Gregory quickly ran home, sweating and panting. He thought of what to do but his head wasn't coordinated. He had to take very chilled bottled water from his small refrigerator and drank it before going to the living room to rest. As he sat down he began to remember all that happened from the morning that he arrived at work till the moment he came back that night. "So it means that this lady and the old man are into drugs and not only that they are also business partners with George" "I am shocked that the lady also knows George and now it will be very easy for George to know my house. What do I do now?""This place is no longer safe and suitable for me. I think I have to ask for a refund from the landlord and then go and rent another place out of this city. No, I think I need to evacuate from this state entirely because it will be very easy for them to locate me" Gregory was so confused about what to do. He had to think fast because it was only that night that he needed to do the
"Yes, I moved out. Do you have any problem with that?""No, I don't but you should have informed us that you were leaving. What happened that made you move your things last night?""It was very urgent" "Very urgent that you didn't remember to call me. I could have even come over to help you pack" "No, I never wanted to disturb you" "So tell me where you moved into so that I can come and pay you a visit" "You don't have to worry about that""What about your job?"Gregory was tired of the questions and ended the call. He needed to rest from the long trip. Soon the hotel attendant knocked on his door and brought in his food. He thanked her and started eating immediately because he was famished. That night Gregory had to turn off his location from his phone and slept peacefully. The next morning, he started searching for a new apartment with the help of a map on his phone. Finally, he got one and made a call through the number that he saw. The owner of the apartment gave him a spec
Ashley wasn't comfortable staying at home again after all the incidents that happened beginning with Tracy's wedding. Everyone had gone their separate ways. Tracy had picked up the pieces of her life and moved ahead. Ashley thought of where to get a job but there was none. She was about to go to the mall to get a few things for herself when her phone rang and it was her former boss at her place of work. "Hello" "Ashley my dear, how are you doing?""I am fine sir""Have you gotten another job?" Ashley wondered what sort of question he was asking. Was he trying to find out if she was ideal or had gotten another job? "Why do you ask?""Because we miss you in this company. We haven't been catching up with some schedules and we are lagging. I have not been able to get a perfect secretary since you left. Please I need you back" Ashley couldn't believe her ears. She was dumbstruck. "I thought your receptionist was capable enough to handle her job and also the job of a secretary""No,
"I think you will have to suite yourself. You are an adult so I don't think I need to advice you on what to do. The only advice you can listen to is the one you give yourself" "Exactly! And I am ready to do whatever I want without anyone's interference" Tracy's phone rang and it was her new lover. She picked it up and left the room to have a comfortable conversation. Ashley was not bothered. Everyone has their own life to live. She had a lot to deal with, so Tracy's was not her business. Ashley thought of calling Susan since she was the branch manager of her company. Maybe Susan could employ her. That was the best option instead of going back to the company she once left. It was like going back to her vomit. She wanted to discuss it with Tracy but on second thought, she remembered that Tracy wouldn't give her the best advice she needed and she once made a statement seconds ago that the best one can listen to is the one given by oneself. Ashley picked up her phone and called Susan
"So how are you coping all alone in the house?""What do you expect me to do? I work tirelessly these days because my work is tedious and it gives me no time for myself, so by the time I come back from work, I will feel so exhausted" "You are trying, especially now that you are the branch manager, the workload will be much" "So what about Roland? Have you heard from him? Because I noticed that there is a new occupant in your former place""Really? It means Roland has moved out. I don't know his whereabouts nor am I interested to know how he is faring. It is not my business for now" "But have you divorced him?""Why not, of course. I asked him to sign the divorce papers, but he refused saying that I must not divorce him. I had to find a way and drug him and made him sign it with his two eyes closed" The two ladies were shocked at what Susan did. "You did what?" They chorused in unison. "You two think that I am always calm to take nonsense from any man. He can't mess up my life. He
"What do you mean? You know her more than I do. I am only saying based on it is not right to work under your friend because she might take you as her slave and treat you in a manner that you might not like" "Hmmm, you always think negatively and it is very bad. Susan is not really what you think she is and I believe in her so well""You are free to go. I need to have a chat with my new man" Ashley stared at her friend for a few seconds before she covered herself with a duvet. The next morning, Ashley woke up early and prepared to go see Susan at her branch company. Tracy woke up and saw Ashley already prepared. "Oh! Set to leave?""Yes, how do I look?""You look cute as always"Ashley smiled because she knew Tracy would always say that she looked okay even if there was a fault in her outfit. Ashley stumbled out of the house and headed to the railway station where she would board a train. When she got to the location where Susan sent her, she called Susan and informed her that she
Ashley concluded that she would go back to the company the next day but she didn't want to let Tracy know about her plans. The two ladies were silent throughout that evening. Tracy was busy with phone calls while Ashley was busy trying to know how she would approach the boss of the company and the right words to use on Clara. The next morning, Ashley prepared to resume work. Tracy woke up from her sleep as she perceived the scent of Ashley's perfume. She opened her eyes and saw that Ashley was dressed up. "Ashley, where are you going this early morning?""Good morning Tracy, I am going to find a job""You have considered going to work under Susan?""No, I am going to find a job""You don't want to tell me?"Ashley looked at Tracy and wondered why she would hide it away from her after all Tracy was the one who advised her not to work under Susan. "I am going back to my former place of work""Now you are talking girl. This was what I expected you to do and not going to work under you
Ashley went home and broke the news to Tracy. Tracy was very happy for her, she couldn't believe that Ashley could take the bold step of getting her job back. "So what about Clara the receptionist?""Hmm, that one was shocked. At first, she gave me an attitude and asked if I had an appointment with her boss and I told her yes. She said I should wait, that her boss was busy, and besides he never mentioned having any visitors""What, you mean she said that?""Just hold on let me finish. I understood that she was trying to insult me. I didn't make it look as if I was happy to be called to resume work. I had to leave her there and walked straight to his office and of course, she was following me and trying to stop me but I never cared""Good! I love that" "I knocked and opened the door, she was shocked that her boss stood up and came to hug me at the entrance door. She even tried to question him but he shut her up and embarrassed her in my presence" "Interesting!" "He had to let her k
