Chapter 57
“How is your grumpy boss doing?” Rosie asked as she drew him to the sitting room, they had both just had dinner.
“He is not naturally grumpy, you know that, he is just a victim of circumstances,” Sammy said in his defense.
“Oh that’s right, you mean circumstances which he had created,” Rosie argued.
“Come on Rosie, I thought we had already discussed and concluded on this?”
“Yeah, we have and I bear no grudges against your friend whatsoever, all that mattered to me was my best friend and she is
living a happy life so I don’t have a problem.”
“Fine then, let’s not discuss that... let’s talk about something else,” Sammy said and sat down.
“Like what exactly, Mr. Sammy?” she chuckled.
“Well... like the good old times, the people we have come across in life and all that,” he replied
“Yeah, you remember that one time that we met that weird looking lady at the pet store?” Rosie asked and chuckled.
“Yes I do, like... God, that was creepy,” Sammy replied and then laughed.
“I think creepy is an understatement, it was horrible! I swear.”
They both laughed hysterically over the little incident, they had been reminiscing. Their relationship has been improving with the
speed of a snail for the past one year and they were barely anywhere from where they began, but at least they showed
prospects.
There was finally silence in the room, the laughter had died out. They were now both seated on a couch, watching TV in Rosie’s
seating room.
“Rosie, I must say, the dinner was amazing, I am not sure there is anything better,” Sammy said softly with a smile.
Rosie sat quietly, staring at his face, and then she smirked. “Actually, there is something better, come here you Hunk of a man,”
she laughed and grabbed his collar.
was tossed into the air and it was only a matter of time before they ended up rolling on the bed with their birthday suits.
Well it was one fun long night for both; they had both waited for one long year to get to this point. Well Sammy was never bold
enough to take the first step even though he always wanted to, so Rosie figured out that she had to do it.

“Why are you smiling like a Hyena? You have had that smirk on your face ever since morning and you were late to work today?”
Oliver queried.
“Do Hyena’s smile?” Sammy chuckled, “Well I slept over at Rosie’s place last night,” he confessed.
“I see, that is why you look like the happiest man on earth, I know that feeling, I suggest you enjoy it while it lasts,” Oliver
advised.
Sammy snickered. “Thank you boss, I will,” he replied sarcastically, “and you are not looking so bad yourself today, I mean you
have a little smile on your face, I have not seen one in the past one year, so tell me... what is the secret”
Oliver sneered, “It’s no secret, I am just glad that I got rid of Nora, she is gone for good.”
Sammy’s face went sour the moment he said that. “What” he muttered.
“Relax Sam, I don’t mean I killed her, I mean I divorced her last night,” Oliver replied and chuckled.
“Wait, but how come? You mean it was so easy to divorce her? No one stood against you? Not your Grandfather or even the
police or anyone at all?” Sammy queried.
“Well no, my Grandfather was actually the one that gave the instructions.”
“Wait, you are joking right? Your Grandfather loves Nora, there is no way he is going to stand against her or ask you to get rid of
her.”
“You are right, unless his beloved daughter in law was caught cheating with a random man on her matrimonial bed.” Oliver
laughed.
“What? Nora brought another man into the house?” Sammy queried in shock, he could not believe what he had heard.
didn’t care to act, I wanted my Grandfather to catch her in the act and he eventually did, even though it took seven months for
that to happen,” Oliver explained.
“To be honest, this came as a shock to me, I always knew that Nora was a bad person but I never thought that she would be this
shameless and wayward.”
“Well, that is because you never really knew her, the day she tried to seduce me, that was the day it dawned on me that she was
characterless. I mean I was not even married to her yet.”
Sammy shook his head in disbelief, then he sighed. “Well, I am glad that she is gone, so what are you going to do now, you are
going to bring Aria back, aren’t you” he asked.
Oliver sighed and stood up from his office chair, he walked to the window and stood, staring out of the glass. “No Sammy, I think
Aria is doing just fine without me, and I have grown to live just fine without her, I don’t think we need each other. Yes I do love her
and I miss her, but I won’t force her to come back, if she is going to come back, then it would be on her own will, it is a choice
she has to make herself, just like she chose to leave the city.”
Sammy furrowed his eyebrows, “Are you sure about this man? This is your ego speaking, not your heart,” he said softly.
“No Sammy, I know what I am saying... I have faith that Aria would come back to me on her own will, not just faith, it is
confidence and until she does, I will remain single waiting for her, and if she doesn’t come back, then so be it but I would not go
looking for her,” Oliver refused adamantly.
“Alright Oliver, if you are sure about that, then I wish you luck my friend,” Sammy said and smiled.
“Thank you, and same to you... I hope your relationship with Rosie works out, what happened to me and Aria is not something I
would wish for anyone, so good luck.” He smiled.
“Thanks again Boss, I appreciate it.”
“But that doesn’t mean I would accept you coming to work late again, the next time it happens, then I will be slicing zero digits
out of your paycheck,” Oliver threatened and he chuckled.
“Okay boss, it won’t happen again,” he concluded and stood up from the chair. “I will get back to my office now.”
“Yeah and concentrate on work, don’t start thinking about Rosie because if anything goes wrong, then you will be fired,” Oliver
joked and they laughed.
Sammy was glad to see his friend laughing again; he had really missed the happy Oliver. He looked at his best friend one last
time with a smile on his lips, and then he walked out.
