Chapter 139: Chapter 139
With the drama unfolding, Craig just wants to be sure that his family was safe.
If bringing down his company from its high horse to the lowest disgrace is the aim of Sandra, and whoever it is she is working it, then she should be ready to be shocked, because they had started gathering facts that would nail her pretty soon.
It was supposed to be his time to just be at home, they have had a busy week with his grand father going round to fix the mess in their business, and to keep the family, still in the best position, he pulls Samantha, who was sitting beside him close, running his hands through her hair, so she doesn't sense his uneasiness, but he was the one that sense that she was uneasy, she seem to have something up her sleeve to share with him, putting him in a confused state, for he doesn't know if she is worried about the things that were happening in their lives at the time, or if she was actually looking past them as they have agreed to.
"You know it is okay to be worried about things, but when you are worried, all you need to remember is that I am here, and you can share anything with me". He tells her, and she turns to look at her, she only raised her head, but her jaw was touching his jaw, she moved a little upwards, and kissed the side of his lips, he began to think, she isn't worried, but maybe she wants something from him.
"Kissing me like that usually means you want something, so split". She smiles at his perfect guess.
"Fine then, since you seem to know how to guess right, I want something". He stared sternly at her, before remembering that she might be planning to ask him what he doesn't think he can grant, so he decided to be smart with his responses.
"Tell me, what do you want? He asked, but she has another request before asking the main thing.
"First promise that you will grant me my request? She searched his eyes, she looked happy, she hadn't been that happy for a long time, he wasn't ready to take that smile away from her, so he accepted, with the background thought that he will always know what to do.
"I want to go to go out alone, with no guard". She says. Craig didn't see that coming, he never allows her to be on her own, let alone go without a guard, worse of it all, with all that is happening around them now, they couldn't possibly leave room for their enemies to strike.
"You can't possibly be asking me to leave you all by yourself to go out? He asked, still in doubt that she actually asked for that.
"Yes I am, I don't like the way the guards flock around me, they are usually too much, no one is coming to take me away, so do not worry". Craig shook his head, to disagree.
"I am sorry, I cannot accept that". He says, and she furrowed, the smile that had been on her face disappeared, she etched, blink her eyes severally, before moving aside, far from him, to show him just how angry she is.
" Fine then, if you are going to give me that angry face, then I guess we are going to have to come to a compromise. I will go anywhere you want to go to with you". He says, but she still didn't look so happy, but she just had to accept, it was better she walks out with her husband, than having guards all around her, making her feel like one very important person, though she knows that being the wife of the only heir of the Apple empire, is worth all the attention and all the guards surrounding her.
By the way, where is this place you want to go to, that you don't want any guard to go with you? He asked.
"Not like I was going to go alone, I wanted to go get some pills from a pharmacy Linda directed me to, I didn't want you to know before, but since you keep policing me, I guess I can't hide it from you ". She tells him truthfully, which further confused Craig.
"And what would you need this pills for? He asked, adjusting himself properly on the seat, taking notes to see if he will take back his promise of allowing her go anywhere.
"It's a particular diet pill, I was telling her that I feel too big since I gave birth to Myles and it's been three months since then, and I still feel so big, which makes me feel you no longer seem attracted to me, so I want to do something that would help me get back to shape". she says, shocking him even more.
"Why will you even think that? He questioned, for he had never thought her to be fat, as a matter of fact, to him, she looks even prettier, since after the baby, with her bigger breast, and firmer face.
"I know you are going to try to convince me that you never thought of it like that, but that is how I feel, and I want to get back to shape, she says that the pharmacy is the best around town, she says she works there in the evenings, and I might meet her there when I come, but if I don't meet her there, I will just get the things I needs, and leave that is all". The explanation was long, Craig wants to explain to her that he still feels attracted to her, he decided against talking, but showing her, but he was not going to stop her from going out.
They dressed up in matching outfits, of blue jean and white T shirt, with White canvas, looking all cool, they went out with their lowest car, with no guard, and no attention was drawn to them, with their face cap and sun shade, it only made them look like regular couples going out.
Getting to the pharmacy with their bright light, and clearly a long queue, Samantha was happy that they didn't give them preferential treatment, by making them get their things first, she could tell it is because they didn't really know that it was them, she loved the fact that she joined the queue to buy what she wanted, but there was someone in front of her, who keeps looking back, giving her the face of a familiar, but rare person.
She knows she have seen him before, but she just could not remember.
She had the strong feeling that she have met him before, and she should say Hello to him, as soon as she was done buying her pill and directed on how to use it, she left Craig and races after the man to Craig's surprise
