Tristans affair

4.WEEKEND

MEILLYN

At this point in my life i am only working towards making it to the weekend. I used to work for better days ahead but those days are far out of reach at this point. The only thing thats keeping me going is the fact that today is a thursday so i am motivated for the weekend. Tristan is not coming to the office today so i heard , at least i can work without feeling overwhelmed. I wish it was easy to unlove someone the way you just randomly love someone. I wish i would stop missing him when he is not around, i wish i would stop the thoughts of ruining his engagement ceremony , alas nothing can be done. I have gone through most of the files and i have noted down most of the things that need his attenion. I have a few minutes to slack off so i go to the cafeteria for coffee. I have a realisaion that i have not interacted with my coworkers for a while and thankfully most of the ladies are already here laughing and eating. I get coffee and a sandwhich then i sit down .

"you were a ghost this whole week" Aby states and i sigh

"working for Mr Zelda directly must be hard ,please dont quit i dont want to be next in line " Derek says and everyone laughs

"i doubt you would be next in line " Michelle adds as she takes a bite of her sandwhich

" i think Monica would be next , she is dying to have that position" i add and they nod

" She hates your guts by the way" Michelle states and i chuckle

"seriously" Daniella states " the roumours she says about you are crazy"

"What roumours ? " i put my sandwhich down

" honestly you havent heard? , she says you have been seducing Mr Zelda, she says you got your way by sleeping with him"i choke on my food

"excuse me" i am shocked

"i heard you slept with Zelda senior actually thats how you got your job in the first place" i laugh so hard that i snort

"thats bull, why would i go for father and son at the same time" i laugh

"plus Tristan is getting married. Miss Clara looks like a good woman, youre not selfish enough to be a homewrecker" Daniella adds and instanly i feel guilty. i swallow then i sigh

"Mei!" i look at the door and i see one of my coworkers Lilian rush my direction. i immediately stand up knowing she only rushes when its an emergency

"whats wrong " i rush to her

" why are you not answering your call"

" i am sorry i left my phone in the office "

"th.. the new investor, the one Mr Zelda senior was talking about , apparently he is on his way here"

" what! how no one scheduled a meeting let alone a emergency meeting , how am i supposed to handle this" she shrugs , I immediately rush to the office and i call Tristan whose phone rings unanswered i sigh in furastration then i call Astrid who picks up on the third ring

"Astrid , i , the new investor is coming" i am panicking

"calm down Mei, he is not coming for any business he wants to take a tour at the company then the construction site i am on my way just treat him well"i sigh feeing releived. i end the call and i go through his files. His name is Theophillus Markins , grandson to Reusell Markins, this makes him a very important person then. I rush to the cafeteria and order them to make light snacks for him. I cant talk to him in my office so i get Tristans spare keys and i head there waiting for his arrival . I sit on the couch and with the time on my hands i reminisce to the good old days.

1YEAR6MONTHS AGO

I remember walking into his office as usual, back when i used to beam with confidence and my smile was actualy real. I put he files on the desk updating him on what needs to be done.

"I have booked your tickes for Orlando sir and i have selected the most comfortable hotel you can get. unfortunately i could not find a morning flight so you will be leaving in the afterrnoon"

"okay so be ready as well , i reckon youre prepared" i look at him confused

"i am sorry sir i do not understand" he looks up from his computer

" Look at the files Meillyn there is a lot that needs to be done and you know everything well so you are coming with me to Orlando"

"i ..... uh sure , excuse me" i slowly walk away from the office and as soon as i close the door i jump excitedly then remind myself where i am before walking back to my office. A trip is what i definetly needed , something that i am not paying for. I mean i will be working but either way its still better than nothing . Noting down the places i have been Orlando was not there and i had not imagined it would be. I have the courtesy of coming back and putting i on my world tour calendar.

Two days later we have arrived and my stoic face could not hide the excitement that was beaming inside my heart. Tristan would make glances at me then smile to himself , knowing he has made me happy. Every moment in Orlando was amazing on our spare time we got to see a lot of nice places. This allowed me to take as many pictures as i can , until that one day. The day i changed my fate unknowingly. We had just got back from another tiresome meeting and i had to attend to Tristans needs before i go to sleep. I knocked on his hotel room .

"come in " he answered tiredly

i got in and unlike me he had finished bathing and was in his pyjamas, its funny even men wear pyjamas

"Mr zelda "

" Tristan , please" he corrects me and smiles

"i will not take much of your time seeing as you have already prepared for your sleep, i just came to tell you your schedule for tommorow, you need to close up the deal with Blue navy and sign a few documents that i have already looked into..." i stop as i notice he is staring at me intently

" Is there something wrong ? "he smiles

"you work hard dont you?" i smile back

"i do what i get paid to do" He sighs stepping closer

"i notice you" he steps closer. my heart beats in my chest

"Mr Tristan"

" sorry am i disturbing something " i am brought back to reality and i almost scream.

"Mr Theophilus! "
