Mr. President’s Wife (English)

“Do you know each other?” Jayson was still confused.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Eloisa had already left after she slapped them. They were left with a strong slap on both of their cheeks. They were stunned. It was as if a strong wind blew them into both of their ears.

Eloisa only stopped when she noticed more people were watching her and they questioned her for being brutal and merciless to the two men.

The things she hears about her and people’s accusations are bad. She left in a hurry after giving everyone who was making chaos a bad look.

Chris first asked Jayson to get away from the people who were still making chaos.

Until now the people who gathered because of what happened to them can’t be exhausted.

The two left the restaurant.

They are nearing their office. When Jayson opened up about what they were talking about and what he asked his friend.

“Let’s go to your office.” Chris simply answered. He started to get on the elevator.

He noticed that some people’s eyes were following them. So Chris asked Jayson to go first to his office so they could talk.

He didn’t want someone to hear what they were talking about.

Chris thought will start noise and chaos in the whole office once someone hears what they talk about.

“Nica, please enter my office first.” Eloisa hurriedly called on the intercom. Bad trip.

She is also panicking except that she is still shivering and shaking from the force of her nervousness.

Nica peeked at the door when she noticed. “Come in” she uttered softly. Tears rolled down her eyes.

“What happened?” Nica asked as she got closer. Tears were falling in Eloisa’s eyes. She couldn’t stop them from falling.

“Did something happen?” Nica sat down in the chair across from Eloisa. She had just come from Eloisa’s father’s office to deliver the papers Mr. Scotch needed after calling her and ordering her to bring some documents to his office.

Nica did not notice Eloisa’s arrival. She thought it wasn’t there yet. Because if Eloisa ever returns to her office, she will be called immediately and Eloisa will report what happened at her meeting as ordered by her father.

Nica was surprised because it took so long for Eloisa to come back after facing the person whom her father ordered her to meet.

Nica blinked and frowned. “Eloisa, I’m asking you if something happened to you. Why don’t you speak instead of crying there and being silent without saying what happened in your meeting.”

“We met him again,” she sobbed.

Her voice was hoarse from the tears that kept falling.

Her face lifted to look at Nica.

“We met him again,” she repeated what she said.

Nica couldn’t understand her.

It was vague for Nica and couldn’t understand what she was saying.

All her past is still heavy on her.

Eloisa fully thought that she would forget everything after she left the country for a few years.

Eloisa left the country to study. That’s what she excused to her dad after her heart was broken.

She was hurt too much thinking that Chris loved her back then and that he would choose her after she confessed her feelings to Chris and ask him to choose between her and his girlfriend.

Eloisa’s world fell apart after she heard Chris’ answer. “I can’t leave her, especially since she’s carrying our future child. I’m sorry if I knew from the beginning that you can love me too. I wish I hadn’t fallen for her and looked for someone else. I wish I had waited for you… Eloisa.”

Eloisa couldn’t even look at Chris’s face.

Chris even grabbed both of her cheeks to lift her face and look into her eyes while they seriously talked.

Eloisa avoids making eye contact with Chris.

She could not look and stare at Chris’s face. It was as if she was being swallowed by her self-pity because of the thought that she would hear from Chris’ mouth that she was choosing him over his girlfriend.

Eloisa did not know that Chris’s girlfriend was pregnant when Eloisa found out about the relationship between the two.

More intense pain enveloped her and shame of her delusions.

She hid in another country for several years while healing her broken and heartbroken heart.

In other countries, she doesn’t have anyone to trust. Same with all her boyfriends. Only two. But those two were her boyfriends for a while. Her relationship with those two didn’t last long either. Her attitude is too dark. Eloisa was very choked by their behavior.

The behavior of the two men who passed through her life was worse than her behavior. They are also Filipinos.

“Who? Who is he/she?” Nica handed Eloisa a tissue. “Stop crying. Wipe your tears.”

Eloisa took the tissue. She wiped her tears from her face and took a few deep breaths. her tears barely stopped falling.

Eloisa returned to their office very quickly.

Eloisa cursed while she was on board in her car. Her driver hurriedly drives. It scared Eloisa.

“Chris,” said Eloisa in her whispering voice.

“Chris?” Nica murmured repeating while she was surprised by what she heard. “Where did you meet?” she asked as the story came back to her about her friend Eloisa and the architect that Eloisa has worked with on a project when her father build a condominium.

“At the restaurant,” answered Eloisa, still wiping tears from her eyes. She was still hurt. She didn’t want to see him anytime the man she first loved.

“That idiot that hurt my heart.” mumbled

Then she saw Chris with the person who stole her virginity. She felt like… “Grrr!” shouted.

She is annoyed.

She was too problematic.

Embarrassed.

Because of that incident when she met them again.

She wanted to drown if there was a flood of water in the restaurant.

In the end, she chose to be tough while facing the two rather than showing that she was embarrassed and ashamed of herself.
