Episode five

Watch your steps, keep your wits about you. Salman yelled at his son. 

Despite knowing his son was a licensed obstetrician and gynecologist he still talked to him like a child.

He was a disciplinarian and was well known for his no-nonsense attitude.

He hated clumsiness, to him it showed a sign of weakness.

Salman was a very influential and rich plastic surgeon. He moved with the high and mighty in society.

Kabir corrected himself immediately and did as his father told him.

He was always in awe of his father who stood at almost 6ft, he was lean and very athletic. 

His father believed that appearance speaks a lot about your personality and as such he ate right and exercised.

Today was the day his father would be appearing on television to talk about his work and Kabir decided to tag along.

************************************************************************

Juliet was Salman's personal assistant, she helped him organize his daily activities and sometimes warmed his bed.

As Salman was interviewed she couldn't resist but admire him, his hair was rich black with touches of grey and thick, styled to perfection, it's natural curls added to the attractiveness of his sensual face.

She was just twenty-five years old, and their affair started two years ago.

Her parents were divorced and she spent her growing up years in Paris with her mum who remarried a French hotelier.

She had graduated from school with a certificate in business studies and had gotten the job not just because she was beautiful but she had brains to match it.

The interview ended at the scheduled time and they all left for their car Kabir in tow.

"The interview went well father."

"Indeed, Kabir."

"Are you heading to work." His father asked 

"No, I have other engagement."

"Hmmm…." His father looked at him smiling.

Salman could see himself in his son. He had taken up medicine as he advised him and treated his body like a good as he should.

He also knew his son loved women just like him. He loved them sleek like models from vogue.

He glanced at his personal assistant, their eyes met and locked. Secrets known to only them both shared and sealed within seconds.

Kabir walked to his car and sped off to his appointment. He had continued the affair with Sheila, her boyfriend was not aware of what was going on between them and he loved the thrill of the hide and seek relationship they had.

************************************************************************

Juliet waited for her boss to invite her for a drink, or maybe come over to her place. 

There was no need for her to go to work today and she had all the time in the world.

She was highly disappointed when he said he was going home straight and she couldn't hide it.

"I know what you want Juliet, maybe next time." Without another word, he entered his Mercedes-Benz and sped off

She watched him go, she hated how he made her feel, helpless, and in love.

Sometimes she wondered if he loved her or just her body, she knew the answer but refused to acknowledge it.

************************************************************************

"Hope the interview went well." his wife enquired

"Yes it did, what's for lunch, am starving." 

He said to his wife dismissing further interrogation. His wife didn't age well, she was too fat from overindulgence with a sweet tooth. Her hair had lost its youthful glow and her eyes had wrinkles more than necessary.

He had wanted to help her with some reconstruction surgery but she was not interested.

"What if I die." She said. "I prefer to be fat and alive." 

He had also paid for a dietician to plan her meals, the chef was available round the clock to prepare it, but she preferred greasy and high-calorie food.

He had stopped taking her to functions and fundraisers, his fellow surgeon's wives' body silhouettes were like models but his wife was round like a pig. 

When he came downstairs after changing into a cardigan and pants, his meal had been laid on the table..baked beans, steaks, and hard-boiled eggs. 

His wife had gone back to her room. They rarely talked only in monologue when they did.

He ate his meal quickly, grabbed his car keys, and left.

Veronica just watched from the window in her room. She went back to the bowl of ice cream and cookies. They always made her feel better.

Salman had an appointment with a new client all the way from India, she had gotten his contact from a friend. 

He prided himself in his job and always got referrals from satisfied customers. 

Most of them came to him after they had a botched plastic job and needed someone to correct it.

This client of his had cement injected into her buttock and it made her unable to sit well.

"You are my last hope, Dr. Salman." 

"Don't worry, you are in the right place."

"I have scheduled your operation for tomorrow so you can heal properly before your visa expires and you need to go back home."

"My personal assistant would call you and give you all the details, she is not on sit now."

"Thank you, Doctor, I feel relieved and hopefully."

They both shook hands and went out of the building together before they both went their separate ways.

Salman had some time to spare and he didn't want to go home yet, certainly not to his wife.

He picked his phone and dialed her number, she never said no to him.

************************************************************************

Juliet was excited when Salman called her, she had microwaved some popcorn, and was watching some series when the call came through.

She was already bored and needed some excitement, she quickly showered and put on some perfume.

She knew he loved it when she wore just lingerie and pumps. She was ready to receive him when he knocked.

Salman inhaled her sweet-smelling perfume that was appealing to the senses.

She wore his favorite color of lingerie and pumps with red lipstick.

"You look like a whole meal." He said drawing her thin waist to his bulky frame, he kissed the nape of her neck, her eyelids then her lips.

She loved it when their bodies touched so she could feel his growing bulge.

He scooped her and carried her to the bedroom where he made passionate love to her amidst moans from their building passion till both climaxed. 

They both lay naked breathing hard, in companionable silence
