His Presence

BETTY'S POV

Betty got dressed up after eating to head to work, she was almost a boss of her own… Or perhaps, dance around the cloud of her husband's glory

"Jude, can I see you in my office" she said mildly

"Offcourse" Jude smiled at the other colleagues around him

It must be a privilege to have easy access to her…. Almighty Betty

"Shut the door" Betty Cross her beautiful thighs and scuffed

"Is everything OK?" Jude sensed that there was something wrong lingering in the air…. He closed the door and sighed hoping it was not what he was thinking

"How is your wife?"

"Ehm.. My wife is OK" Jude squeezed his brow in confusion wishing she would just head to the dam point " What's wrong Betty?"

"What did you put in my drink?" Betty stared at her nails as she flattered it's shiny tips

"They are beautiful, when did you fix them" Jude felt he needed to change the subject

"Ohh, my nails.. Thanks, I fixed them this morning, I know they would be very useful"

"OK"

"So.. You left my question hanging" Betty said

"I did not put anything in your drink, why would you think so…. What happened?"

"I don't know, you should.. Did you try to kill me?"

"Betty!!, why on earth would I do something like that, you are my friend, I would never… what happened?"

"Don't shake dear, it's just a question" Betty paused. " Does my existence irritate you or border you?"

"What is going on here?" Jude stood, he couldn't take it anymore. He went to the door to leave after the threatening look Betty gave

"Take care of your wife" Betty smiled

"Is that a threat?" Jude paused and asked

"Why would I do that, you are my friend.. I would never" her smiled ran away quickly "Shut the door on your way out" She ordered

She felt bad afterwards wishing she had let me defend himself before running into conclusion so fast, "OK…" she tries to shake the thought of her mind

Her phone rang, it was Dan

"Babe" he said

"Sweetheart, is everything OK?"

"Yes, I need you to get the CV of a client that I was supposed to see but couldn't, I need you to get it from him and keep it for me"

"OK" Betty

"Thank you, I would see you later" Dan said and hung up

It wasn't up to an hour, a knock descended on Betty's door

"Good day ma'am" Her secretary said lowering her head

"Let him in" Betty replied

"Henry????" Betty asked in shock as she stood up to understand

"Wow, it's a small world indeed" Henry said going closer

"Why are you looking for a Job at my husband's company?"

"Are we fighting?, I helped you.. Remember?" A sudden confidence slapped Henry

"Oh my bad, hand your CV over to me, then you can leave" Betty really hate it when she have close access with guys she has done shits with

"Easy" Henry looked at her seductively and blew a kiss

"You can go" Betty pointed towards her door

"Besides, you look pretty" He was trying to get to her

"You know you need me to get this Job"

"Of Course baby, I know"

"Don't ever call me your baby, I am your boss… when you see me, you bow" Betty raised her shoulder

"Almighty Queen, please handle my CV with care" Henry stood and left making her look stupid for what she just said

"Just Imagine, my day just keeps getting worse" she whispered to herself

"Hey babe, are you free?"

"Yes darling,"

"Thank goodness, I need some fresh air, away from here"

"OK, you can come over, I am at home" Cindi replied

"I hope your husband is not around?"

"No" Cindi replied

"Men" She whispered with a scuff

"Do you want me to come pick you up?" Cindi asked

"No dear, don't worry I've got this.. I would be there in a bit" Betty replied

"Alright" Cindi said

Betty rearranges her already arranged files and pen, thinking of how she would go past Jude. But as pride would have its way, it drove any form of sympathy away

"I don't know what I would have done without her" Betty sighed

Cindi met with Betty on her wedding day, when Dan's mum almost ruined her makeup, Cindi was there even when Dan couldn't do anything but dance to the tune of his mum. It was then that she could not let go of Cindi's kindness. IT'S RARE.

"Keep this file safe for me until I get back" Betty handed Henry's file over to her secretary before leaving

Cindi was already waiting outside for Betty

"Is everything OK?" Cindi asked, she knew something was wrong because this was unusual

"Henry applied for Job" she looked at Cindi

"Henry, that you had a thing with?"

"Yes, and if my husband finds out…" She turned and looked at Cindi again "I am dead"

"Have he started?"

"Nope, he just brought his CV to me" Betty went for the first drink she saw

"Then, that's not an issue, we can sort it out"

"He had already gone to my husband, Dan know about it already if not" She scuffed "I would burn it at his face"

"He did that on purpose" Cindi said

"Yeah, he did"

"You can find a way to change your husband mind about him" Cindi suggested

"He is exactly what my husband needs, Henry is very talented and smart"

"Then we need to be smarter and make moves six times faster than him

" How do we do that? "Betty gave an evil smile

" Firstly, you have to act like he doesn't matter, don't shake when he is around, it makes him less powerful, then we act afterwards "Cindi's gave the idea

" I don't shake around him"Betty corrected her wrong observation "Your ideas are great"

" OK, "

" But what's the second plan?" Betty asked

"You have nothing to worry about, I've got this covered" Cindi said with a smile
