M.I N.E endless Love
Chapter 20: Your request isn't granted

The next morning, Eduardo left for the company long before Jenny woke up. When she came downstairs, she realised that Eduardo had gone to the office.

She got dressed and decided to step out of the Mansion since her mother died. And hadn't been out for days, but now, she needed to replace her uncle. She must go and replace where she was buried.

But first thing first, she would go to the Campbell's Company. She needed to receive the response of her Request. If he could agree to give him a favourable response, she would decide whether to travel or remain in that city.

She took a taxi and went to the company. She doesn't have a car, the one she used to have, she sold it to add to the money to save her mother some time ago. She now goes about in a taxi and her uncle wouldn't buy her a new car. And being Eduardo's Wife, she is not interested in using or taking anything from him.

She arrived at the company and took the elevator. She went to the President's office and the secretary stopped her. She asked her her name and why she wanted to see the President.

Jenny asked the secretary to tell her boss that Jenny was there to see him. As for why she wants to see him, that is not going to be necessary once she told her boss she is Jenny.

The secretary eyed her, such an arrogant thing. Anyways since her job was to attend to everyone who came to see the boss, she went and knocked before stepping into the office. She saw the President busy with some files and didn't spare her a glance when she came in.

"Sir, someone is here to see. She said her name is Jenny" the secretary said and Eduardo paused. He dropped hisbpwn and raised his head and looked at the secretary. "Who did you say wants to see me?" He asked, suddenly becoming more serious than expected.

The secretary repeated what she said earlier and Eduardo said ok. She should let her in. As soon as the secretary turned her back, Eduardo was thinking of a suitable answer to give Jenny.

He didn't think about it earlier. He never thought she would come to the company. He stilled his heart and decided to tell her what he had decided.

Jenny pushed the door open and went in. She walked in and saw Eduardo sitting behind the desk. He looked down and was still writing notes and commenting on the file in front of him.

She didn't wait to be offered a seat, she sat on the sofa and waited. Her face was frowned and ready to get her way with Eduardo. She looked at the exquisite office, the cushions, the floor and the large mahogany desk that held a vase containing flowers.

The flowers sent a cool scent that filled the office. The flowers were fresh as if they were brought that morning. There was also a computer on the desk and shelves, containing files at arm's length to Eduardo.

The Anderson family is one of the richest, if not the richest in the country. The enchanting atmosphere of Eduardo's office makes her feel like relaxing and not leaving again.

"Wify" Eduardo called her gently. He had stopped writing and raised his head, glaring in her direction but she was looking at everything in the office.

Jenny was caught off guard. She shivered and gently turned to glance at Eduardo. He called her wife. He had always called her Jenny, what's the romantic title he now thought of giving her at the time she was going to leave him. She frowned. Eduardo Anderson didn't say anything again but just stared at her. She Gave him once, he would save her mother at all cost as well. Those lips he kissed that night averted his death.

"I have come to see you," Jenny declared. She adjusted herself on the seat and looked away, she didn't understand why he was staring at her so much.

"I presume, otherwise why would you be here?" Eduardo responded, for the first time since they were married, he looked at her intently. She's beautiful.

Though she has a petite figure, with slightly large boobs. She's a little fairer than Eduardo. Her hair is dark, full and long. She has a V-shaped face with small round lips. On those lips was a red lipstick. Her eyes were almond shaped and grey in colour.

Why has he never looked at her so well? Perhaps because he disliked her for being a substitute bride he was offered because they assumed that he was cripple. She is way far better in Beauty compared to that arrogant bitch Betty.

"I made a request last night and you said you would give me a reply this morning. But before I came downstairs, you were gone. I needed an answer and hence I came to replace you.."Jenny rehearsed and still couldn't look away. Somehow she felt shy. She doesn't know why she was feeling that way. Could it be because she knew Eduardo was staring at her? She became a little uncomfortable with the way his eyes lingered on her.

"It is not in your place to request for a divorce. On what grounds do you ask for that? Have I been unfaithful to you? Do you have any peculiar reasons Why you are eager to leave a union that is less than a month?"Eduardo asked, feeling uneasy about her Request.

"If you were unfaithful, that would have been the least" Jenny blurted, rolling her eyes. His friendliness suffocates her, she can't stand it anymore.

"Then air your reasons?" Eduardo demanded. What has he done that the solution can only be found in divorce?

"You are inhuman toward me. I don't want to have issues with you anymore. You tell me, order me and even say we are married so I can accompany you to the dinning. What sort of marriage is that?" Jenny explained.

Eduardo sighed. If someday she realised that her mother was not dead, that she is receiving treatment elsewhere, she would regret Making this request.

