Mummy I got you a new husband

KARL’S POV

“Sophie is unbelievable.”. I grumbled as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the office and saw Sophie. I did not believe she would be right by my office after what had happened. She was simply dressed and on engrossed on the phone call she was making.

I averted my gaze as as soon as she noticed me staring. I fake focusing on my phone while I stared at her with my side eye.

I hoped she did not cause a scene at the entrance because of her similarities to Claire. She was simply dressed so the similarities would be mildly noticed. I ignored her as I gave instructions for her to be sent away from the premises and headed to my office, I had a lot of files to attend too and I was not going to let Sophie issue bother me.

I was contemplating calling her but had decided as I did not want to have anything to do with her just yet. I had determined to make her come begging for the offer and was going to come up with an excuse for the reasons why I did not bring my wife with me to the party that evening.

” I was done with her tandums” I said again as I turned to my phone, and I realised that marrying Sophie as soon as possible was my only choice after responding to a few messages. However, even if I were to consider getting married, I would give her a hard time for refusing my offer.

I had made sure her landlord locked her out of the house when she refused me to punish her. Sophie was going to beg for another chance I was certainly going to make sure of that. I chuckled again, knowing what I had done, and I was pleased.

Soon enough the car came to a halt at the parking lot and I got down and headed for my office.

“Get me the files from Viscon.” I said to my secretary who was already busy at her desk when I arrived.

” Alright sir” she responded and motioned to pick the file as she followed me into the office. She handed the files and left my office and I soon got busy with the day’s work.

” She would sure know better now.” I muttered as I trying to wave off Sophie’s thought off my mind as I proceeded with the day’s work.

I was engrossed with work when the telecom rang. It was my secretary calling. I picked up the phone reluctantly as I was busy with work. I needed to finish with the files before the end of the day and it was almost time.

” You should check your phone sir, there is something you should see.” She said and I picked up my phone. I noticed a ton of messages and notifications and I wondered what was going on.

The CEO of Vinnas Mr Thompson had dropped a message and I rushed to check it. He had invited me for the dinner the night before to seal the deal that evening. I wondered if it was a reminder for the party that evening.

” I dnt think we would be doing business with you anymore. You should know my concept about family.” Mr Thompson only did business with the married folks owning to his past only few people knew about.

His father had left his mother while he was younger to cater for him and his siblings. Growing up was rough and his mother died just after putting him through school and it made him to be so strict about family. He believed men without families were irresponsible.

I wondered why he would send such a message when I was a family man. No one knew about my divorce with Claire. I was sure of that, we had both agreed to keep it a secret.

I rushed to check the headlines and it was buzzing with my divorce with Claire. I noticed Claire had also messaged.

I knew what it was about and when I did check, she did not surprise me. us. Claire had dropped a ton of messages nagging me about how I did not keep to my end of the deal.

” What is wrong with you Karl? Why is the divorce all over the headlines? I knew you would not keep your end of the deal, be sure to send me the balance.” I shook my head as I read her message outloud. Claire was all about money and she did not hide it. I had to pay her monthly to keep it quiet and we had an agreement I would pay her for damages if it got disclosed to the media from my end.

I was sure I had not disclosed my divorce to anyone aside Max and Claire father and I trusted they would not have betrayed me

” How is this even possible? It was supposed to be a secret. I muttered as I strolled through my phone. i could not believe the mess the divorce was creating and I pondered on my next line of action.

As I wondered in my thoughts how the media would have gotten a hold of the news Max walked into my office to talk about the issue he had seen the headlines and had come to inform me the press were out at the entrance of the office.

” What do I do about this mess?” I asked Max who stood in awe as we thought about what to do.

” But how did this get out?” Max asked and I wondered how he expected me to have that information.

” How do you expect me to know that?, I am as confused as you are.” I responded and soon enough an idea came into my mind.

” I know exactly what to do” I mumbled outloud and Max asked me what it was about. I did not want to tell him just yet so I packed my stuff’s and headed down to the entrance.

I was done with the activities of the day and needed to pick my son.

I hoped Sophie would be downstairs, I had told the security to send her out because I did not want a scene but I hope that she stayed because I needed her to make all of this a success.

Max stared at me suspiciously as I packed my stuff’s. I was sure my plan was going to workout.
