Adrian’s POV "First you hated cheating and then you hated woman but now you have both 'cheating woman'. I am saying you can’t be luckier. Why don’t you hate remaining stocks of your company, you will have it too..hahaha"  "Shut up Mikey. That was not funny." I took a sip of drink with a tranquil face.        It was Mikey. My college friend and now he is my manager. I only trust him in this entire world; so I discussed this matter with him. He is just trying to be funny but actually he was not.         It was a usual day for me, no matter what happened in the morning. We both came to drink as usual to lessen the stress of work. It was just a reason; I go back to my home just to sleep. It’s been two months that I have not sat on the same dining table with my family. "Addie, why didn't you scold your wife for cheating on you? And how can you still such calm without any frustration? Don’t you feel bad?" He asked again with a puzzled tone. “Feeling bad for what? I need to have feeling for her for feeling bad.” I again took another sip. “She is having affair, that doesn’t bother you?” I seemed he was more worried rather than me. He was changing the taste of atmosphere and making it unusual. "Can we stop talking about her?? I am just wasting my time." I said while raising my eyebrow. When Mikey saw my indifferent behavior towards Julie he shook his head and didn’t say anything. The atmosphere became calm again. "I just care if such news spread in media, it will ruin everything. Suggest me something to stop the rumors again." I know he was good in every legal matter. I thought he will show the best direction for my query.  "Why don't you have an extramarital affair too? You are just married." Mike said with serious look.        I turned my colder gaze towards him. He knows what I hated most cheating. I am in such a profession that I cared about trust more than anything else. Just because of trust I hire my best friend as a manager.  "You dumb ass. What did I say just now? I can't do that. Is that why you majored in law? Giving such shitty suggestions to others." I angrily roared on him. I kept my wine aside and took out a cigar from the box. I kept one cigar in my mouth and started burning with lighter. "Then you can act having a girlfriend. Just pretend that you are dating too. It will create another rumor and that won’t affect our company." Mike kept talking about it.   “Can’t you give me some genuine suggestion?” I asked Mikey while taking a puff of my cigar. “Yeah, you can have a s*x with a woman on the middle of the road. Then there won’t be any problem.” Mikey said in quite laughing way. I grinned my teeth towards him. Sometimes I feel why I am friend of him. “Shut up…You asshole…You are useless.” I shouted at him again. “You had experienced the worst love life and rumor of your being gay will start again if you didn’t take any action. Have you forget what happened last time?” Mikey was serious. He has given me the best legal suggestions till now. I was expecting some legal suggestion this time too.          I don’t want the thing which had happened few years ago should happen again. My break up with girlfriend became such sensational headlines that my personal life has almost destroyed my professional life. Some of my competitors started spreading rumors that I must be gay and sexually inactive to satisfy woman. My company shares dropped within overnight and It took one and half years to grab the top. “Think again and report me by tomorrow.” I said and came back to my mansion.        Everybody was already having dinner.  "Where is Julie? Wasn't she with you?" Mom asked when she saw I was coming inside. I pressed my lips and understood that she was still with that man.  "I don't know," I said while looking at my mother angrily. My mother was responsible for my marriage. I was not having much good relation with my family. I went back to my studies and sat on the chair.          If I did not care about my shares I would have divorced her long ago. I worked for a while and slept in the study room where I was sleeping since the day of my marriage.    ****   Margaret POV         Just a day before yesterday my dad told us that he was fired from the job and he was jobless too. His company was at loss and cutting off many employees that old and non-productive for their future. He was searching for another job but due to his age, no company was ready to hire him. I was shocked when I heard it. We just bought this house and now we don't have any other security to pay. Dad's job was the biggest security. “This company people are most selfish.” I murmured myself. I was so confident that I won’t need job for few years as my dad was working well and didn’t look so tired. I was standing in the balcony of my apartment with night suit. I had phone in my hand. Dad has lost his job that means there is no one who is working in our house. Dad was using savings since last month. I was worried about this house; suddenly a text message appeared on my phone. “The EMI of last month is due for Mr. Michael Williams.” My eyes widened. Dad has hid one more thing from us. He didn’t pay the installment of last month. I became extremely panic because of that message. I dialed up number and started speaking. "Hello Fred, I want the job on an urgent basis. Dad has lost his job and we could be kicked out from our house at any moment." I immediately rushed to call Fred when I got the SMS from the bank. I have never begged for a job in front of Fred as he always used to avoid it. But this time it was urgent. "Maggie, I have already told you Collins group don't hire anyone without some expertise. I think you should look somewhere else." Fred was a little frustrated. Obviously he had told me this thing almost hundred times. I really lost my self respect and started insisting him. "I am really in urgent need of a job. Please do something. I have no any other reference." My voice became heavy. I imagined the way the bank kicked us out of the house and siege its door. I already refused Maya and i think that job was already taken. Fred thought for a while. "There is one way if you don't mind using it. You will get a job in the Collins group. But I don't know if you will be ready for it or not." Fred was speaking in a hesitating way. Collins group, the name itself made me ready to do anything. "Yes, tell me. I am willing to do anything." I wont mind giving some tough examination or pursuing any difficult course for working in Collins group. "Manager Mike of Collins group is quite flirtatious. If you approach him and try to lure him, he will give you any job. You are beautiful; I think he will fall for your beauty." Fred explained to me about Mike. I was a little surprise because Fred was my boyfriend. I didn't expect him to say this. He was asking me to lure a manager of his company. That was strange for any girl. "Don't we have any other way?" I asked him with a bitter tone. I don't want to use such a method. Even though I was beautiful, I was shyer. "Don't worry; he won't do anything to you. He is just flirty, not p*****t and I will be there. Once you get the job you can avoid him." Fred gave me some courage. I understood that Fred will be there then I don't have to care about anything. Otherwise he won't have asked me to do something like this. I came back into my room to note down the details of the company. He told me to visit Collins group as they have some walk-in going on. I became agree and hung up the phone My heart became a little bitter but I don't have any other option. The job vacancies are quite less and competitors are more. Even if I try until I get old, I would not get the job. Working in Collins group will lesser many of my difficulties. My house payment will be proper and I will be capable of marrying Fred. I just took a deep breath and looked myself in the mirror. People say I am a beautiful woman. Even Fred says I am beautiful that's why he proposed me but sometimes my beauty hides my real talent.      The fair skin with golden brown hairs which is the result from my mom. A perfect nose and bow-shaped lips. I got a turquoise eye which was inherited from my dad. Sharp collar bones this everything was making me beautiful. I stared at myself deeply. Fred has already told me that he will be there. Nothing going to happen, the manager is just flirty. I took out the black short skirt and white chiffon shirt. I will go for the interview tomorrow. I will grab this opportunity. Convincing myself, I became ready for it. There was no sleep in my eyes, still I closed it tightly. I dressed up nicely in the early morning and took a cab to Collins Group. Yesterday only Fred called me again and give me some instruction about their company. He mentioned to me that he will point towards the cabin of that manager. I came to Collins building where I have come many times before to meet Fred. I saw an upward and remember god once. I hope I will get this job.
