THE OTHER WOMAN

Chapters 15

I made a sandwich for myself and sat on the couch to watch TV before I went to bed. It had been a week and a half since Isabella started working for me and so far so good. She was working her ass off and I wasn't sure if she was just trying to impress me or she really enjoyed the job. Nonetheless, I was planning to execute my plans on her the following morning.

I dialled Allan's number and he sounded so glad to hear from me. Ever since I promised him a well paying job, he treated me like I walked on water.

"Hey boss?" He greeted me playfully and despite my ever present bad temper, I found myself smiling.

"Allan, I need you to do me a favour."

"Anything for you."

"Remember I told you I'll need something in return for your job?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm going to visit my Mum so I won't be at the office tomorrow."

"Uh huh?"

"I want you to go there tomorrow and have s*x with Isabella in my office."

There was a sharp intake of breath and a dramatic silence on the other end.

"What the hell, Julie?? You're kidding, ain't you?"

"Do I sound like I am?"

"What? No, Julie. I can't do that." He sounded angry and desperate at the same time .

"Why not? It's nothing you haven't done before."

"How on earth do you even know about that?"

"Wild guess. Thanks for confirming it."

"This is none of your business, Julie."

"Maybe you don't need that job as badly as you thought you did."

"f**k!" He sighs on the other end. "What do you want?"

"How many times did it happen?"

"One time."

"She's married to your childhood best friend. Didn't that disgust you?"

"It happened after he got me fired. I didn't care."

"How did it happen?"

"I went to confront him. He wasn't home but she was. I was a little drunk...maybe not a little... I ended up telling her about the bribe and that I was going to the police about it. She tried to talk me out of it, but I flipped her off and told her to suck my diçk. Figuratively, of course."

"And...she did it."

"Literally."

"Wow!"

"I know."

"I can't decide who is more disgusting between you two."

"It's not a competition."

"It kinda is. I don't know why you're getting defensive. You're winning."

He sighs.

"I need the job, Julie. Tell me what I need to do."

"Go to my office tomorrow, f**k Isabella, and win yourself a one way ticket to an office with a view."

"Why do you want me to do it?"

"First, you will be getting back at Jack for messing with your job. Two, you will nut, and three, you will be paying me back for getting you a good job."

"You are unbelievable."

"I know. Just do it."

"What if she says no?"

"She probably won't. She slept with Paul for some useless information."

"How do you know all that?"

"Because I am Julie."

He sighed desperately on the other end.

"Can I think about it?"

"No. The answer is either yes or no."

"Why are you doing this to me?"

"Because you knew that Jack was up to no good before the sabotaged wedding, and you didn't bother to give me a heads up."

"Are you on some sort of revenge mission?"

"Are you interrogating me? Just go and do it. For me. Please?"

"Whatever."

I smiled to myself.

"And Allan?"

"Yes?"

"Condomize it. Don't compromise."

He wasn't impressed. He knew I'd picked that off a TV commercial.

"Goodnight, Julie."

"Goodnight darling."

I was in the seventh heaven.

I texted Isabella that I wasn't going to be in the following day and spread myself on the couch. It was going to be a long night.

***

My alarm went off and I grabbed it sleepily and turned it off. I remembered that I wasn't working that day so I decided to sleep in. I woke up at quarter to nine and lazed in bed for a while before I remembered that my revenge mission was about to hit it's deafening crescendo.

Damn.

I hoped I wasn't too late.

I rushed to the living room and started my laptop. I hurriedly clicked the keys and the live action in my office came on the screen. Isabella was bending over my desk, with Allan behind her ramming into her hard. Neither of them knew that their dirty act was being recorded, but I didn't care for any legal ramifications. They should've surveyed for CCTV before they got into it, plus, this was only meant for Jack's eyes.

The scene was hot and steamy and I got carried away for a moment.

I watched as he pushed her onto the couch and she straddled him, her eyes rolling back, moaning like a banshee.

I was sure Jack would love that.

I logged off and took a long shower. I was going to see my mum for the first time in almost a year. I had avoided everyone who had been close to me. I thought they would judge me or blame me for what Jack did to me.

Now with my revenge mission coming to a successful end, I was almost healed and I was claiming my life back.

I sang heartily as I drove my Everest to my mama's place.

I was one happy woman.
