CHAPTER TWENTY
“What about the other lots of women all over you, are you not satisfied with them? Why did you have to do that?”
“Gavriel, you are trying to tell me that you did that to a lady just because she was wasted and threw up on you, which I am certain was a mistake, like maybe she was rushing out to throw up and then she bumped into you, then she had no other option because it was already out on you, that is not fair,”
“Even if she signed the contract that does not mean her feelings were not hurt like you said she signed that contract because she had no other option, well, that is your business because I am not support of that attitude you displayed,” Raymond said straight to the point
“Well, what has been done has been done, in her next life she would never go to a bar, not to talk of getting drunk or wasted or even thinking of throwing up because, when she remembers the wrath she passed through in my hands, she would sit at home and do whatever she wants to do,” Gavriel boasted.
“Well, if you say so, but count me out of it and do not bother asking me for advice since you advised yourself to create that contract, you should also be able to advise yourself on any issue concerning her,” Raymond said this bluntly because he did not want to sow a bad thing, and of course, if he did that, he would surely reap a bad thing, and he did not want that for himself. NEVER.
“Okay, if you do not want me to give myself advice, then I will do that myself, but one day I will still ask you for advice, remember that,” Gavriel said as he smiled widely at Raymond.
“Can we just change this topic? It is boring already,” Gavriel added.
“Hmm, if you say so,” Raymond said as they discussed other things as they continued drinking their wine.

I stopped a cab immediately after I got out of Mr. Aaron’s office, Nicole must be so furious right now after I ended the call like that on her.
The worst is that I am not even there with her. Gosh, I am so doomed, I am done for.
“Good day, ma’am, where do you want to go?” the cab driver asked me.
“St Louis Road,” I replied immediately, he asked me the question and I entered the cab immediately, and the cab driver sped off.
In not less than fifteen minutes, we arrived at my residence, and I came out of the cab, and the driver zoomed off.
I turned and saw Nicole’s car parked in the garage, and immediately I ran into her apartment.
“Hey Tina, I have been waiting for you for an hour now, are you okay?” Nicole asked, and with that, Tina’s mind calmed down at that moment, seeing that Nicole was not angry at her.
“Nicole,” I called her as I placed my hands on her hands.
“Yes, Tina Are you okay?”
“You look so unusual today,” Nicole asked again.
“Nicole, I am so sorry for not being here on time, I was caught up in something, I am sorry for hanging up on you earlier,” Tina apologized to her best friend and sister.
“I am not angry at you, Tina, you know that can never happen in this life.” “Are you sure you are fine, it seems like you have been crying,” Nicole asked as she took Tina to sit on the couch, where she also sat by her side.
“Nicole, I am not fine, a lot has happened to start from last night at the bar,” Tina said as tears ran down her face.
“Do you mean when I left you?” Nicole asked.
“Yes, I tried to follow you when you left, but the drink already started having its effect on me, then suddenly I saw a text message saying I should come for an interview today, as if that was not enough, I instantly felt like throwing up, and I ran out and bumped into a man and threw up on him, I apologized, and do you know what the man told me?” I asked Nicole as I continued crying.
“No, what did he say?” Nicole asked.
“He told me that I would pay dearly for what I did to him,” I replied, and of course, I was so hurt that the tears kept on gushing out as they finally destroyed my makeup.
“Wow, that man is a bastard,” Nicole said nonchalantly.
“But how does that have a connection with why you are crying like this? I mean, you would not be able to meet the man again since you only met him once at the bar,” Nicole said in a calm tone as she patted my back while I was having hiccups, then she rushed to get me water.
“Tina, take this and drink, it will stop the hiccups,” she said as I collected the glass of water and gulped it down immediately as the hiccups stopped, and I kept the cup on the center table.
“Tina, stop crying, okay, you would not be able to see the man again, okay,” Nicole repeated.
“No, I will, Nicole.”
“I am going to keep on seeing this man, and I think that is going to happen for the rest of my life,” I said to Nicole.
“What!”
“What do you mean by you will keep on seeing him for the rest of your life?” Nicole exclaimed at my response.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Nicole needed an explanation for this statement Tina made.
She wondered why I would make such a statement, something was not right here.
“Tina, talk to me, why would you keep on seeing the man who said that to you for the rest of your life?” Nicole asked.
“Nicole, I will keep on seeing that devil for the rest of my life because he is my boss,” Tina said the statement shocked both Nicole and herself, and then there was a moment of silence between the both of them as Tina continued crying.
