Perfect SCARS

37

After an hectic work day, I was finally going home... Today is my last day at work.... That sounded so wrong

Tomorrow I get to pack my stuff and by Sunday..  I leave in the morning... I know how I felt when I saw the picture of him.. I wanted to leave that minute but things had to be done the right way...

At least I didn't exactly lose my job.... Mr Pearson gave me three months.. I haven't even thought of what I would do when the situation presents itself before me... But I'm pretty sure I won't waste all three months watching him win that election

I had called Mira to inform her that I would be joining her soon... She seemed happy and sad at the same time

I was waiting for the elevator and when it finally opened that jerk was already in it

I sighed I walked in.....

"Hi Genesis "

I hissed and Stare at the timer... A few seconds is all I need to endure this

"Aren't You at least gonna say goodbye "
I turned and stare at him
"Goodbye... Parker ".

"So You are going back to your country.... I mean that's very thoughtful. You never told me you missed home that much "

"Has there ever been a day we sat down and discuss like friends "

"I know but you created this bridge between us all by yourself... Hating me for trying to be successful at what I do...... I mean who does that.... We could have been great alliances "

"Insensitive.. Moron"

"Huh"

"Can You quit pushing it... Parker, "

"Am not... OK how about I take you out for dinner... Like an apology dinner.    "

"No... "..

"Genesis cmon "

"I said No"

"Well then you should know.. Mr Pearson is handing your client's list to me.. Pending the time you are gone "

So that's what this is about..... Mr Pearson just gave him what he's been dying to have all this while... I would rather anyone have it than Parker.. I better kiss my clients goodbye because Parker will migrate them before I can even blink

Maybe this is the time to wake up and quit this madness. What the hell am I doing ...... I worked too hard to lose my clients to this selfish egotistical moron...

I sighed heavily and when the door chims open.. I was more than ready to run out of the elevator....

I could hear him laugh softly as I hurried out .... I could just turn back now and give me a shot of my wrath but that wouldn't be necessary... I asked for this and I have to deal with it

Parker will be amused by the time I return... I'll show him the stuff I'm made of when I return

I visited my favorite coffee shop and even took my time to have the coffee there.... I'm always eagar to leave so I usually just grab it from the counter and disappear

I stare out the window and observe people pass by... After a while I went back home and begin to pack

Its actually funny I came to this country with nothing but hopes and now I'm actually packing a luggage in my apartment..

The irony of life is the complexity attached to it.. I didn't owe a pair a shoe and now i have a room full of shoes

I couldn't sleep without going through Philips family pictures... I looked at his own irony at life.... If I wasn't the victim I'd say perhaps it was his twin or something because I'd imagine him to be locked up somewhere battling with his addictions but here he is contesting for senate...

I didn't realize when I slept off but  when I woke up it was a new day...  I got to the living room Odelia was already there.... I still need to tell her about my trip or should I call it vacation

The door bell interrupts my thoughts and Odelia asked my permission to open the door and I gave her the go ahead

Who could it be this early...
My assistant walked in looking like she's been running miles

"Hi Odelia.... "
She says as she walks towards me

"So am just going to say this.... When did you plan to tell me that you are leaving "

"Is that what you came all the way here to ask me"

"Is that not enough reason.. Where You ever going to tell me about it  "

"I wasn't exactly hiding it from you... You made all the traveling preparations didn't you.... "

"I did... But you never told me about it.. I thought you were going  on a few days trip but I didn't know how long..And You weren't even going to talk to me about it  "

"Why do I have to tell you anything "

"Am I not worthy enough to know "

I fell quiet, her courage amused me.. Never.. Never has she stood up to me like this

"Ma ..... You are leaving " that was Odelia's voice

I slumped into one of couches in the living room and sighed heavily

"Yes..... Odelia, I'm going back to Nigeria "

"For.. How long "

I looked at Peters and she was furious.. Probably thinking that I can confide in my housekeeper but not her and that's not it

I'm not used to being concerned about, most times it like am the only one that cares about myself and nobody else gives a shit about me ...I dont even have friends... So I wasn't expecting to report to anyone concerning it  And here are two women who seem to be affected by my absence ..

"Peters... No Britney , I know you think I don't care about what happens to you once am gone but that's not how it is at all... You are going to get your own desk, I spoke to Pearson about it. This is a good thing for you "

"Did I complain to you.... I want to work with you Genesis "

She said firmly using my first name.. I'm surprised at Britney's outburst
She has never been so audacious. Am impressed,

"You can't expect to work for me forever "

"I'm not complaining.. " her voice breaks

"This is my life Britney.. I can chose to do anything at any time.. I'm sorry it would affect you but it has to be done"

"Ma'am .. How long pls". Odelia asked

"I dont know..... "; I rub my palms on my forehead "pls do not make this harder for me..... I don't expect either of you to wait for me infact I know alot would have changed before I return it has already started changing so ....... Just bear with me pls "

Before I could finish arms were wrapped around me and sobs filled the room
