Mr Roberts

Gerald walked out of the security office and walked up to Tatiana after Mr Roberts had been drug away.

"As that is handled, what is going on with the contract selection, Did Alphonse not tell you my wishes?" Gerald spoke.

Tatiana bowed respectfully "Yes Sir, but the needs of the company are far larger than your wifes bid can handle! Thus I delayed the announcement till we could discuss how to proceed."

Gerald nodded "I see, That does pose a problem then." Gerald thought for a bit wondering how he could tackle this problem.

Back at the Villa, Everyone was still eating up White family hospitality.

Voices could be heard insulting and ridiculing Adrianna.

"If only you had not married such a useless prick! And you have fallen right down the tubes with him!" Sabine chastised before sipping a glass of OJ.

"Yes, Now because of your idiocy, we will probably have to close up shop, or sell off most of our business so we do not default on that loan! How could we, The Hamilton Family default on a loan?! Do you know how bad that will make us look?" Lewis was seething.

In fact, it had been Lewis idea to expand the shipping fleet, and take out the loan to do so. He did not want to see things fail.

He was also eager to push all blame onto Adrianna and Gerald.

Adrianna's position in the family had fallen like a rock in water after she married Gerald. Even her younger brother's and sisters treated her like a failure.

Everyone made fun of her for marrying a poor shoe shining bum.

Even if their father had accepted him.

"Ashame you married the wrong Mr White!" One of her younger brothers said. "Maybe if you had Married Mr Roberts you could have at least had a decent life! Now look at you!" he motioned. "Your eyes have bags, you work your self day and night so your useless good for nothing husband can frolic around during the day on you work!"

One of her younger sisters chimed in "I bet he does not even look for jobs! Instead spending the day with his secret woman! He has not laid a finger on you yet right?!"

Adrainna blushed, he indeed had not touched her, even after their marriage.

Gerald insisted that he wanted to be somebody for her, before he could ever think of doing that with her.

Adrianna loved this part of Gerald, but it also frustrated her to no end.

She was beginning to agree with her sister.

"He says he went to work at Happy Sun Transport! Mr Roberts texted me and said he ran into Gerald in front of Star Ocean Group! Maybe he has gone to plead and beg them to accept the contract. HAHAHA I doubt he will even make it passed the lobby!" her other brother said.

All of her siblings gasped.

Adrianna went even redder. The fact that he would sacrifice his dignity further to beg Star Ocean Group to accept their bid touched her heart.

She hoped they would not be forceful with him.

"Adrianna, why not save Gerald all this heartache, and just divorce him now! Mr Robert's is still single!" Sabine said.

Sabine was hoping she could make use of this situation to push her daughter the way she wanted.

All of her siblings agreed and were chiming in.

"Yes Divorce the looser! Mr Roberts is soo much better!" said one of her sisters.

"Yes Gerald is worthless and will never amount to anything! Mr Roberts is the heir of the Robert's family and owns the dock! You will have a bright future!" Said one of her brothers.

"Yes ditch that useless husband, Mr Roberts is so much better!" another brother chided.

"Gerald isnt even good enough to shine Mr Robert's shoes! how can you stay with such a useless two timing man?!" This was her younger sister again.

Gerald had indeed never shined Mr Robert's shoes.

"Divorce him!"

"Divorce him!"

"Divorce him!"

"Divorce him!"

Echo'd around the table.

Adrianna was beginning to grow hotter. She finally snapped "What do you know of Gerald?! He is the sweetest man I have ever met!" then she turned to her sister "if you like that old pedophile so much! You merry him! He would love you more than me!"

Sabine then angrily shouted "Adrianna ENOUGH! Stop defending that worthless man, it is his fault we are in this mess because You listened to him! I will not stand you defending him in my presence!"

Adrianna gasped, and then quieted.

"In fact, I do not want to see you the rest of the morning, leave the room!" Sabine ordered.

Adrianna slowly stood up from her seat, and was run out of her own dining room. Tears were in her eyes as she lamented "Dammit Gerald, why did I listen to you, They will not rest now till we are divorced...." Adrianna cursed her situation.

She did not want to marry Mr Robert's. She saw the lewd way he would stare at her when no one else was looking. It gave her the creeps.

About this time, a car was pulling back in front of the house while Adrianna was walking out the front door.

It was Mr Robert's.

His suit was disheveld and his beard had been skewed.

He was stomping angrily up to the front door, but smiled and slowed when he saw Adrianna.

"Adrianna, Dear, how is your morning going? Did Gerald really get a job at Happy Sun Transport?"

Mr Robert's would not let this morning bother him in front of her, he still wanted to add her notch to his belt.

Adrianna tried not to look at him, and could feel his eyes wandering over her body. She crossed her arms over her chest protectively. "If he says he did, then he did!" she answers resolutely.

Mr Robert's smirks "Then why did I see him at Star Ocean Group? He left not long before I did, there is no way he went to Happy Sun Transport first! Your husband is a liar!"

Adrianna did not know how to refute this information.

About this time, Lewis was also walking out of the front door.

"Mr Roberts! Back so soon! How did your meeting with Star Ocean Group go?! wait do not tell me, come in side and tell everyone at once!"

Lewis was walking up to Mr Roberts and holding his shoulder while he walked inside the front door.

Adrianna was left standing outside of her own home.

Lewis was treating Gerald's house as his own.

They walked back into the dinning room, the plates had long been cleaned up by this point. Everyone was relaxing and chatting.

"Mr Roberts, You are back so soon? How did the meeting with Star Ocean Group go? Were you able to put in a good word for us?"
