Michael's face stiffened when he heard James' words. He didn't expect that the information would come sooner than he thought. He had James look for it on Friday, and by Tuesday James had brought the information he asked for.
His secretary did a really good job.
"So… what did you find?" asked Michael who wanted to hear an explanation from James and began to remove the contents of the brown envelope.
James cleared his throat, his face looked troubled.
"Actually, there's not much I can find. Elizabeth is not from London and her parents are dead, nor is she married. I think this is a little odd because I couldn't find more information about her past, it seems she changed her identity," said James, starting to explain what he found.
Michael's brow furrowed when he heard James' explanation, even though he thought James had brought him valuable information, but what did he just say? He didn't find anything?
It seemed that he had praised James too much earlier.
James cleared his throat again when he saw Michael's disapproving expression, no matter how he tried to dig up on Elizabeth, but he couldn't find anything.
"However, I managed to find out where Elizabeth worked before she was hired to MCGames," James said hastily before Michael is disappointed in him
Michael fell silent when he heard that. It wasn't the information he needed at all.
He did tell James to find out how he and Elizabeth met, but did that have anything to do with where Elizabeth worked?
Michael just stared at James without saying anything, waiting for the man to continue.
"I think you two met there. I'm still not sure though, maybe around 80 percent?" said James looking doubtful.
Michael's expression returned to a confused look, it wasn't like James usually reported something so uncertain like this.
Was his suspicion that James was hiding something from him turned out to be true? He couldn't trust James anymore?
"Where does she work?" asked Michael who now looked away from James and started reading the paper with Elizabeth's profile on it.
James cleared his throat again, his face looking very uncomfortable.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"She works at Honey," James said curtly and swallowed.
"Honey?" Michael asked, looking back at James with one eyebrow raised.
"What's wrong with you? Just say it! You know I don't like seeing you like this!" Michael continued, staring intently at James.
James didn't answer right away, he took a deep breath, then exhaled. His facial expression looked calmer after he did that. He then looked at Michael.
"Honey is a bar in London, and Elizabeth works as a hostess there," explains James.
Michael fell silent hearing that explanation. Before working at MCGames, Elizabeth worked in a bar as a hostess?
Although Michael had never been to a bar that provided "accompanied" services, Michael had heard of it before. Employees at the bar will accompany customers to drink.
"So you mean… I might meet her there and she's the one who accompanied me for a drink?" asked Michael trying to understand why James said he wasn't sure.
James nodded.
"But why do you look uncomfortable with that? I've never been to a bar like that before, but there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe I used to wonder what it was like to go to a hostess bar," Michael said confusedly.
She knew that James was an awkward guy, but he had no idea James would be so awkward to mention that he went to a bar.
James cleared his throat again, his face looking uncomfortable again.
"As you said, Honey Bar provides women to accompany the customers to drink, but..." James paused for a moment, he took a breath, "you can actually invite the hostess to spend the night there, on the second floor of the bar there is a room," continued James.
Michael's eyes opened wide when he heard James' words.
"What?"
"Only the regular has information about it, so many people don't know about it and think it is just a normal bar."
"Then how did you find out?" cut Michael looking at James confusedly.
James looked uncomfortable again when he heard that.
"You know… I'm a single man. I'll end the explanation there," continued James, clearing his throat again.
Michael gave James a mischievous look, it seems like his secretary knew how to have fun on his weekends.
But… Wait a minute…
"Wait a minute… So you mean… Elizabeth accompanied me for a drink and we continued on to the second floor?" Michael asked after realizing why James looked so uncomfortable.
"Well… that's what I thought, I apologize. I'll look for more information about it," said James then immediately excused himself and left the room. He really wasn't comfortable with it.
Michael cursed James angrily when he heard his friend's accusation. Seems like he's been getting too good with his secretary lately!
A sigh escaped Michael's lips as he leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly closed, he suddenly felt very tired.
He then opened his eyes and went back to reading the information about Elizabeth, which didn't really have much information there. Michael then looked at the front photo of the Honey Bar that James had included.
"I met Elizabeth here?" Michael thought, staring at the photo, wishing he could remember something by looking closely at it.
However, no matter how he looked at it, no memories emerged of the place, it was also his first time seeing the place.
"So that's why that woman was acting like that back then. We actually slept together," Michael muttered under his breath and threw the brown envelope on the table.
He thought Elizabeth was just a brave woman trying to seduce him, but it seemed that what he remembered might not be the first time they had done so.
He then leaned back in his chair and sighed. His hands gripped his hair in frustration.
Michael wanted to deny that his relationship with her wasn't like that, that he couldn't have cheated on Sarah with two women.
But… all the evidence was clear, he couldn't deny it.
Actually… Why had he become a man he didn't know at all?
No matter how Michael tried to think about it, this wasn't him at all. If he had only had an affair with one woman, Michael might have believed it a little.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAh, he may have made a mistake and unknowingly played around with other women even though he was married.
But not only with one woman, he also had an affair with two women?
Even though he has a beautiful wife whom he loves and is proud of.
Michael could only sigh, it seemed he really had to find out about this. However, how was he supposed to find out about it?
"Did the model's words turn out to be true? Sarah and I are divorced?" thought Michael who was reminded of Anna's words again.
Another sigh escaped Michael's lips, the expression on his face was frustrated. He didn't want to believe it. but if that was the case… then what happened to him with those two women made sense.
But… he really had divorced Sarah?
Right now he could only hope that what he had guessed was wrong, that when he received the package from the court, the contents of the package stated that what he was looking for could not be found.
They can't find their decree absolute because they are still married.
But… When will the court send him the package he asked for?

Sarah got out of the elevator and headed straight for the front door of the hospital, her face looking very tired.
Even though her schedule for today is as usual, lately she feels it's easy to get tired, especially after coming home from work.
"I guess I'll have to ask Michael to massage me," Sarah thought as she stretched her stiff shoulders.
Sarah's expression suddenly changed when she remembered that she had to part with Michael soon, she even stopped in place.
"Oh yeah, I have to think about this too. Looks like I'll miss the massage later," thought Sarah who unconsciously put on a sad expression.
Deep down inside, she didn't want to part with Michael, at least not so soon, but she had to, right now the man she loves was Steve.
Sarah then stepped back, she'd better think about this when she got home. Her eyes then suddenly fell on a man outside the hospital, the man she always saw when she came home.
"He's picking me up again. Why are you being a different man, Michael?" Sarah thought and sighed.
Sarah's expression suddenly changed when she could see Michael clearly, and it turned out he was talking to a woman nurse, but…
"Why is he smiling like an idiot?" Sarah thought, not liking what she saw at all.
