It got unbearable for me to work in Marlon's firm. Even though, we hardly crossed paths both of us deliberately avoiding each other. It was hard for me to be in the same place as him. Because of this I took a leap of faith and applied for the position of head architect at Bernard's Architect Ltd. I was accepted and I've been working there for three months.
I was paid less than at Hanks Architect Ltd but my peace and happiness was more important than money. I felt free and I started to make progress in achieving things. With the money that I saved while working at Hanks plus my present pay, I bought myself a car and presently I was seeking to buy a house. This house will still be in the ghetto but it will be better. Us as poor couldn't live where the rich live.
I was happy for myself but my mom was more excited. She was happy to see her baby progressing and getting over her heartbreak slowly. It was easier to slowly get over my heartbreak once I was no where near Marlon.
