“She got herself a job.” He said softly.



“That’s a good thing.” Garret smiled.



Carlos looked at him and he stopped smiling. “Listen to the end please.” Garrett gave him his full focus. “Okay, she failed the interview since it’s not her thing but was given a second chance to re-do the interview and she wants to learn more about it.”



“She was only given five days before the interview, how can she learn in those five days, I’m letting her know she should stop and give up on it.” He finished.



Garret looked at his friend. “You should encourage her and also teach her.”



“It’s a waste of time.” Garrett heaved a sigh. “Hear me out first. No need for her to do that, but…” he exhaled softly, he swallowed hard. “She found a friend as she ran into a friend who wants to teach her more about it and now she is at his place.’



Carlos rubs his face and sips his coffee slowly again, he lifts his eyes and saw Garret still looking at him. “I woke up this morning and she was not at home, I’m not sure she even ate breakfast, or if she took her bath or brushed her hair and teeth.”



Carlos runs his hands through his hair, just the thought of her being messy annoys him. “But, she is at another man’s house, she was even smiling in her sleep lat night, I’m sure she was seeing him, like who the heck is he to make her leave home early.”



Garrett smiled. “Are you jealous now?”



Carlos gave him a cold glare and scoffed. “Jealous? No, Never! I don’t care, all I care about is me, she might embarrass me. If he finds out that messy girl is married to me, don’t you think the news will spread everywhere huh! And she doesn’t have a high IQ to think of that.” He frowned.



Garrett shakes his head. “You are jealous.”



“I’m not.” Carlos got up from his chair. “I don’t care where she goes or how she lives her life, I don’t want mine to be ruined by her.” He turned t see Garrett laughing. “It’s not funny.”



“If you’re so tensed, then call her.”



“Why should I? I don’t care, Garrett, I don’t. “ he sat down on the chair again.



Felicity knocked on the door and step in. “Sir.”



“Yes.”



“The representative of the research company is here.”



“Let her in.”



“Okay, sir.” Felicity left the office.



…



Triffany finished for the day with Tommy, h drove her to the bus stop. “Why don’t I take you home at once, I’m not busy.” Tommy turned to her before she steps out.



“I have somewhere else to go before going home, thanks for the ride and tutoring.” Triffany lied, she was getting used to it now.



Tommy flashed her a smile. “It was like ABC, you are a fast learner.”



“Thanks, I will do better tomorrow.”



“Take your time, don’t stress yourself okay, and take a good night sleep.” They waved each other goodbye, he watched Triffany enter the bus as the bus drove off.



Tommy smiled. “she’s still the same as always.” He touched his hair softly. “I’m glad I met her again, this time I won’t let her out of my sight.” He smiled and drove off.



Carlos arrives home and went upstairs to his room, he looked at the couch and found Triffany asleep, he knitted his brow as he put down his bag, took off his suit and tie.



He sat down on the sofa and stare at her face. “She’s asleep again.” He looked at his wristwatch. “Just seven-thirty.” He scoffed as he looked at her. “Did she have a lot of fun today at his place?”



He frowned, running his hands through his hair. “How can she sleep so peacefully.” He muttered to himself.



He looked at the bedside light and smiled as an idea got into his head. He got up from the chair and pushed it down, it shattered and the loud sound made Triffany opened her eyes.



She sat up and turned to Carlos who had his hands in his pocket and the broken light bulb on the floor. “What is that noise for?”



“Can’t you see the light bulb fell?” Carlos pointed at it on the floor.



Triffany bites her lower lips in anger. “Who pushed it down?”



“It fell.” Carlos looked at her with his lips curled up.



Triffany exhaled softly. “Then clean it up, I’m sleepy.” She turned to continue her sleep.



“Hey!” Carlos called out and she sat up again.



“What!” She raised her face to stare at him in anger.



He put his hands back in his pocket. “Come and clean it up.” He smirked.



Triffany scoffed. “I did not push it down.”



“I didn’t push it down too.” Carlos lied.



Triffany was already tired of going back and forth with this man, she should be asleep now but this man was bothering her. “You’re the man, you should clean it out.”



Carlos was loving these back and forth talks, he enjoys seeing the angry reaction on her face. “It fell because you’re in this room.” Triffany glared at him. “So, you should clean it up.”



She knew arguing with this man was useless because she always loses at the end. She got up from the bed and bent down to clean it but the glass slice through her hand. “Ouch!” she cries out.



Her blood spills as Carlos bent down close to her. “Hey, must you be clumsy?” He grabbed her hands to take the piece of glass out.



“Let go of my hand it’s your fault.” She struggled to free herself from his hold.



Carlo griped her hands and took off the glass even with her protest. He made her stand up, still holding her hand. “Let’s treat that first before it scars.”



He leads her out of the room, they went downstairs as she brought the first aid kit, he did a treatment on it and band it. “You should be more careful.”



Triffany glared at him. “Don’t act as if you are not happy I got a cut.”



“I’m not,” Carlos said sincerely and Triffany looked up at his serious face, he intended to wake her up but not his intention to make her injure herself.



Triffany removed her hands from his. “I’m okay now.” She said softly and look away from his face.
