Marriage and Annulment

Then I saw Vienna enter the cafeteria. When Duke waved at her, she returned the smile, but she didn’t even look at me. I know she really avoids me. And I’m not numb to feeling it.

“Will you eat?” Duke asked.

“Yes, but that’s where I’ll eat in my classroom,” Vienna replied.

Join us here. Since it’s not yet the time, “said Duke.

“That’s it. I really still have a lot to do, ” Vienna replied.

Don’t you want Zander and me anymore? And then I noticed earlier that you were not talking to Zander. Do you have a problem with him? ” Duke asked.

Duke is the kind of person who will really say what he is noticed by fellow teachers, even outside of school. He does not know what the words “privacy” mean.

“Nothing. Why would Zander and I have a misunderstanding? We are not friends. Except he’s a teacher like me. Excuse me. ” Vienna said as she exited the cafeteria.

I noticed Duke’s head shaking.

“She is really angry with you. She never used to be like that. Suddenly, she liked that she didn’t notice you, “said Duke.

Let her go first. You will really say what you think, ” I said.

I’m curious. Is it bad to ask? ”

It’s not bad for you to ask, but respect the silence of others. I said.

“Someone is waiting for you outside.” Duke pointed outside.

“Who?”

“Look,” said Duke.

And I looked again, and I saw Davianna standing outside the dining room.

My forehead wrinkled. What else does this woman need from me? Is she numb? I told her I would never court her again.

“Wait a minute, Duke, I’ll talk to her first.” I told him.

I stood up and walked out.

“What do you need, Davianna?” I asked her as I approached where she was standing.

“You are being visited. Aren’t you happy to see me? ” She asked me

I smiled mentally.

“Look, Davianna, don’t expect it. I’ve already ceased courting you. And I already have a girlfriend. So avoid going here. ” I said.

It fell silent and suddenly sighed.

“Seriously? I hope you two last a long. But I’m sure tomorrow or the day after tomorrow you will also separate. ” She said, smirking.

I am back inside the dining room with a frown. She pissed me off. She didn’t have the right to say those things.

“What did she say?” Duke asked.

“She just seemed to visit me.” My answer.

“Maybe she missed your courtship as well,” Duke said.

“Stupid! Maybe her face is too thick when she doesn’t stop following me, ” I said.

“Yes, what else does he need from you if he already has another man? She is a two-timer. Maybe she wants two men in her life. ” Duke shook his head.

“Let’s go. I’m done paying. ” Duke told me to walk back to school together.

When we got inside, we entered our class room one by one. I woke up to a knock on my bedroom door. I get up when my eyes are wrinkled. I opened the door and the Genie’s face opened up to me. Here we slept at Genie’s house. I don’t know why they are all still here when, in fact, they have houses.

“I’m sorry, Miss, I woke you up from your sleep. But Captain Celso had been waiting for a while. He needs something from you. ” said Genie.

“Okay, I will follow. I still need to get dressed and take a bath, ” I said, and closed the door, leaving Genie.

I quickly took a shower and got dressed. It’s embarrassing that Mang Celso has been waiting for a while. I left the room and walked to the balcony of the house. Only Genie I saw was in front of Mang Celso.

“Where are they?” I asked.

“They all go home, Miss.” She answered.

I just nodded.

“Good morning, Mang Celso, I’m sorry I slept too much. I’m really tired. ” I said, with a smile.

He is with a woman who I think is his wife. The woman smiled at me. I reciprocated with a smile.

“It’s okay, ma’am. No problem.”

He gave me a document that he put in a brown envelope.

“Is everyone here yet?” I asked.

“Yes ma’am.”

“Are you going to the city now?” I asked.

“Yes.”

“All right, I’ll call my assistant first to go straight.”

I picked up my phone and called Randolf.

In the three rings he had not yet answered. Where is he?

I called him again. It’s good to answer.

“Where have you been? I’ve been calling you. ” I told him.

“I ate breakfast, Miss, and I left my phone in the room,” said Randolf.

“Okay.”

“Do you have a problem there?” he asked me.

My eyes rolled. Every time I call, he always asks if I have a problem with it. How I wish I had a brother.

“Nothing, Randolf, I’d rather live here,” I replied.

“It’s good that way because I’m the only one with the company and your wealth here,” Randolf replied.

” It’s also possible if you can deal with the habits of the boards and investors there,” I said with a laugh.

