The next day they both went to the company as usual.
At lunch Ariana called Emily, âHey bestie.â They talked a lot over the phone but they havenât seen each other for a long time.
Emily has a tight schedule and usually on business trips. Ariana has been unavailable ever since her marriage. Michael hardly want to let her out of sight for a second.
âHey honey, are you okay? You rarely call at this time of the day.
Ariana chuckled, âYou do know me best.â
âBut of course...â Emily stopped for a while pouting as if Ariana could see her. Then she continued, â... even though Mr. Matthews have taken you away from me. I am so jealous.â
Emily is a child by heart. Ariana find her amusing, âDonât say that, you will always be my first love.â Ariana knew how to calm her.
âOkay, I can accept that.â She chuckled and felt much better. âWe havenât gone out for a long time. I miss you Ariana.â
Just what Ariana needs to hear, âAre you free tonight? Let us go out tonight.â
âThatâs my girl. I have a meeting in few minutes but I will be off early. So about 7?â
âYes, sounds good. I will send you the address later.â Ariana was happy, she is looking forward to seeing her bestfriend she now considered a sister.
âOkay, I will hang up now.â The call was released and they went back to work.
The day flew by. Ariana had invited June and Kevin to come along.
Michael had already left for his mother. She didnât see him before he left but he did called her.
...
Michael left in the afternoon so he got to Cold Spring City a little over three oâclock.
He pulled up into his parentsâ driveway and got out of the car. He had no intentions of staying too long. He would prefer being home with his wife than listening to his mother forcing him into a marriage he did not ask for.
He stepped into the house where he was greeted by the maid. He nodded in response.
He heard laughter coming from the living room, âYou grew into a lovely woman. My son should be grateful to you as his wife.â
He cursed inwardly, âI knew my mother wouldnât call for me for nothing.â
He entered the living room and greet his parents, âMom, Dad.â Mrs. Matthews got up to hug his son.
âI havenât seen you for so long and yet you are not happy to see your parents. You are lucky Samantha wants to marry a cold man like you.â
âAuntie, Mickey is only cold on the surface so I donât mind.â Samantha did not mind because she believes that one day he will be hers.
Mrs. Matthews smiled at her, âMichael do you see how sensible your fiancée is?â Mr. Matthews havenât said anything as yet.
Michael did not make any comment on it because he already knew who his wife is. âSammy, I didnât expect to find you here. You were just in Westron yesterday.â
Samantha fidget with her hemline, âI came her to look for auntie and uncle for the day. I didnât expect you to be here.â
She knew he will come. After she left the office yesterday, she call Mrs. Matthews and advised her that there is an employee trying to seduce Michael and now he is neglecting her.
Mrs. Matthews is impulsive so she would call Michael to push him into the marriage as soon as possible.
She is not willing to give him up to no other woman. The only woman might stand a chance is her twin sister because he was originally hers. She would be reluctant but she would do it for her as an apology of their sisterly separation.
âSon can you come to my study room? I want to have a chat with you.â Mr. Matthews finally speak.
âSure dad.â He kissed his mother cheeks and walked to the study room leaving Samantha and his mother.
In the Study Room After Michael ensure the door is closed, he walked to the couch and sat down. The room was sound proof once the door is shut.
âSon, do you think it is really her?â His father looked at him with lazy eyes.
âYes father but I am not hundred percentage sure.â Michael needed more proof to verify. There are simpler ways to do this but he did not want to alarm the enemy when he is not sure all who is involved.
Darling, only I can be your man ï¤chapter 28 Love My Friends with Benefits ï¤Chapter 62: The Security Footage Boss's Sweet Secretary ï¤Chapter 72: A Last-Minute Business Trip âWell, you have to be careful and keep her safe. Samantha will not be an intentional harm but the Miller family cannot know about it as yet.â Mr.
Matthews was deep in thoughts and had an unreadable expression.
âI know father, I will keep her safe until this problem can be solved.â Michael already have a plan.
At this time, there was a knock at the door and there came Mrs. Matthews voice âDinner is ready.â
