20- Movable staircase

Sarah’s pov

I think I am about to achieve something in near future. It was a hunch. I was this close to my success. To my one and only fiancé.

Justin!

I did not know what went between that maid and Justin. However, for the first time in my life, I saw Justin getting scared of something.

It was written on his face.

When she was calling that stupid Sean my fiancé, Justin did not want me to tell her that Sean was not her husband.

Did Justin lie to her? Justin never lied in his entire life. Why now?

The way he tried to hold her when she went to Sean for attacking him. He was cupping her cheek so gently when I entered his room, I won’t lie. I was hell jealous.

The way he was looking at her. Why?

I was his fiancée and he never looked at me like that.

Wasn’t it part of the contract that they were not allowed to communicate? She was not allowed to use the bathroom in his presence.

She was supposed to spend this one year on a mattress.

So, why she was getting all the unnecessary attention from Justin? Something was fishy. She thought Sean was my fiancé. That means she thought she was married to Sean.

I needed to talk to Sean.

“May we come in?” I looked up to find Nadia and Shella standing in the doorway, “Sorry. We knocked but you were too engrossed in your la la land.”

They came inside and sat close to me on the bed, “You seem tense.” Shella asked with concern.

I told them whatever happened in the room.

“I think you are right. She must have thought that Sean was her husband. What I don’t understand is …” Shella lifted her legs and sat cross–legs before me, “All this time she had been living in that room. Justin was the only one going there. He was the only one visiting her. Is she that much dumb? Just imagine.” By the end, they both were laughing which made me smile.

Justin never liked dense–skulled, giggling girls. He always liked someone who could carry out an intelligent conversation.

I was sure the attraction Justin might be feeling towards her was temporary. Thank God, I was blessed with friends like Nadia and Shella otherwise I might be scratching my head by now.
