Chapter 88

Triffany woke up the next morning from the couch and found Carlos bed empty, perhaps he must have left for work early.



She held her head as she felt a headache and her eyes hurt from sobbing last night. She opened her drawer and took calming pills.



She picked up and phone and switched it on to see twenty missed calls from Tommy and few messages. She read the message and he kept repeating that he was sorry in all of them.



She knew it was not his fault, yet she was not yet In the mood to talk to him, everything had made her weak.



She had gotten married to Carlos who doesn't love her and when he was about to start loving her, she messed things up.



She got up gently and picked her towel, she knew even if she was feeling sick, she still needs to go to work.



She knew she will run into Carlos today and they have announced a meeting that will be held today.



She took her bath and dressed up, she saw the yellow dress he had picked for her the day she was going to his company, her eyes became wet.



Now he would never pick a dress for her again. She put on an office black skirt and blue shirt. She packed her hair back and wore her flats, not in the mood to put on makeup or put on high heels.



She looked at her wedding ring that was on the desk. If only she had worn this ring as he had told her, all this wouldn't have happened.



Now she knew her stubborn attitude had lead to this. She picked up the ring and put them on her ring finger. She had noticed Carlos wear his ring that day she went to his office and told the secretary she was his wife.



No, for a few weeks now, or some months now, Carlos has always worn his ring, but she was too adamant not to wear hers.



She exhaled sharply as she looked up to stop her tears from rolling down her cheek. She picked up her bag and walked out of the room.



She prayed not to run into Gabby since it was also difficult to face her, all this will hurt Gabby if she were to find out. Lucky she did not see Gabby so she left the house and head to the bus stop.



Tommy knocked on Carlos Zack office door as he was permitted by Felicity to enter.



Tommy entered the office and saw Carlos going through some file. "Carlos Zack." He called out and Carlos Zack looked up at him.



Carlos left his desk and pointed at a seat. “Have a seat.” He told Tommy who did and then joined him. “You asked to see me. What do you want to say?” Carlos said in a cold voice.



Tommy thinks his word through and opened his lips. “I am sorry, I don’t know that she was your wife, her last name and also the ring she did not wear...”



Carlos has tried to act calm, but now he couldn't continue as he cuts Tommy off. "It's everywhere on the internet. Why?" He looked at Tommy with disdain.



"Didn't you check or were you on an island?" Carlos said coldly. "Huh!"



Tommy looked down, he knew Carlos was right. "It was my fault. Triffany was telling me about Gabby, how Gabby loves me before I planted a kiss on her lips." Tommy said softly.



"Will you stop saying that!" Carlos shouted as he clenched his fist in anger, right now he wants to smack Tommy across the face, but he was holding back.



"Triffany is my wife and you shouldn't have done that even if you know or not." He continues coldly. "You should gain someone's permission before you kiss that person."



Carlos exhaled sharply as he glared at Tommy. "I want you to say away from Triffany. I don't want her having any Male friend, especially you who have feelings for her." He said seriously.



"If you get that clear, then leave my office and don't be so close to her, don't even touch her hands. She is my wife and my wife alone!" He said sharply and got up from the chair.



"You should leave now." He pointed at the door and turned his back at Tommy.



Tommy got up and looked at Carlos cold back. "Okay, I will do as you said, but know that this was all my fault, not Triffany's. So please forgive her." With this Tommy left the office.



Carlos scoffed. "Triffany?" He remembered how he has been ignoring her since yesterday as he shouted in anger. "Triffany!" He runs his hands through his hair and looked out of the window.



...



Carlos was having a meeting with Director Kammy, Elvis Daniels, Tommy Maxwell and Triffany in his office when Felicity came in.



"Sir." She said softly.



Carlos looked at her. "Felicity I am having a meeting now." He told her, not wanting any interruption.



"I am sorry for barging in sir, but Kelsey is here to see you," Felicity told him.



Hearing Kelsey's name, Triffany looked at Carlos who has been avoiding her gaze all day, she had also noticed he was not wearing his ring today too.



"Kelsey?" Carlos raised his brow. "Tell her I will be with her soon."



"Okay, sir," Felicity told him and left.



Triffany wonder why Kelsey was here, was it because of her, was Carlos going to divorce her and be with Kelsey now? Her heart was not at ease as she looked at Carlos with sad eyes.



Carlos turned to the others. "We would wrap things up now. Elvis does well to make this project go well." He told him.



"Okay, sir," Elvis responded.



"Director Kammy, I trust you will also cooperate with them," Carlos said to Kammy.



"That's my job." Director Kammy smiled.



"Okay. Dismissed." He stood up and pressed the extension button. "Felicity let her in now."



Triffany looked at him as she picked up her things to leave, he has never glance at her all day.



As they leave the office, Kelsey enters and look at Triffany. She was wearing a very beautiful dress and looking so pretty that it made Triffany's heart skip a beat.



Kelsey brush past her and Triffany looked back just in time to see Kelsey hug Carlos and Carlos did not push her away.



For the first time today Carlos glance at her as she left the office saddened. Yes, it is now obvious that he had called his lover. They were going to be together and she will not be kicked out.
