.
It is just three pm and I just finished the pile of files on my table,I leaned backward on my rocking chair.
"What a day!" I heaved a sigh of relief.
Immediately my phone beeped, I quickly picked it up, it is from Kelvin.
Let's watch movie together I will pick you up from office by 5:00pm.
I jumped up in adoration. No guy has ever asked me out on a date before.
' he is so lovely ' another part of me said.
"No! This is a contract marriage I can't let this happen"
I checked the time from the wall clock and it is 4:30pm
'Oh my gosh, he will soon be here I need to leave urgently '
I picked up my bag, I rushed to my secretary and gave her some instructions, I rushed to my chocolate car and drove off in haste.
I smiled as I rested my head on the floor beside the blue sea at the beach, "
"oh! what a relief"
No matter how hard I try Kelvins picture keeps appearing , maybe I should just dive into the river.
As soon as it was 6:00pm, I drove back to the office, Everyone has gone home so it was very quiet, I opened my office door and peeped into the darkness, I searched for the bulb switch and switched on the light. I sat on my chair happy and satisfied, I would leave for home as soon as it is 12:00 am.
For the main time I will watch video's on tiktok, Kelvin sent me a message (i can understand that you weren't able to make it, maybe another day)
" yap! Another day" I chuckled more like a laughter, I checked the time again then I realised that the sayings were right ' time wait for no man ' it was 12 am.
I picked up my bag and walked to my car, I greeted the security officer good night and drove to my home, " home sweet home" I mumbled, what is wrong with you Ivy that place will never! be your home.
I gently opened the gate and removed my shoes in order for my footsteps to not be heard. I phoned Cynthia to open the door since the doorbell would make noise.
"Welcome Miss Iv..."
"Shhh!" I beckoned onto her
"Is kelvin asleep" I whispered.
"Yes , Sir Kelvin is asleep"
"OK, thanks" I told her indirectly telling her that her job is done but it looked like she didn't get the message well.
"Should I bring your food" she asked me.
" I am not hungry thank you, you can leave" This time around I was more clearer, she turned and left.
" Finally " I sighed as I gently closed the door and tiptoed upstairs but I didn't go to my room without confirming that Kelvin was fast asleep before I left for my room.
(Kelvin's POV)
I am smiling as I am checking the social media, "It would soon be five pm, thirty minutes more " I mumbled out loud I guess enough for Brian to hear me.
"Guy you should rest it would soon be five" Brian says and he winked at me.
"Oh! stop that" I laughed.
" She would definitely be putting a makeover because of you now" he teased.
"I doubt she will do that" I replied.
"Yap! I am just kidding, she will probably be thinking of an escape plan from you now" he replied with his hands akimbo
"She won't do that if she does that ah!!" I gave an exaggerated gasp" she will break my heart into pieces."
"You better be ready to get broken" he winked
"Argh!! You are so annoying" I frowned.
"And that is why I love you"
"And I hate you, I am going to her office now to satisfy my curiosity and prove you wrong" I picked up my coat from the hanger and wore it.
"I would retire to my office" says Brian.
"Don't go oo, stay" I s sarcastically.
"Thanks, I will stay" he replied back.
" And be ready to see a sack letter on your desk tomorrow " I chuckled.
"You are too mean" he replied
"And that is for been mean to me a few minutes ago" I chuckled again
"Whatever!!" I heard him say as I walked out of my office.
As soon as I arrived I saw her running out so I hid behind a ruddy car and she drove off in her car.
gosh!! Brian was right.
I got out and walked to her secretary to inquired of her.
" She is holding a meeting with the share holders"she informed me without even asking so my doubts were confirmed.
...... (Later in the night)
I waited patiently for her arrival on my bed, I knew the maid would do as I told her, as soon as it was 12:14 pm she arrived and I quickly switched off my room light and looked through the window watching her tiptoe into the house, Not long I heard footsteps so I quickly laid down back on my bed, she checked on me and left.
Well what do I expect it's a contract marriage and I better start behaving like one.
***********
I woke up three am in the morning, I quickly took my bath and went to the kitchen I met Cynthia preparing breakfast so I hugged her from her back.
"Sorry for yesterday I was a bit mean"
"No need, I didn't mind" she replied.
"I would have loved to help you while cooking but I don't want Kelvin to wake up before I leave"
"No need I can do it alone but Miss Ivy, Mr Kelvin loves you I can see the affection in his eyes when he looks at you."
" whatever, I am going, I can't wait any longer" I said deliberately changing the topic. I waved at her as I left.
(Kelvin's POV)
I woke up byfive am in the morning, I walked downstairs to have my breakfast.
"What of Ivy" I asked.
" ivy has gone to work" she replied.
She should stop behaving like a ghost in her own house. I have decided to let go of every feeling of trying to make things right, the feelings of trying to be a better husband. I don't want to follow the footsteps of my dad. I guess I should start behaving like someone in a contractual marriage and give her the breathing space she craves for.
"OK thank you" I sat on my table and Cynthia served me my breakfast and I ate it silently
.I am not in the mood to go to work do I will just stay at home.
It was one in the afternoon but I did nothing than to stare at the wall clock, Brian kept calling but I ignored him so he came over.
"Dude, I have been trying to reach you, I hope all is well" he asked
"Does it look like all is well!!, Ivy has been ignoring me since yesterday"
"Is that why you are like this because of a woman. It's not like you even love her " he said with a snort.
"Well I don't want her to go through the same pains as my mother " I replied.
"I have to capture this scene" he brought out his phone and snapped me.
I stared at him and hissed" you are just useless"
"No I'm not because I have a solution" he replied me with a cute wink.
"What?"
" Fake a girlfriend" I paused and really thought about it.
I don't know if that is the best idea but I just want to make her feel a pang of jealousy maybe she will accept me as her husband and I could avoid my fathers footsteps.
"Stop day dreaming, your cheeks would soon burn out."
"I'm in, but how would we find a girl" I asked.
" I know somebody that does those kinds of work " he replied.
"When will she come" I asked.
"She can come now" he replied.
"OK time for action" we both chorused as we sprung to our feet.
