CHAPTER TEN             

Her Life as His Wife

November 14, 2011. Monday. She was still not feeling too well when Geoffrey woke up at around six o’clock in the morning. She readied his business suit. He took a shower, dressed up then ate breakfast. They ate breakfast together. She didn’t take a shower yet, she just wore the matching robe over her knickers set as she assisted him.

He noticed her lack of enthusiasm. After the breakfast when he was about to leave he asked thoughtfully, “Shall we see a doctor? You don’t look fine.”

“I just need more rest. I’ll be fine,” she assured him.

“Okay. Then take all the rest you wanted. I have to go now,” he kissed her lips.

She responded to it as if she didn’t want him to leave. But she eventually let go, “Take care.”

“I will,” he uttered and then he left.

She returned to their bedroom. She decided to take a shower. She felt like she needed a full body massage. She made several phone calls when she was dressed up already in a white classic shirt, black skinny jeans and white loafers. She wore a pair of small stud clear diamond earrings, the wedding ring and a casual wristwatch. She had a lunch meeting with her agent. She also had a 2:00 PM appointment at the spa. She contacted the spa she had been frequenting in Wallori City. They had a branch in Gobol City. She was referred to the branch. She had a VIP card membership on such spa.

Geoffrey’s secretary arrived late in the morning. She had signed the necessary papers the secretary brought for her to sign.

She called Geoffrey before she left the penthouse.

“Yes, honey,” he had answered.

“I have a lunch meeting with my agent then I have an appointment in the afternoon at the spa. Your secretary just left,” she informed him.

“Okay,” he acknowledged it. “I miss you.”

“I miss you too,” she replied. “See you later. Bye.”

“Bye,” he uttered.

Leianne met with her agent at the branch of Comida Buena in Gobol City. They occupied a private dining room and discussed her book tour  for the following year and her fourth storybook.

After the meeting, she went to the spa. She had facial, waxing, full body massage, manicure and pedicure. She felt rejuvenated after her visit to the spa. By the time she arrived at the penthouse, Geoffrey was already there. He was in the study room reading some reports. She went to the study room to greet him.

She massaged his tired shoulders as she approached him. “You look so worn out. Any problem?”

He pulled her and let her sit by his lap. He kissed her lips with so much warmth and passion. “I just miss you so much.”

She asked him again, “Are you sure there is no problem?”

He told her then, “Your father went to see me at my office this afternoon.”

She asked, “What for?”

He answered, “He wanted me to drop the charges against your uncle.”

She asked him further, “What did you say?”

He stated, “I stood my ground.”

She fished for more, “And then?”

He told her the truth, “He threatened me about ruining you.”
