Heading home I was furious I was sick of everyone thinking Harry is some flirt toy for them to play with. Mainly the secretary was the person I was mad at. She flaunted herself in front of Harry trying to win him over as her play toy. I wanted to slap her.

Harry was driving so I looked out the window. I was fuming mad. I finally balled up my fists in my lap and exploded.
"I hate her! Why in the world is she even your secretary? She doesn't take notes she just flirts with you and you let her!" I said in a slight yell. Harry looked at me and then toward the road. He had a smirk on his face.
"Is that it? She is just flirting with me? Have you ever noticed everywhere we go men look at you just like the women do to me?" He asked
"It's not about me! It's about that damn secretary" I said.
Harry snickers.
"What!?!?" I asked fuming.
"She means nothing to me....she is an employee like the rest of the people in Oscorp" Harry said.
I looked out the window again with nothing to add.
We pulled into the parking lot and Harry stopped the car pulling the key from the ignition. I opened my door and stepped out. Harry was right there waiting for me. I closed the door and walked beside him.
We walked up to our front door. Harry stopped and messed with his keys finding the right one. I watched as he searched finally he pulls the right one up and pushes it into the lock. He pushes the door. I grab his arm before he goes in. "I don't want anyone other than me to look at you like that....you're mine" I said. Harry looked down at me and kissed my hair. "I promise you won't have to worry about anything" Harry said.
Harry's words were deep but they were also shallow and hardly believable so confusing yet a sense of clarity.Yet I held onto the fact he promised me.
Harry was off again to work the next day, this left me alone to my Hughes which was a scary thing even for me.
I didn't like that secretary but Harry promised. That's what I told myself every time I felt bad about the situation.
Harry promised. Harry promised. Harry promised.
This was my thought that covered up the bad ones. Harry promised and when he promises he tends to keep it.

Harry went off to work the next day leaving me alone again. This time I was planning on doing some investigating of my own using a helpful spider in need of some action.
My plan was very clever and well put together. I would get Peter to sneak a peek at Harry's office and use his spider hearing to listen in on Harry's conversations.
So I picked myself up and went over to Peter's.

At Peter's I tried to convince him that doing this was for my benefit.
"Isn't there anything else you need that doesn't involve me getting into more trouble with Osborn." Peter said.
"Please, for me" I said with my puppy dog eyes.
Peter looked away scratching the back of his neck.
"Fine" Peter agreed.

As Spiderman, Peter climbed the tall tower of Oscorp. Make slow but careful movements as he listened in on Harry. Harry sat alone at the moment looking at his desk. This was nothing strange until the secretary came in. She salts herself to Harry in a prissy like manner sliding herself onto his desk corner. Harry looked at her then down to his work.
"You need to get down Miss Wood." Harry said.
"Why" she asked in a whinny manner.
"Because I have a wife and you need to calm yourself" Harry said.

Peter heard every word but the tiny camera he used to let Mai see was not picking up what Peter was hearing.

Back at Peter's I was watching the video as the secretary flirted on. I was angry at her and ready to punch her. I hated her. I wanted her gone from Oscorp immediately.
Harry was going to fire her or I was going to stand up and fire her myself.

I was mad at Harry but more so at the secretary. I had to go home and act like nothing happened. I had to play as if I were at home patently waiting for him to come home.
I left Peter's and went home I tried my hardest to forget what happened but it was still there in the back of my mind.

Harry came home on time putting his keys down on the table. I was in the study on the computer. Harry looked around for me. He popped his head in the door and said hey. I gave him a half hearted smile and went on with my browsing. Harry walked over to me to notice I was randomly looking at Pinterest. He leaned down and kissed my hair. I waved him off annoyed by him. Harry took it as a playful gesture and began to poke me in the side. This ticked me off. I stood up flapping down the laptop and went to the bedroom. I needed to get away from him.
Harry followed behind. I sat on the bed scrolling through my phone now. Harry jumped on the bed and crawled around me. He grabs my phone and starts looking through my Instagram.
"You have too many selfies" Harry joked. I grab my phone back only to be pulled into Harry. Harry held tight to me squeezing me tighter and tighter.
"Harold Theopolis Osborn, let me go you lying good for nothing cheater" I said using his whole name. Harry let go of me. My words had pierced him.
"I didn't cheat on you" Harry said giving me a look of pure hurt.
"I saw everything... She sat in your lap and you let her" I said.
Harry looked surprised. "I told her to get down but she didn't listen I told her I loved you and only you" Harry said.
Harry grabbed my arm. I yank it away.
"Don't touch me" I said as I stood up. "I promise you I didn't do anything with her." Harry said.
My heart was hurting and my head was spinning as I walked out the room. I stumbled but I saved myself. I made my way to the bar which was back stocked with liquor since Harry started back drinking. I grabbed a bottle of wine and went to the couch as I drank it out the glass bottle. Harry came out looking for me. He found me drinking away my sorrows. By the time he got it away from me it was pretty much all gone. It was a pretty big bottle.
I was dizzy and the room spun around like a merry go round. Harry was already beside me holding onto my waist as I stood up. This was one of my rarest moments I never got drunk often so this was kinda new to me like I was a first time drinker.
Now I was drunk and mad at Harry anything can happen.
