"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
The next morning, Tracy woke up very early because she was going back to her base. Ashley was not happy that Tracy was going to leave her all alone in the house. "Why is your face like this?""I am not happy that you are leaving. How can I stay here all alone by myself?""But you have been living alone. Why is this one different?" "Hmmm, I just feel that I need someone around me. You encouraged me this weekend if not I would have made the costly mistake of working under Susan" Tracy smiled. "Don't worry, I understand that feeling especially now that you are an expectant mother. I promise to come back this weekend again"Ashley brightened her face. "But what exactly is in that company of yours that you can't find in any company over here?""You mean I should get a job here?""Exactly!""Hmmm, you are making sense but you know my parents also live there""And so you want to keep on staying in the family house? You need to start staying on your own and let them get used to your abs
Ashley's boss was very shocked to see that she tidied up the leftover work. He promised to pay her for the job at the end of the day. Clara was very ashamed of herself when the boss invited her inside the office to show her that the work was already done by someone pregnant talk more of her that was single without a man.Ashley didn't say anything when the boss was scolding Clara. Instead, she made a statement that got Clara surprised. "Boss, why are you getting yourself worked up over Clara's laziness? Why don't you find a competent hand for this job? You need people that will build this company to a greater height" Clara's eyeballs nearly fell off their sockets as she widened her eyes in shock. She wondered how Ashley would make such a statement. Was that how much Ashley hated her? Does she want to throw her out of the company? "Well, you are right but I am going to watch her for some time to know if she will change. If she doesn't change, then I will get her fired" Clara didn'
Ashley decided to stop at the mall to get a few things for herself. She was really in need of snacks while at work but there was nowhere to get them. As she was picking a few things at the counter, she saw a man that looked like her dad. Ashley had to hide in a place to get a closer view of who she saw and behold that was her father. "What is he doing here? Could he be the one that Tracy saw in Susan's former house? Has he finally relocated to this place?" She asked no one in particular.She lost every appetite to shop for anything and had this urge to throw up. Ashley ran outside the mall and threw up immediately. Someone rushed up to her and offered her a tissue to clean her mouth. "Thank you""Are you alright?""Yes, I am fine" She had to board a taxi and went home. Ashley began to feel weak and her temperature was very high. Her whole system changed. She tried to manage it but it was becoming too much that she was also shivering. Luckily for her, Tracy called her phone and sh
Ashley was not happy seeing Rex and also lying to her friend. She thought it was going to be better to say it right in front of him because she was with the evidence incase he denies it but she had to wait for another day. "Ashley dear, I am so sorry about your health. I never knew that I was going to see your friend" Ashley didn't utter a word. She just pretended to be extremely. The nurse arrived and began to give her the necessary treatment. "Nurse, what exactly are you treating?" "Uhmm, sorry about that. She needs rest as an expectant mother. Her blood is fine, including the sugar level""That means I don't have any issue""Not at all. I just want to make sure that you regain more strength" The nurse started her treatment and soon Ashley fell asleep. Rex later left Tracy and the nurse. When the nurse left, Tracy had to ask Ashley the reason why she didn't reply to Rex but she claimed that she was tired. "I know you too well but you didn't seem to be happy when you saw him,
