Camella rolled her eyes and sneered. She expected him to object but instead he was happy. What nonsense was that? She's not pleased with this arranged marriage at all. She hopes she's able to put her disgust aside and learn to love him gradually.
“Fine. I hope we get to it and get over it as quickly as possible” Camella squeaked. The earlier it's over, the better for them both. He would stop acting like a fool around her. And if things get suffocating, she'll request for a divorce.
“Yes, you are right. Since it's going to be a quiet wedding, we wouldn't be needing an elaborate wedding planner. We could just head to the marriage bureau and get married as soon as possible” Jack explained.
Even if she wants it the next day, he's ready. Anything to make this woman succumb before him, he was ready to do it. Even if it means getting married the next morning.
When Camella retired back into her room, she was unhappy. It appears she is getting closer to what she doesn't want to do. She didn't forget to bolt the door behind her this time. As she glanced at herself in the mirror, the thought of Andre bulged her again.
Why couldn't he accept her apologies and take back his job. If he kept refusing her, how can she achieve her aim? Dad is counting on her to get him back and she cannot fail him.
The next morning , Camella set out to work. She couldn't really sleep well over the night. Her heart was clumsy. On one hand was Andre Torello and on the other was Jack, her fiance. She wants to win this one's attention while she was getting suffocated by the other.
She'd hardly settle into her office when Fred Maxwell arrived. There has been an issue in the mechanical unit. The engines procured need to be coupled but the engineers are all stuck on it and they couldn't proceed.
“And our partners have made orders and paid. We are losing on our end of supply. What do we do now?” Fred Maxwell informed. The wind had blown and the cloaca of their chicken was exposed.
They didn't see this loophole all these years. Everything was going smoothly, because Andre Torello was there, covering their backs. The other half baked engineers were also shielded because their colleague was there.
Now, Andre is away and that part of the company is stuck. He didn't expect that there could be someone so indispensable like this. Now, Miss Camella must do something or they would lose their partners.
Camella's palm formed a fist. This is frustrating and the company will lose a fortune if they can't meet up. She didn't expect that in the absence of Andre what she had left were a bundle of imbeciles.
“Can we hire an expert urgently?” Camella asked. Why is he doing this, going to England when he would be fine here. And now, the company needs him. If they could get other experts like him, she wouldn't bulge him anymore.
“There are a few of them but none of them are available. Those we can get are also Mechanical engineers like the ones in the workshop but how good are they in the area of coupling?” Fred responded.
“Talk to our partners to give us another period of two days. We'll definitely meet up with their requests” Camella instructed. She sat back. She has just that day to get Andre to reason with her.
On the other hand, Andre was losing hope in going to England. His mom was not interested in coming along with him and he cannot leave her. Maybe he should get a job elsewhere and stay with her pending when she would be able to change her mind.
He glanced at the card by his bedside table. He'd collected it from the director of the sports council the previous day. He didn't want to talk about it because of that woman Camella that was there. They are requesting him to join those who would be getting enlisted in the international tournament.
Maybe he should give it a trial. He'll get busy with that but he is more interested in relocating to England. He got out of bed and went to take a bath. As he stepped out and got dressed, he pulled out the bedside drawer and saw a glittering ring.
He recognised it immediately. What the heck! He hadn't gotten anything out of that drawer in months. Jasmine really left the engagement ring he gave her behind? He didn't take notice of it. She already knew she was getting married and leaving him.
He kept the ring back in its place and shook the thoughts of her off. She was pregnant back then and went ahead to get married to Patrick. Only she knows if that baby growing in her was his or Patrick.
But the thought of another man making love to Jasmine while she was still with him was unimaginable. They were happy and he'd never told her no on whatever she wants. He'd rather starve himself rather than not giving her what she wants.
And she'd never say no when it comes to love making. Anytime he wants to make love to her, she would be ready for him as well. But how can she be having sex with Patrick that she even got pregnant and claimed it was his?
If a woman can be so deep hearted, they are a species of dangerous people. She would moan aloud and tell him she would only get fucked by him, saying she loves him and all of that and yet, she conveniently left him and got married to someone else with pregnancy.
How could she be pregnant with another man's child and yet, was still coming to him? He still made love to her, days before she got married. How possible was that, how dead a conscience she has, to do that?
Women are terrible people. Whoever his real mother is, he hates her. And Jasmine had cemented that feeling by being a woman in cruelty. He'll be more careful of women than serpents.
