The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 99

“well yes, I would like to believe that we are friends.”

Liam then asked her to keep their conversation between the two of them as he still needed to assess the situation at Ciara’s company, see if there are people who needed to be punished. He also got all the information he needed about Ciara’s place of work.

After going through Ciara’s file with the doctor, Liam excused himself and was about to exit the door when Donna stopped him.

” uhm Mr Jones Sir, today in the afternoon Mrs Jones will be here for her regular check-up. You can come if you want, I’ll organize a room for you so that you can watch everything live and you will be able to see the gender of the baby if you want. Cici is still waiting for your presence, she wanted you to be present when she replaces out.”

” Thank you.”

Liam was really greatful to the doctor, he knew that she was a true friend to Ciara and was doing all she could to benefit the two of them, but since there was still a lot to fix he too opted not to know the baby’s gender and will replace out when both him and his wife are in the same room at the same time.

After confirming the time of Ciara’s appointment he left the practice and headed to a small dinner at the center of town where he started his work for the day.

Ciara walked in the editorial company that she worked for and signed in for the day, she warmly greeted the secretary who was the only person apart from the cleaner who treated her like a normal human being probably because they thought they were on the same level when it came to their backgrounds and affordability.

The secretary also greeted her back with a warm smile.

” Hello dear, how’s the little one treating you? I hope she is behaving herself otherwise auntie will whip her small butt when she comes out.”

They both laughed at the statement, Ciara even pointed at her belly and talked to her little one.

” You heard that baby, you better behave yourself now because auntie is really going to smack that butt of yours. “

She ended up not answering the receptionist as they were both busy laughing at their jokes. She then walked in to her work station and sat down staring at the pile of documents before her. It looked like it was going to be another long day for her. She needed to proof read everything on those documents and fix any mistakes found on it.

It may sound as an easy task, but sitting in one place and reading the never ending documents for 8 to 9 hours a day can be exhausting and especially for a pregnant woman. She sigh but still took out the first document and read through it.

“Guys did you see the weather for today? They said it Will reach 42 degrees Celsius.”

” that’s too bad, so the misus here together with the sun will definitely make us sleepy..”

” Owh God not again, why doesn’t she go home and come back once she has given birth? “

The comments were so mean and were directed at Ciara as the only pregnant woman in the office. She too could not believe that such comments came from women, the only people who were supposed to be understanding as they too will be mothers one day. She did not give them any credit and just continued with her work totally ignoring them.

” What do you mean go home? How will she afford to take care of her child without an income, remember that, that baby doesn’t have a father. Hehehe even her husband left her to fend for herself.”

Ciara did not mind them bad mouthing her, or throwing nasty comments at her but to involve her loving husband and her unborn child was just overstepping it and unforgivable to her.

She stood up and gave that colleague a deadly and disgusted look. It was the first time seeing Ciara that cold and aloof, and they were all frightened by her. They all saw her as a timid, abandoned, pregnant woman who was not able to defend herself and can be pushed over, however they wanted.

” I dare you to say that again!”

She even walked closer to the woman’s work station, walking in full determination and filled with vengeance. Everyone kept quite and waited for the brewing storm to strike.

” I said that, uhm.. Eeh. I mean people talk, everyone knows that your husband left and now your child is without a father. All I said is true, you are poor than all of us and still have to raise an abandoned child.”

“tsk tsk, where did you get that? You know I can sue you for that and best believe I can come for everything you own. And that goes for everyone in this room.”

” haha what do you mean, how can you even afford a lawyer when you can’t even buy yourself decent quality clothes. “

” waaaa hahahaha. “

Everyone in the room also started laughing at Ciara which further angered her, so she raised her arm ready to give that colleague of hers a hard slap.

” I wonder if you know the consequences of doing that Ms Williams. “

At this point Ciara was just tired of playing nice with these people, and she no longer cared whether she got fired or not as what she could not stand the most was to watch them badmouth her husband.

” And what will that be? “

” I’m afraid I will have to let you go, violence leads straight to dismissal. I know very well that is not what you want .”

This was her manager and Donna’s friend who never really liked Ciara. Although she was warning her, Ciara knew very well that it was all just an act.

” OK, so as the manager what do you say about all the abusive comments that I received from them all the time.”

The manager smiled and looked at Ciara in a provoking way.

“What about it, colleagues bicker and fight all the time why don’t you just let that pass?”

“paaaaaaaah!”

Ciara did not wait for her manager to finish talking as she had already given her rude work mate a hard slap that sent her head spinning.
