Reporter Eddy
KARL’S POV
” Reporter Eddy sir!!!” She said and all the smiles I had got off my face. ” Why did he have to be at my office at this time?” I questioned myself mumbling as to why he would show up at my office after all he had done.
He was the reporter who had spread the rumors about my divorce with Claire and thanks to Sophie’s intervention the rumors were proven false and I could finally teach that reporter and company a lesson for preying into my life. I wasn’t sure how he found that because when I called Claire and asked about it, she told me she wasn’t aware either. Even though I didn’t want to believe her, I was Claire would not jeopardize our agreement.
” No one dares Karl Rutherford and goes unpunished.” I muttered again and Max noticing my contenance asked me what it was about.
” Guess who is at my office?” I asked him and he looked at weirdly unsure he could guess. I decided to save him the trouble and spill the beans.
” Reporter Eddy.” I mouthed giggling, ” how is he even here? What does he want?” Max asked me perplexed as to why Eddy would should up. ” I am sure he has come to plead for mercy after the lawsuit, I filed against this company.” I responded still giggling. After Sophie’s intervention, I filed a law suit against his company for defamation of character and they had called to plead with me to drop the suit and even fired Eddy but I was determined to see it to the end .
Max laughing heartily responded, ” I guess they would learn their lesson and not mess with you another time. Just as we went on talking, my phone rang. I picked up my phone to check who it was and was amazed as to see who the caller was.
It was Sophie. ” Why was she calling though?” I muttered questioning myself unsure why she would be ringing me at this time. I made sure everything was well taking care of before leaving for the office that morning.
After all that happened the night before, I was not sure I was ready to deal with her as I had barely any sleep thanks to her.
Max gave me a inquiring look when I refused to pick up asking me who it was.
” It Sophie.” I responded turning my face away from the phone to face him.” And after all she did last night I am not sure I am ready to talk to her about anything.” I added. ” What did she do, I am sure it wound not be as bad as you sound.” Max said and I explained what she had put me through the night before.
” I am not sure this contract between Sophie and I would go on for all.” I added after telling Max everything and he asked why, ” Can’t you see the obvious? I asked me and he looked as though he did not still understand what I meant.
“She is hell bent to make my life miserable, imagine on her first day at my house and I couldn’t sleep well. I would just tolerate her for now till I get a new girlfriend and she would be gone, then I can finally tell everyone about the divorce.” I said as I sighed heavily. Max stared at me seeming to wonder why I was so worked up about the issue and burst out laughing. I didn’t seem to understand what was funny about what I said but that was Max reaction to everything. He was never serious and I wondered why we were close.
” You should pick up, it might be important.” Max said still laughing and insisted I picked up, since she was calling repeatedly, “Maybe she needs something.” He added trying hard not to laugh again. He was making an attempt to maintain a straight face, and I could see that.
“She shouldn’t call, I made that evident in the contract and made sure everything was well taken care of.” I said to Max who still insisted I picked up. I reluctantly agreed and picked the call. I observed Sophie’s voice trembling with fear and wondered what had occurred.
” Someone broke into the house.” Sophie said and I wondered how someone would break into my house. ” What do you mean the house was robbed in broad daylight?” I asked her because I didn’t seem to understand who would rob my house with all the security measures I had in place.
As she went on about the robbery, I wasn’t so sure it was real but when she spoke about my safe at the house, I knew I had to call the police immediately and head home.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Is something wrong?” Max asked him as he noticed my contenance and I told him about what the robbery Sophie had told me.
” My house has been robbed.” I said to him and he asked how that was possible. ” You see what I talked about, she had only been in my house for a few moments and my house is getting robbed.” I said to Max and he told me to calm down.
” I am not sure, it’s her fault you got robbed. This things happen you know.” He mouthed. “Really, happen after spending a day at the house. She is just badluck. What have I gotten myself into?” I asked him with a worry look and he asked me not to bother too much about it.
” I need to head home ASAP!!!” I said to Max as I rose up to head home.
” What about Eddy waiting?” He asked me.”My home is being robbed and you want me to think about Eddy now?” I asked him questioning his reasoning. ” How could he think about Eddy at this time?” I mumbled as I walked to the door dialling 911 on my phone.
” Hello, I need the police at my address now, there is a report of a robbery ongoing.” I headed out immediately rushing home to see what was happening.
