Chapter 156 Ben And Mila
After considering everything, Rachael agreed. "Okay but you don't have to get it. I'll—"
"No—" Elsa interrupted her. "If you go, Andrew will find out."
"But he has already seen it."
"That doesn't matter, the main part is to make sure he doesn't know you are taking it with you," Elsa stated.
"Yes, this way he will be very surprised when he sees you in it," Tina added.
"What is my girl gang talking about?" Emma walked into the room.
"Oh look who decided to finally show up," Tina Looked at Emma and smiled, "It's good to see that you are still alive."
"Of course I am alive," Emma exclaimed. "Did you think I was dead?"josei
"Where were you?" Rachael curiously inquired. She hadn't seen Emma for the past two days and she did not even receive any message from her which was quite unlikely.
"I was a little busy." To avoid any further questions, Emma quickly changed the topic. "So, what discussion was going on?"
"We were just telling Rachael how she has to take the sexy lingerie with her," Elsa answered.
Emma raised her brows and looked at her friend. "Is that something we have to tell you? You should put that thing in your suitcase without anyone reminding you."
"Don't you wanna spice things up with your husband?" She added.
Before Rachael could say anything, Elsa remarked, "We all know Andrew will jump on you even if you approach him wearing a rag. But that doesn't mean you will actually do that."
"Exactly," Tina agreed.
"It's very important to keep the s*ex as fun and sexy as possible," Elsa added. "If you wear that lingerie and stand in front of him, he will go crazy and you'll end up having the best s*ex."
She then placed her hand on Rachael's shoulder. "Trust me Rach, I am talking with experience. Men get super excited in bed when you provoke them by wearing things that ascend your boobs and give them easy access."
"Alright, I already told you that I will take it," Rachael remarked. "You can stop trying to convince me."
"Great, I'll bring it from your place by tonight," Elsa exclaimed. "Just help me take care of Edward while I am gone."
"You don't have to worry about him. Mom and dad will probably not let you take him home today," Rachael chuckled. Everytime Edward came over, Michael and Reeta would never leave his side. They would constantly keep laying and running around him, until all three of them got tired.
"Uncle and aunt really love having kids around." Tina looked at Rachael. "Hey Rach, you should quickly have s*ex and give them a grandchild."
"Yeah, as if Andrew will want to have a child so soon," Elsa scoffed.
When all three of them looked at her, she explained, ""Do you people have any idea how possessive he is of his wife? He will definitely not be okay with someone taking Racheal's attention away from him, even if its his own child."
Rachael chuckled and nodded. "That is true, I don't think Andrew would want to have a child so soon. I also think it's too early to even think about it."
"Well, that is true," Tina sighed. "So maybe uncle and aunt should count on George for a grandchild."
Tina's words made Emma choke in her own saliva. She patted her chest and started coughing vigorously.
"What happened to you?" Rachael patted Emma's pack while Elsa passed her some water.
"N-Nothing," she awkwardly cleared her throat.
"I don't think Geogre would want to have a child soon either. I mean, he is not even in a relationship yet," Rachael remarked. "Anyway, with Edward around, mom and dad are quenching their grandchild's thirst."
"Forget about that—'' Elsa looked at Tina. "A little birdie told me that you went on a date with Ben yesterday."
"It wasn't a date," Tina said before glaring at Rachael.
"I swear I did not tell anyone," Rachael quickly defended herself. She had been so busy with packing and Andrew, she did not have the time to talk to anyone else.
"No, I didn't hear it from Rach," Elsa smiled. "I heard it from Justin."
"Now who told Justin?" Tina frowned.
"He told me he heard it from Owen," she answered.
"And who told him?"
"Maybe Andrew did." When Tina sighed, Rachael shrugged her shoulders. "It's not my fault, I did not tell anyone."
"Forget that," Elsa remarked. "Tell us how the date was."
"Well—" Tina shrugged her shoulders. "I won't call it a date but it was fun. It would have been more fun if Ben would have opened his mouth a little more than he did."
"Why? What happened?"
"Nothing happened, it's just I felt that he wasn't interested because he didn't talk that much," she added. "I mean, I was doing the majority of the talking and he rarely replied."
Keeping quiet for a while, Tina sighed, "Maybe he is not interested in me."
"I am sorry Tina, that really sucks." Elsa patted Tina's arms to console her. "But we can't really blame him for behaving that way."
"What do you mean?" Tina curiously inquired.
Contemplating for a while, Elsa sighed, "Wow, I don't know if I should say this."
She then looked at Rachael." Did Andrew tell you anything about Ben?"
Rachael nodded. "He did tell me that Ben was in a very serious relationship when he was still in Russia. But they broke up because the girl got married to someone else."
"Ouch—that hurt," Emma pursed her lips.
"Keep talking." Tina's interest in the conversation piqued up to the highest level.
"Well, since Andrew already mentioned it to Rachael, I think we are allowed to talk about it," Elsa exclaimed.
"It's true that Ben was in a very serious relationship but they broke up because the girl married someone else. But the story isn't that simple," she added. "Rach probably knows this—Ben has been working with Andrew for a really long time now and I have known him since then."
"I think he met this girl seven years ago when he was on a trip with Andrew. After that, they got into a relationship and things looked really very serious. Ben even brought the girl over and we all met her," she explained. "To be honest, I really liked her. She seemed so nice and she really cared for Ben."
"Anyway, things were going very smoothly between them. In fact, they even moved in together. But after four years into their relationship, things started getting a little rough between them." Pausing for a while, Elsa added, "I am not sure about the reason behind it but from what I remember, the girl suddenly started saying that Ben wasn't good enough for her."
"Damn, what a bi*tch," Emma frowned.
"I know but that is not even the worst part—"
When Elsa did not continue, Tina inquired, "What is the worst part?"
"I—"
Sensing Elsa's hesitation, Rachael said, "It's alright if you don't wanna tell us. We totally understand."
"No, it's not like I don't trust you girls but—" Elsa helplessly shook her head and sighed, "It's so sad that my heart aches everytime I even think about it."
Keeping quiet for a while, she continued, "She did not just leave Ben, she also aborted their child before getting married to someone else."
"What?" Rachael, Emma and Tina yelled in unison.
"And how did Ben find out?"
"She told him," Elsa answered. "Ben told her not to get an abortion. The guy literally begged her not to kill their baby but that woman did not even budge. She told him that since they were no longer together, giving their baby into the world didn't make any sense."
"Poor Ben—" Rachael's heart ached for him. Though she had been through the pain and grief, it was nothing in front of what Ben must have been through. One could only imagine.
"I wonder how he got over it—"
"He took a month off and went somewhere. I don't know where he went and what he did but when he came back, he started living his life normally again." Thinking for a while, Elsa frowned. "To be honest, I found this quite weird. I even tried talking to him but he said that he was fine. But I don't think he was."
"Andrew told me that after that girl, he has never seen Ben with anyone else," Rachael added.
"Neither have I," Elsa remarked. "I even tried to set him up with my girlfriends but he always turned them down so I stopped trying."
"Does that girl stay in Russia only?" Rachael inquired.
"Yes—" Elsa nodded. "She married some businessman. The last time I heard, her married life isn't that fruitful. Her husband, though he is a rich fellow, has a drinking habit."
"Serves her right," Emma scoffed. "Women like that are never happy in life."
Tina, who had been silent the entire time finally said, "What's her name?"
"Her name is Mila."
