My Wife Is A Seer

Jasper stayed awake all night and kept his eyes open until dawn.

When he went downstairs, he didn’t see Helena, the sofa in the living room was empty and there was no sign that she had even slept. He went upstairs and looked in every room and still didn’t see her.

He opened the door to the living room, to see the broken shoe cabinet leaning against the wall, neatly arranged on it.

The clothes thrown down were all folded flat and laid out on the steps.

There was also a line scratched in stone on the steps, crookedly written: I’ll be back when your anger has subsided!

Jasper’s fists were clenched and his forehead was bulging with veins: Good! Very good! Not only had she abandoned him, she had abandoned him completely!

Last night he had only closed the door, not unlocked it. She could have opened the door with a swipe of her fingerprint. But she chose to leave and not to come back. Good, good, if you choose to leave, then don’t come back.

Jasper’s gaze was gloomy, the anger that hadn’t subsided overnight thickened, he called Joey: “At eight in the morning, all staff check their appearance, those who don’t show up for work and don’t meet the requirements, all holidays will be cancelled.”

“Eight, eight o’clock?”

“Too early?”

“No, it’s just right.” Joey was caught off guard; it was now seven and a half, with 55 minutes to go. He hurriedly sent a text message on his phone and three more emergency notifications in quick succession to his work group.

In a flash, all the employees were in disarray.

Those who go to the bathroom hold it all in. Those who put on make-up casually wiped. The ones who stayed in bed directly fell out of bed. They were wailing, this is not work, this is clearly military training, too bad!

At 8am, the playground of the Howard Group was standing in blackness.

Jasper grimaced, his sharp eyes sweeping over one by one: the ones with lipstick smeared onto their faces. The eyebrows are half drawn. The one whose tie was tied in a bow, the one whose shirt was buttoned in the wrong row. Mr. Woods the president of the planning department was wearing two different slippers on his feet.

“Your image represents the image of the company.”

“Your energy and vitality represent the energy and vitality of the company.”

“I told you all that you’ve been slacking on your work lately and you all said you hadn’t. Now look at yourselves, what the hell do you all look like?”

“All holidays are cancelled! Get your asses in gear and get to work! If you don’t want to do it, pack up and leave, I don’t keep idle people!”

……

Jasper admonished them harshly.

Only when he had gone far away and disappeared did they dare to take a breath and Mr. Woods asked Joey: “What’s wrong with Mr. Jasper? Yesterday, he was fine and said he was going to start two big projects. How come today he has changed so early in the morning.”

Joey couldn’t say why: it was all because of Helena!

…

At nine in the morning, Helena leaned against her bed and dialed Jasper’s number on the hotel’s landline.

After two rings, the phone was answered and she was overjoyed: “Jasper, it’s me ……” Before she could finish her sentence, the phone was hung up. When she called again, he no longer answered.

After the meeting, Jasper called Joey into his office, “Go and check the address of this phone number and send these things to her. Tell her that she doesn’t need to return to Panyan Villa in the future.”

Joey looked up the address with a stiff face; it was a very cheap fast hotel.

Helena had offended William. Instead of helping her arrange a hotel, William gave two hundred to her. She had no ID card and could only stay in the cheapest private hostel.

A knock came at the door.

She ran to open the door.

When she saw Joey, she was surprised: “Did Jasper ask you to come over? He’s not angry anymore?”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Joey handed her something, he didn’t dare to say it directly, he could only side-step it: “Mr. Jasper didn’t sleep all night and was in a grumpy mood. He asked me to bring word that you should not go back to Panyan Villa in the future. What Mr. Jasper means is: leave if you want to, he won’t force you to stay any longer.”

Helena said: “He was the one who told me to get lost. I left, and he blames me for not staying? You go back and ask him what he really wants from me?” No, she had a mobile phone now, she could ask him herself.

She called her, but he didn’t answer.

When he didn’t answer, she kept calling until he blocked her number.

She messaged him again, tapping on “Rib Landlord”: [What do you mean? Can’t you be reasonable? You told me to get out, and when I did, you blame me for not staying? I just want to ask, did I stay and then you say I didn’t leave?]

There was no response from the Rib Landlord.

Helena: [Jasper, we are all adults, can you be reasonable?]

Still no response from the Rib Landlord.

Helena: [OK! You tell me! What do you need to do to get over your anger? I’ll go back now, okay?]

Rib Landlord: [My house is too small to you. Helena, behave yourself in future.]

Helena: [shaking her hands in anger. JPG]

Rib Landlord didn’t reply again, and Helena didn’t want to speak again: the warranty was forced on her by Spencer and Jasper was the one who told her to get lost. She lived at the bottom of the pile, who could she fight? All of them come to bully her, she had a temper too!

She did not return to the Yip’s.

Not return to Panya Villa.

The hotel was too expensive to stay in, so she had to rent an apartment herself.

She went out to look for a room and rented a flat opposite Wendy. The flat was small but cosy, with all the necessities. She cleaned it up and took a picture and then sent it to Jasper: I rented the flat! This is where I’ll be living from now on!

Jasper’s face turned pale and his fist slammed down on the table: Meeting! Overtime! All overnight tonight!

Helena went out shopping, she needed to buy bedding, household items, and then some fruit and instant noodles. Six bags were so painful to carry that she put them on the side of the road to rest her hands.

“Yo! I haven’t made a mistake, have I? Elias help me see, is this my sister?”

Another car stopped beside her. It was not William, but Rebecca.

Rebecca sat in the passenger seat with a villainous look on her face: “Elias, I was right! It’s really my sister! Why is my sister here? Sister, you don’t go back to the Yip family but buys bedding, are you going to live outside?”

Helena felt unlucky: even if she came out to buy something, she could run into them. When she was about to leave with her things, Elias got down from the driver’s seat again: “Put your things in the car, I’ll take you there.”

Helena was disgusted and gave her a glance, not wanting to look at him a second time.

Rebecca said with a smile, “Elias is so nice! No matter how much trouble we have, he never holds a grudge against us! My sister should learn from Elias, how can we hold grudges whenever we fight? How can a family hold a grudge every night? Sister, you can’t just get angry and live outside just because mum scolded you? Sister, you know that mum is very worried about you, so you should go home and live there!”
