"Simon King, go sleep at the office. I don't want to see you today."
The tone of this sentence was as calm as a feather landing on a lake's surface, not stirring even a ripple.
Simon King knelt on the ground, completely baffled, unable to comprehend what May Harris meant, anxiety spreading across his face.
"Honey, believe me, I..."
May Harris looked down at the begging man, her eyes void of the earlier anger, replaced with indifference instead.
This man whom she'd lived with for 27 years, she'd seen through completely.
Slick talker full of lies, not a single truth comes from his mouth!
Although she didn't like Simon King back in those days, after marrying him, she fulfilled her duties as a wife, while this man repeatedly betrayed their marriage!
They had no children binding them, so there was no need for this marriage to continue.
Having thought it through, May Harris said, "Get up first; we can talk things over slowly later. I don't want to discuss this today. Just leave."
