His Obsession

02

I had been glaring at the letter for about an hour now and I'm absolutely terrified of opening it. As soon as I obtained the letter from the foreign guy-whom I think my boss sent- I set it carefully down on the dining table and have been staring at it anxiously as if the letter consists of a missile or something.

I don't know what to expect. Maybe my boss finally chose to accept my resignation letter and let me go. I pondered to myself. I exhaled loudly before leaning forward and getting the letter off the table and gripped it in my hand before opening it while inhaling a lungful of AIR. I slid my thumb under the red sticker that sealed the letter and freed it carefully and prepared to scan it.

Dear miss stone,

I wish to meet you at the company in my office at sharp at 1 o'clock. Please make certain you remain punctual as your reports here illustrate and show up at the office at the time indicated. I'll be awaiting you tomorrow so we can review your letter accepting your departure.

CEO OF JACOB ENTERPRISES.

I blinked. momentarily stunned for two reasons; first, how he didn't allude to that I had walked in on one of his sexcapades, and secondly that he answered. I thought probably he would Wanna forget about what had taken place and would've come to the denouement that I wasn't worth it. Guess not.

I mean it was pretty evident he realized it had been me because I don't think anyone else was away or not working for over a week and that it was me who had walked in on him. I can still hear it hear him calling my name instead of the woman beneath him.

I shivered inwardly, beyond disgusted at the images swirling through my mind. I wish I had bleach to sanitize my mind and clean everything of that night away.

I sighed- a thing I'd been doing a lot lately and thought about how tomorrow is gonna turn out. I was already tired even thinking about it. I cleaned and tidied everything up before placing myself and Avery to sleep. Whenever she stayed over at my house she declined to sleep in any other room and would fall asleep in my room holding my thumb like she was now, I pecked her lovingly on her forehead and pulled the covers up to her neck -that's how she liked it- and turned off the lights and fell into a deep slumber.

Morning came remarkably early for my liking and the first thing I did was to drop Avery off at nursery school with a promise that I'll bring her chocolates and a new episode of telly tubbies after that I left home and altered from comfortable pajamas into my work attire which was a black skirt and a white button-up tucked into my skirt combined with my black simple yet comfortable pumps that were work approved. For my naturally highlighted hair, I side braided them neatly and tied them with a red hairband, I was never the one who wore a lot of makeup so I just went my same old natural makeup with was a slight blush, mascara, and a coat of strawberry lip gloss.

I swept my eyes over my curvy figure and checked myself thoroughly in the full-length mirror I had set up a month ago on the right side of my door, and gave myself a nod of approval and picked up my purse from the dresser and went out the door of my small house after double-checking to make sure it was locked and went to hail a cab since my car had a breakdown and stopped working a few days ago. That reminded me I have to pick it up at around 5 today.

I waved my hand as I saw a cab approaching and sat inside when it stopped at my curb as I shut the door behind me I told the driver the address to my former company and he began to drive. The trees and the houses were a blur as the taxi whizzed past them. As soon as I saw the company's emasculate gray building become more and more clear my nerves set in as my hand suddenly started to become clammy and sweaty, I wiped my hand shakily on my skirt and closed my eyes while taking a deep breath. After a couple of minutes too short the taxi finally came to a stop I got and paid the taxi what I owed and made my way over to it.

I stood in front of my former building and stared up at it for a few moments and it wasn't until it started to drizzle a little that I decided to put on my big girl panties and made my way inside. I opened the large glass door and made my way over to the reception where Glenda sat. She gave me a warm smile as I approached her and leaned over the aisle to hug me. Glenda was like a mother to me, whenever I needed emotional uplifting or was having a bad day at the office she was always there for me.

''Hey darling, How have you been?'' she asked, her eyes sweeping over me to check if I'd been eating properly. I smiled lightly at her, '' Good, how has everything been here?'' she looked at me with a hint of sadness in her grey eyes and a sad smile and said, ''dull without you.'' I sighed and said, ''I'm sorry, Glenda. You know if what happened hadn't had happened I would've still been working here.'' She nodded solemnly.

Before I had rushed out of the office Glenda had stopped me and asked what was wrong and I had told her everything that I had seen and heard while crying my eyes out she had consulted me and strictly told me to stop working here and to find another job because I had potential and that she better not see me here again because she couldn't bear to see me hurt and crying.

''Sweetie, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you not to come again?'' she asked, confused.

I nodded at her ''I-i well I didn't wanna come and as you had suggested I had already started looking for a job but last night I received a letter from a guy and in the letter it said to meet here at one o'clock and that they'll only go through with my resignation if I come here and discuss it with them'' I explained.

She opened her mouth to answer but before she could her phone rang she gave me an apologetic smile and held up a finger before answering the phone and after an exchange of words she put the phone back into the receiver and looked up at me.

''The big man wants you.'' she gave me a sympathetic smile and waved over at the elevator that took us directly to the main office.

''Okay, I'll meet you when I get back.'' I gave her one last hug before ambling over to the elevators.

I pressed the button which showed button fifty and waited with bated breath as the elevator moved upwards. I don't if it was just me but the elevator was moving at an excruciatingly slow speed, I waited while tapping my foot impatiently against the floor of the elevator, and after a while when it dinged I made my way out of it greeting and having small chat with all of my colleagues on the way and finally made it to my boss's or Ex boss's office with a deep breath and hand moving over my skirt to smooth out wrinkles, I knocked.

''Come in,'' I heard a deep voice answer and I slowly turned the handle and went inside.

''Hello sir,'' I said with a voice so confident I even shocked myself.

He stood at the window of his large office that overlooked the city. I always found the view breathtaking because of all the buildings and how the houses looked from here I removed my eyes from the beautiful view and focused on the man standing in front of it broad shoulders, strong neck, and the same bronze hair that I remember from the last time

''Hello Ava,'' I shivered the way his deep voice said my name and I'm not sure whether It was from disgust or something else. ''Good to know you followed my instructions.'' He paused a beat ''Though I doubted you'd showed up, you proved me wrong just like you do always.''

His declaration had me confused because as far as I could remember I only met him once and that was last week- when he, you know what he was doing- but before that, I don't have any memory of him.

I was brought out of my thinking when he turned around- finally- so I could put a face to that deep sensual voice and be left breathless when he did. ''Nice to finally meet you personally. I'm Jacob.'' He told with a panty-dropping smile.
