The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 25

Unfortunately for him the answer to that question was yet to be revealed .

Ciara finally woke up and realized she had actually slept for three whole hours, when she was only intending to have a quick nap. She found herself in a different room, it was smaller than Liam’s office and actually had a bed. Just when she was about to panic, she heard Liam’s voice on the other side of the door.

It seemed like he was having a heated discussion with his subordinates, something about a security breach in one of his smaller companies so they were discussing ways to solve that issue.

Not wanting to interrupt, Ciara decided to just silently wait for them till they were done. So once the room had gone silent for a while, she then came out but to her dismay there were still people in the office room. She then awkwardly smiled and turned away back to the break room.

When Liam saw that she was awake, he wrapped up the meeting and dismissed all those curious employees in the office. They were reluctant to go without knowing the identity of the woman but since no one had the courage to ask, they had no choice but to take their leave.

Once the office was cleared out Liam went to break room and knocked.

“Hey you can come out now, they are all gone.”

Soon the door was slowly opened from the inside and a small head peaked out. She then turned her head making sure that Liam’s subordinates had really left. It was only after she was certain of it, that she left the break room.

Seeing her actions, Liam could not help but chuckled. He found her actions quite funny plus she looked adorable, like an embarrassed little girl.

“Hey why didn’t you wake me up, look how late it is.”

“I couldn’t bring myself to do it you were just sleeping peacefully.” with that Ciara was rendered speechless and could only respond by fluttering her eyelashes.

Since it was already time to clock out of work, they packed up their things and headed out. They got themselves some take out food, before heading back home.

…

Days had passed after the incident with Laura and Boity. As things were now peaceful, Ciara had figured it would be best to just let it go since she would not be encountering them that often. Little did she know….

It was now festive season and holidays were nearing. This morning Ciara woke up very happy, as she was about to relax and take some time off work since the company was going to close for holidays.

When she checked her phone, she noticed that she had received a message from Lisa inviting her to a lunch date. She informed her husband during breakfast as she would not be bringing him any lunch today . Once they were done they took the same ride to work, the driver dropped Ciara at her office first. The car had parked across the street so that no one would notice her.

Unfortunately as it was already almost time for work to start, a lot of people were coming in at that time. Someone did see her coming out of a black Mercedes S-class. By the time she reached her work station, everyone was already gossiping about her. And some didn’t even try to lower their voices.

“She’s not a Saint after all, I hear she tried to climb the social class by sleeping around with wealthy men.”

” Yeah, I too heard, apparently that’s how her novel got adapted to a movie, they she slept with the investors.”

“tsk tsk, she is indeed dirty don’t you think?”

They all looked at her with disgust, like she was as dirty as they claimed her to be. Instead of getting angry, Ciara knew that everything they said was false so decided to pay no mind to the gossip.

But some really wanted to get a reaction from her, so one of the ladies then asked her but it was as if she already knew the answer.

“Hey Ciara who’s car was that, and what relationship do you have with the owner…. Owh wait is he one of your sugar daddies?”

When everyone heard the last part of this co-worker’s question, they burst out loud laughing. They figured, if that man was really Ciara’s sugar daddy he must indeed be an old man with a big beer belly and probably married with kids so Ciara was only there for money. They all thought ‘ even though Ciara’s life may look like she’s succeeding, but shame she’s actually suffering in side as someone’s mistress .’

With a calm expression, still not showing her emotions Ciara coldly responded.

“that person in that Car is not my sugar daddy, and what I do with my life has got nothing to do with you so please stay in your lane. We are not friends.”

The room immediately went dead silent, no one could refute what she had just said. So she took the opportunity to wrap up her work, and submit what was needed from her before she could go to her date with her two friends. When she was done she grabbed her bag and did not even bid farewell to her colleagues or even wish them a happy festive as they had always been mean towards her.
