Mummy I got you a new husband

KARL’S POV

As I stepped out of my office, Max followed suit. Ryan’s flight had not yet landed, and he was expected to come back to update me on the meetings with the Sonnic and now I couldn’t wait to hear from him as mu home was being robbed. I was furious about it all, but there was not much I could do. My safe contains information that no one should know about, and I neeyd to check to see if anything had happened to it.

” I guess I would have to wait for that details later.” I mumbled to myself as I came out the door. Just now when there was a piece of good news, Sophie had to ruin it with the talks about the robbery.

Sir” my secretary called out as she stood up to walk towards me with an envelope in her hands. It seemed she wanted to talk to me about something important but I was in a haste to leave.

” Reporter Eddy ….”She said but I didn’t let her finish her statement as I continued to walk away. “I would hear all about that later alright.” I mouthed gesturing for her to have a seat and talk to me about it when I got back. I was not in the mood to listen to anything about files and documents and about Eddy too. My house was being robbed!!

“She didn’t even know where the security were” I said to myself as I wondered how a robbery would happen at the house of Karl Rutherford. Adding to the measures in place, I couldn’t understand how my house would have been robbed. It seemed practically impossible.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Still in my thoughts I wondered if it was just a ploy to get me home. “Why would she need me at the house though.” I puzzled in my thoughts wondering if that was what was happening.

“But she could have said what she needed not dragging me home.” I thought again and quickly dismissed the it as I guessed Sophie would be smarter than trying to play an expensive stunt with me. I sighed again as I walked down the stairs.

Max followed me all the way to the garage. ” I am sure this would not be more than you can handle.” He said as we got to the garage reassuring me that since Sophie couldn’t explain how it happened, it might not be very serious. ” The cops should already be there, I guess it’s might be all sorted before you get back home.” He added again.

“Get the car ready!! I need to had home now.” I said to my driver as we got to the garage. I realized that I did not see Eddy as I went down and I wondered where he had gone. ” Couldn’t he wait a moment if it was really important?” I asked myself and concluded he was not a serious about what he had come for. But how could he leave?” I wondered and concluded maybe he had not come to apologise or ask me to drop the suit. ” I rather not bother myself about Eddy” I mumbled as I got into the car. I was about to tell Max to talk to Eddy while i was gone but decided after all Eddy had done, paying the price of a little wait would be just fine, that if he was still around.

Soon enough my mind drifted to the robbery at my house. How my house was robbed I couldn’t fathom. I concluded that Sophie’s was just bad luck. I mean everything had being going wrong since she moved into the house. It has been barely 36 hours since she moved in.

As we drove away, my mind buried in thoughts about what had transpired, I realised our car was not going as quickly as it should. When I peered out the window and realised that we were stucked in traffic, I could not stop my aggravation and agitation.

I looked out of the window, watching the cars in front of us slowly inching forward. The honking horns and impatient shouts filled the air, only adding to my frustration. How could this happen at a time like this? My mind was already clouded with thoughts about Sophie and Eddy, and now being stuck in traffic felt like a cruel joke from fate. I sighed heavily, leaning back into my seat, hoping that this delay wouldn’t make matters worse.

My driver glanced at me through the rearview mirror, sensing my growing impatience. “Don’t worry, sir,” he reassured me. “I know a shortcut that might help us get out of this traffic.”

I glanced at my driver with a glimmer of hope in my eyes. “Please, take the shortcut,” I urged him, willing to try anything to escape this maddening gridlock. He nodded and skillfully maneuvered the car off the main road, onto a narrow side street.

The little side street was dotted with beautiful little buildings, their colourful facades standing out against the dismal traffic gridlock from which we had just fled. As we cruised along the winding road, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. It was as if this diversion represented a fresh start, an opportunity to put all of my worries behind me.

The houses on the side street seemed to have their own stories, each whispering secrets and concealing unknown mysteries. I was drawn to the charm and character of these simple homes, wondering about the lives that unfolded behind their doors. I smiled at the notion of escaping into another world, even if only for a time. Suddenly our car came to a halt.

” What happened?” I asked my driver as I noticed his uneasiness. ” I dnt know Sir, I better check and see.” He answered as he opened the door to get off the car. The timing could not have been worse as I had to go home right away. He lifted the car’s bonnet to inspect it, then he got back in to attempt starting it once more.

“I am sorry boss.” My driver stated as he returned to the car.

“What is this?” Sorry about what exactly? I said agigated since I did not appear to get what he was saying. ” We would need a mechanic to fix the car.” This could not be happening, how could my car develop issues all of a sudden at the middle of nowhere. I sighed deeply, concerned about what to do about everything. I picked up my phone and noticed my battery had gone off.

“Oh no!! What is all of this?” I muttered as I got off the car hoping to get some one to be of help.
