Married to Mr Right - Season 1 - Episode 79

I woke up the next morning and had my bath, I applied some lotion on my skin and wore yellow flowered gown.

I wore my slippers and styled my hair.
I was going to look for a job today no matter what.

“Morning mom, hi dad,” I say kissing their cheeks
“morning sweetie, sleep well?” mom ask and I nod
“yes and I’m very hungry” I tell her. she smiled and served me breakfast.
I munched on it and asked for more.
mom giggled.

“what is it” I was forced to ask her.
“You look like someone who’s going to devour this house in a matter of seconds”
“I’m just so hungry”
“I know and it’s completely normal” she tells me “Are you going somewhere today?” she asks. Apparently, she noticed my outfit.

“Yeah. I’ll just stroll to the park to get some fresh air” I lied. mom would never agree to letting me work.

That’s for sure, but if I got the job then there’s no way she could say no either.
“Alright but be careful. the neighborhood’s not safe these days”
“Sure mom. thanks I love you” I said all at once.
“love you too”
.
immediately I finished breakfast, I put my CV into my bag and head out for my job hunt.
I arrived at a company which I saw a flier stating that there’s vacancy to apply for a job.

I entered the building and after stating my purpose, I was led straight to the manager.
“Hi have a seat” he tells me the minute I walked in. He’s polite so I’m guessing, it’s going to be a bit easier to talk to him.
I sat down.

“Good morning, my name is Ciara Smith… ” I paused immediately I realized what I just said. I’m no longer using Brian’s name. well it was stated in the contract that I’m no longer his wife so I’ll try not to feel bad about it.

“And…?”
“Oh forgive me I’m sorry. I’m here for the job. I’m very hardworking and I promise to do my best to make this company very successful too” I said with a smile.
he glanced through my CV.

“Nice” he muttered and I could feel the smile spreading across my lips. I guess he’s impressed.

“Ciara…?” he paused and took one look at me then back to the papers.
“Aren’t you Ciara Salter? wife of Brian Salter? that Ciara?” he asked
“Um… yes I am but we’re no longer married”

“I see” he mumbled “Well your CV is perfect so it’ll be best to hire you but… ”
my smile turned into a frown
“but what sir”
“you see. before I give you this job, I need a little something from you in return”
“something like what?” I was forced to ask
“Don’t get me wrong but you see your husband is one influential man in the country and having him as a partner in our business would really make us have a lot of investors and connections with other companies” he said

“I don’t understand, where are you going with this?”
“listen to me honey, all I want for you to do is make your husband sign some papers stating that he’s agreed to be partners and do business with us” he said with a smile.

I looked at him in disdain. I felt the urge to smack him hard on the cheeks.
“Are you mad?”
“excuse me,” he said with a frown and stood up from the chair
“who gave you that right to ask me to blackmail someone all because you want to bribe me with a job” I yell
“So who do you think you are then? mother Theresa? Everyone does things like this to succeed so it’s nothing new”
“to you it isn’t but to me it is. and if that is what will cost me this job then I don’t want it anymore” I said with all boldness and finality.

“Fine then I suggest you leave my office”
I stood up and turned to leave when I heard “Shameless woman. no wonder she got divorced by her husband”
I clenched my fists at those words. I turned back to face him and slapped him hard on the cheeks.

He flared up. eyes turning red.

“You should watch the words that comes running out that mouth of yours. you have no right to disrespect a lady simply because she didn’t give into your selfish demands. this should be the last time, you speak so rudely towards me or I’ll make sure my husband locks you behind bars. Some manager you are” I scoffed and picked up my bag.
he was holding onto his cheeksI quickly head out his office and out of his company. I can never work in a place like this with selfish, shameless people.

I left his company and went in search of other job opportunities.
