“You can take my Jet.”
Calvin offered.
“I’ve already booked it through an airline.”
Will shook his head,
“Best to just leave it as such.”
Calvin nodded.
“I’d say apologise to her on my behalf, but I don’t think that she will be willing to accept it at this point in time.”
“Probably not, will you stay put here in Houston, no more trying to work around me to get to her?”
He asked now, looking right at Calvin, with narrowed eyes.
Calvin leaned back on the couch and sighed
“I won’t if you won’t,”
he stated simply and watched Wil nod and get up.
“I’ll stay right here and work. I think she’s suffered enough. Unless Marilyn asks for me directly, I’ll stay away for now,”
he told him, and he meant it.
He got up to see Wil out
“How’s Anabell?”
he asked as they walked to the front door.
“Annoyed with you for harming her favourite author, and pissed off at you for hurting Marrin, it’s why she yelled at you that day out the front of the office.”
“Great, so she hates me too.”
he muttered. He’d always liked Anabell, and she him. Not so much anymore.
“Hate’s a strong word, and I don’t think it’s that, disappointed and angry, but not hate. She did, however, laugh when she realised Marrin outplayed you at your own game. She also stated it was your own fault, and now you have to suffer the consequences. Thinks we should stay out of it altogether on the one hand, but on the other doesn’t trust you to be alone around Marilyn either.”
“Probably wise,”
Calvin could only agree.
“I’ll just make a bigger mess of things. It seems to be my M.O.”
“So while I’m gone, you’ll be doing what exactly?”
Wil asked him directly.
“Working in my office at the head office, do you want to lo??ack me or my phone?”
Calvin asked in a half??oking tone, only to see Wil actually stop and really think about it.
“I was kidding Wil.”
Calvin muttered now.
“Hmm, could be a good option though. I’d know where you were at all times, and could have that information sent to her on a daily basis, so she knows your not near her or her children.”
Wil stared at him long and hard, then just nodded to himself.
“One more error on your part, Calvin, and I will have that thought put into place, for not only her piece of mind, but my own as well.”
Wil told him.
“There are apps out there for that very thing, I do believe. To keep family’s connected and know where their other half and children are at all times,”
Wil went on.
“That was invented by an untrusting developer, I bet. One that thought he or she needed to keep track of their partner who’d been caught cheating and now needed to build trust. Though I don’t see that it would ever build trust between a couple. Just allow them to feel spied on. Someone wanting to know your every single move 24/7, and inventing an app to do that, just says to me that the person has already done something that broke the bond of trust and there will be no trust anymore between them, hence wanting to know where they are every minute of the day.”
He shook his head.
“You can say that all you like Calvin. I think it was more about someone was worried about their child’s safety, so if they didn’t come home on time, or went missing, a parent could locate them quickly,”
Wil stated.
“Hmm, we could likely debate why it was developed all night long, and why people really want to have it as well.”
he nodded
“Everyone would have different reasons, I imagine. Go home, and thank you for not giving up on me and not quitting.”
“That threat, Calvin, will remain until I see you are back to your old self completely,”
Wil stated.
Calvin couldn’t blame him for it. He saw him out of the apartment and went back to the couch to sit down, sighing heavily to himself, he would do what not only Marilyn wanted, but Wil himself. That man, his best friend, had managed to talk Marilyn into still meeting with him, or continuing to consider letting him be a part of their lives.
So, for once, he wasn’t going to argue with Wil, or go against what Wil said where Marilyn was concerned. Even if he didn’t like it, Wil was doing his utmost best to actually help him get what he wanted.
If he’d only listened to Wil in the very beginning, then none of this would be happening at all.
