Chapter 23
Greg
I arrived at my office at four in the afternoon, after Linka woke up and saw what I had done to her, then ran away from my apartment, I went back to sleep but I couldn't, I came back to smell her perfume on my pillow, I started looking for any single blonde hair she left me as a souvenir on my pillow, that Strange feeling, for the first time after I'm done with a woman, I really feel like I'm not done yet, I haven't had enough of her, I still want more of this blonde, I wasn't supposed to let her go, but it doesn't matter, she'll come back into my arms I'll find my way to it, After I got the spud stuffer out of my way, it's easy to get her again
"You're finally here, Greg, where have you been all day? There are many issues involved. Especially with regard to the date of your flight. "Margaret was talking and I did not listen to her. What I understood was the trip out of the country and there are meetings in different cities
And when is the date of return?" I asked her while I signed some papers that she gave me"
"after a week" as she puts tickets in front of my desk
"What a week, oh that's too much" I wanted to go back to meet Linka before the end of this week. It really isn't the right time for this damn business trip
"Margaret, what about the date of installing the program that we purchased from Smart Solutions Company? When will be the installation date?" I pretend to read my emails
"According to the contract with them, the installation will start next month, that is, after approximately three weeks"
"Talk to them and do the installation after I get back from my trip." This is how I ensure that Linka will be in front of me after I return from my trip
Wheeler/Kwami
A week later, Wheeler and Kwame again went to the phone company on their day off
""Why do you insist on coming here every week? We told you it would take at least three weeks." Network Security Director speaking to Wheeler
"I think you're just procrastinating, it's not worth three weeks, you'd better get your team to hurry up the research, or we'll file a defamation case against your company." wheeler angrily
""Oh really, and do you think that you are the only one whose mobile has been hacked, this thing happens every day, and we have cases of people whose financial accounts were stolen and even millions because they opened virtual links that spied on them as well, sorry but we can't put you in priority if your problem is only fake photos"
""Calm down, Wheeler." Kwame tries to comfort his friend, "Okay, no problem, I just have a question, sir. When do we expect you to call us? We're really looking forward to it."
We will send you an email with all the details in case we find anything, there is no need for you to come at all, but after that, if you want to call us to inquire, you can come over or call use on land line "
In the car, Wheeler was so frustrated and upset, he feels that time was running out and there was no progress on the matter
""Thank you Kwame for coming with me for the second time, actually I don't want to bother you every time I can come by myself"
""are you kidding me man, if I left you alone you would be dead now" he jokes to his friend "Besides I'm also a friend of Linka too, and… I can't just stand there doing nothing watching your love crumble in front of me, remember how you went through a lot of troubles and drove us crazy until you got her to love you back, We won't let her go away from your hands so easily like this"
Thanks man I really appreciate""
When they stopped for lunch at one of the stations, Wheeler's cell phone rang, and when he looked at the phone, the call was from Captain David
Hello, sir" Wheeler nods to Kwame that he is Captain David "
""Hey Wheeler, I'm sorry to bother you on your day off, especially since you're double shifting. You must be tired, son." Usually, Captain David's voice is firm and serious when it comes to any police or crime issue, but this time he sounded happy and his voice relaxed.
""No problem, sir. In fact, I did double shift work with my partner Kwame just to distract myself from my personal problem that I told you about." Wheeler was sighing with sadness
""That's why I called you son, I actually have almost good news, can you come to my office at the police station?"
""Oh really, good news, what's the news? Suddenly Wheeler's voice changed, his facial expressions changed, and he became excited to hear the news "Oh my God, I haven't heard good news for a week and a half, but I think I won't be able to come before about seven in the evening cap. Kwame and I went to the main branch of the telephone company and in fact we are now almost in the same location, we need at least six hours to get back, sir. " Kwame was watching Wheeler's facial expressions as he spoke to Captain David with great interest
"Oh, no problem, maybe you can pass by my office tomorrow then."
""Cap please, if there's any good news please let me know now, I can't wait for tomorrow I'm so desperate."
Well, I think you're right, we.. we have finally found Chelsea in the records.""
