Chapter 94: Divorce
An hour later, Lanre arrived at the hospital for work. There was a surgery he needed to carry out that morning and was just getting to be notified officially.
He got into the theatre with other colleagues and the surgery began. Nancy was supposed to be part of the team that is assigned to the surgery while Lanre is the head surgeon.
But she hadn't arrived when the surgery began. She came after the red light in the theatre was turned on and hence she couldn't get in.
After a long time, the surgery was completed and the doctors came out. The patient's relatives were notified that the surgery was successful.
Lanre returned to his office and Nancy just barged in. She walked over to his chair and was going to place her hand over it when Lanre asked her to stop.
He glared at her and his stare was full of irritation as he looked at her like the sight of her detest him.
"Why were you not here for the surgery slated for 8am?" Lanre demanded. She doesn't look sober at all nor look like one who has the intention of apologising for being late to work. "Well, my body was sore and I needed to take proper care of it before coming. I had a night long of love making" Nancy said flippantly and walked over to stand in front of his desk. "Your private life shouldn't interfere with your work. I will let this pass, but next time, you will have to stand before the Medical Director and give your reasons" Lanre declared. "Thanks. I know you've got my back" Nancy said, sitting down and smiling flirtily at him.
Lanre ignored her seductive look and got to go through a patient's file. Nancy stared at him and knew he was going to pretend that nothing happened after their night long pleasure.
"I want this to continue, Doctor Lanre," Nancy said and smirked. Lanre didn't raise his head but stared at her from under his spectacles.
"What is going to continue?" He asked, playing dumb with her. He knew she was trying to get him to keep doing that stuff with her.
"You know what I mean, Doctor Lanre. You and I are available for each other anytime. I am not asking for a relationship but to be a bed.." Nancy was shamelessly asking Lanre to be bedmate when Lanre cut her short.
"What is wrong with you Nancy? Have you no shame or a sense of decency? You come to a man's office and ask him to be sleeping with you at will even without starting a relationship with you?
You have a bad impression on many colleagues and friends already and you think I am the type that will be ready to go to bed with a filthy woman like you?
You could even open yourself to a male patient and do it right on the hospital bed. Are you even sensible at all? You call yourself a medical doctor when indeed you are supposed to be a sex worker. Now listen to me carefully, I didn't know I was with you last night. I thought it's my girlfriend and I took you thinking you were someone else.
It was a mistake and I don't repeat the same mistake twice. I can't sleep with you again and once that I did, it was under the influence of alcohol and I was totally hallucinating.
Get out of my office and make sure you don't bring your miserable self to me in a few weeks, claiming you are pregnant.." Lanre yelled at her.
Nancy was speechless. Lanre said those words to her? She stood up and eyed him sneering at him with gritted teeth.
Lanre glared at her in disdain and hissed. He watched her take her miserable self out of his office.
He needed to take some drugs and antibiotics. He can't rule it out that he will not end up with an STD.
AT two minutes to 12noon, Julia Li arrived in his car to the bureau. He wasn't surprised that Rita was already there waiting for him.
She must be feeling excited that she is going to be married. Her nightmares were about to begin and she hadn't known yet.
He would so much torment her and make her feel miserable that she would regret ever getting pregnant with his child.
Rita Saw Julia Li and gave a relieved sigh. She was worried he might not show up. Finally he arrived at the nick of time.
She had been waiting for him for the past thirty minutes and kept looking at her wrist watch. She smiled when he stepped out of the car but Julia glanced at her briefly with a poker face.
He didn't wait nor beckon to her when he walked into the bureau. Rita quickly caught up with him and followed him from behind.
Rita wore a beautiful flowery gown and had a beautiful Makeup on. She might not be wearing a wedding dress, but she needed to look beautiful and attractive.
The process was quick and snappy and Julia produced a box from his chest pocket. He opened it and slipped a ring through her fingers and she did the same for him.
Rita was happy and she smiled. She has become his wife legally. They signed and a marriage certificate was issued. They were congratulated and the wedding was over.
The couple haven't said anything to each other. Julia Li walked out without as much as holding Rita's hand. He walked briskly with his long legs that Rita had to hurry up to meet up with him.
" Julia, you are too fast. I can't Walk so fast" At least he should consider the baby and walk a little bit slower than he was doing.
Julia paused and looked back at her. "What has my walking has to do with you Rita? Did we come together? Take your route while I take mine" he replied and got into his car.
The Chauffeur was instructed to drive and he drove. Rita stood puzzled. Is this the man she just got married to?
She had told her chauffeur to take the car home. She was going to drive back in her husband's car. But that husband just left her behind and told her to take her route.
Her tears wanted to give way but she held it back. She can't cry immediately after being married. She raised her hand and looked at her fingers, especially the one with the ring.
The ring glitters but the one who gave her the ring wasn't glittering in his heart for getting married to her.
She took a taxi and returned to her apartment. She took her belongings and some clothes in a suitcase and went out.
Got into her car and drove herself to Julia's Mansion. But when she got there, Julia was not home. She was welcomed by the servants.
She wasn't unfamiliar with them. They knew her as the second master's woman. They helped her with her suitcase but the elderly maid in the house said she was to be welcomed in the second bedroom.
That bedroom was next to the children's bedroom. The room was tidied and Rita settled in there. The room wasn't too far from the master bedroom where Julia occupies and she had slept there countless times in the past.
But for another three days, Rita didn't see Julia. He didn't come home during the day nor will he return at night. He was supposed to be having a honeymoon with his wife but he was having fun with his girlfriends in the hotel.
He would get drunk and sleep with his woman. Next day, he would bathe and dress up before going to the company.
Junxie Li knew he was keeping distance from him but didn't know he was married to Rita already. He didn't ask him either.
Theresa Mo has tried getting them both back to their previous lives as friends but Julia would just snupped her. Seeing he was not ready to relate with her, she stopped trying to make him do otherwise. Tiana Mo and her mother had gone to Cherry Lu, Lu Jingli's mother and given her the insults of her life.
They called her names and said her Son was an imbecile who only thinks with his dick.
Molly Mo said Lu Jingli dares to gang up with Theresa Mo against his own wife and mother-in-law? He was less than a man, he is an empty-headed idiot.
Cherry Lu asked them if he didn't gang up with his sister inlaw and her mother to betray Theresa when she was his wife. Looks like everything was going in a circle.
The next day, Tiana Mo sent a divorce paper to Lu Jingli to be signed. The latter refused it and said they would meet in court and get divorced properly.
After three days, the evening of the fourth day to be precise, Julia Li came home since he got married..