"That's not enough reason to ask for a divorce. You need a genuine reason to leave me" Eduardo was stubborn. He had a grin appear on his lips but quickly disappeared again.

"I don't need a genuine reason to quit a marriage that was not supposed to exist! I was married to you in order to get my aunt and uncle to take care of my mother. That was the condition I was offered. I agree, I was ready to do anything just to see my mother well again.

But now, she's dead. Why would I remain stuck in the union? You didn't treat me as a wife but a servant or worse than a servant. And because of your cruel and harsh treatment to me, I couldn't get to see her remains, all because I found myself in this marriage. Free me, I want to go" Jenny Requested.

Eduardo sat back into his chair. He was rolling his own in his hand and at the same time, thinking of the appropriate answer to give her. He can presume that she is unhappy at all.

"You didn't tell me the person you were going to see is your mother. You never told me you have a mother let alone being in the hospital..." Eduardo was saying when Jenny interrupted him.

"Do you really care about the woman you married? Did you give me a chance to be anywhere close to you to explain what predicament I was facing? Besides, I don't need your sympathy. All I want is divorce. If I had the money to hire a lawyer, I would have already signed and sent the papers to you to sign" Jenny blurted out.

There was a needle dropping silence. The office became quiet and neither of the couple said anything to each other. Jenny had made up her mind. if he doesn't grant her Request, she would elope and he would never replace her. "I'm sorry" Eduardo said and Jenny paused in her thoughts. Did she hear those words well? Did He say sorry just now? She squinted. No it's just her imagination, only her imagination.

"I am sorry Wify, if I have been hard on you. I promise to work on myself..." Eduardo apologised. He doesn't want her to go, at least not now that he has known that she was the girl from that night, the one he had kissed. Jenny turned her head and looked at the man seated behind the desk. Eduardo knew she was going to be surprised that he apologised. The mentality she has about him is gradually getting distorted.

"You said sorry to me?" Jenny can't help but ask him again. He really said that? The grudges she had against him all seemed to have disappeared suddenly.

"Yes, I said sorry. I am not willing to let you go to that fellow beckoning to you from the kissing that night. Don't think I don't know your lips have been taken by someone else.." Eduardo took a different dimension. He wants to know what her reaction would be.

Jenny sighed. A few seconds ago, she was taken by surprise by his words of apology. She was going to start praising him when suddenly he came out. Different colours.

"Yes, I Wish I met that guy again. I would gladly leave you and be with him. I not only want his lips, I want his entire body to be mine. What can you do about it?

I knew you can never be the guy. I almost mistook you for him if not for the fact that you are on a wheelchair and he is not. So it would be better for me right? You can continue investigating me way back to when my mother gave birth to me. And if that is not enough, let me know. I will investigate myself and give you answers" Jenny blurted.

Eduardo tried his best not to let his smiling get seen. She was admiring him In his true self. This is his fake aspect. His real identity is with his legs. So she didn't deny kissing him that night.

"Fine. Your request isn't granted" Eduardo spoke authoritatively. He was expressionless again and was going to ignore her when she stood up.

"I will pick you later wify, for Dinner in the Anderson's Mansion" Eduardo informed, without raising his head to look at her again. As she turned and walked towards the door, He raised his head and watch her back view. She is beautiful with a curvy hips.

Luke Anderson, Eduardo's brother, soon came knocking on his door. He has now suddenly become a boyfriend of Betty. He also doesn't know the secret that Eduardo keeps about his legs.

As he got into the office, he smiled at his brother and said "I saw your wife just leaving. Are you aware that she died a few days ago?" Luke asked, walking over and sitting in front of his brother.

"Oh.. her mother?" Eduardo asked, answering his question with a question. He doesn't want to discuss much with him. Luke was born four years after him and their lost sister was born three years after Luke.

"I want to ask if your wife will be joining us for dinner this evening. Remember this is a usual dinner every month with Dad and Mom?" Luke asked.

"Yes. She would be coming" Eduardo answered flippantly and went back to working on another file. He seemed to be comparing things on the file and then the system.

"Are you done with your assignment?" Eduardo asked and he said no. He just felt he should ask his brother when he saw his wife leaving his office. Seeing his brother has no time for frivolous talks, he soon left, and returned to his office.

Jenny then headed towards her uncle's place. Since he hasn't called her, she would go to him and ask him if he had succeeded in getting where exactly her mother had been buried.

She knew her uncle is the kindest man after her father that she knows. If Aunt Sebrina and that spoiled thing she called a daughter were mean and inhuman, he would not be. He is the backbone she's got left.

As she got to the house and placed her legs on the threshold, she heard their arguments and she froze...
