Secret admirer

The news of Tristan's new girlfriend had spread  over the whole city and every media house was reporting it.

It was the first thing I saw this morning when I woke  up and I didn’t know exactly how to feel .

That morning when I stepped into the famous company that my ex husband and I had built, all I could hear were whispers.

As I walked , I could feel the  stares  the workers gave me and with every greeting I got ,the mockery was in it , I was being humiliated in this company .

“Why does she have to show her face here? She has  no shame” I heard one of the girls whisper as I walked past and that was it , I halted.

 I looked at the girl , she was a brunette girl and dressed in a way that her boobs could be seen . 

“ Come closer”  I commanded in a dangerous tone .

The way her eyes twitched when I turned to her  showed how scared she was , I wasn’t here for games .

 I felt the whole floor completely go silent and all that I could feel were their gaze on me , I knew they were wondering what I was going to do .

The girl moved closer  to me and lowered her head .

“I’m sorry ma’m”she begged seeing how serious I was .

“ You are fired, effective immediately" I told her and turned towards the elevator .

But before I could get in , I turned  to look at all of them and the girl that had tears in her eyes .

“I might be the wicked bitch you think I am, I have as much  shares as  my  ex husband in this company and I  call the shots like him too .

If I hear one more disrespectful whisper , you will have to drop your if  and get your disgusting face off my company.

I walked into the elevator the moment I was done talking , as the elevator closed the  only thing I could see were their judgment faces , I knew they were  going to judge me too but I could care less .

Once I got into  my office , which had been neatly  arranged by my pa , I smiled  as I looked at the office that both Tristan and I both shared and right now it was divers with a glass .

From my part , I could see whatever was going on in his and he made it so .

I knew he wanted me to see what he was going to be doing with  Lelia but I don’t care .

******

Lelia burst into my office without knocking , her eyes were bloodshot , it showed how angry she was .

The top she wore was slightly open and the perfume that laced over her was that of my ex husband. She wanted to get on my nerves .

I had been  waiting for her and she did arrive .

Ma, she was adamant on coming in , I begged her not to “ Rissa my personal assistant told me .

I waved my hands at her asking her to leave as I turned  to look at the bitch .

“ What right do you have to fire Lola , I brought her into this company, not you”she barked at me angrily .

“ There’s nothing  you can do about it Lelia” I  replied while going through my files without paying her any attention.

“You psychotic bitch ,look at me when  I  talk  to you”she screamed loudly  as she grabbed the pen in my hands and threw it away .

The instant rage I felt at that moment to grab her hair and rip them apart , but no , I wasn’t going to stoop to her level .

I slowly raised up my head and then our eyes met.

“I see why Tristan was so adamant on divorcing you , you are nothing but an empty vessel and nothing good comes out from you .

“ The  seven years you spent with him , what did you do , you were a fucking waste, A  barren woman.  and couldn’t give him children .

Watch me Solane  , watch me give him the children you never could, Tristian had been mine and he will always be .

At that moment Tristian dashed into the office 

The moment he got in , our eyes locked for the first time after our divorce and I looked away .

He whispered something into her ears and then she looked at me and then walked out of the office and that was when he turned to me .

“‘What do you want Solane  ?” 

Tristan's voice felt cold and intimidating and his looks didn’t make it any better .

All I could get were flashbacks of how he talked to me in those  low voices that would make me wet but not anymore , all that I felt right now was disgust .

“Why don’t you just sell your shares and get the hell out of my company .

You hate me and I do hate you with my life , seeing your face from the glass  each gives me unhinged memories that I don’t want to see .

You sell your shares and leave my life but I promise you , if you aren’t going to , I promise to make your days in this company hell and I mean  it .

I slowly walked to where Tristan was and then I stopped .

You tell your bitch to mind her steps , I put in more effort  to this company as much as you did and if you think I’m going to let it go just like that.

“Be ready to watch me everyday because I’m not leaving “ I replied but as I walked back to my seat and sat down .

The questioning look he had on his face was exactly what I wanted at this moment .

Tristan looked at me and then walked out of my office .

The moment he went out , I watched him hug Lelia and gently let her lay on the couch , the same couch we made  love in .

Swallowing the lump on my throat, I looked away  and that was when I got the last text I didn’t expect and it was from a private number .

MEET ME FOR DINNER BY 9PM
