His Redemption

Suspended

Taking two steps backwards she screamed first.

Then she came closer when she realized it was not an intruder but her beloved husband.

"What happened to you? " she asked as she went closer to him.

Barely getting a word out he grumbled some profanities before stagerring his way to the bathroom.

"Humph, maybe you can take care of yourself," she said as she walked towards her side of the bed and went to bed with a smile on her face.

The next morning...

Alarm ringing.

With a banging bloodied face Richard jolted from the floor looking at the side of the table in the bathroom the clock showed 8:30 a.m. Meaning he was late for work already.

"Jesus Christ," he said as he got up trying to get himself together.

"Liana? Baby I need your help" he called out and got to response.

"Maybe she is downstairs," he thought.

"Conceivably she was making some tea for his hang" he slowly got himself off the floor to clean himself up.

He tried to remember what had happened at the bar last night but everything was a cute blur image of what he thought.

After taking a bath he went to the bedroom it showed Liana had taken her bath and had gone out leaving the bed unmade but that was not one of the problems he just wanted to get to work.

Rushing down the stairs he was met with the mess of yesterday's dinner still on the table and a bowl of mixed pancakes that had gone wrong.

Showing that Liana wanted to make some pancakes and failed woefully so she left everything in a messy state.

"I'll take care of that later" he mumbled to himself.

Looking at his phone Chris had called a few times so Richard was sure to receive a query letter when he got to work.

Rushing out only to realize his car was not in the driveway, in his anger he took out his phone and dialed his wife's number.

"Hi baby" Liana answered in a happy voice but he wasn't cut out to get that.

"Where is my car? " he asked not minding what seemed to be her nicest tone.

"Oh, that was harsh it is here with me" she replied nonchalantly.

"What do you mean it is with you, what happened to your car Liana? " he asked.

"I sold it and I thought for the time being I should use yours, you can commute to work right? " she asked.

"You've got to be kidding me you realized I am late for work? " he asked but only got the beeping sound signaling she ended the call.

Finally, Richard got to work at 10 a.m. dishevelled sweaty, and looking like a mess.

He tried to sneak into his office but unbeknownst to him, Chris had seen him from his window as he had turned his chair to face the view of the company's garage.

"Tell Mr Evans, my office now! "

There was no shooting but Chris's voice held an authority that made the secretary not waste one more minute in conveying his message.

"Sir Evans Mr. Llewellyn would like to see you in his office now" the secretary made him aware.

"Ou shit! Now I've to hear what that 'peepsquit' has got to say" Richard braces himself for what was to come in Chris's office.

"Good morning Mr Chris, I have a very good explanation for my lateness today, you see_"

"Enough of your explanation I don't need it, this minute you will clear your desk and go you've been suspended till further notice," Chris said barely lifting his head from the laptop before him.

"What... Please Sir I won't be able to cope till further notice I beg of you, I promise to be early tomorrow and the days that follow" Richard said with confusion and almost in tears as he heard the words till further notice.

"I have said what I want to say now leave my office at once for I have some work to get back to" Chris replied to his plea.

Stagger ing Richard went out of the office, he yelled a frustrating sound which echoed the halls causing everyone to look at his direction everyone who saw him clear his desk to leave could only imagine if he was sacked or he had been sent home for sometime.

Richard knew for a fact that till further notice could never come or the other way round meaning he had no job.

He had been lavishly using his money and too foolish to save.

Just when he was about to get down the step to where he usually packed his car he remembered he didn't bring it to work today thanks to the cause of his misery Liana.

"I am going to kill that bitch today " he said in anger as he kicked the tires of one of the vehicles and it began to alarm causing him to shift while yelling back at the vehicle.

"Nonsense" was what he said as he took out his phone to call for an under but remembered his good friend Goerge could take hum home or maybe for a drink to calm his nerves for he deserved it.

"Ehm, hi Goerge there's a situation and I need you to come get me from my office.

"Be right there in 20" Goerge replied as he was around the corner anyway.

"You say what happened? "George asked as they drove off.

"I say Liana is the worst person I have ever met, she caused my being late today and now I am suspended till further notice" he explained.

"And that Chris sitting on my sit controlling over three different companies thinks he can humiliate me " he continued.

"Well I think he can humiliate you remember he is higher than you and your company is indebted to him so yea he is higher than you" Georeg said taking a turn.

"Man, who's side are you in? " Richard asked in anger as he could sense his friend not supporting him.

"The side which is right man, I thought you took the koan yesterday to start up a business what is up where did you keep the money? "

"Long story, Liana wanted to go for an all oaid girls trip and somehow I gave into her that's why I needed the loan" he explained.

"You did what? " how could you do that Richy, £2000 is enough to start up something small and grow it yet you took for pleasure? How do you intesn paying back £3000 with no job and business? " George asked in a disappointed tone.

"I'll figure out a way trust me" he answered as he oanicjed a bit remembering the loan from the day before.

"As always you think your handle it, I hope you know quite well the Loaner doesn't like people who default his payment and remember he is a powerful man who doesn't play with his money" Goegr reminded him which caused him to panic even more because his parents could barely afford to support him at this point and where was he going to have the money?

"Hey man just trust me I got this" he replied.

"No you don't got this" his mind rang.

"Could we go to a bar, I want to get wasted" Richard said.

"On your bill I guess? " George asked.

"Ou come one Gorege ill pay you back man, we've been friends since kindergarten don't do this to me" he declared.

"Okay fine ill hold you to your word" Goeteg said as they entered the bar and had a sit and ordered their drinks.

As Richard turned to the side he saw a man and woman entered and he couldn't believe his eyes.

It was his wife Liana all wrapped up on the many arm all lovey dovey.

"Liana! " his voice roared causing her to stop in her tracks and she got wide eyes with fear as she began to try and say something but the last thing he could remember was seeing her on the ground from the slap he had given to her and now he was behind the counter.
