Jeremy touched his bleeding mouth glaring at Jordan
“I said where is she? Where is my wife,” Jordan sneered and punched him again
He staggered back and fold his fist angrily but then he remembered that his brother is sick, fighting Jordan will only make him lose his job and he don’t want that
He gritted his teeth and made to walk away when Jordan grip his collar and sent punches to his face, he tried fighting him off but he continues punching till Jeremy lost it and punched him back
Just then Mr. Benson came in, he was informed about the situation so he has to come and settle the fight, he looked at Jeremy and then at Jordan
“Who is this guy?” He asked looking around till his eyes landed on Margaret who was just coming in with Bruce
“Oh, my what happened?” Margaret asked no one in particular seeing how badly Jeremy’s face was bleeding
“Who is this guy?” Mr. Benson asked again now staring at Margaret
“He’s the new cleaner sir,” she replied with her head bowed
“You’re fired,” he said and turned to live but Jeremy rushed to him immediately
“Sir please, I will never try that again, please I need this job,” he pleaded
“You should have thought of that before fighting your boss’s husband, get him out of my sight,” Mr. Benson added and the security went over to him
“Don’t touch me, just because am poor? He punched me first, can’t you see my face?” Jeremy yelled
They grabbed him and threw him outside, and everyone just watch without doing anything, shortly after Margaret went outside to see him leaning on a car
“Hey, are you alright?” She asked gently
“How can I be alright when I just lost the job that will pay for my brother’s medical bill, I can’t even buy food for my sister,” he said and rough his head
“Am sorry, but why did you Punch Jordan?” She asked
“That crazy dude punched me first, he punch me more than twice and I couldn’t take it anymore, besides I didn’t know that he was my boss’s husband, I h@ťě all rich people… She has a husband and yet she made me do what I didn’t want to do, now look where it lead me, and to say that she even pushed me out like I was nothing,” he said, she could see the anger in his eyes
“Calm down okay? But what did you do? Did you know where she is?” She asked and he nodded
“There is a room in her office, she’s in there, and to say that she made me f-__-k her when she has a husband isn’t that crazy,” he said and Margaret arched her brow
“Are you kidding?” She asked
“Did I look like I am?” He replied rudely
“I mean it’s been three years now and she always avoids men, even her husband hasn’t touched her but she allowed you to, was she drunk or something?” Margaret said and he rolled his eyes
“As if I care, I just lost my job,” he said and stood
“Don’t worry I will talk to her and you will get your job back,” Margaret replied and he looked at her
“What about that man? Who is he?” He asked
“That’s Mr. Benson, the CEO of A.B.C,” she replied gently
“What’s A.B.C?” He didn’t help but asked
“A for Adel, B for Benson, and C for Catherine, Catherine is Adel’s mother but she’s not here,” she replied and he nodded
“I should go see my brother,” he said and she nodded
“Need a ride? I can drop you off,” she said but she shook his head negatively
“I will be fine,” he replied and she nodded
She brings out a card from her purse and hands it over to him
“That’s my card, call me tomorrow,” she said and he nodded and left
Bruce just stood in a corner watching them till Jeremy left, he fold his fist angrily when they shook hands

MIDNIGHT*
Adel was on the rooftop watching the beautiful view of the city when Jordan approach her, she was lost in thought that she didn’t know when he came close to her
“Hey,” he said and she flinched and hold her chest
“You scared me, what are you doing here?” She asked staring at him
“I went to your room but you weren’t there so I have to look for you all around the house till I find you here,” he replied and she nodded
“Why are you looking for me?” She asked and he smiles
“You’re my wife,” he replied and she looked away
“You should go to bed,” she said but he went closer
“Why are you up so late,” he asked
“I will go to bed now,” she replied and made to walk away but he blocked her
Is he high or something? He better not try anything funny.
“I want to show you something…
“Not Interested,” she cut in
“Trust me you will like it,” he said and hold her waist
She didn’t say anything as she just watch him
“Raise your leg a little,” he said and she did just what he said
“If this is what am thinking then I will not take it lightly with you?” She said and he chuckled
“Relax and raise your other leg,” he said and she shook her head negatively
“I will fall,” she replied and he laughed
They were now standing at the edge of the roof with her right leg in the little block hanging on the rooftop, if she stand there with her other leg she will fall
“Just do it you will not fall,” he replied and she reluctantly agreed and raise her other leg
“Close your eyes and spread your arms, then imagine that you’re flying,” he added and she did as she was told he wrapped his hand around her waist so that she won’t fall
“Now open your eyes,” he said and she did
“Wow, am flying,” she said with a smile
“Told you,” He asked
He hold her like that as the wind blew on them, her hair was shiny and he couldn’t help but admire her, he was lost staring at her that he nearly forget that she was standing at the edge of the roof
“Jordan,” she shouted when she noticed that his hand around her waist has loosen and she nearly falls
He quickly pulled her back making her hand land on his chest, their faces were so close, they stare at each other for some time before he started leaning in
He was about to kiss her when she turns to her head to the left side and he kissed her cheeks instead
“I should go to bed,” she said and left him standing there
Jordan just watched her leave without saying anything, and shortly he went down also
