Mr. Boring: Accountant & Agent

Episode 20 The Alternative Means

"Congratulations, Rick." Matt shakes hands with him.

"Thanks buddy...where is Amy?" Rick looks around but doesn't find her.

"Jared's fever is getting worse so... I'll take a leave too." Matt walks out hurriedly and finds Amy stepping in her car.

He runs and gets inside before she can speed up. "Were you just gonna leave me?"

"You knew it. Didn't you?" Tears keep rolling down her cheeks. Whole world around her seems to be collapsing.

Just a glance of her face gets Matt's heart filled with guilt and sadness. Her tears turn into an ocean drowning him. And he feels helpless not even having control over himself.

"Jared and I. We've been trying to prevent this. That's why Rick was transferred to your division," he lets out the truth with a heavy heart.

"What? After all what happened to Mom?"

Matt stares at her confused. "Get off," She says furiously. He doesn't budge. "I said get off."

He steps out. "How am I supposed to get home?"

"I DON'T CARE!!" She speeds away.

Matt dials Jared and informs over the phone, "Jared, she found out and she left too, being furious with me."

"What do you mean by she left?" Jared asks angrily.

"She left me here and went away in her car," Matt explains.

"I had warned you. If anything happens to her, it'll be on you." Jared hangs up.

Matt puts his phone back furiously. "Does anyone care about what happens to me?" He takes a cab and follows her.

In a moment, they approach a crimson colored Villa with a light green water pool in front. Matt gets out and runs to Amy. "Don't talk to me," she says and slams her car door.

She steps into her Villa. "JARED," she yells out loud. Jared comes running down a staircase in a large hall.

"After all what happened with Mom. You still are forcing someone to love." Her eyes keep welling up with tears, and her voice breaks at times.

"Your method doesn't seem to have worked either," says Jared, still furiously.

She runs on the staircase towards her room. He turns back and follows her pacing up. Her room door shuts on his face brushing his nose. "Okay, I'm sorry. Open the door, Amy." He pounds on the door.

"I'm not talking to you," comes her muffled voice. He runs his hand over his face and turns around. Matt appears in his view.

"What happened to her Mom?" Matt asks with a stare that tells him, he won't take no for an answer.

Jared walks down to the hall and serves coffee to him. Taking a deep breath he states, "Our parents' marriage was just a business alliance. Mom coped up for love in a software developer.

She promoted him to CEO but he was too self-righteous and left the company. When Dad found out he got separated from Mom too." Jared takes a sip of coffee.

"Where is your mom now?"

Jared's hand trembles so he puts the cup on the table."Suicide. Amy always blames dad for it. So I & she live here away from him. I've been taking care of her since she was 10."

"That's why she fears your way," Matt reconciles.

"Her way didn't do well either and we're not backing down. It's not over yet." Jared finishes his coffee.
