Chapter 36

He called me wifey?
"So I'm guessing you've seen the interview right?" He asks, I can hear him ruffling through some papers.
I roll my eyes "yes I have, but an interview, really?" I asked incredulously.
"Okay, what were you expecting when I said we'll be making our marriage public?" He says in a sarcastic tone.
I remain silent for a while, now that I think of it, I don't know what I was expecting. I just thought it was anything but an interview.
"Good point. So why'd you call"
"Since our marriage was made public like five minutes ago, I've been getting invites to balls and parties or rather we've been getting invites cause they all said "come with your beautiful wife" so we have to attend a few" he said calmly
I smirk "so you think I'm beautiful" he's being nice today, so I thought, why not pull his leg?
"So that was the only thing you heard out of everything I said" I could literally see him frowning.
"of course not" I answered sarcastically.
"Good, now you have to come up with a story of how we met"
"Why me? Isn't this something we should do together?" I was literally glaring at my phone. Did he think he can just dump this on me? He wants me to deceive people ALONE!
"You because you're a lady and you ladies love watching non realistic cliche popcorn movies and of course this is something we should do sitting together but you'll be the only one creating the scene. I have to be with you to make sure you don't get carried away and say we met under the ocean or something" I huff and roll my eyes at his despicable bluntness.
"are you free now" he continues.
"Yes, I'm on my lunch break"
"Okay, I'm outside the hospital. Meet me in five. We need to make a public appearance together having lunch, plus I want you to make up your story there" he says nonchalantly.
"okay, excuse me? You're already outside the hospital? What if I told you I was busy ?" He must be ridiculous and unrealistic if he expected me to drop everything just to go on a deceitful public lunch.
"If you weren't free you would have made yourself free and come to meet me" he answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"what if I was operating on a patient?" I asked annoyed. "you don't expect me to leave the patient to die just to meet you for lunch"
He scoffed "I only came here cause I knew you weren't busy"
"how did you know?" I asked confused.
"I have my ways. I'll be waiting don't be late. I hate waiting" with that he ended the call.
I rolled my eyes and took my purse. I'm on a black suit and silver heels so I'm good to go. Someone knocked on the door and I ushered the person in. Tina entered with a shy smile.
"What can I do for you Tina?" I asked annoyed, I don't quite find something right about this girl. She always seems to come at the weirdest times and she's always acting meek and shy. Maybe I'm just being delusional.
"Hmm, Miss Sophie is on her way to your office" She always does this, every single day. It's almost like she's looking for excuses to get into my office. Anytime she gets in she keeps looking around. I'm fed up with her mysterious acts.
"Tina, why do you always seem to give yourself the job of informing me whenever someone is coming into my office?. I'll prefer if you'd stop that act if not I'll need someone to inform me if you're entering my office. You're my assistant, you're a nurse, your work is medical related, you're not my doorman so refrain from such acts or I'll stop you from coming here" she gives a slight nod before going outside.
What a weird girl. Sophie enters seconds later. "hey girl, ho..."
"Get to the point" I snap. I have less than three minutes to meet Damien and I don't want him giving me lectures. Plus I'm not even friends with Sophie, she's Tara's friend. They've made it their life's task to disturb the hell out of my life.
"Are you really married to Damien Lorenzo?" I stare at her brown eyes and smirk. She's always been a conniving person. She flicks her red hair and straightens her white knee-length gown. She's of average height but her six inch heels say otherwise.
"No, I'm not married to Damien Lorenzo" I say taking a step towards her.
She gasps and points accusingly at me "you liar, you're married to him"
I take my head back and chuckle "if you already know then why the hell are you asking me?"
"I just wanted to be sure I..."
"no, you just wanted to come here and get information. You wanted to say I broke Sam's heart, you're ridiculous, jobless and delusional. I don't have your time" I say cutting her off. I grab my phone and give her a look that says "get out".
She gets the memo and sighs. "before I leave, I just wanted to let you know that he can never love you. I know there must be more to this story..."
"keep waiting for the rest of the story, though I'm pretty sure you'll be waiting forever. The bottom line is I'm the one with the ring and last name not you. So if there's anyone who has the least chance of being loved, it's you.
One more thing, unlike you, I don't see getting married as a career or financial breakthrough and a fame pave way. I have my money, I make my money and I don't build my life around a man. But I can't say the same for you though, your last marriage ending is the only reason you came here to work as a nurse. Now, get out of my office...
