“Need to sell my house fast” that was the first thought that came to Troy’s mind when he was all of a sudden promoted. Though that was supposed to be a good news but along with that came his order to join the headquarters in New York. Troy worked in an MNC. He was quite aware that this was his chance to the big league. He has fought tooth and nail for his success. He has aced the corporate politics. He had to fight against all odds, he was unstoppable. He has topped the corporate rat race.
The situation in the office was so tense at one point of time that it began to affect his personal life. Robin was everything he wanted in his life partner. She was smart, sexy, funny, caring and empathetic. She, however, was kind of happy and did not believe in the rat race. For her, life meant being good to others and be happy as much as possible. Problems started when Troy, the aggressive go-getter, started spending more time in the office. Robin started feeling alone and lonely. Still, she was lingering on an already tearing bond.
The situation got worsened when Celina, a divorced cougar joined the office as Troy’s immediate reporting manager. She was bold and confident. She eyed Troy from the very first day. Troy initially acted indifferent to her moves. He tried to keep it professional between them. Celina was not a pushover. It was Troy’s bad luck that there were other guys in the office who were quite happy to take his position. Celina was soon flirting with other guys in the office. Troy realized that he was gradually getting sidelined. Celina spelled it out with her behavior that Troy didn’t have a chance to grow in the company unless he bends to Celina’s will.
Troy, the ambitious guy, came up with a plan. The plan was to get involved with Celina casually and discreetly. No one in the office should know that they were having an affair. He thought Maybe he can kill two birds with one stone. In this way, he can get his promotion in the office and also save Robin from getting hurt, which in turn will keep their relationship intact.
Celina though kept treating Troy as her prime conquest, monogamy was not her cup of tea. She was simultaneously seeing other guys as well. Though none of them worked in their office as part of Troy’s ‘keep it a secret’ plan, one of the guys was Troy’s close friend and neighbor, John. Celina was a kind of women to whom men would flock around. Men tend to lose themselves in the company of such women. Troy though maintained his schedule in knocking Celina’s door. John, unfortunately, couldn’t maintain his discipline (if he had any), One day after a drinking spree he came to meet Celina. Once the door was opened it was a sudden rendezvous between the two neighbors in the presence of Celina. It was late at night so Troy’s official duty excuse seemed like flimsy to John. Celina in a way confirmed his doubts when she asked John to get lost. The words kept on spreading and soon they struck where it mattered. Robin without a single protest filed for divorce. Troy did not even fight her petition.
May be moving to New York with a promotion would mean starting a new life. Troy needs to detach from his past. Troy called his favorite realtor Jeffrey and expressed his idea- ‘need to sell my house fast’. Jeffrey executed Troy’s idea- ‘need to sell my house fast’ within few weeks.
