After spending th while afternoon discussing with Tom, Elena decided to go back home since it was already getting dark.
Tom had already headed out before she went to her office to organise some stuff so she could head back home.
She didn't have much to do after assigning task to the planning department. She felt she had to head back before Jason closed for work, why? Because he was very much suspicious of her and she wasn't really ready to let him on on the stuff she did on secret.
They weren't even real couples, yet.
She took her handbag on the table after making sure everything was in order before exiting the building.
Half an hour later, Elena arrived home.
When she pushed open the door, she was quite shocked to find a delicate bit very beautiful woman sitting down elegantly on the couch. She wondered if the woman was Jason's sister, it really couldn't be, because was well aware that he was am only child.
She walked up to the woman who was busy on her phone, probably trying to get through to someone. Maybe she was trying to call Jason.
The woman had raised her head to look at the person who just arrived but her eyes had gone back to the phone as soon as she saw that it was a professionally dressed woman, she went back to her phone.
"Miss.. may I know who you are?" She asked politely, aching to go upstairs for a col
d bath. Her legs were also dying to get rid of her shoes. The woman's eyes rose up to her with deep scrutiny.
"Who the hell are you?" The woman didn't bother to be polite. She couldn't possibly be Jason's sister, or was she a business associate?.
"Aunt Annette!! Elena called as she walked to the kitchen, she wanted to know if Jason was at home already. She hated the other woman's attitude already.
Aunt Annette walked out of the kitchen holding a spatula, Elena had almost reached the kitchen by then.
"Aunt Annette, is Jason back from work already?"
Aunt Annette shook her head.
"No, sir is not yet back." She answered.
"Then who's that woman in the house?" Elena questioned.
"She said she knew sir Jason and so I allowed her in." Annette answered naively. Elena shook her head, she was not in support of her action.
"No ....That's not right aunt Annette, you don't let any James and John that claims to know Jason into the house!!" Elena felt her head ache as she lectured the elderly woman.
"I know... But Jason is very reserved, I've known him since he was a little boy...., he doesn't really keep friends, this had never happened before, so I decided to let her in, I was quite delighted to know he has a friend." Aunt Annette said softly while she had a motherly smile on her face.
Still yet, Elena wasn't satisfied.
"Did you give Jason a call bed letting her in?" She frowned when she saw the woman shake her head.
"I tried though, but it wasn't going through!"
Annette's tone sounded so bitter.
"It's okay, you can get back to what you were doing, I'm famished already, I'll go speak to her."
Elena walked back to the living room,the woman sat in the same position as earlier. She was also still busy on her phone.
"Miss can you tell me who you're,you can't just barge into someone's home, especially with that attitude of yours." Elena said to her.
The woman looked insulted, she stood out angrily. She stood up with a gasp, wondering if Elena really had the audacity to talk courageously at her.
"Wait till your boss gets home, you'd surely be fired, you don't come running back to me asking for mercy, cause I've done to offer."
Elena's eyes widened in disbelief before she doubled in laughter. She laughed till tears started running down her eyes.
Melinda looked at him woman who was laughing at her line an absolute lunatic.
"You think I'm Jason's employee? Com' on, do you think he can afford to pay me?" She shook her head trying so hard to hold her laughter in.
Melinda was stunned. "Then who're you?"
Elena frowned."You know you've really got guts, you walked in hear to ask me what I'm doing in my own home?"
Once again Melinda was stunned. Her own home? Isn't this Jason's house? Had she made a mistake and gone to the wrong building? She would have to confirm.
She looked at Elena. "Isn't this where Alan Jason lives?" Her tone had softened a bit.
But then Elena nodded. "Yes.. this is his house." Melinda couldn't believe it.
"Then who're you to him?" She asked again.
Elena frowned. "Do you realise i should be the one asking you this question? Never mind, I'll answer your question for clarity's sake. I'm Mrs Alan Jason." She didn't know why, but she felt quite proud announcing that she was his wife.
Melinda's froze. It couldn't be, could it? She shook her head, it wasn't possible, Jason wouldn't betray her!
Elena caught her reaction. She shook her head bitterly.
"You must be the girlfriend, right?" Elena smiled, one that was filled with self mockery.
Melinda looked at the woman who had stolen her position.
"It's okay, I'll just head up, I'm quite tired, aunt Annette will get you something to eat while you wait for him." She walked to her room absentmindedly.
After a long bath, Elena dressed up simply, she then went downstairs.The supposed girlfriend was still on her phone, neither of them looked at each other as Elena walked out of the house.
