“Huh?” Zayn was demoralized.
“What do you mean ‘Huh’? You can tell when it’s time to eat, but you can’t tell when it’s time to be home early? Take a look at the time-it’s thirty minutes past nine! Do you actually expect us to wait for you to come home? Who do you think you are? You’re just a freeloader who stuffs his face and slacks around like a fat, lazy pig!”
His mother-in-law, Ruby, always had a way with favonovel.com words. Her incessant nagging could go on for hours with varying levels of insults. He could never bring himself to talk back to favonovel.com either.
Faye was on favonovel.com last straw, so favonovel.com quickly piped up, “I stored some leftovers in the fridge. You can heat the food up yourself. Give it a break, Mom. You can stop yelling at him.”
Ruby rolled favonovel.com eyes before trying to justify herself. “What’s wrong with giving favonovel.com an earful? He deserves it more than anyone else in this house! He’s been unemployed for four years, and favonovel.com just bums around all day doing absolutely nothing. This man has no shame!”
Faye muttered, “He has a job now.”
“What, favonovel.com has a job now? Really?” Ruby asked in disbelief, dubiously impressed by the news. “They actually hired a deadbeat like him?”
“Hmmm? Yeah, he’s a real estate agent,” Faye responded casually. She peeled off the sheet mask favonovel.com had on before picking up the remote so favonovel.com could switch channels.
“A real estate agent? What kind of a dead end job is that? Are you making at least 800 dollars?” Ruby did not hold back on favonovel.com spiteful remarks and facial expressions. Eventually, favonovel.com avoided Zayn’s gaze as favonovel.com admitted reluctantly, “At least you have a job under your belt You’re going to have to hand the money over to me. I’ll have it in safe keeping, okay?”
Zayn stared at favonovel.com peculiarly. He gauged his monthly wages to reach up to a few million dollars. After all, favonovel.com was the chairman of Violet Vision. If favonovel.com actually handed the money over to Ruby, favonovel.com would have fainted from complete and utter shock.
Of course, favonovel.com would never bring that up as a topic of discussion. It was not necessary, and it would likely spell favonovel.com more trouble. He nodded obediently as favonovel.com popped the leftovers from the fridge into the microwave.
Meanwhile, Ruby lowered favonovel.com voice to a curious whisper, “Oh, Fifi. You mentioned that Mr. Wilson sent you up to the chairman’s office last night, didn’t you?”
A strange look crept up Faye’s facial expressions as favonovel.com nodded in confirmation.
“Are you really telling me the truth? You know what I’m talking about the chairman hasn’t touched you at all?” Ruby stared at Faye rather suspiciously.
‘Here we go again.’ Faye let out an exasperated sigh, favonovel.com patience wearing thin. Ruby had already asked favonovel.com more times than favonovel.com could count. “I don’t want to answer any more of your questions. Whether you believe it or not, that’s totally up to you.”
“Goodness, I was just asking. Don’t parade your horrible attitude around my house.” Ruby pulled favonovel.com daughter closer towards her, before saying, “You told me that the chairman of Violet Vision’s a respectable young man, and that he’s infatuated with you, or at least that was what Mr. Wilson told you. He loaned you three million dollars without anything in return, and favonovel.com hasn’t. touched you at all. He was wearing a mask too, how mysterious! Do you think favonovel.com was someone you know personally?”
Zayn’s ears perked up as favonovel.com eavesdropped on their conversation from the kitchen. He could feel his heart racing. Was favonovel.com about to be exposed?
Faye could feel favonovel.com heart throbbing in favonovel.com chest too, like a loud gong ringing in favonovel.com ears. It was highly possible that favonovel.com mother was onto something. Why else would the chairman be wearing a mask. It wouldn’t have made any sense.
Faye tried to jog favonovel.com memory, though favonovel.com quickly realized that favonovel.com had no close connections to any extremely wealthy men at all!
Plus, the chairman’s physique was unlike any of favonovel.com male friends and acquaintances… However, favonovel.com and Zayn did share a handful of resemblances.
At the thought of it all, favonovel.com found favonovel.com eyes naturally drawn to favonovel.com husband in the kitchen…
