My Sarcastic Arranged Wife

Chapter 18

EROS' POV

After our argument, Evelyn rushed upstairs into her room. I wanted to follow her immediately but my legs could not move. After a while I went upstairs. when I got to her room door I hesitated, I contemplated entering inside to meet her and apologize for my behavior earlier. As I got close to the door I could hear her sobs and honestly I didn't know how to console a crying girl not to talk of a girl that I am the cause of her cries so I went to my room instead.

I layed on my bed and I couldn't sleep.
My thoughts kept wondering into I and Evelyn's argument earlier and I had a nagging thought that actually she might have gone to see that guy we met at our wedding so there was not any need for me to feel guilty or bad about what I said to her. Just then I heard her room door open and it seemed like she walked out and went downstairs, I guess she couldn't sleep either. After a few minutes I heard her footsteps coming upstairs so I decided to focus my mind on the sound of her steps.  From the sound of her steps I started to imagine her and  just like that I didn't know when I slept off.

I heard the sound of the doorbell so I woke up and checked the time and it was 6:30am. I went downstairs to open the door for Mrs Teresa because she is the only one that could be at the door at that time. Once I opened the door for her I went up to have my bath and prepare for work. But before going into my room I tip toed into Evelyn's room and opened her door slightly to see that she was soundly asleep before I left for mine.

After preparing I came downstairs to have my breakfast and I still didn't see Evelyn so I guessed she was avoiding me because it's already 8:00am so she should be awake by now and prepare for college since she has classes today. I ate the breakfast made by Mrs Teresa and I asked her if she has seen Evelyn but she said no. After the breakfast Mrs Teresa asked if she could join me so that I would drop her off on the way I agreed.

I got to work, entered our building and as usual I met the receptionist girl eyeing me while pushing her cleavage upwards, she does that every fucking damn time. It is high time I looked into this girl and have her fired I thought to myself. This is why I hate women. They are either shameless, gold diggers or just mere sluts except for my mother of course. I went into the elevator and pressed for the 60th floor because that's my floor and the last floor of our building too.

Once I entered my office my assistant came and read my schedule for the day which has always been our daily routine. She equally served me my coffee which is plain black no sugar or cream my favorite. I took out the files for the small companies that we are looking to invest in. Apart from being a construction company we equally invest in other companies and split up their profits depending on the ratio stated in the contract.

After working about 3 hours I heard a knock at my door, I told the person to come in and my father walked in. I was a little bit surprised because I wasn't expecting him.

"Good day son" How are you doing and how is work?" My dad asked me.

"As you can see for yourself everything is in good shape" I replied him.

"Hmmm I can see that, any issues or problems you have encountered so far?" he asked me sounding a little bit concerned.

"If there was, you would have heard it from the board of directors first " I told him.

"That's true" he said laughing. "You wouldn't blame them though, everyone is looking out for their money" he completed.

"So dad what brought you here?" I asked him

"I came to check on you and probably have lunch together since it is already lunch time. Do you still have much to do? I could wait for you to round up" he said to me.

"No its fine we can go ahead I will finish up after lunch" I told him.

I stood up and we left for lunch. I drove together with my dad so that we could have small talks on the way while my dad's driver drove behind us. We got to the restaurant and ordered for lunch. Our food came so we dug in and started eating.

"How is married life so far?" my dad asked out of the blues and I choked a little .

Just then I remembered the argument I heard with Evelyn and she avoiding me which is just my guess though.

"It's been fine and smooth so far" I replied him coughing out a bit to release my throat after my choking incident.

"And Evelyn hope you are taking care of her because she is indeed a good girl and the best you can ever find" he continued

"Yes I am" I said to him. Eventhough that isn't actually all true but he wouldn't know right.

We finished our lunch and we headed our separate ways. On my way back to work I couldn't stop thinking about Evelyn. All morning I was so focused on work that I forgot about her but my dad just have to ask about her. Just when I am about to move on from thoughts about her the universe has to act otherwise.

I got to work but by then I have already lost focus. I could not concentrate and her sad face from last night kept popping up in my head. For the last 3 hours I could not get any work done so I decided to go home, get a Little rest and probably have a talk with Evelyn. Maybe after the talk all thought about her would vanish and I might be able to get back to my workaholic self.

I got home around 6pm and punched in our house code. As soon as I entered I saw a figure which hurriedly fled up the stairs. I walked into the dining and saw Mrs Teresa cleaning up, it seemed they just finished eating.

"What was that about?" I asked her.
"Wasn't that Evenlyn?" I continued with the question.

"I should be asking you that, why would she see you and run up" she asked me instead.

Well this means that she is officially ignoring me. Great, just great and there goes the talk I wanted to have with her today. I was still exhausted eventhough I didn't do much. I asked Mrs Teresa to just serve me dinner so that I can have it before going up to freshen up.

Besides there is still time I could still have the talk with her later in the night I thought to myself. It's not like she can avoid me forever.

Mrs Teresa served me the dinner. It was really tasty and it reminded me of the time that Evelyn used to cook and serve dinner for I and my parents. Her dishes were always delicious and it tasted great. Just then a thought crossed my mind, maybe it might have been a bad idea leaving my parents house. We  could have gotten closer if we were still at my parents because we would be together almost every time both in the room and in the dining.

Immediately a thought came to my mind. If Evelyn continues to avoid me for the rest of the week then we will have to go to my parents place for the weekend because there she wouldn't have a chance to avoid me. I smiled to myself and happily finished my dinner as the thought crossed my mind.
