Mr. President’s Wife (English)

“Eloisa was the girl I loved before Nicole. Do you remember the contract we got on a condominium with one hundred floors? One of our biggest projects that contract is billions worth. Maybe you remember that project in the last few years. Our company was just getting started at that time, but because of that project and the beach house. The company became better known. You must have remembered.” Jayson was musings on. He was thinking about the condominium that Chris had mentioned.

Is that Eloisa? Jason murmured. He continued to look back and think about the events a few years ago.

A few years ago there was a bid about a condominium project that was featured on the front page of a popular magazine. They saw it and read about that project. They talked and carefully studied the steps they would take in the said project so that they could get it.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

But the two friends were nervous at first.

At first, Chris and Jayson speculated and worried that maybe many of the big companies would collide with the said project.

They are correct in their speculation because many of the contractors want to get the project.

Many great engineers are the ones who can lift them. That’s why they were so nervous when they read on a page in a magazine how many contractors participated in the said project.

They contemplate that project.

Who wouldn’t be dazzled to get a project that has a contract worth billions of pesos? Even themselves want to win the bid on that project.

Chris and Jayson carefully studied what they were going to do with the condominium project they saw in the magazine.

They create strategies that they know can approve.

They improved the plan to the requirements of the said company that handles the said condominium project.

Jayson and Chris worked closely together on the blueprint that they will pass on to the company.

With Chris and Jayson’s layout. In their suggestions for the said condominium project. They desire that their company will pass and they will get billions of pesos worth from the condominium project.

They did not make a misstep in releasing the results of the selected contractor company that will build the condominium.

With so many good contractor companies joining in. They were given a chance in the condominium project and selected them.

Many are envious of them.

Because of that project, they helped a lot of people. Even some of the small contractor firms. Jayson and Chris included them in the project.

They made a lot of money.

Piles of money came into their company. At the same time, their contractor firm became better known among the big businessmen in the country.

They also had a beach house project in Batangas that Jayson was in charge of while Chris was in charge of the condominium project.

Jayson now remembered that Chris had mentioned the condominium owner’s daughter.

He also remembered that Chris also mentioned that the girl he worked with on the project was beautiful, striking, impressive, tremendous, extraordinary, and amazing.

Chris referred to that it was the owner’s daughter.

He didn’t disburse attention to every story and complaint Chris while the construction was proceeding to their two clients at the same time.

He is busy with the Beach House and renovating their client’s house. The owner’s old house is also one of the things included in his beach house contract.

“You remember, don’t you?” Jayson took a deep breath. He remembers that he couldn’t just say and answer Chris.

“Eloisa is the girl I told you was my crush. However I was scared and I thought that maybe he doesn’t like me either because we discussed from the beginning without any gusts of emotion involved while we were working,” Chris explained. Jayson just listens. But something seemed to be stabbing in his chest. It hurts.

“But months later, I couldn’t hold back my feelings for her. You know that I often drink at the bar and that’s where I met Nicole. I was happy with her. The feelings that I felt for Eloisa turned to Nicole. But when Eloisa found out about Nicole and me, that’s when I realized that she also likes me when she confessed. It was too late for me to choose Eloisa over Nicole. Nicole is pregnant and I love her too. I can’t just leave the Mother of my future child. Then I will gamble in a relationship that I don’t even know if there will be a destination. I thought maybe later if I leave Nicole and take what Eloisa said seriously. If I chose Eloisa out over Nicole just because Eloisa said she loved me. Then at the end of my hard decision. Me and Eloisa, are not for each other. I also thought it may be could be a ridiculous decision I can do in my life.”

“I’m telling you everything. Because I noticed the strange look in your eyes when you were face to face. I don’t even know what happens to both of you. Because you haven’t mentioned anything to me. But I preceded you. Maybe later what issues to me and Eloisa in the past will be the reason, conflict, and obstacles for whatever you and Eloisa have.” Chris patted Jayson on the shoulder.

He immediately stood up in his chair. Getting ready to leave Jayson’s office.

Chris has already left his office. It also disappeared after leaving behind some important words that seemed to clog his throat, his brain, and sink into his heart. But shouldn’t he will be happy, satisfied, calmed, and he congratulated himself that he was the first to Eloisa after something happened to them?

He should even be happy because Jayson is already married and there will be no problem if he forms and flirts with Eloisa. Why does it look like he’s still worried and distressed?

“Hey, thief! Don’t try to show me anymore. You’ll see. You die. I will personally kill you.”

How did he know my number? While he was staring at the screen of his cellphone. He laughed.

Jayson’s smile broke out while he was alone in his office. He repeatedly read a text message followed by another message. He just cursed him. That widened the smile on his lips. He is sure that Eloisa sent the text message with an emoticon at the end that Jayson imagined looked like Eloisa.
