Not Your Average Son-in-law 30. Promise And Fail Sort Of Person.
When James finally sighted Meghan, he buried his head in shame and tried his very best not to look her in the eye. He was certain that she would scold him on how he was a promise and fail sort of person, as he had promised her that he would help her get a deal in the bank by speaking to his connection, but failed to achieve anything reasonable."Harry, I think I would be on my way now," he said, about backtracking out of the door without saying a thing to Meghan. Before Harry could react to his friend's sudden departure, Meghan had rushed into James' arms in a hug."Where do you think you are going?" She said, her voice a cheerful bundle of joy, as her arms tied up around him.James, frightened by what he considered to be mixed signals coming from her, stuttered in his speech, and was about to apologize to her. "Thank you," she said suddenly and certainly. "Thank you for what?" He asked, as confused as ever."Well, have you forgotten what you did?" Asked a perplexed Meghan. "Withou

31. Workplace Violence. Abuse. And Brutality.A day after the beating, and Gavin went back to work, walking by limping with his bruised leg and body. It was painful. And as though that was not enough, the weather itself was unbearable. The sun was high in the sky. The heat seemed to sip in through the wounds and into his bones. As he walked, tears hung to his eyes on standby. "I am not going to let him get away with this," he swore through the pain he was going through. "I promise I am going to make him pay for what he did." But physical pain was not the only thing Gavin was facing. Although he tried to ignore it. His heart too was wrenching on the inside, seemingly almost about to collapse. He could not help but remember the argument he had with Meghan just a few days ago when she saw him lying flat in the living room of their house. Her words, as sharp as a needle, and as cold as ice, still tore through him. The images and words kept on playing in his head, causing him more unt
Not Your Average Son-in-law 32. We Need To Talk, Gavin.
Gavin's mouth was immediately short for words. He felt like there was more he could say, but then decided against it. He was quiet for the first few seconds after Brax had said what he said. He stood still, as though frozen in the coldness of time."Did you hear me, or did you not?" Brax once upon declared quite brashly. "Go to work this instant, or stay here and the next three minutes, lose this job. It seems you have become unable to hear in a matter of seconds.”Nothing to say, Gavin bowed his head and moved on ahead. He found right after he opened the door that Ron the C.S.O was still right there eavesdropping.Their eyes met and as Gavin had expected him to do, he went down to mock him. "Look who just got sent out of the office after trying to report me. You. Can you not see it, Gavin? You are a failure. You better go deliver on that job like the boss have told you to. You know you don't want to disappoint him." Gavin ignored him as expected to. He walked past without sparing
Not Your Average Son-in-law 33. Sunny Café.
Ugh, another person trying to insult him again, Gavin thought, totally unimpressed by the woman's words or behavior."Are you really an employee of the City Express? Why do you look so tattered and beaten up like a bull?" The lady did not seem to want to back down on her repulsive questioning.Well there was nothing Gavin could do about it. He began walking back to his motorbike. But the unrelenting old woman followed him. "Why are you not answering me?" She asked, becoming furious with every step she took towards him, and every step he took away from her.He still gave her no replies. On his mind was only one imperative at the time: meet up with Meghan and find out what she wants to tell you."This is bad customer service. How can you be an employee of City Express? You're unprofessional, you're ugly, and you lack disrespect. Your body is also badly shaped. Don't move any more inches, you scoundrel, or I will call your boss, right here, right now."By that time, Gavin was already on
Not Your Average Son-in-law 34. Gavin And Meghan Meetup.
Gavin was shocked to hear that. His eyes were widened for a minute as he thought to ask why. But he had the feeling that the answer would not have been something he would love to hear."Okay, fine." He agreed. He was far too curious now to back down from it. And he felt good that his wife wanted to talk to him about something. It meant to him that at least she still felt he was dependable enough to tell.It had been a long time standing since she had done that. It had him really gibbering feelings in his guts. And he wanted to keep feeling that way. "Really? You agree to that?" Meghan asked, surprised at his willingness to act that way even at a request she felt to be humiliating and embarrassing."Of course. Anything for you, my love. You can tell me anything you want to tell me. I am here for you."His words pierced her heart. So much so that she began feeling bad for making such a request. She heaved a sigh, looked out of the glass windows for sometime, watching the streets filled

Meghan flushed red with anger, nearly smashing the table with his her hands. The jug in the middle of the table bounced up and down a bit. She only realized herself when she turned her head around and saw that there were people looking at her."What do you mean by that?" She said angrily. "Are you trying to make fun of me, Gavin? Please don't do this to yourself. Please don't. You don't know at all how you look at this instant. I beg of you, Gavin.""What?" Gavin asked rhetorically. "How hard is it to believe that I am the one that made it possible to get the deal."With every word that came out of Gavin's mouth, Meghan would only feel her anger surge up the more. "Will you just shut up?" She demanded angrily. "How can you say that? How could you possibly have gotten me the deal when you literally have nothing?"Gavin did not say a word at this. He couldn’t quite possibly blame her for something he had not told her about before."I know what you are doing, and to be quite frank with
Not Your Average Son-in-law 36. Lying Gavin.
"Okay, if you want me to believe you, give me some form of proof that would allow me to," said Meghan, still hard pressed that her husband kept telling her something she considered to be nothing but a lie. "And what do you want me to tell you, Meghan?" He asked, half his face still covered by his palm, trying to show just how dismayed he was by her suggestions and rhetorics."I don't know. Anything. You are the one making the claims. You should have evidence without me telling you to." Gavin sighed. "I guess that is fair. Let me tell you the name of the President. I am pretty close to him. He is Thomas Winnicks." Meghan rolled her eyes. "Oh lord, Gavin. What do you take me for? Why do you decide to lie to me like I am nothing but a diaper-wearing child in your eyes? Are you not being funny. Are you not ashamed? Who on earth doesn't know Thomas Winnicks? Why would you think you are the only one that knows him? Knowing him does not count for anything. You know that. Stop acting like
Not Your Average Son-in-law 37. A Third Condition.
Silence came and went away in a hurry. What replaced it was an outburst of laughter from Gavin, sitting down on the chair, his head spun back like it was about to fall of any moment, cackling in a hysterical manner. "What? Why are you laughing?" Said an angry Meghan towering over him. She had lost all care of people staring. "Yes," he said, right out of the blue, after having a pause from his hysterical laughter. "Why?" She asked, again. "What the hell do you mean by yes?""I said, yes. I will buy you the ticket to the event. Is that not what you wanted to hear from me? This is it. Yes." Gavin looked her straight in the eye. Meghan was shocked. Her lips were parted for close to two full minutes in total surprise at how relaxed he was, and also that she had just agreed to buy a ticket that cost so much money. She had not expected him to. She was expecting anything other than that. She was even expecting that he would leave the cafe in anger, but there he was, not looking as though

Otto said with a worried tone as he wondered who was calling him again because for the past hours, he had been receiving strange calls from different people and now he just wanted a little bit of peace.“What if it's from the office?” The hacker suggested that was the only possibility he could think of at the time because they had received a call from the kidnappers and he knew that they did not forget any details or information to share."What if it is from those men that threatened me and kidnapped you?"
