Married To The Wrong Man

Chapter 17

Cora would agreed to Martha said, but she still had to went out in search of a job, so as to have something doing for herself, and the major reason why she left the village and came to the city.

She knew if she threw away the goal of searching for a job by herself, and waited for Carolina or Martin to helped her got a job, then she could as well remained jobless as Martin was aloof with her and he disliked her too.

"It alright. Thank for your advice but I am not a kid, not to know my way back here. And besides, I have my phone with me to give my sister a call if I'm in need of her help, in finding my way back. So please shoo away.." Cora waved her left hand in dismissal to Martha, and Martha replied, "Okay."

Martha left to the kitchen to warmed up the remaining food left, as of last night. While Cora drank her tea quickly and she ate some cut bread too, to filled her stomach.

Through with her breakfast, Cora stood up from the dinning seat, and she walked to the kitchen to dropped her tray containing the used teacup and empty nylon of bread, and she said to Martha, "Here, wash the cup for me as I am almost running late."

Cora didn't waited for Martha response, neither did she begged Martha to helped her out, by washing the teacup, as she just ditched the tray into the kitchen sink and left.

Martha shook her head, as she watched Cora hurriedly left the kitchen, and she resumed warming up all the leftovers meals first, before she went to washed Cora used teacup, and kept it to cupboard. As she had earlier washed the teacups that Martin and Carolina used too. And so, she proceeded with preparing of her owned tea and to serve her breakfast..

Cora rushed back into her room, and she took her handbag, and picked up her phone from where she plugged it to charge, and she ensured that her phone, letter of application, and also her CV were all in her black handbag.

She wore her black shoes, and finally walked out from the room as she shut the room door closed, and left to the corridor. Before she finally stepped out to the living room and casted a single glance at Martha that sat on the dinning table and having her breakfast too.

Cora paused and knew that Carolina would asked Martha of her whereabouts, when Carolina finally woke up from her deep sleep. And she stared to Martha and said "I'm leaving the house now. When Carolina wake up and ask of me, tell her that I went out in search of a job, okay?."

"Okay" Martha replied, and she asked, "Won't you ask madam driver to take you out inside?."

Cora paused at the living room exit door, as she was carrying her black handbag to her left shoulder, and she replied, "No."

Cora finally exit the house, and Martha sighed and continued with her meal as she knew that Cora didn't liked her.

Alex and Mark stood beside the gate and discussing, when Alex eyes fell on Cora that was approaching them, as she walked faster and feeling the early morning sunlight burning on her blonde head.

Alex saw how beautiful Cora looked and he smiled to her as she finally approached them, and he asked her, "Madam, Are you leaving the house now?."

Cora wasn't smiling with him, as she knew what happens next, after that friendly smile, and she replied, "Yes, good morning."

Cora shifted her gazed to the yellow handsome man that stood in silence, as Alex wore a black and white gateman uniform, while Mark wore a yellow shirt and black trouser too.

Cora bited her lower lip as she stared at Mark, and he was truly handsome, but he was her sister's driver.

"Good morning" She greeted Mark, and he forced his replied to her, "Morning" As he knew that Cora was openly gawking at him.

Alex immediately asked Cora "Are you going out town, why not tell Mark to give you a ride so it will be easy for you to head to your destination on time, and to return back home safely?."

Cora stared to Mark again, and she meet his black eyes, while her eyes shifted downward to his full broad chest and seeing some of his yellow shirt button was left unbuttoned, and she smiled and immediately felt the pulsated heat in between her thighs.

"No, I can find my way around, just please pull the gate opened" Cora replied in a husky tone, as she knew that Mark could had caught her gawking at him. And probably realized that he had an effect on her, with the way her previous sharp voice turned hoarse.

Mark didn't interfered nor offered to drive her around, as he rather stood aside and stared away, while Alex had no other option than to pulled the gate to opened.

Cora immediately exit the compound as she walked out into the estate street, while Mark sighed as he knew that Carolina had never for once ogled at him, nor flushed red the way Cora did. Except when she made a mistake with her shopping and he corrected her..

Martin trusted him, and he couldn't betrayed his boss to made any advance towards Carolina nor Cora, and beside, his salary was much for being an ordinary driver to Carolina..

Cora was grateful the two men didn't tried to stopped her again, and took out her white handkerchief from her handbag, to wipe off her sweaty forehead and face. Before she started walking up to exit the beautiful estate street.

Walking up to the main gate, Cora took note of all the houses around, and she realized, Martin and Carolina house was number 15, as all the mansion looked similar.

She immediately took out her phone and save it on her text draft messages, while she returned her phone back into her handbag, and continued with her trekking up to the main exit gate..

Cora knew if she hadn't ogled at Mark, then she could've accepted for him to drive her around town, and to show her to an Agent office, but with the way her face had flushed redder, she couldn't accepted Alex offer.

So she trekked to the main exit gate.

----------------------

Alex finished locking up the gate and he turned back to stared at Mark, whom still stood expressionless and he said, "Wow Mark, Madam's sister is hot."

"Hmm.." Mark face twisted in irritation, as he was a light skinned man and he replied "Stop that Alex, and know that you cannot do any nonsense with Madam's sister."

"I know" Alex frowned, as he was a dark skin man. And he quickly replied, "Who said I want to do anything with her Mark? Mm. Can't I admire God given beauty again, Just because she's madam sister, so you expected me not too admired her?. I'm going inside to bath, as I'm sure you also admire her and only pretending because you're a fine yellow man, nonsense."

Mark shook his head, as he allowed Alex spilled whatever he wanted, and he silently walked back to sat at the frontage of the gatehouse, as Martin had already informed him earlier that Carolina wasn't going to work again until further notice, and she was not feeling to well. So he sighed and sat out on the bench, and admiring the beautiful viewed of their premises, as he knew truly Cora was pretty and she admired him, but he didn't wanted to settled with someone like Cora, nor had anything doing with Cora. As he had seen how Cora stared with jealousy to Carolina, when he accompanied Carolina to their village..

Mark sighed and he took out his phone to surf the internet, and to forget about Cora..

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cora finally got to the estate gate, and she sighed, "Phew!" As she wiped off her sweaty forehead, and the estate security men immediately stopped her, as they were surprised to see her walking out and without her driver, as most occupant whom lived in the estate, usually used cars, and one of the estate security men, walked up to her, and spoked to her, "Hello madam."

Cora turned seductively to face him, And as the estate gatemen saw her face, they gulped as they thought that she was the Boss Martin Elliott wife, as Martin secretly owned the estate, but kept it on a low about himself.

"Good morning madam. Are you not leaving with your car today to work?," One of the security men that had actually stopped Cora, asked her, as he bowed apologetic to her and greeted her.

Cora gulped as she knew they thought she was Carolina, and she didn't had the time to explained to them, that she wasn't madam. To avoid them from delaying her, and so she played along and replied "Not really, I want to look around town today."