"Really! Oh my God this is so awesome! "He was looking at Kwame with happiness on his face, and Kwame was excited to know exactly what the Captain was telling Wheeler.
"Yes son, her name is not Chelsea as she claims her real name is Victoria, she is a single mother of two children, she has some records of drug possession and a history of prostitution, and the strange thing is that she has been residing for some time out of state, the number that Linka was spoken to was a stolen number for someone outside the country now, I hope by the end of this day and before you and Kwame come back, we can get more information and maybe we can arrest her"
IT'S GREAT NEWS CAPTAIN, thank you, thank you very much""
"Do not thank me, son, this is the work of the police after all. We are watching over the citizens' comfort, and you are a good citizen"
When Wheeler hung up from Captain David, he told Kwame what the Captain had said to him, "That's very good, congratulations man, so do you think we can forget about the pictures and just go to Linka and tell her?"
"Do you think she'll believe that easily, I should get the phone company analysis too so I can look into her pretty green eyes and tell her, babe I'm innocent, oh man I miss her so much."
Conditions on the other hand were not good for Linka, it had been two and a half weeks after she woke up and found herself in Greg's bed, after he had come back from his business trip, he was constantly calling her at the land line of her office but she was not answering. And when he was calling her on her private phone or sending her text messages, he found out that she had blocked him from all her applications.
Regarding the date of installing the program in Hanco company Linka politely apologized to Margaret, saying that the installation must be according to the signed contract, and that there are some important steps that Linka must arrange before installation, and this requires some time, anyway, the technical team is the one who will install the program and Linka only supervises them
This period was very difficult for Linka, she was longing for Wheeler and thinking about him all the time, what is he doing now? Is he seeing another girl now? Has he forgotten me? She still feels hurt by his cheating (as she believes )
She believes that she will never forgive him no matter how much he apologizes to her. She was trying to drown herself with work and forget everything and open a new page in her life. She was trying to forget Wheeler's betrayal and the bad memories that Greg caused, but she was unable to do so. She went to her home and drowned in A sea of tears and sadness, and because of her inability to open herself up to anyone, she preferred not to talk to Gi about the matter.
In fact, Gi tried to talk to her but Linka was closing the topic or changing it, or telling Gi outright that she didn't want to talk about Wheeler, the days were bleak and sad for her
Greg
I came back to the city a month ago, she is not answering my calls, she blocked me from all applications, I can no longer talk to her or follow her news, the technical team in her company where she works came to my company and they installed the program and she did not come with them, they told me that she will manage the matter remotely , it is clear that this girl is not easy, when I talk to her on the company's land line her Asian colleague answered me every time says that she is ready to serve me and says that Linka is busy, so I closed the line in anger breaking anything in front of me in the office, a cup of coffee, a masterpiece, anything . one time I succeeded to get her on the line when I called from other strange line, she was cold to me like a piece of wood
"Good morning Mr. Greg, how can I help you" She's talking to me like she didn't know me before
"Lin why don't you answer me; I've been trying to call you for a month" I was angry when I spoke to her, while she was so cold, and I know she was burning inside
"Sorry sir I have been busy lately, besides all the other workers in our company can help you just like me"
I don't want your other colleagues; I want to talk to you ""
I'm listening to you now sir, how can I help you""
I want you to come to my company, its necessary""
"Oh, is there a problem sir, may I know why"
"Regarding the program that you company installed, there are some defects that we would like to fix " It was just an excuse to make her come to my company
"Of course sir, tomorrow morning the technical team and engineer will be in your company to fix the matter"
"Lin, you made this deal and you should come yourself to solve it" My blood was boiling with anger
I'm afraid I'm just a programmer, not the one to fix flaws, sir""
Linka, why are you talking to me like that, we're friends, did you forget?""
Sorry, but I don't remember this happening before""
You'll be sorry for this, I swear I'll make you regret it""
I'm already sorry""
I almost broke the phone when I turned it off, and I was not satisfied with that, I pulled it off and threw it to the other side of my office. Damn, no woman has ever spoken to me like that in my entire life. Where did she get all that strength from? You'll pay for this, you blonde bitch. You must know that no one, ever, can stand up to Greg
