Love Hate Relationship by Goodness Shadrach (best business books of all time TXT) 📗

Sasha sensing that he is not going to talk to her again remained silent. It was already two in the morning, and weariness was already washing all over her. Sitting silently without doing anything didn't help at all, he eyelids started closing against her wish. And she fought to keep them open.

Michael heaved a sigh as his eyes kept counting the ceiling, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw something move and his eyes went there out of reflex but it wasn't something that moved, it was his wife that was nodding in sleep. Looking at her like that, Michael wanted to laugh out loud but was afraid of waking her up. He tried to hold his laughter but it was still escaping from his mouth and he pressed his lips together to hush it.

He watched her nodding and his heart melted, a sweet smile spread on his lips, it's been a long time he saw her sleep. Ever since she moved out of their room, he has never been opportune to watch her sleep again like he does every night when they were still sleeping together in the same room. Michael let out a deep sigh and stretched out his hand to caress her cheek but his hands didn't reach her face, she wasn't that close and he knew he was the reason.

His fingers stroked her long blonde hair and his eyes revealed sadness, "why can't you love me?" He whispered "are they better than me? Why choose them over me? I'm I not worthy of your love?" He sighed and withdrew back his hand. He watched her sleep like that for five minutes and became restless, her neck might be hurting her with the way she was hanging it. He looked behind her and saw a bed, he tried to get up and then he remembered his predicament, he cursed and heaved a deep sigh.

Michael's eyes settled on Sasha again, his heart hurt with her position, just what was he to do, should he make her place her head on his bed? But his hand can only touch her hair. Just as he was contemplating what to do, the door opened and Gary got in. Michael heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Gary approach them.

Gary wanted to speak but Michael placed a finger on his lips to shush him and Gary shut up when he saw that. Michael beckoned him closer with his hand and he muttered to him "help her lie down."

Gary nodded and slowly carried Sasha up from the chair, he gently placed her on the spare bed under supervision from Michael. He turned to look at Michael when he had finished his task but only to discover him looking at Sasha with longing in his eyes. Gary was stupefied, 'what is going here? Is these two couples in love with each other but has no idea?' His mistress own is certain, she had admitted herself to him that she is in love with his boss, but his boss is confusing. One second you will think he loves her and the next second you will think he hates her.

You can't tell of his boss's feelings for his wife, he is so confusing. Gary heaved a deep sigh as he stood aside, just like his mistress wanted, he is not telling anyone that she is in love with him, if the boss wants to know then he has to find out himself, Gary concluded on that.

Michael withdrew his gaze from Sasha's sleeping form and looked at Gary "why is she still dressed in office clothes?" He asked softly.

"Em, boss, mistress rushed directly here when she heard of what happened to you. Madam wanted her to leave in other to freshen up and rest well but Mistress refused. She insisted on staying here with you, according to her words, she said she wanted to be here when you wake up" Gary answered softly. He might not tell his boss of his mistress feelings but he is going to put in good words for her with ever opportunity he got.

Gary looked at Michael when he didn't hear him say anything again but only to see him staring at Sasha again "mistress cried a lot tonight. I just hope she won't develop headache when she wakes up" and just as he expected, Michael looked at him.

"Is it now that you went to fetch her?" Michael asked.

"Not just now. When you were still in the emergency room, she was crying really badly that everybody has to comfort her and when she was told about your condition. She wanted to kill herself that the old boss has to pick her up from the floor and comforted her" Gary kept his face straight.

Michael's stared at him but he don't why he felt like Gary was exaggerating. He looked at Sasha again and sighed "was she worried?"

"She was more than worried boss."

Michael withdrew his gaze from Sasha again "you can go. I want to sleep."

"Okay boss. I will be right outside" Gary said and left the room.

Michael was lost in his thoughts as he mulled over what Gary just told him. He knew he had lied about Sasha wanting to kill herself, she is not the type to do such a thing but what he can't understand was why Gary will lie to him for her sake, was it Sasha that asked him to do that? So that she can gain his favor? His eyes glanced at the sleeping lady again, but from his understanding of her, she is not the type that will require someone to do something for her, it's one of the things he love about her. So why will Gary behave the way he did? Did Sasha tell him something? If she did then what is that? What is it that she told another man but she didn't tell him?

He kept mulling over that till four in the morning before drowsiness finally took over him. Michael opened his eyes in the morning to see people clustering in his room, he frowned as he watched them. He knew every single one of time, they all ranges from uncles, aunties, cousins, nieces and nephews whom he has not seen again since after his wedding and was not planning to see anyway.
