Nick was at home, he had taken a break from the office. He wanted to stay at home and relax. He was surprised to see that Kate was at home with him too. He had wanted her to go out like she usually does.
“ I want to ask for a favor from you” Kate sat opposite him, she said.
He looked at her surprised, “. What is it?” He asked her.
“ I want a space in your company, I want to start working”
He laughed when he heard her saying it. She began to wonder what was funny with her statement.
“ Are you being serious right now?” She asked him.
“ Of course, do not look at me like that, I want a space in your company and you have to give it to me” she commanded.
Nick's smile turned into a frown. She must be joking.
“ For what reasons, do I pay for everything? I give you any amount of money you need, why do I have to be seeing you at the office?” His face turned into a serious frown.
She began to laugh at him.
“ I want to come there every day”
He thought about the times that Jane would come to his office and they would both have fun. He can not let that go.
“ You must be joking. I am not approving such nonsense” he stood up from the bed and went out. He called up Jane. He asked to meet her.
He went back to the house and put on his clothes.
“ Where are you going, I thought you already called the office that you would not be coming today?” She asked him.
He stood in front of her, buttoning up his clothes. He ignored her as he picked up his car keys. Kate went to the door.
“ I asked you a question,” she shouted.
“ Get out of my way, you do not have who you go to, I think you should do a visit there” he shouted back as he pushed her from the door.
Kate began to cry. She sat on the ground as she let the tears roll down her face.
Nick got to the hotel room. He opened the door and saw Jane on the bed. He smiled at her. She jumped on him and kissed him.
“ I miss you so much,” she giggled.
“ I miss you too, baby” he lifted her and let her legs wrap around him. He let her on the bed as his mouth locked into hers.
Kate has stopped crying. She cleaned her face. She was not going to let this happen to her again. How could she let herself down like that? Nick would think she cares so much about him. He would think she was weak and could not do anything without him. She was going to prove him wrong. She knew that it was Jane who had left the house to go meet. It hurt her but she had to be a stronger person.
She wore some makeup and had to call Larry. She got to him and had to give him a big smile. She did not want him to know about the things that had been going on with her and Nick.
“ You do not look okay to me,” he said to her. He smiled, he knew why her face was like that.
Kate hated the fact that he could easily notice anything about her. “ I am okay,” she laughed. She had to laugh to prove that she was fine and nothing was wrong with her. She laughed again. Nick smiled at her.
“ Okay, I will agree with you if you say so” he pulled the drawer and brought out a camera.
He showed it to Kate. Kate pretended like she did not understand what he was showing her.
“The first picture is Jane entering this hotel, and the second picture is Nick going into the same hotel room” he looked at her to make sure that she understood him.
There was no way she could pretend like she was not aware of what he was showing her. She swallowed.
“ I never asked you to keep an eye on my husband, what is the meaning of this” she pushed the camera away.
Larry only smiled.
“ What is with the anger, you should be grateful to me,” he told her. “ I went out of my way to find out that your husband is cheating on you and this is what you say to me?” he was annoyed at how she had reacted to it.
“ Do you think I do not know about it, I do know about it” she finally said. She turned her face away from Larry.
“ Right, you knew right from the wedding day, I saw it too”
She turned to face him. Was he being serious? Then it clicked, she remembered the man she saw in the bathroom that day, the man she was looking for was Larry.
“ You were there that day. You know about me and Nick, you also know about Jane? Why did you hide yourself like that?” She asked him.
“ That is because I want to help you win. I want you to know that you do not have to remain unhappy for the rest of your life like this, look at your face, does it look happy?” He asked him. She shook her head.
She did not want him involved with her marriage.
“ You should stay away from me, do not talk about this again, whatever happens to Nick and I stays that way. You have no right to talk about my marriage like that” she shouted at him.
“ I do, I will continue to let you know that Nick does not deserve to make you unhappy. He is not unhappy about you, why do you have to be unhappy for him?”
She looked at him and saw the sincerity in his eyes.
“ What do I do?” She looked so worried. She looked at him hoping for an answer.
