Melanie

The beautiful blue eyed lady strides in confidently, downright ignoring Benji and I as if we aren't even standing right there in her line of sight.

The ugly man enters the office, and the door closes behind him. He too ignores our presence and goes straight after the lady.

The raven head looks over her shoulder, shooting the ugly man a look that says, 'Johnny you've tried my last nerve and I'm probably thinking about hundred different ways that I could dispose your body'. The ugly man not getting the hint, follows her, blabbering God knows what. The lady crosses the room and takes a seat on Benji's million-dollar couch.

The hideous man goes to take a seat beside the pretty lady, but the lady raises up her right hand, halting his movements. She further points with her index finger to the single armchair across from her. The man's eyes go impossibly bigger as if he can't believe the lady asked him to sit somewhere else. He keeps gawking at her like she just asked him to sign the divorce papers and refused him the joint custody of their kids.

The man stubbornly refuses to comply to lady's wishes. Instead, he bravely takes a seat right next to her leaving infinitesimal space between them. The blue in the pretty lady's eyes suddenly seem darker. The self-obsessed man doesn't take notice of this. The lady closes her eyes, I see her shoulders raising up and down as she takes huge gulp of air in, probably trying to calm the storm that's brewing inside of her because of this insignificant man, who's now busy in fixing his already perfect hair.

It's three minutes later, when the lady opens up her eyes, revealing the clear blue irises.

The ugly man looks at the lady with smile that holds the power to charm any creature he wants. The strong lady obviously doesn't even bat an eye at that angelic smile, making the man's thousand-watt smile to die down to zero watt.

When the man still refuses to move, the lady rummages through her bag. She pulls out a phone and only then I notice the colorful bracelets on her wrist. It's also when I spot the similar bracelets on the man's right wrist.

The woman dials a number and puts it on speaker mode, and we listen to it ring.

Benji walks up to me before standing right beside me. We both watch the scene unfolding in front of us.

"Who is she calling?" I ask in whisper, dying to know who she could be calling.

"How would I know Mel?" Benji whispers back to me, irritated.

We both watch intrigued as the call is picked up after fourth ring.

"Hello, my second favorite daughter in law." Another lady's voice rings through. "How are you doing this fine afternoon?"

"Of freaking course, she calls his mother." Benji mutters under his breath.

"That's his mum?" I ask in whisper.

Benji nods.

The ugly man's eyes go extremely wide, and he immediately jumps away from the lady in fright. He creates as much distance as he could from the cellular device. He stares at the device as if it's a ticking bomb. His wide gray eyes keep shifting between the phone and the lady holding that phone.

"Hello my favorite mother-in-law." Maddy speaks with a cheery tone, the annoyance from her face wiping out as soon as she heard the other lady's voice.

Mother-in-law?
