The Rich Trooper’s Unfaithful Wife

Chapter 5

It’s already 7:35 PM. We closed up, and I was getting ready to go home, but unfortunately, I had forgotten that I’m meeting up with Robert Anthony tonight after work.

While I was getting ready to go home, Stephanie walked in.

“Girl, are you not going to meet him tonight?” Stephanie asked.

“Meet who?” I asked.

“Robert, of course. I mean, Robert Anthony.” Stephanie said.

“Oh no, that’s true. I completely forgot about that. Damn, it’s almost 8 PM. It’s already late. I need to rush home, freshen up, and then go to the bar.” I said to Stephanie.

“Girl, you need to hurry back home and make sure you put on the best dress among all the dresses you’ve got and wear the perfume with the best fragrance.” Stephanie said to me.

“OK, girl, thanks. Am I dropping you off at the bus station today?” I asked.

“Yes, I didn’t come with my car today, but you can go home so you wouldn’t be late to the bar. Just go home and freshen up.” Stephanie said.

“Come on, I can still drop you off at the bus station, and then go afterwards. I can’t leave you here and go home to freshen up because of some random guy, and you know we’ve been friends before I ever met this man.” I said to her.

“Aww, that’s so sweet of you. OK, then just give me a few minutes to finish up, and then we can go.” Stephanie said.

“Cool, of course I will wait for you.” I said.

Then she finished up, and we got into the car and left on the way to the bus station. I asked Stephanie about her new man.

“Well, I have already broken up with him because I found out he wasn’t as rich as he claims to be.” She said to me.

“Just because of that, girl? You broke up with him because he’s not that rich? Are you kidding me?” I asked her.

“No, I’m not kidding you, that’s the truth. I mean, that guy told me that he has a mansion and a company, and he said he is living luxuriously. But luckily, I found out from people around the area where he lives that the guy wasn’t rich, he has never been rich either.” Stephanie said.

“Girl, that must be so hard on him. You could’ve just given him a chance.” I said to Stephanie

“No, girl, I don’t care if it was hard on him. I just did what I thought was right, and about giving him a chance, I still don’t think it would’ve worked between us.” She said aggressively.

Then we talked, and we got to the bus station. I dropped her off, and we both said goodbye to each other, and I drove home immediately.

I got home, took a shower, and had some salad for dinner, then started getting ready. Unfortunately, I didn’t know which dress to put on that night.

It took me five minutes to find the clothes to wear. It was a red, elegant, shiny dress that Paul, my husband, got me as a gift on our wedding night.

Then I sprayed Paul’s favorite perfume all over my dress to smell nice and also to feel Paul’s presence in the bar.

I finished up, got into the car, and drove off to the bar. When I arrived, the bar looked so crowded. Then I started feeling insecure and unsafe.

I called Robert to let him know that I was outside, and immediately he came out, and we both walked inside the bar.

We both took a seat, just the two of us, and then the waiter approached with the menu in his hands.

“Sir, what should I get you both?” The waiter asked.

“What would you prefer, Camila?” Anthony asked.

“Uhm, just get me some smoothie.” I said to the waiter

“Just a smoothie? No, get her a smoothie and buffalo wings.” He asked.

“Okay, sir.” The waiter said

Then the food and drinks were served, and we took a sip of the smoothie. Then I asked, “Are you married or single?”

“Of course, I’m single and I have no kids. And you?” He said.

“I’m married with no kids, and my husband is not here in the USA, he is in Syria for his military service.” This I said to him.

While I was talking about my life to him, his phone rang, leaving it on the table. This gave me a chance to see who was calling.

Then I looked at his phone screen, and it was his wife calling. He declined the call, and when his wife called again, he declined it again. His wife called several times, and he declined them all.

That was a red flag for me, but I acted normal and played along with him because I actually wanted to return the favor he did for me by fixing my car and getting it running.

I asked him again, “Are you married?”

“No, I’m not married. Why all these questions? I mean, why do you keep asking if I am married? Do I look married to you?”He said and asked.

Then I shook my head and said nothing.

I looked at my phone and saw that it was already 9:00 PM.

“It’s late already. I need to be back home so I can rest for tomorrow because I have work tomorrow,” I said to him.

“Can’t you wait a little while?” He said.

“I wish I could, but I have work tomorrow, and I need to go home and rest for tomorrow.” I said to him

“Okay then, no problem. Just drive safe, okay? And thanks for hanging out with me tonight.” He said to me.

“Yeah, thank you. I will drive safely, and it’s a pleasure hanging out with you tonight.” I said to him.

Then I went home, took off my clothes, took a shower, and went straight to bed.

I took my phone, blocked Robert Anthony’s number, and deleted it from my phone.

I was really tired, but I still looked at Paul’s pictures and videos as usual. After looking at his pictures, I fell asleep.

The next morning, I woke up. While I was brushing my teeth, my phone rang. It was an unknown number, so I rushed to answer immediately, thinking it was Paul calling.

I picked up the call, and it was Robert Anthony on the phone with a different number.

“Did you block my number?” He asked on the phone.

“Yes, I did, and don’t ever call my number again, or I will inform the police. Remember, I have returned your favor, so now we are even.” I replied to him.
