Chapter 195: Worst Thing That Could Happen To A Couple
Stella picked her coat up and pondered whether she should wear it or not. This usually becomes her dilemma in that time between winter and spring. She considered that time much worse than the fall.
She decided not to wear the coat. It was cold in the morning and so she wore a thick coat and now it had turned a bit hot. Her coat would be too stuffy. But it still was cold and she could not go outside
With a sigh, she picked up her purse and coat. She thought of checking on Tony. They weren’t busy the past week and she was told Tony still stayed in the office. He’s been making odd mistakes in the office too. The rumor around the office was that he had problems at home. She didn’t think it would be true.
Why would everyone think that when a man acts different, his wife must be the reason? Isn’t that misogynistic?
Some even blamed Marcella for cheating on Tony. Each day, the name of the man changes but one name came up frequently—John Emerson. She would want to slap some sense into Bertha’s hollow brain when she talked without any limit. No one knows Marcella. How could they talk so badly about her at the same time they shamelessly eat the muffins she brings?
Tony was in his office. She could see his face thanks to his wife who visited often with muffins and cleaned his room. He was staring at the floor. He looked dejected and as if he didn’t even have the strength to hold up his head, he was supporting his head with his hands.
At once glace, he looked defeated.
"Not leaving yet?" Stella asked.
She had to ask twice to grab his attention and had to repeat it once more for him to hear her.
"Yeah... yeah..." Tony said looking for something.
"You are wearing your suit. Your coat is with the..." she pointed at the coat hanger in the office.
"Ah... yes..." Tony nodded and tried to smile.
