If Only She Knew - Season 1 - Episode 4

“I think that’s all for today,” he said sitting up. “I will give you a call.”

She rose from the chair and shook hands with him.

“Thank you very much, sir!”
He watched her as she walked to the door, her glorious body. She felt she was being watched by
him. She stopped at the door and turned to face him. She smiled at him, opened the door and
walked out of the office.

“How was it?” asked the lady outside.

“Good!” she replied with confidence. She took a taxi back at the house. It was around two in the afternoon when her phone rang.

Checking her phone, it was a private number. She quickly responded.

“Hello!”
“And you still got your sweet voice. It was nice seeing you Emily. I hope we will see each other
more oftenly. You got the job.”
“What!” she exclaimed.

“You got the job. I will see you tomorrow.”
“Thank you, sir!”

“Please call me Max like you used to. Back in the days.”

“I can’t believe you still remember me. It’s been like 5 years.”

“How can I forget a beautiful lady like you?”
“Oh please! I am no longer beautiful.”

“I will be the judge of that. Anyway let me get back to work. I will see you tomorrow,” he said.
“Thank you, Max!”

He hanged up. Few minutes later the driver dropped her off at the market . She had to walk to her house.

She opened the door and Andrew was busy cleaning the house.
“Ohhh you back,” he said and took her bag, placed it on the sofa.
She sat on the chair.

“How was your day?” he asked placing the plate on the table.
“It was okay!”
“You can eat your food. I am going to take a bath,” he said heading outside where the shower was.

She finished eating and was about to wash the dishes when he walked inside the house with a
bucket and a bathing soup.

“Don’t worry. I will wash the dishes. Go take a bath and rest. You must be tired,” he said politely.

“Okay. Thank you,” she said. “And I have some good news to tell you. I got the job. I will be
starting tomorrow.”

“That’s great I am happy for you. I will just stay here and look after the kids maybe something
might come up my side. But anyways we thank the Lord.”

Andrew loved his wife and didn’t care less what his friends used to say to him.

“How can you pay for her fees? Allow her to do a course. You are a fool man. Women are meant
to stay at home, cook for us men and look after the kids,” said one of them.

“I will never send my wife to school. What for?” said the other.

He didn’t listen to them because he knew from high school that Emily was an intelligent lady. He
wanted her to continue with her education. He trusted and cared about her.

“Dad! Is mummy back?” asked Chloe as she walked in the kitchen where Andrew was cleaning
the stove.

“Yes, she is taking a bath. Where is your brother?”

“Studying in his room as usual. He is obsessed with books,” said Chloe.
Andrew just smiled.

“I heard you,” said Calvin pouring glass of water. “You should be studying also instead of playing with your dolls.”

“Daddy! Are we going to school tomorrow?”
Andrew didn’t know how to answer the question, since there was no money to pay for their fees.

“Yes, my sweetheart,” said Emily closing the door.

The house was not big enough but had three bed rooms. Andrew always wished to have his own
house. Since he started working he had to send Emily to school first. Being an orphan and the
only child. He really wished his parents were still alive.
“I will go and prepare dinner,” he said.

At around eight they had their dinner and the children went to sleep with their mother. While
Andrew stayed behind washing dishes.

The air was very clear and the long morning shadows distinct when Emily walked in the office. Her
heels tapped rhythmically as she walked heading to his office. She knocked on the door and he
responded with a soft voice.
“I hope I am not late,” she said closing the door.

She stood before him. Their eyes met and for a moment it was as if everything in the balance.
Bodly she held his gaze. Did she have any idea how magnificent she looked? A glacial beauty with barely concealed simmering passion. He broke the contact.

“No! It’s seven-thirty. You right on time. Please, take a sit,” he offered.
She placed her bag on the table and sat on the chair legs crossed.

“I hope you know how to use the computer.”
“Yes, I do. I did a course.”

“Good! I am the Boss but don’t hesitate to talk to me. I am a good listener and willing to help you.

Let’s go I will introduce you to the team,” he said getting up.

They walked out of the office and she was introduced.

“Make her feel at welcome. She is part of the family. You may get back to work,” he said and
turned to face Emily. “You may go and start working.”

“Thank you!”
He went back to his office. There wasn’t much to do at the office. She was packing her things
when he walked to her.

“Do you want to go and bite something to eat with me? I know it’s late but I can drive you at your house,” he said.

“I can spare few minutes. Let’s go,” she said smilingly and got in the car with him.
