Chapter 138 - CHAPTER 138: WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

"Where have you been?!"

The woman flared up in anger as soon as she saw Marcus came home. Worry, anxiousness and agitation are very visible on her face. 

Marcus raised his brows condescendingly, Sonny did the same. They might have not answered her question but there faces paints their reactions very well. They were shocked but confused at the same time. 

Zenia yelled at Marcus like a nagging wife and it kinda upsets the young man for whatever reason. Zenia must have noticed his sour face so she tried to compose herself once again. 

"I... It's just... I... It's just that.. your father... he was looking for you and had been asking me countless times... and I do not know what to say." She looked away shyly. 

Damn! She cursed underneath her breath. She didn't mean to yell and act like a nagging wife towards Marcus but seeing him come home late at night made her blood boil. She's been looking everywhere for Marcus and had been calling and tracking his phone for a while but to no avail. 

She's only worried that something might have happen to him so she stayed at Marcus' house to wait for any news about the young man.

She's kinda surprised that Barry was not worried about his son at all. What did Marcus do to merit his father's faith on him? She's curious but didn't press further information about it, instead, she chose to wait for the man to come home. 

If Barry says he'll come home then so be it. It's just that, she can't go home without ȧssuring that Marcus is truly safe.

"I'm sorry, we were just worried." Zenia mumbled. 

"Marcus!" A familiar voiced intruded. 

"Father." Marcus greeted. 

"Where have you been? Zenia was so worried that something bad might have happened to you. See, she even insisted to stay to wait and check on you." Barry explained but unknown to Marcus, there's a hidden meaning to his words.

It's like Barry was trying to set him and Zenia together. Now, he got even more suspicious.

"I'm sorry. I have to meet with someone." He uttered  before motioning Sonny to go home and rest. It has been a tiring day for both of them and Marcus knew that Sonny is too tired as well. He deserves a good night rest. 

"Who could it be that you left your innocent secretary unnotified?" Barry asked.

"Rachelle came back so I went to see her after visiting grandma. I'm sorry but I hope you won't try to search for me anymore in the future." He stared at his father then to Zenia. "I'm a fully grown man now and I hope my every move is not being tracked." He intentionally mention about the tracking.

However, Zenia creased her brow upon hearing the young CEO. He went to visit the old chairwoman? But she personally went there and waited for at least 30 minutes, however, Marcus never came. The staffs and helpers says the young master did not visit that whole day. Therefore, Zenia immediately doubted Marcus' alibi.

What could he be doing secretly? She thought and couldn't help to space out. 

"You should go back home now, miss Zenia. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow." Marcus voiced. Zenia was in daze therefore Barry intentionally cough a few times to wake the woman up. 

"I-I'm sorry... W-what was that again?" She jerked in surprise. 

"Before you go, why don't you join us for dinner? I'm sure you're tired worrying for your boss." Barry grinned meaningfully and of course, Marcus got his point. 

"Yes, father is right Zenia, you should dine here tonight. I highly appreciate if you accompany my father for dinner."

"Aren't you joining us?" Barry was a bit disappointed. 

"Unfortunately, I had my dinner with Rachelle a while ago. I haven't seen her for a long time and seeing her with my son overwhelmed me." Marcus purposely involved Rachel on the conversation to annoy the two. And seeing the slight changes on their faces as it turned sour somewhat satisfied him. 

"I'm sorry but I'm tired. Please enjoy your night." Marcus voiced with sarcasm but the smile on his face hid his annoyance. 

As soon as they saw Marcus turned right to his room, Zenia pouted in disappointment. "When will you tell him about that woman?" 

"Relax. It'll soon come to pass." He uttered leisurely. 

"You've been saying that over and over again for the past few months but your not doing anything!" She gritted her teeth with indignation. Now she's thinking of doing it herself instead of waiting for Barry to tell the truth about Rachel and her so-called son. 

"You..." Barry interrupted Zenia's thoughts when he kinda sensed her plan. Though she didn't voice it out loud but the agitation in her eyes speaks it all. "I'm warning you, if you want Marcus, don't dare, no, do not ever, tell him yet. Trust me and wait for the right time."

"B-but----"

"Do you want Marcus to trust you?" He eyed the ambitious woman. 

She was taken aback and sighed in disappointment. Fine, she'll try but she won't promise anything yet... for now. 

"Fine!" Her face contorted, unwilling to accept Barry's terms. "I'm going home now." She didn't wait for Barry's parting words, instead, she dashed outside the house. Another minute with Barry would make her explode in anger.

"Tsk! What a demanding woman!" Barry hissed before taking the stairs to his room. 'I have to tame her. I need to tighten the reins in her mouth. Or else, she could become my greatest flaw in the future.' Barry thought of a plan on how to handle the seemingly fussy and rebellious woman. 

*Unknown to them, as soon as they were done speaking to each other, a shadow of a person whose been in hiding behind the wall, immediately left to who knows where. 

************************

"You! how dare you threatened me!" A voice of a woman echoed in the four walls of a deluxe room. Her loud voice awakened the little boy that was sleeping peacefully on the crib.

"Are you threatened?" The other woman grinned evilly. "This is not a threat. But if you won't leave the country as soon as possible, and if you don't give up Marcus, then this won't only become a threat but a total destruction for your life... it will be the end of your career."

"You, two-face bitch! Do you really think that by getting rid of me, Marcus will be yours? huh! dream on! Jade... Jade can only be the woman who can replace me in Marcus' heart. So even if you get rid of me, Marcus will never love you! Unless... Unless Jade is dead." Rachel mockingly laugh. 

"Even so... Jade will never come back to him."

"Oohhh... you sound so sure." Rachel showed an accusing face. "TWO-FACE EVIL WITCH!" she gritted her teeth in anger.

"Well, just as you have said earlier, there are no secrets that cannot be unraveled. You may destroy me now or later, but karma is a bitch... what goes around comes around. Your time will soon come to an end....Zenia.!"
