Chapter 90
I knew this was the plan he and she came up with so he could get away without my suspecting it . Now that I think about it , he managed to lie to me because someone else helped him . Thanks to that , I trusted Carlos unconditionally. I wondered who the person was , but this was not the time for answers . _ Since the lying had started , I better play along . _ _ _ “ What happened , honey ? _ Why did you scream ? ”
“ Something has come up in the company . I told them how to handle it , but they managed to screw it up ! This is a big deal ! This could cost us a big client ! ”
“ Really ? _ This is serious . You should check it out . ” I made a worried expression .
“ Yes , but I might be home late tonight , so do n’t wait for me , honey . ”
“ Okay , honey . Get well . ”

When he walked out the door , I looked at the time . It had been four hours since he ‘d taken the pills , so why was it working ? Was it too little ? I was about to go out and have a look when the door opened . Carlos came in likethe wind , the hand on the stomach , the face contorted with pain . Ah , talk of the devil . “ What happened , dear ? _ ”
“ My stomach is hurting .” He told me this before hurriedly slamming the bathroom door . _ _ When he didn’t come out ten minutes later , I went to the bathroom door . “ Are you okay , honey ? ” I asked .
“ It ‘s nothing . I’m having a case of diarrhea . He then left the bathroom .
He was n’t lying this time , and I was sure of it , but he still looked curious . “ What happened ? _ The same thing happened this morning . Is it food poisoning ? Before he could respond , I added , ” But I had the samething you , so why am I not showing any symptoms ? _ ”
“ It’s probably the cold . If it’s serious , he should go to the doctor ,” Victoria replied .
“ I ‘ll go with you , darling . ”
Unaware that he had taken some laxatives , Carlos thought he would be fine in no time . He wouldn’t let me get in the way of his case , so he declined . “ Okay . _ It’s just the cold , so I ‘ll heal right away .
My father-in-law then came out of his room . “ What happened ? _ ”
I told him about Carlos going to church with me earlier , and I told him how Carlos ‘ stomach reacted after we left the church . _ _
