38 The trip

They drove in silence and finally they were in forest villa.Henrietta headed to the bedroom while Jeremy went to his study room.Henrietta removed all her stuff and transferred to the neighbouring bedroom.When she finished she took a warm shower and went to sleep.When Jeremy came back, he noticed Henrietta's stuff were not there,he knew she moved from their matrimonial room,that hurt him a lot but he had to practice patience of the highest order.

The following day Henrietta woke up as usual took her breakfast and went to work.By the time Jeremy came down stairs Henrietta had already gone for work,he had no appetite so he left for work without eating breakfast.All the team members who were to partake in the railway project were to give there final report and could travel to the site the following day.Each department had prepared adequately.At 8: 30 am they all met in the conference room,they were fully prepared.

Henrietta read their final financial report,Mr Thomson asked her some crucial questions and she answered them eloquently,Henrietta and Jeremy avoided eye contact throughout the meeting ,Jeremy was not himself,he didn't contribute anything in the meeting or ask anything,definitely Henrietta noticed he was not himself.She had made a self vow to stay away from Jeremy.After the meeting,they were given a break to go home and prepare them selves for the upcoming trip to country B.

Henrietta's passport was prepared by the company together with other staffs.She had nothing important to prepare a part from her personal necessities.Jeremy was to accompany the team but at the last minute Mr Thomson was to go in place of Jeremy.That day Jeremy didn't go home.Henrietta spent the night alone in the villa.

The date of the trip had finally arrived, Henrietta together with other staffs went to the airport they were accompanied by their family members,Henrietta had no one to bid her goodbye,she expected Jeremy to show up but he didn't and they boarded the plane and left for country B.Mr Thomson travelled using a private plane,so they were to meet him in country B.They stayed in one of J.M's hotels in country B,each member had a room of his or her own,they all checked in and dispersed to their allocated rooms.

Henrietta was amazed with the companies arrangements,she unpacked her stuff and laid down to rest after a long trip.She wanted to talk to Jeremy badly but she did not have his phone number.She didn't know Jeremy saved his number in her phone,she was randomly scrolling through the contacts when she saw the name husband.She was dying to talk to him but when she recalled Jeremy disappearing when she was almost leaving for country B ,she furiously put her phone down.
