I stared at the text message for a long time and couldn’t believe my eyes. Since when did Christopher and Crystal become acquainted? To my knowledge, they had nothing to do with each other. However, it seemed to me that they were meeting up with each other behind my back.
I held my breath as I continued to stare at the text message. I tried to keep calm, but my breathing was becoming erratic, and my emotions were running wild.
What kind of relationship do they share?
Countless wild thoughts ran through my mind, almost overwhelming me. I inadvertently ended up looking at the notes on the table and my gaze settled upon the flamboyant handwriting.
I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. These romantic gestures from him definitely took him a lot of patience and care to make it happen.
How could I suspect Christopher based on a vague text message? I knew that it would be unfair to him if I were to judge him without listening to his explanation first.
I approached the couch slowly and sat down before taking a deep breath. It was only yesterday when Crystal came to look for me with the intention of provoking me. She probably found out about my relationship with Christopher and decided to provoke me in this manner.
I froze when that thought flashed through my mind. I slapped myself in the face and tugged at my own hair as punishment for doubting Christopher. I chuckled out loud, for I couldn’t believe how foolish I was. If Christopher was interested in Crystal, then why would he come and play with my feelings? There was absolutely no need for him to do that.
It was also impossible to think that perhaps he fell in love with Crystal, and as such, was only doing her bidding by approaching me with the end goal of dumping me once I was in love with him. That kind of scenario only exists in dramas.
I did not how long I was stuck in my thoughts, but the next moment, the doorbell started to ring incessantly. Before I could get up to open the door, the door swung open by itself. Christopher scrambled in, dressed in his suit and leather shoes. When he saw me sitting on the couch, he strode over and sat by my side. “You’re up early. Why didn’t you sleep longer?”
I waved the phone in my hand and said with a smile, “You left your phone. Did you miss your flight?”
“It’s no big deal. I’ll just get another ticket.” Christopher took the phone from my hand and put it in his pocket. When he saw that I was neatly dressed and there was a bag next to me, he asked, “You’re heading out?”
“Yes. I’ve got to go to work.” After seeing the text, I didn’t believe that he had a plane to catch now. Otherwise, Crystal wouldn’t have asked to meet up with him. There had to be something going on between Christopher and Crystal, and it probably had something to do with me. The thought of that was making me a little unhappy.
I felt uncomfortable knowing that my man was approached by a woman that I disliked. As such, I made a bold decision that I would get to the bottom of this.
“What work? You must be dazed with sleep. It’s Saturday. Do you have to work extra hours with your kind of job?” Christopher tapped on my nose lightly, exasperated.
“Uh…” Hearing that, realization dawned on me that it was the weekend. D*mn it! I must have lost my mind after being provoked by Crystal yesterday. Of course, the main reason that I lost my mind was definitely the man who was smiling heartily in front of me.
I glared at him before getting up from the couch and pushed him out of the door. “Go and catch your flight. You’re terribly late now. Don’t complain if you missed an important meeting.”
“I’ll just blame it on my insatiable libido.” I caught on to what he was implying at once.
