HER HUSBAND’S BOSS : EPISODE 21 – 30
EPISODE 22
By Mary Ann Adams
THAT SAME DAY.
New York.
*Chloe*
I locked the front door and made to entered my car to leave. Going out for work.
I need to write some new articles and stories. Am a journalist (just a quick reminder).
When I drove out, at the same time, a car drove towards mine an blocked me.
I groaned. Not this morning again!, I came out of my car and I wasn’t surprised when Scarlett came out wearing a long face.
“You bch!” She said as she walked towards me.
“Can we do this later, I got work. Thank you” I said dryly and made to enter my car but she was fast to touch me by my hand.
I quickly removed her hand from my body like it was a plague and looked at her angrily.
“Never in your life, I repeat, never touch me with that hand you uses to give my dad a hand job”
Scarlett looked pretty embarrassed as I said that but she was quick to cover it up with a scoff.
“Look who is talking…I am here for other things”
“We would talk later…but for now, I have work to do. Do I need to ring that in your ear or what?!” I rolled my eyes.
“You are going no where until we settle this”
“Settle what?, say whatever you want to say. I give you 5 minutes.”
“You ordered her right?”
“Ordered who?” I rolled my eyes.
“Don’t you dare act ignorant!, I know you aren’t happy I am getting married to your dad. But can you at least act mature and not do sensible stuffs”
“If I say I understand you, I would be lying” I said not knowing where this is heading.
“I know you planned to ruin my wedding” she said.
==+”Yeah, I wanted to but someone did that for me already” I said that inwardly and smirked.
“Scarlett.just let me be”
“You won’t like what is coming you if you try something like this again” she threatened.
I moved closer to her, really close..she blinks her eyes in fear.
“Why threaten me if you aren’t strong, uh? . Need I remind you what happened the last time you came here” she said as she tried to move away but have trapped her.
“The next time, you come here and threaten me or say shts…should I tell you what am going to do to you?” I smirked evilly and she nods her head negatively.
“I won’t tell you….I would show you. Just don’t appear here again else you are going to regret it!, now,get out” I said and then, she shifted away.
In a speed, Scarlett rushed into her car in fear. I smirked as she drove away immediately.
“Oh, am good” I told myself and grinned. I entered my car and on checking the time on my phone, I groaned.
“Damn, am late already!”
I ignited the car and drove off immediately.

*CAMILLE’S POV*
The plane ….
First thing I did when I woke up this morning was to leave. I had packed my things the previous day and arranged everything for my flight.
I just have to leave. First, am scared of Annie now and don’t want to see her around me for now.
Secondly, I need to return to my husband before he finds me.
I closed my eyes as I could feel the guy who was seated beside me in the plane staring at me.
I don’t know what to expect. But am sure, one thing is going to happen for sure. Am dead!.
Asher is going to kill me or probably ground me forever. Thinking about it now, maybe I shouldn’t have left the house in the first place.
My stay in L.A was really rough. From seeing Harry again, to discovering I am pregnant in an horribly way and having a miscarriage and kssing him, him saying hurtful words to me, me dreaming about Annie as the villain in my life and then finally, me leaving.
This wasn’t how I had planned it. I want to be away from Asher, yes. And that is because I want to experience a new and free life. I want to be happy even if it’s going to be for a short period.
Why can’t I be happy? Why is my life so unfortunate?
A year slipped off my eye before I could control myself. I opened my eyes and wiped it off and then looked beside me to see the guy still staring at me.
“Why the hell are you staring at me?!” I half yelled. His gaze on me is too intense. What the fk!.
He wasn’t expecting me to flare up and flinched. “Am sor..sorry, I was captivated by your beauty and couldn’t take my eyes off you. Why is a damsel like you crying?,”
I scoffed as I all i felt was irritation. This is what they do. Make innocent ladies fall for them with their sugar coated mouth and when she is deeply in love with them, they start misbehaving.
“Do you realize what you said just now make no sense” I rolled my eyes.
I was in a bad mood before and the guy just succeeded in ruining my mood more.
”Calm down, Cinderella. You seem to be in a bad mood…”
I cut him off. “Glad you realize that..”
“But don’t worry, I can make you happy”
“What is even wrong with you?!,” I scoffed. Am just going to ignore him.
“Babe, am smitten by you. Don’t be too harsh on me. Let talk like two mature adults”
I huffed and gave him a look of “really?”
“Am married” I finally said. I hope he is going to leave me alone after this but guess I was wrong.
He kept on ranting and complimenting me while I just ignored him by closing my eyes and shutting him out.

My joy knew no bound when the plane finally landed. At least I would be free from the creepy guy.
Leaving the airport, sadness sets in again. It was late in the evening already. After hours of journey, all I need right now is to sleep but first, Asher!
Oh God, help me.
I boarded a cab going to his house OUR house. My heart was beating heavily and I couldn’t think straight as the car moved.

30 minutes later.
“Ma’am, we are here!”
No response.
“Ma’am?”
No response.
“Ma’am!”
I flinched as the cab man called me more louder. I was deep in thoughts.
“Ye…yes?”
“We are here” he announced and I nodded.
I came outside with my luggages and breath in and out. Am finally here. Back to my fate.
Back to where I belong.
I paid the cab man and watched him drive away. Hesitating whether to go in or not, I played with my fingers as my heart beat loudly against my chest.
I finally summoned up courage after 20 minutes of standing on one spot.
Asher’s car wasn’t in the compound. He would still be at work. At least, that is a relief.
I walked to the front pouch and saw the door wasn’t locked from outside.
I tried opening it but I guessed it was locked from inside and that means one thing.
ASHER IS HOME.
What to do? What to do?!
I raised my hand to knock but I just couldn’t. My hands were shaking.
Why is he home? Maybe his car broke down and he couldn’t bring it home.
Or?
Gosh, I don’t know.
I took a deep breath and finally knocked.
No reply.
I knocked again and this time around, the door opened to reveal a lady.
She looked at me scornfully as she stared at me from head to toe.
She have a long curly brown hair. Big doe eye and an oval face. She looked beautiful but who is she?
My gaze moved to her body and I could recognize the shirt she was putting on as Asher’s.
I moved my eyes further to see her wearing my short. Bump short and the fk! It is is mine and on her feet is my flip flop slippers.
I looked back at her and she was glaring really hard at me.
I opened my mouth to talk but she beat me to it.
“Excuse me, who are you?” She asked eyeing me.
