Instead he went to start working leaving Melissa in their house.
She was annoyed but also kept herself busy. Their relationship was full of ups and downs and until now they are not in any good terms.
In the present, Ian called in his assistant for the next schedule and they both left the office.
Valerie got to her condominium.She was really tired as she removed her shoe and went straight to the couch to sleep.
A plush, cream-colored couch, so inviting it practically whispers "sleep time." Curled up on it is a woman, her breathing slow and steady. Her hair, a deep, rich shade, is a soft halo around her face as she slumbers. One arm is tucked loosely beneath her cheek, and and as the sunbeams gently swept across her face, they seemed to enhance her natural radiance, adding a touch of ethereal beauty. ☀️
Her surroundings was that's all sleek lines and cool, sophisticated colors. Thick polished concrete floors, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows offering a breathtaking city view, especially striking as the sun radiate inside the condo. The furniture is minimalist but undeniably luxurious – a statement sofa in charcoal grey, perhaps, with sharp geometric accents. There are pieces of abstract art on the walls, bold and thought-provoking. Everything is impeccably organized, almost sterile, reflecting a mind that thrives on order and control. No clutter, no fuss, just pure, unadulterated elegance. ✨ It's a space that says "I'm in charge," and it's utterly captivating, just like its owner. And there she was sleeping peacefully but a call woke her up and that's what she hated the most. The phone rang up to three times before she picked it up. She didn't bother to check her phone and started with a cold reply. Don't you know when you are to call?she questioned. I guess I'm the unreasonable person. A deep voice spoke calm and steady. Her eyelashes flunged open as she recognized the voice so well. Didn't know you would call so soon. She said after clearing her voice. So I shouldn't?He questioned. Well Mr Ian McKellen, you rarely spoke to me for the past three years and traveled a year and half ago with your snake of a wife.And now you are calling me out of the blue.Valerie said rolling her eyes.
Are you jealous?he questioned. Huh...me. never and beside if I wanted to be jealous it's not someone like her. Valerie replied. And that "snake of a wife" and "someone"is my wife. Ian said. Well that's lovely that you are now siding with her. How come I'm not surprised....huh. Valerie said. Ian didn't respond but smiled. Let's hang out. He said. Are you already tired of her? She asked. Our usual place. He said avoiding the question.Ian McKellen, don't you dare avoid my question and answer me. She raised her voice a little and firm. Let's avoid it. He said. And I'm busy. She said and hanged up the call😭😭😭
