Be My Wifey Or Lose Your Job

Diana stepped out of her office, locking the door behind her.

She turned and almost freaked out when she saw a figure behind her but then calmed when she realized it was Lewis.

“Mr Lewis,”she breathed out, holding her chest in relief.

“Hi there, miss Diana. Have you heard anything from your friend?”he asked. He looked worried. Diana wondered why.

“My friend as in Janelle you mean?”

“Yes.”he nodded.

“Well, nope. She left work some hours ago… so long.”

“You… you mean you haven’t heard anything at all from her??”Lewis was concerned.

“Yeah, why are you bent on *hearing anything from her* part”she asked.

“Well, nothing. Anyways, you must have a lot of work at hand for you to be closing this late.”

“It’s obvious.”Diana sighed.

“Alright, bye.”Lewis says and instead of turning and walking away, he stood there.

“I’ll leave first. Bye”Diana gave a small smile before walking away.

Next day.

A message coming in on Diana’s phone, woke her up.

She groaned and drew the pillow more nearer to herself.

She tried getting back to sleep.

Another message came in.

She grunted before rising up and grabbing the phone, she unlocked it and two messages appeared on the screen.

One was from Ren, the other one from Opera news.

She tapped on the one from Ren.

*Let’s meet. Please. Tonight, 8:00pm at the restaurant in your street. Will be waiting*he texted. She hissed loudly.

She clicked on the one from Opera news.

*Wife of Mr McFarland, Mrs McFarland said to have been rushed out to an hospital during one of the most billionaire man in the city birthday*

A bell rang in Diana’s head.

Janelle…. Janelle. What happened to her???

No….

She stared at the photo of George carrying her and running out of the building.

What???..

Her mind slipped to the other night… did Lewis know about it?.

Is that why he was asking her if she’s heard anything from her??

He knows and he didn’t deem it fit to tell her??.

She sprang up and went to take her bath

Janelle back rested on the wall of the word. Her eyes closed.

Since George left last night after she asked him if he tried poisoning her, he hasn’t come back.

He must be pretty hurt. She can’t blame him tho. She really can’t.

She was feeling guilty deeply.. so deep.

Why did she have to say that to him, hun?.

Why was so much of a bitch to have think her husband will try to poison her??.

Oh…

The door opened and someone barged in.

Thinking it was George and happy, she quickly opened her eyes.

“Janelle!!”the pretty lady called and came to hug her.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Although, she was disappointed that it wasn’t George but she was happy to see her there.

Janelle smiled.

“You’re not at work?”she asked Diana as she released the hug.

“Work?, after hearing what happened to you…. you think I will go to work?. Oh my, Janelle. I was damn worried. Thank God you’re fine, baby.”she embraced her again.

“Thanks for caring”Janelle replied.

They disengaged from the hug and Diana sat down beside her.

“How are you now, okay?”

“Yeah, better”

“That’s good to hear. So, what happened?”

“I was poisoned”she sighed.

Diana looked shocked.

“Wait… what??”she scoffed.

“H… how .. how is that possible?”

“Well, it seems almost impossible but then it did happened, making it possible”

“Wow. Th… this is shocking. I… I mean who could have done that??…”Diana stuttered.

“I wish I know”Janelle breathed out a sigh.

“Owww… sorry, dear. Don’t worry, the culprit will soon be caught.”Diana cajoled.

“I feel like the most stupid lady on earth. Do you know I asked George if he was the one that poisoned me?”

Diana was speechless.

“You did?”

“Yes. That’s how stupid I can be. He hasn’t been here since last night when I told him. ‘

“Don’t…. don’t blame yourself, okay??. George is not like that, he might just be.. uhm… well, I’m just sure he will come around.”

They both chatted for some minutes.

Their conversation came to an end when the door opened and George stepped inside with a bag.

Janelle’s face beamed.

“Hi, George”Diana waved.

“Oh, hey, hi, Diana.”he smiled.

Diana stood up.

“Make things right, Jan”she whispers and pecked her both cheeks.

Janelle nodded just like a little girl that has been instructed what to do would do.

“Huh?, I hope you’re not leaving because…..”

“Of course not. I’ve been here for quite a while now and I should give you guys some space. Bye.”Diana offered a smile any other kind last would offer and left.

George walked to the chair beside the bed and sat down.

“So, how are you?”

“Well, couldn’t be more better”she grinned.

He looked at her and quickly took his eyes away.

The room was silent with no words from each side.

“Are you suddenly shy?”Janelle asked looking at George.

He also looked at her and laughed.

“Shy?”he scoffed.

“Well, yeah. You aren’t saying anything… since you’ve entered”

“Maybe because I have a lot going on in my mind. Kinda busy.”

Janelle took her eyes away from him.

“And, that’s a first.”

“First?”he enquired.

“Yeah. First time you will be telling me you’re busy and it feels kinda new”

“Maybe because you’ve been the one always giving out excuses to me”he says.

Janelle looked back at him.

“Of course, I know, I’ve been really unfair. I… I’m just a coward. I… I even accused you of poisoning my drink”

“Maybe I’m at fault. If I’d taken the drink from you, this won’t have happened. I shouldn’t have let you drank the drink.”

“As if you know it would be poisoned”she scoffed.

“Anyways, I’m… I’m glad you didn’t drink it but I did instead. At least, at least, I saved you also”she grinned at him and seeing her grin, he couldn’t help but grin also.

“Come.. sit beside me, please”she tapped the space beside her.

He came to sit and she rested her head on his shoulder.

“I will make things right, George. I’m sorry for being a bad wife. And, thank you for being a good husband”

“Thank you for being a good wife also”

“No, a bad wife, but I promise now to be a good one from now on..”

He nodded.

She looked up at his face.

“I really thought you won’t come back. I even cried a lot in the midnight”

George was speechless.

“Is it right to kiss you?, in this state?”

“I don’t think so, but, I think we really should”she giggled.

George claims her lips immediately.
