Rachel saw the crowd gathered at the entrance of Wilson's company group. She didn't know what was going on, so she paid the cab driver, and got out of the cab, It's her! She is the new wife, Jeremy. Immediately, flashes of light from the camera were on her face, “Here she is” a reporter put a microphone on her. Suddenly, the crowd focused on her as many reporters gathered around her, “Are you Mrs Jeremy?” “How long have you two been together?” “Smile Rachel!” “Are you both in love?” She could hardly find her way to the entrance as questions were thrown at her, and pictures were taken at the same time. Thankfully, she was in a presentable dress, taken to her room with some other clothes carefully selected by Mrs Lucy and ordered to be sent to her room before morning. She felt smuggled by the crowd before some security men ran to escort her in. She couldn't believe how famous Jeremy was. She knew he had millions of followers on social media, but she didn't know they were obsessed about his life this much. She thanked the security guards and ran to the elevator. She already had a pass, she swiped the card, and it granted her access. She hurried in, she was late, and she didn't know how her husband and boss would react to it. The elevator stopped at the top floor, and she Hurried out, “Good morning Mary”, she greeted the receptionist. “Good morning Rachel, congratulations on the way you and Mr. Jeremy is perfect for each other” She smiled at Rachel, “Thanks, Mary,” Rachel replied. How did you do it? Mary asked Do what? Rachel replied, Listen, I have worked as a receptionist for 4 years now, and I know he is not the kind of man that just wakes up one morning and wives just anybody, Even his girlfriend Lily could not make him wife her all these years of being together, So tell me, Rachel, you just started working as his assistant for 2 weeks, and he married you out of all the rich and influential women seeking his attention.” Rachel understood what she was saying but didn't want to get into details with her. Although Mary had been nice and accommodating since she started working for the company, she couldn't just open up to her, Maybe he saw something in me, he could not see in any other woman, Rachel said boastfully. They both burst into laughter. We'll be careful your rival is in there. I guess she is ready to devour you. Mary said Do you mean Lily is in there? Rachel asked Yes, she is, and she has been going all off since morning? All right, thanks for the heads-up. Rachel responded. Her nerves were up as she didn't know how to face Lily, she never thought of this part of the deal. Dealing with her husband's jealous girlfriend, She slowly walked to Jeremy's office, It took her time to knock on the door, as she didn't know what to expect. Come on in, a voice from inside. She took deep breaths for the last time, She held the doorknob, and twisted it open, she stepped in. She met Lily crying beside Jeremy on the couch while he held her hands. Lily saw her and stood up, pulled her hands from Jeremy's hands and rushed to Racheal, She lifted her hands and slapped Rachel twice. Rachel held her checks with her hand, “You tramp, you stole my man from me, You cheap freaking w***e” Her voice was so loud that Jeremy couldn't calm her down, “I will reap you into pisses,” Lily tried to attack Rachel again, who was standing helpless, tears were already rolling down her cheeks, but Jeremy held her. “Don't stand there and leave at once, you are getting Lily more upset,” Jeremy said to Rachel, She slowly took her hands from her cheeks, wiped her eyes, and walked away. She was hurt. She went to her office, sat down on her chair, put her face on the desk, and started sobbing all over again. She wouldn't be in this mess if she wasn't taking care of her younger sister, Her heart broke more as she remembered how Jeremy spoke to her at his office, the tone of his harsh voice, and how he pointed her to the door, A few minutes back, she thought he cared for her, but now he is back to being a mean person all over again, all because of his girlfriend, The workers on the president's floor were already having side talks, Who treats his newly married wife like that, bringing his girlfriend to his office, where his wife also works. That's unfair to Rachel. Poor Rachel, I guess that's what happens to gold diggers," one of the staff said, Rachel can't be a gold digger, Mary replied, She is too real to be one. I don't know her well, but from the little I have known her she isn't after Mr Wilson's Gold I can say. Well, you don't know her that well," the lady replied. Suddenly, Jeremy's office door opened and everyone ran to their work station, Lilly stormed out of the office into the elevator, without looking back. Mr Larry Wilson walked out of the elevator accompanied by his heavily armed bodyguards. He saw Lily walking towards the elevator door and smiled at her, but her mood was different from the Lily he used to know, Lily tried to fake a smile and greeted Larry calmly, “Good morning,” she said. “Good morning", Larry Wilson replied. Why are you looking so sad my dear? What is the matter? It's nothing, it's OK, it's just that AV has not had my morning coffee. I will go get it now. She tried to walk away, but Mr Larry threw another question at her, Why would Jeremy wed a stranger and not you? You guys have dated for 4 years now, and I thought we should be hearing the wedding bell for both of you. How come he is married to someone else and not you? Lily couldn't stand and talk about it any longer as she got so emotional and tears dropped from her eyes. She cleaned her eyes with her left arm and walked outside of Mr Larry, who was trying to get information from her. She was aware of the whole fake marriage thing but didn't agree with it. She couldn't imagine sharing Jeremy with another woman, fake or not. She was going to make life a living hell for Rachel. She had already promised not to tell anybody about the whole thing, which also made her feel so sad.
