I go back to the accounting office. I sit at my desk for a bit, then meander around looking for something to do. Andrew returns looking angry. I try to make myself look busy hoping to ignore him. An hour before the day ends Andrew leaves and I exhale a sigh of relief.

Walking around the office again, I overhear a conversation between Becca and another female accountant. “I can’t believe the CEE was here today.” The accountant, Vicky, says. “He never comes here. I have only seen him twice, and I’ve worked here for five years. Both times were walking into the building, he has never come to accounting.”

“He’s so handsome,” Becca says.

I smile, my husband is handsome. “You don’t want anything to do with him. Rumor mill says he is married, but he cheats on his wife constantly. She’s so humiliated, she never leaves their house.” Vicky replies.

I leave the house. And yes, Max wasn’t invested at the beginning, but he is now. Annoyed, I tell them, “Wasn’t he off a week last month to celebrate

  • His Wife   Chapter 97

    MaxAfter my talk with Ellie last week, I hired someone to investigate her mother. Just as I feared the Ellie’s father wrote a letter to get Candice out of jail. On Friday after taking Ellie to work, I go by to see her dad. I told her it was for my appointment, but really it’s so I can speak with him alone.I go alone, but plan to record the conversation incase he says something incriminating. Walking in I find him watching TV. “Max, does this mean Ellie is done with her little tantrum.”“Candice is working. Did she tell you?”“I know she’s working.” Ellie’s father states. I can hear the anger in his voice.“Though I find it strange that the money she is making is all going towards Ronald’s bail. Does she not owe you back child support for the years she neglected your family?” I asked crossing my arms.“What do you know?” He spats with venom.“I know a great deal more than you want me to know.” I tell him. “You willing risk your relationship with your daughter for a woman that threw y

    “Are you sure you want me to go to work today? I don’t mind calling in sick. I think the CEE will excuse me.” I say.“Ellie, I’m fine. I’m working from home today. If you are here fussing over me, I won’t get anything done. Go to work, I will manage.”I sigh, “Fine. I left you breakfast and lunch in the fridge, eat it when you get hungry.”Max nods, “I will.”“Call me if you need anything,” I say after kissing his cheek.I go to work, but all day, I worry about Max. During lunch I call and speak with him. He teases me about smothering him.It felt different taking care of Max. He followed directions and rarely put up a fight when I suggested walking. Even after having surgery on such a delicate area, he didn’t complain much.As I’m leaving work, I get a call from my brother. I guess he finally heard about my fight with our dad. “Why aren’t you visiting Dad?” James demands.“Because he wants me to drop the charges against Candince and said I’m the reason she keeps relapsing,” I tell hi

    Last night, Max tossed and turned, I could tell he struggled to sleep. I know he is nervous about today. After getting checked in and changing, I hold Max’s hand while we wait. Max stares at me for a moment, then says, “Not right away, but in another year or two, please give me a child. Just one is fine. I think this is something I need. We can use surrogacy and I can get a nanny if you want.”I turn to fully face him, “I’m not taking care of my father now. Give me a year or two and I will give you as many as my body will allow.”Max lets out a shaky breath, “Thank you.” I could swear there are tears in his eyes when he looked away.The surgeon, doctor, and anesthesiologist all speak to us before taking Max back. Before pulling him away, they give Max some medicine through his IV. I kiss his forehead as they ready the bed to wheel away. “I’ll be here when you wake up.” I tell him squeezing his hand one last time.As they leave I hear him tell the porter, “Make sure to tell the doctor

    The next day, Max and Tom release a press statement regarding Julianna and Vivienne. I’m not sure what Max’s lawyers did, but all media outlets that ran Vivienne’s story deleted them and used Max’s.During his lunch break, I accompany Max to his pre-op appointment. They do some blood work, and we talk with a doctor. The doctor explains that since this is a little more invasive, Max should go completely under anesthesia, and we shouldn’t have sex for at least two weeks. He goes over the risks, then says he wants to do a sperm analysis at the ninety-day mark. We both agree.On Thursday, I discovered that Andrew had been put on administrative leave. He won’t be back for some time.During lunch, I go to Max’s office. We eat together and have a nice chat. Then finish out the workday before going home.Max drives says he will drive us home, but instead, we see my father. He was released from the hospital today. We had a pleasant visit. At some point, Max steps outside and speaks with a nurs

    MaxI go to the accounting office, fifteen minutes after Ellie is supposed to start her day. Walking, I say to Andrew, “How are the interns?”Andrew smiles nervously, “They are fine.”“What do you have them doing?” I asked. Looking around, I say, “I would like to interview them.”“Of course. May I ask why?” Andrew asked, holding his fake smile.“Working here is an amazing opportunity for them. I want to know what they have learned. Take me around and introduce me.”“Sure,” Andrew says. He shows me two of the interns.Looking around, I say, “Where is the third intern?”“Oh, her. She volunteered to get everyone coffee. She should be back any minute.”“She volunteered to get coffee, and you let her? She’s using company time. This intern should be learning.”Andrew nods, “I will fire her the moment she returns.”“Fire?” I asked. “You don’t have the authority to fire anyone. We have a coffee machine in the department.” Crossing my arms, I say, “I’ve watched an intern go get coffee for the
