He'll Never Let Me Go

2§

Hailey

It felt right, oh-so right to see him again after 6 months.

Lately, I've just been myself, thinking.

I've been broke and I can't just suddenly change that fact. As much as I want to say that I am fine, I just can't. I've consulted few banks that can lend me some loan and start finding a job. But none, absolutely none, of them would accept what I was asking for.

So I had no other choice.

After few days of thinking of what to do and how to get out of this shit-hole, There was absolutely no other way but to just ask him. He's the only person that I can possibly ask.

But I just can't get the fact that why should I pay him my ownself when he can just ask me to return him the money slowly once, I found a job.

And what's with my presence that can let me pay my debt?

What's in me that can make me pay the debt?

What do I have that can let me pay my debt?

I just don't get it at all!

"Look, I can't pay you with myself. I have rights and I need you to respect me, as a human being. I also don't need your money if you're asking me to pay you back with my own-self." I opened my mouth to speak and spat those words at him...harshly.

"Then, fine. Though I know a lot of places where you can lend some money, I won't tell you. You may leave." He coldly said as he looked at his wristwatch. I twiddled my fingers and bowed down. I brought myself back to my mental state.

Should I let him get what he want?...

Or should I let him be?...

think Hailey...

Think.

That's it!

I should know why does he want me, what are his reasons, and why was he willing.

Great thinking, brain!- note the sarcasm.

"Fine. But before I agree into this...answer me. Why do you want my presence in exchange of ten grand?" I raised one of my eyebrows at him and crossed both of my arms.

"I can't answer that. Now, to the next question. I know you, Hailey." He stated coldly.

Consider him. That's what I need to do.

"Fine. Last Question, Why were you willing?" I asked him as I narrowed both of my eyes. Still, both of my eyebrows furrowed and my arms crossed.

"I still can't answer that." He stated boldly as he took a seat on one of his office chairs and looked at his wristwatch.

I breathed in heavily and closed my eyes. I untangled my arms and clenched my fists tightly.

Breathe in, breathe out. Hailey, chill.

But I just can't.

I've considered him when I asked the first question. But I can't consider his side due to the fact that he did not answer both of my questions.

I also can't agree in this agreement because basically speaking, I am clueless. No matter how many time I think about his side, I can't. Simply because I am not him. I do not know the way he thinks even if I've worked for him for nearly two years.

I snapped out of my mental state and tried reading Aldenbert's expression.

He was uncontrollably tapping his fingers against the desk with his jaws clenched and he was sighing multiple times in a row.