“No way!” Randolf replied.

He does not want to be left behind in the company when there are investors who come, especially when they need too much explanation about the company. He is more prepared to take down notes when I speak. Rather than him speaking in front,

“Actually, someone’s going to be there with the company. You’re the one to talk to him. ” I said.

“No way! Come home so you can talk to whoever it is. ” Randolf’s complaint.

“Easy, Randolf, he’s not an investor or something you have to be afraid of. He’s the barangay captain here. He needs a sponsor for their place. funds for the project they’re going to build. ” I said.

“All right, I’ll take care of him.” Randolf replied.

“Did you breathe easily?” I joked with him.

“Of course!” I’m laughing.

“Go ahead.” I said, lowering the phone at once.

Then I face Mang Celso again.

“Everything is settled, Mang Celso. I’ll just text him to have the company driver pick you up at the terminal so you can get there easily. ” I said.

“Thank you, Ma’am, we’re leaving.”

They both nodded and left. I sat down next to Genie.

“Miss, are you hungry already? Dad and mom left. So they cooked you breakfast, “said Genie.

“Thanks, where did they go?”

“The truth of the matter is that we have a shop, vegetables and meat. So they left early to keep an eye on it, “he replied. Are you an only child? I will ask.

“There are five of us. But all four of them are married. And they have separated. They are all in another place. I am the youngest and only girl.

” Seriously? What’s the feeling that you’re the only woman? ” I asked.

“It’s not fun, Miss. They’re making noise. They’re always fighting. And then it’s frustrating because there are a lot of guards when I have a date, “said Genie.

“That’s better; you’re always safe,” I said while smiling.

“Yes, Miss, so then no one really dared to do anything bad to me. Because I will definitely hang out tomorrow. When I’m alone, they won’t be angry because they know they will follow me, “said Genie.

“It’s really fun when there are so many of you at home,” I said.

“Yes, I really missed them all. I couldn’t visit her because I was too busy with work. ”

Then the gate opened and eight of them entered.

“You’re not dressed yet?” Lazzy asked.

“It’s early to leave.” My response.

“It’s better early, Miss, because the sun wasn’t high.”

They were each carrying a backpack and a tumbler filled with water. And I noticed a girl with them. Which child’s is that? Will you take that with you?” I asked.

“My niece, my brother’s daughter, Miss, and her mother went to the city, so I was the first to watch, “said Laica.

“Should we take her on our hike?” I asked.

“Yes, she’s used to walking here in the province.” Laica replied.

“Seriously? It doesn’t seem obvious because the complexion is rich. And that boy is so beautiful, ” I said.

“Thank you for appreciating my beauty. You too, you’re beautiful too. ” The child’s answer caused us all to laugh.

“Thank you, darling. Come in here first, ” I said.

“Actually, that kid daddy is American, ma’am,” Genie replied.

“That’s why, when you don’t want to get married, there are popular dating sites where you can chat with American people. Just get pregnant. Somehow you have a child of a different breed, ” I said.

Really, Miss? You’re good at giving advice. You’re really good at being single, ” Lazzy replied.

I was frustrated.

“You really haven’t found a man who will love you. After all, you already have everything. You can only shower us with grace and beauty, “said Laica.

Anytime, really. Laica really has a lot to say. I’m laughing. True, I’ll just leave it.

“Do you know that I also ask myself that sometimes? What’s wrong with me? Didn’t even go through the men who knew me to court me? ” I said.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

They all laughed.

“Please don’t come to the point where you just beg for love, Miss. What a waste of your beauty.” Hannah joked.

“Seriously, Hanna? Are you really the one who speaks? I just only know that I heard your voice. ” I joked with her.

“She’s inspired, Miss, because…” Lucy said.

It’s refreshing because they just now joked with me. They are very quiet. “Shut up!” said Hannah.

“Really why?”

And the other girls were waiting for what Lucy would say next.

“Miss, Hannah has a suitor.”

“Who else?” Genie asked.

“The employee of your company, Miss, His name is Mark Alonzo,” said Lucianna.

“You really all of you are gossipers!” Hannah’s shout made us all laugh.

I am not very familiar with all my employees. But I know Mark Alonzo, the man in the accounting department. That man is handsome but very shy.

“Ah, miss, isn’t there any news that Mark is flirting with his office mate?” Hannah asked me seriously.
