” I better hurry up with this files.” Muttering to myself I went on to work on the files as Karl had requested. Karl and I scarcely spoke after the incident with his alleged new girlfriend; I did not want to talk, and Karl did not try to talk to me either.

We did not speak because he felt my anger was unjustified and that he could do anything he wanted since I was not really his wife but despite knowing this, I could not shake the impression of him sleeping with another lady at his office. I deserved some respect or didn’t I?” I asked myself, as the loud moans from the previous day reverberated in my ears as I replayed the memories repeatedly in my thoughts.

Karl failed to comprehend why having a woman at his office was demeaning to me in front of everyone. With the way he operated his company, one would believe he was a brilliant man, but it turns out he wasn’t after all

As I replayed the images, I became further angrier and more upset, and unable to concentrate on my work. “Was he really good in bed?” I wondered. ” Nah. I think she was just trying to irritate me.” I grumbled again as I reflected on that day. I believed she was just faking the moans to make it appear as if she enjoyed Karl more than I did and could have him whenever she wanted.

” Maybe he did want her.” I mumbled, “he slept with her in his office, Sophie.” I said to myself as I debated on Karl’s real intentions. I assumed he was not attracted to me in any way because, other from making passes at me occasionally, which irritated me, he never sought to touch or sleep with me. “Or was I not attractive enough?” I sighed again as soon as I finished the files, and as I stood up to go to Karl’s office, my mind wandered to why I was working for Karl in the first place.

I was in a dilemma. I had requested to come work for Karl because of Ryan, and days had passed now with Ryan not being in the office and when I enquired about him, Karl informed me that he had fired him for reasons I did not understand.

” I need to do something and fast too.” I murmured, realising I only had a few days till Karl’s secretary resumed. I knew I needed to act quickly, devising a method to prevent Karl’s secretary from resuming and a plan to bring Karl back to work because only then would I have that much access to deal with him. Eventually, I decided it was best to talk to Karl about it and then decide on what to do about Karl’s secretary later on.

I was not sure how the conversation would go, but I suppose I needed to talk to Karl to figure out my next step.

I finished organising the files and took a deep breath before proceeding to Karl’s office. As I knocked on the door, my heart raced with anticipation. “Come in,” Karl’s voice called from inside. I stepped into his office, feeling a mix of nerves and determination.

The office was quiet and dimly lit, creating an atmosphere of tension. Karl sat behind his desk, his expression unreadable. I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves.

“Karl, may I have a moment of your time?” I asked, my voice quivering slightly. He looked up from his work, his eyes meeting mine for the first time in days. There was a flicker of surprise in his gaze before it hardened again.

“What is it, Sophie?” he replied curtly. I could tell that he was still angry about my actions towards him since his new girlfriend came around.

“I wanted to talk to you about something important,” I began cautiously. He looked at me with a pinched brow, “Out with it already; I have stuff to do.” He responded forcefully, his voice thick with impatience. His response irritated me, but I was not going to allow my feelings get in the way of getting what I wanted.

“I am sorry for my recent acts against you,” I began, my voice tinged with anger that I tried to suppress, and he turned to face me, seemingly astonished by how I spoke.

“I know my place now, and that is not to question who you choose to be with, I am truly sorry.”

I guess Karl did not expect me to apologise or even talk to him, but I knew what I wanted, and he was not going to stop me from having it. Karl sighed deeply and responded, “I am sorry too, I guess I acted inappropriately too.” He answered, and I wondered if Karl had a side that allowed him to be so vulnerable yet calm.”Is this why you are here?” He enquired.

“No,” I replied, nodding my head. “I brought the files you requested, and I also wanted to talk with you about Ryan.” I said finally.

“What about him?” He enquired. ” I believe we should give him another opportunity.” Karl leaned back in his chair, studying me intently. “Why would you say that? After everything he’s done?”

“He made a mistake, Karl,” I said earnestly. “But we all deserve second chances. And besides, he is really good at what he does.”

A silence hung in the air as Karl considered my words. Finally, he let out a sigh and rubbed his temples tiredly.

“Alright,” he conceded reluctantly. “But this is your responsibility, Sophie. If anything goes wrong again…”

“I understand,” I interrupted quickly. “Thank you for giving him another chance. I will make sure nothing goes wrong.

With that settled, a weight lifted off my shoulders as hope filled me once more. Even while I was aware that encouraging Karl to give Ryan another chance was a risk, it was one worth taking. As I left his office, I felt a burst of determination. With renewed purpose, I went straight to the HR department to start the process of bringing him back.

My plan was finally having headaway, I could not be more excited with the outcome.
