The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 67

While they all gave her a questioning look, Ciara paid them no mind, she pretended to have not seen them.

She thought it was weird that they were now questioning her relationship with Annie, and want to know what was really happening when not even an hour ago they were convinced that she was the villain who takes people’s men. She welcomed Annie with opened arms.

” Cousin! What are you doing here, you should’ve told me you were coming, you wouldn’t have waited for that long. ”

” arhg it’s not a train smash, you know how your husband is like. He made me come all the way here to make sure your colleagues don’t bully you. I know people have labeled you as the man snatcher.”

Annie said the last part while gazing over the employees in the room who seemed to have been embarrassed to be called out by the mayor’s daughter like that.

” Owh my God that man, and you also came. Tsk tsk, let me tell you something, nowadays people don’t care about getting their facts right. They will label you what ever they want and in their eyes you’d always be the bad person. Come on let’s go out so we could talk privately. ”

She headed to her work station and packed her bag ready to go.

” My house perhaps? ”.

” Naa I’ve been indoors for a while now, let’s go somewhere fun. ”

They exited the office and went to the elevator, as soon as the doors shut close the whole office turned in to an uproar.

They were wondering what Ciara meant by cousin, did that mean that Ciara whom they’ve always bullied was actually related to the mayor. But what is the story about Ciara being a third wheel, is that also a lie.

” I told you guys that there must a misunderstanding in this whole thing, but you wouldn’t listen. ” one of the colleagues pointed out, she was actually happy that she never said anything nasty to Ciara, and now that it seemed like Ciara had a strong background all those who had bullied her, were in cold sweat. What if she decides to fight back, in their eyes Ciara had the power to end their careers. Well that wasn’t far from the truth as her husband was more than capable of doing that, it’s just that, it wasn’t in Ciara’s nature to be nasty or bring about harm to others.

” so Ciara is not a third wheel but is actually married to someone, do you guys know who that person is. ”

” stupid! How will we know when we only found out she was related to the mayor just minutes ago. ”

” I think it’s someone powerful, I don’t think her family would allow her to marry a nobody. They man even commands the mayor’s daughter. ”

” I beg to differ, Have you ever seen Ciara wearing a ring? What kind of a man fails to even buy his wife a ring? I think she just married a lowly man, which explains why their relationship has been kept a secret. ”

You see, when someone dislikes you, they will always replace bad in everything you do. Now that it was confirmed that Ciara was not a mistress destroying someone’s relationship, they decided to makeup a story for themselves which they actually believed. They thought the reason behind Ciara’s marriage secrecy was due to her suffering, it either the man was poor or maybe he was a crippled hence why Ciara never told anyone about it. As they all came to this conclusion, the same employee who had been defending Ciara spoke up again.

” what if you guys are all wrong, what if the answer is right in front of us. Don’t you replace it weird that she is always with Mr Liam Jones, the president of Jones group? Even if she doesn’t have an expensive ring or any ring for that matter, Did you notice that extremely expensive watch she’s always wearing, even when her outfit don’t match with that watch, she would still put it on? ”

” yeah what about it?

Now that she was making sense everyone focused on what she was about to say.

” Don’t you replace it weird that Mr Jones have the exact same watch, but a male version of it off cause? You know there’re only 3 pairs in the world and only 1 pair was spotted in this country. What if instead of rings, these watches symbolizes their love.? ”

” hahahaha don’t be stupid, Mr Jones is among the top 20 richest people in the world, why on earth would he go for a woman like her. And why would Ciara be here working her but off, instead of spending her husband’s money every day? ”

Everyone had almost believed the first employee but upon listening to the second one, everything she said made even more sense. They just concluded that it was all a coincidence or perhaps Ciara bought the watch herself, they felt that it was highly possible for that to happen since they discovered that she came from an influential family.
