The Cold Husband Has Changed - Episode - 1 : The Decision

_⁠_⁠_____⁠____⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_

[ At City Rowan's Law Firm ]

•••

Excuse me.

The woman sitting on the couch slowly looked up from the newspaper she had been reading for a very long time.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

Yes?

•••

*Smiles*

•••

I was just informed that Miss Diana's meeting has ended. So she is free to talk to you now.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

*Stands up* That's wonderful. Thankyou so much.

The receptionist couldn't help but glance at the front page of the newspaper Marianne had held tightly in her hands.

A picture of General Laurence Gerardo along with a brief description of his latest achievement on capturing a group of wanted terrorists was printed on the front page of the newspaper.

•••

(She must be a fan of him. After all, who isn't?)

She put the newspaper back on the shelf and took the elevator to go to the 5th floor where Diana's office was located.

•

Marianne knocked on the door and waited for Diana's permission before coming inside her office.

Diana Winchester

Come in!

Diana immediately looked up from her files and to saw Marianne approaching her desk.

Diana Winchester

Mary...

Marianne gave a sad smile and sat down on the chair, facing Diana.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

You didn't respond to my email so I thought about checking up on you just to see if you were fine.

Diana Winchester

Oh.

Diana wore her glasses and looked at Marianne more closely than before.

Diana Winchester

Damn it. You look awful!

Indeed. Marianne had dark circles under her eyes. Her shoulder length hair were a complete mess and her orange coloured outfit looked as if it hadn't been washed for days.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

*Shrugs* What did you expect?

Diana sighed and offered her a glass of water.

Diana Winchester

I saw your email but didn't know how to respond, then got so busy with work that I didn't get the time to call you personally.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

*leans back on her chair*

Diana Winchester

Mary...I have a feeling you are taking a rash decision.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

Seriously? You are telling me to think again even after knowing everything?

Diana Winchester

*sigh* I heavily sympathise with your condition Mary.

Diana Winchester

You're not just a cousin but also my closest friend!

Diana Winchester

And filing for a Divorce is not a child's game.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

I am not playing any games. I am being 100% serious over her, Diana.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

Besides...

Marianne looked down at the wedding ring on her finger.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

He doesn't love me. He never will...
