Having received a slap from her mother-in-law in front of the guests for a poorly set table, Margaret began pulling some things out of the cabinet, and the guests were STUNNED by what they saw…

In particular, because lately there was talk of Nicholas’s upcoming promotion. — Okay, let them come, — Margaret replied in such a sepulchral voice that Nicholas got embarrassed. — Margo, what’s with you? Why are you making up nonsense again? My relationship with Lena is ancient history.

— You know that perfectly well yourself. And I need to get closer to Victor. He’s important for me right now, dear…

— This visit will help my career. I could become the head of the supply department. And you always cook amazingly well.

— You and your culinary talents are my most important aces. Now it was Margaret’s turn to get embarrassed. Nicholas always knew how to crawl right into her soul.

Moreover, he had a truly hypnotic timbre of voice. Margaret got flustered from the unexpected compliment and hurried to reply in a much friendlier tone: — Alright, darling, as you say.

— Let them come. It’s your holiday today, after all. When Margaret learned that Lena and Victor would be in their apartment today, she got very upset.

Lena, Victor, and Nicholas worked and still work in the same company, but in different positions. Nicholas once worked as a supply clerk and was also married to the accountant Lena. But when a new boss Victor appeared in their company, Lena left her husband for this handsome imposing man.

In her opinion, with him she had more prospects for development, and the abandoned Nicholas took the divorce from the wife he loved very hard. This happened almost eight years ago. Nicholas got haircuts twice a month back then and always went to the same stylist, Margaret.

There, during haircuts, he told the beautiful hairdresser about his wife’s treachery, sighed and gasped, basically whined. And Margaret, getting carried away by his stories, was touched by the sincere sufferings of this unfortunate man and in her own way tried to convince him not to grieve so much, but to gradually pull himself together and get back to business. And since Margaret naturally had developed psychologist skills, she quickly managed to do it.

However, of course, in doing so she got a bit carried away and allowed herself to fall in love with Nicholas, and he gratefully accepted it. But did he love her himself or just allowed himself to be loved? This question tormented Margaret all these years lived with Nicholas. Outwardly, Nicholas fully recovered from the heavy melancholy and dove headfirst into managing his new family, especially when their son Cody appeared…
