Mummy I got you a new husband

SOPHIE’S POV

” Imagine the audacity, I wonder who she is,” I mumbled as I watched with a mixture of disbelief and curiosity as Karl took her into his office.

She was so rude and audacious, the audacity she displayed was staggering, leaving me wondering who she really was. It took all my self-control not to react impulsively and give her a piece of my mind. Instead, I chose to remain composed and collected, even though I felt like hitting her. I determined to uncover the truth behind her boldness as Karl walked with her into his office.

As the door closed behind Karl and the audacious woman, my mind raced with questions. Who was she? What business did she have with him? I couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease that settled deep within me. With a quick glance around, ensuring no one was watching, I discreetly made my way to Karl’s office door. I pressed my ear against it, hoping to catch any snippets of their conversation that could unravel her true identity.

However, their voices were muffled and indistinct, making it impossible for me to decipher their words. I sighed in frustratiom, unsure about what to do. Undeterred, I retreated quietly and decided to take matters into my own hands. I knew Karl wasn’t going to disclose the truth about this audacious woman, so I had to find out on my own who she was.

Determination burned within me as I set off on my mission. I pressed my ears against the wall again nd it seemed they were conversimg in loud tones as I heard them.

At first I could not decifer the words but I soon was able to figure out what they were talking about. Karl was telling her how he could not fall for me because I was a lowlife.

” What did that even mean?” I muttered as I leaned to listen further, hearing how Karl explained our relationship to her, piqued my curiosity like no other, and nothing was going to stop me from uncovering what she was about.

I stood there for a while. I soon connected the dots figuring out she was probably one of Karl’s aquitances, Karl did not seem like the type who would cheat on Claire since he fancied her so much, but I guess one could not trust men so much.

“No wonder she was so confrontational.” I whispered to myself as I sighed deeply. Realising the connection between them made me wonder if truly Claire had left as he had said or that they were just stories he made up, so everyone that heard would blame her instead. And just I was about to leave the door I heard loud moans out the room.

” Is that moans? I questioned unsure of what I just heard, I stood bewildered, frozen in disbelief not wanting to believe Karl could stoop so low as to have sex with someone at the office.

Standing there, I listened further, wanting to not be mistaken as I listened to the unmistakable sounds of passion emanating from the room. “How could Karl betray me like this? Is that the reason he was acting so weird and did not want me to come?” I questioned? My heart sank as anger swirled inside me, it seemed disgusting, hearing them having sex at the office.

“How could you, Karl?” I shouted, my words echoing through the room. I soon realized and lowered my voice. They seemed so engrossed in the moment and did not even hear me.

I walked back to my seat furious about what I just heard, I sighed repeatedly unable to concentrate on the files I was supposed to work on. ” Is this what he does at the office?” I queried. “He was cheap afterall, why would I expect anything different.” I whispered as I stared into space.

Soon, Karl called via telecom asking me to get a bottle of wine, it seemed the wine at his office was exhausted.” Do they want to have a party there too?” I asked as I groaned deeply. I got up and hurried to get some wine as he requested.

” Excuse me sir. I was able to get a bottle.” I said as soon as I arrived after getting the wine from the nearby stall. ” Come on in, I would have to ask Max to refill the shelves with some wine later today.” He added talking to the lady about his plans to have the wine in the office refilled and I opened the door and went in.

The room was dimly lit, the air heavy with the scent of betrayal. And there they were, tangled in each other’s arms on the office couch. Anger consumed me as I walked towards them, ” Pour some wine into the glasses.” He said as I approached them, asking me to serve the wine and turned to kiss the lady right before my very eyes.

” He has no shame!!” I thought to myself as I watched them kiss over and over again, irritated by everything going on, I decided i was not going to serve the wine.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

” Why should I serve the wine?” I questioned him as I looked at him with a curious expression. “What do you mean by that?”The lady enquired, turning to Karl, “I told you she was nasty, but you did not believe me.” She added, apparently enraged by what I had just said. I knew she despised my guts, and I despised her arrogance, so I suppose we were even.

Karl turned to her and asked her to calm down while he dealt with the situation, before turning to me and speaking quietly. “You should serve the wine since I asked you to.

” Well, that is not enough reason.” I replied, “I am here to attend to files, not to you and your sluts.” I whispered to myself afterwards.

“I am assuming you still want this job; if I were you I would do as I am told right now.” He continued, and as I looked into his face, it was clear that he was serious about what he had just said. I wanted this job, and I needed to teach Ryan a lesson. I gazed at him for a moment and poured the wine afterwards, I turned to go, upset about everything that had happened.

” You should get the files across to me, the one with the contract signed, remember?” He enquired as I turned to leave. “Okay,” I said, “I figured you would get it like you did with her.” I whispered quietly as I walked out of the room.

I delivered the files to him, clearly irritated by what had happened. The lady soon left, and Karl came out the door to see her leave. “Are you angry? He asked me after noticing my composure after she left.

“Am not,” I replied, faking a grin. “I have no reason to, right?” I added as I focused on my computer. “It’s fine then, because you should not be, you are a contract wife nothing else.” He said as he left.

” Stupid stupid stupid Karl, I hate you.” I muttered as I slammed the table many times after he left so furious that I could not contain my emotions.
