The False Miss
Chapter 7 | Vacation
Early in the morning Calvin was busy in his room, when his wife was still one room with him he would not have trouble finding his things, but because instead of this he would not want to do it himself.
Calvin rushed down the stairs in a suit with his hand on, occasionally glancing at the expensive clock attached to his wrist.
"****, I have to hurry" The steps are getting wider entering the living room. The sound of the shoes echoed as Calvin took a quick step.
"You're leaving so early?" The sound from behind made Calvin stop in his tracks. His heart skipped a beat, was he hallucinating? Because this has been a few days since Laura's presence at that time they rarely met, let alone greeted. Because of their respective activities.
"Alice.when are you back?" Calvin asked who had turned around and stepped closer to the woman he loved so much.
"Overnight, I can't possibly make you, you must be so tired" Alice put on a faint smile. A smile that is rarely seen lately.
"I love seeing this smile". Calvin said honestly, and he felt his heart warm as Alice gave him a wider smile.
"You haven't answered, my question".
Calvin realized "Ah yes, I have a meeting in half an hour, and my business partner this time from out of town, I just don't want to keep him waiting". Calvin answered still staring at his wife.
"Tampa tie?" Alice's question made Calvin reflexively hold the neck of his shirt.
"Oh shit, why forget this". Calvin was just about to take a step back into his room before Alice's hand stopped him.
Calvin looked at his hand that Alice was holding with a frown and then looked at his wife. He didn't understand why he was stopped.
"Shut up, let me pair it up". Whether since when Alice held the tie in her hand, she had pitched Calvin painstakingly, their height was almost the same so Alice easily put on a tiptoe tamp.
"It's done". Alice saw his work.
Since then Calvin just kept silent to see how Alice paired the tie for him. He misses moments like this. Really am.
After all it feels perfect Calvin stepped into his car because he only has a little time now. But before that he kissed the tip of his wife's head repeatedly to replenish her energy. Who can't afford breakfast.

At a cafe next to the 'Cagfoup' company led by Calvin himself, there was already Calvin with Laura waiting at the very end of the table. This was their first meeting during the collaboration. And of course Calvin as the host had to wait for his guest.
Not long before finally a silhouette appeared from the entrance, Calvin immediately recognized his partner because they used to do meetings via vidio.
"Welcome, Mr. Edgar". Calvin let out a shaking hand that was warmly welcomed by Edgar.
"It's nice to meet you in person, and introduce her to my personal assistant Arabella". Bella reached out and slightly bowed a sign of respect.
They talked about many things, about how their next contract would go, and as Calvin had hoped, Mr. Edgar was quite reliable.
"It seems like after this we will meet often". Calvin said because they were done with their business.
"Hum, you're right Sir, well it looks like we have to leave now". Edgar stood up and stepped away at the follow by Arabella beside him.

"Sir, are we going straight back, to Switzerland?" Ask Arabella who's been in the car with Edgar, they'll find lodging before returning tomorrow morning.
"Do you want to go back?" Tahya Edgar, who was directly influenced by Bella.
"You don't want to go on vacation?" Edgar's rose again, making Bella squint.
"Sir, is this town where the woman you love lives?" Edgar just put on a flat face, then he smiled "Hm, right, he lives in this city" he replied making Bella choked.
Don't ask why Edgar let it go, because he thinks as long as Bella doesn't ask for her heart it won't matter.
"Alice..I'm closer to you now". He murmured inwardly with a smile that was hard to understand.
"What if Edgar met the woman, would I be able to see them together?" Arabella murmured inwardly while closing her eyes.
*****
After meeting with Mr. Edgar, Calvin and Laura did not immediately return to the office, they still had another meeting in a different place, on the way both Calvin and Laura were silent. They are busy with their own minds.
Calvin thought of Alice, whom he felt was something strange about his wife, because suddenly his attitude changed. Sweeter this morning.
As for Laura, no matter what she thought, she occasionally glanced at her superior with a faint smile on her lips.
"What is the schedule after? Calvin asked finally, he was eager to go home now, but certainly could not ignore his work
"After this, you have no more schedules". Then he continued, "But at nine o'clock tonight you have to attend Mr. Dion's engagement".
Hearing that Calvin only sighed long, why when his wife was already looking sweet, the schedule was very solid.
Time spun very quickly, at this time Calvin had returned to the mansion, with a tired face, he did not directly go up to his room but directly sat himself on the sofa of the living room, he said, there's Alice with a laptop on the desk and some report files. Calvin and Alice worked in different places.
"You're home yet? Alice asked and continued, she stood up, "Wait for me to get some water first, then go up to your room, and come down for dinner".
"Sit down". Pinta Calvin saw his wife was about to step away.
Alice obediently, she sat back down, even closer than Calvin
"You're tired, you better clean yourself up and have dinner". Alice looked into her husband's eyes.
"Are you okay?" Calvin asked, astonished. Wasn't there some tension between them? Then today, Alice's attitude was like nothing had ever happened.
"Hm I'm good, why?"
Tampa replied Calvin instantly pulled Alice in his arms, inhaling a very soothing scent of lavender.
"I'm sorry." - Calvin hugged his wife even tighter.
"Forget over". Alice stroked her husband's shoulder.
"May I ask?
"ask". Alice answered taking off her embrace looking at her husband's lethargic face
"What makes you this sweet? I like you who have always been like this, but suddenly after this -" Calvin thought what he should say.
"Is wrong? I just say hello to my husband". Alice showed her smile again. Calvin was getting confused.
Calvin hugged his wife again, kissed her head repeatedly and kissed her again.
"Well, then come down for dinner". Alice's orders are soft.
"I'll be out at dinner time, likely to be home late" Calvin replied, leaving Alice speechless, then, she nodded and smiled "Alright".
