Standing outside the room, he looked like the Chief Executive of the firm and not my husband. He had no expression on his face, no smile, no frown, just the stone-faced expression that one would see on a painting. I did not know what Aaron was feeling right now but I did know that CEO Aaron Cole was unhappy and furious. Today, I would witness the biggest truth of my life and as fearful it was, it was just as exciting. I wanted to know if they were ever in any kind of relationship other than a boss and employee.

I readjusted the curtain to see if anyone entered the room. I always thought these rooms were sound-proof but now I could hear even the tick-tock of the English Wall Clock and my heart was following the sound with its own faster thud-thud. The thud stopped when there was a indistinct knock on the door. Aaron said, "Come In" and the door opened to unveil the woman who had ruined the past few months of my life.

She wore a navy blue shirt and black jeans and black sandals. She looked professional in her long ponytail and white spectacles. Her clothes looked decent and very office-like, nothing that would shout she was hear to seduce the boss. I chewed on my lips while she walked towards Aaron in her swan-like grace. She had almost everything that a man could want: A slim but curvaceous figure, fragile looks, long legs and clean blemish-less oval face. There were no dark circles under eyes whereas I was pretty sure I had them. I did not have a oval face or a curvaceous thin body. With the increase in workload, my body only got skinnier and harder. There was no softness on my face or the other parts of body. I looked like a person who worked hard and worked all day. I had no time or money for facials, or spa. My nails were chipped and my palms looked rough. Looking at her, I could only see the demerits in me and it did not help my situation. 

The tears were thankfully at bay but my anger was not. I knew today was the day I would hit someone, it was either the woman standing outside the door or the man I was trusting again. June was the first to break the silence, "Hello Mr.Cole, Is there any work?"

Aaron continued to look at her and said very blatantly, "Do you like me June?"

I was surprised at his question but my shock was a complete understatement to what June looked like. She just stared at him and stared at him some more. She did not look like a woman who was in a relationship with the man standing before her but instead, she looked like she had been hit by a truck. It was shock, okay? A full blown-kind of shock. 

"I... I ? Um... Why?" She stammered. I did not feel my hands when they came to rest on my mouth to stop the trembling. I also did not feel the tear, which were until now 'at bay', coming out of my eyes.

"I want to know if you like me? If you ever envisioned a future with me? If I ever in my life made you think like that?" Aaron said calmly, very calmly for June to be even be suspicious about the conversation.

"Yes, I do" She said looking straight in his eyes. I did not want her to look in his eyes, it felt like she was stealing something very precious. He was doing the same, which made me grit my teeth. I cursed and bite my lip when I realized I was just being a jealous bitch.

"Yes, I like you. I like you since the moment I first saw you. But I envisioned a future with you only when your wife, sorry ex-wife left you."

Bitch. Bitch. The Bitch was lying!

Aaron did not speak for a few moments, then he nodded his head and said, "What about the third question?" When she just frowned, he said, "Did I ever made you think like we have a future?"

She frowned harder, "Why are you asking..."

Aaron shouted, "Answer me now"

She backed a few steps before saying, "No Aaron.. You never.."

"Its Mr. Cole to you. Its ..." he stopped and turned in my direction. Running his hands on his hair, he said, "You have two options now: I throw you out of the company after you tell me the complete truth about what you told my wife or I make this matter public and destroy your future if you hide even a single detail."

That was when June realized Aaron knew everything and was very furious. When she started shivering, Aaron slapped the desk hard, making the laptop and other things on the desk bump and jostle against each other. He shouted, "Talk."

Even I, who was standing inside the room, shivered from the loud sound.

"I .. I am sorry Aar...Mr. Cole. I told her you wanted a divorce. I am sorry.." She told about everything she did, the messages, the caller tune, the divorce papers she sent and several other small things which both I and Aaron did not notice.

I continued looking at Aaron had turned his head again and was not looking at either June or me. He was looking outside the window of cabin, looking resigned and lost. When June stopped speaking, he said, "Leave the company. Your salary will be transferred to your account. Never show me your face again"

"But.."

When she received no reply, she ran out of the room. I wanted to be violent then, I wanted to follow her, catch her and then slap her hard on the face for doing what she did. But I did not have any energy. I realized how easy it was for her to break my marriage. How easy - just one message and I left without turning back. I had my other reasons but I should have asked Aaron. We should have talked, we should have cleared our doubts, we should not have wasted six months of our life because of a misunderstanding. Lack of trust on both sides could be bad and our relationship was the living proof of that. 

I opened the door to Aaron's room and went towards him. He probably did not hear my footsteps because he did not turn. I waited then realizing that I was 'waiting' again, I threw my arms around him and kissed his back. It was all it took and he was turning, picking me up, placing me on his desk and kissing me with all his heart. Aaron was fast and sometimes extravagant, which was why he did not even blink before throwing all the things on his desk to the carpeted floor. I felt really bad for the Mac which fell with a loud thud. When I didn't kiss him back, Aaron noticed my attention was on his Mac. He rolled his eyes upwards, laughed and kissed me again, completely taking me by surprise.
