Black marriage - Season 1 - Episode 4

Jessica noticed that he was throwing her words back at her and it made her even angrier. “This is the worst marriage ever. No wonder you had me sign a contract to marry you, no woman would marry such a self-centered man”.

Andy’s face transformed before her eyes and she wanted to run but her stubborn nature made her stand where she was, returning his glare with equal measure. He grabbed her hand fiercely and all her courage seeped out of her, leaving her with dread. “I guess that makes us the same. You also accepted this contract because of personal gain so think twice about calling someone else names”.

He was gone before she could even blink and she leaned against the door for support.

Even as Andy alighted from the car about an hour later, he was still boiling in anger. Jessica had guts, he could give her that. No woman had ever confronted him hands down the way Jessica constantly did.
She had the talent of getting him angry whenever she felt like. The frustrating thing was that he somehow felt that she was right.
Self-centered, he muttered to himself with a grim face.

As he matched into the massive building, he did not notice the intense surprise on the faces of the security men; neither did he hear their greetings. He entered the office like a soldier instead of the calmly measured steps he was used to. The surprised looks he got from his employees made him aware of his environment. He returned their gaze with a stern glare and they all started pouring greetings and congratulations on his just concluded wedding, before returning to their duties.

Andy felt the eyes of staff on him as he entered his office. Again, Jessica had been right; coming to work was a stupid thing to do.
However right she was, he told himself that he ought to be at work, if not, his workers would run the company to the edge of bankrupsy.

He hadn’t even sat down when the door opened. He was not surprised when he saw Tunji, his best man and his assistant, standing at the entrance with a bewildered look. “Hey man” Andy called.
“What is the meaning of this Andy?” Tunji asked, closing the door.
“The meaning of what? Andy sat down feigning ignorance.
“What are you doing here? You ought to be with your wife, this is your honeymoon man; the company is not running anywhere”
“My wife and I decided to use this time wisely instead of wasting it on a leisure beach. You know the challenges we have been confronted with by our competitors, staying back would just be useless”

Tunji was glaring at him. “So you could not trust me enough to know that I would handle the company properly till you are back?”
“Come off it man, I trust you; still it is scientifically proven that two heads are better than one. My being here gives us more chances. I don’t want to have another lengthy meeting with displeased shareholders” he powered his desktop and centered his attention on it.
Tunji shook his head. “If I were a woman, I surely would not envy Jessica.” With that, Tunji left, leaving Andy with a measured level of anger.
