Reporter Eddy
KARL’S POV
” Reporter Eddy sir!!!” She said and all the smiles I had got off my face. ” Why did he have to be at my office at this time?” I questioned myself mumbling as to why he would show up at my office after all he had done.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
He was the reporter who had spread the rumors about my divorce with Claire and thanks to Sophie’s intervention the rumors were proven false and I could finally teach that reporter and company a lesson for preying into my life. I wasn’t sure how he found that because when I called Claire and asked about it, she told me she wasn’t aware either. Even though I didn’t want to believe her, I was Claire would not jeopardize our agreement.
” No one dares Karl Rutherford and goes unpunished.” I muttered again and Max noticing my contenance asked me what it was about.
” Guess who is at my office?” I asked him and he looked at weirdly unsure he could guess. I decided to save him the trouble and spill the beans.
” Reporter Eddy.” I mouthed giggling, ” how is he even here? What does he want?” Max asked me perplexed as to why Eddy would should up. ” I am sure he has come to plead for mercy after the lawsuit, I filed against this company.” I responded still giggling. After Sophie’s intervention, I filed a law suit against his company for defamation of character and they had called to plead with me to drop the suit and even fired Eddy but I was determined to see it to the end .
Max laughing heartily responded, ” I guess they would learn their lesson and not mess with you another time. Just as we went on talking, my phone rang. I picked up my phone to check who it was and was amazed as to see who the caller was.
It was Sophie. ” Why was she calling though?” I muttered questioning myself unsure why she would be ringing me at this time. I made sure everything was well taking care of before leaving for the office that morning.
After all that happened the night before, I was not sure I was ready to deal with her as I had barely any sleep thanks to her.
Max gave me a inquiring look when I refused to pick up asking me who it was.
” It Sophie.” I responded turning my face away from the phone to face him.” And after all she did last night I am not sure I am ready to talk to her about anything.” I added. ” What did she do, I am sure it wound not be as bad as you sound.” Max said and I explained what she had put me through the night before.
” I am not sure this contract between Sophie and I would go on for all.” I added after telling Max everything and he asked why, ” Can’t you see the obvious? I asked me and he looked as though he did not still understand what I meant.
“She is hell bent to make my life miserable, imagine on her first day at my house and I couldn’t sleep well. I would just tolerate her for now till I get a new girlfriend and she would be gone, then I can finally tell everyone about the divorce.” I said as I sighed heavily. Max stared at me seeming to wonder why I was so worked up about the issue and burst out laughing. I didn’t seem to understand what was funny about what I said but that was Max reaction to everything. He was never serious and I wondered why we were close.
” You should pick up, it might be important.” Max said still laughing and insisted I picked up, since she was calling repeatedly, “Maybe she needs something.” He added trying hard not to laugh again. He was making an attempt to maintain a straight face, and I could see that.
“She shouldn’t call, I made that evident in the contract and made sure everything was well taken care of.” I said to Max who still insisted I picked up. I reluctantly agreed and picked the call. I observed Sophie’s voice trembling with fear and wondered what had occurred.
” Someone broke into the house.” Sophie said and I wondered how someone would break into my house. ” What do you mean the house was robbed in broad daylight?” I asked her because I didn’t seem to understand who would rob my house with all the security measures I had in place.
As she went on about the robbery, I wasn’t so sure it was real but when she spoke about my safe at the house, I knew I had to call the police immediately and head home.
“Is something wrong?” Max asked him as he noticed my contenance and I told him about what the robbery Sophie had told me.
” My house has been robbed.” I said to him and he asked how that was possible. ” You see what I talked about, she had only been in my house for a few moments and my house is getting robbed.” I said to Max and he told me to calm down.
” I am not sure, it’s her fault you got robbed. This things happen you know.” He mouthed. “Really, happen after spending a day at the house. She is just badluck. What have I gotten myself into?” I asked him with a worry look and he asked me not to bother too much about it.
” I need to head home ASAP!!!” I said to Max as I rose up to head home.
” What about Eddy waiting?” He asked me.”My home is being robbed and you want me to think about Eddy now?” I asked him questioning his reasoning. ” How could he think about Eddy at this time?” I mumbled as I walked to the door dialling 911 on my phone.
” Hello, I need the police at my address now, there is a report of a robbery ongoing.” I headed out immediately rushing home to see what was happening.
