Celine was utterly exasperated at the time and I was the one who calmed her down, "Don't wear yourself out getting angry. He's a college graduate fresh out of school. It's normal to lack experience."
At that time, she said, "If he doesn't improve during the three-month probation period, I'll have him fired!"
Celine's tone was firm and unquestionable. Anyone who heard it would be convinced that she would definitely fire Jericho after three months.
But when the three months were up, not only was Jericho not fired, he got promoted with a raise and even started driving a supercar.
I casually took down the wedding photo. My phone buzzed.
It was a voice message from Jericho. When I played it, all I could hear were sounds of pleasure and gasping. I couldn't be more familiar with that voice, it belonged to Celine.
Immediately, another message followed: [Ruben, I saw you in the office earlier. Are you surprised? Did it make you shock?]
My fingers trembled slightly. In my daze, a text from Celine came through: [Honey, I might be home late tonight. You and Mom and Dad should go ahead and eat dinner. Don't wait for me. Eat well and rest up, okay? Love you.] She even sent a kiss emoji.
