It was Sunday, the day we were to leave and honestly I regretted the journey more than even getting raped by Mr Peterson. My heart was shattered and I could tell Jerry's was worse.
"Take care of yourself o. And Alex, thank you for taking care of my Thelma. You both look wonderful together." My mother said to Jerry as she gave him a kiss on the cheeks. My father didn't follow us back to the airport and honestly, neither of us seemed to care.
"Thank you Mrs Badmus for the weekend. It was wonderful and a real eye opener for me." Jerry said with a smile.. a fake one I could tell. I knew the last statement he made was directed to me.
"Bye bye Mama." I said and gave a last hug to my mother before we departed to get on the plane.
"I'm sorry again." I said to Jerry as we got into the plane and sat down.
"It's fine. Let's just get back to Lagos." Jerry said as he puts on his headphones and closed his eyes... I knew that was to avoid hearing whatever I was to attempt saying next.

~ Few days later ~
"Give this to Thelma." I heard Jerry talking to Tolu again this week. Jerry was actively trying to avoid talking with me and directed all my instructions either through mail or Tolu.
I couldn't take it anymore so I stomped to his office ready to pound on him.
"Jerry!" I fired as they both looked up to me. Tolu was shocked about the way I called Jerry.
"I'll be outside sir." Tolu said and excused himself leaving just I and Jerry alone in his office.
"You know this is an office right? You can't go about yelling my first name like that." He said disinterested as he began punching some keys on his laptop.
"You think ignoring me all week is the solution? All because I said no? Did you even ask me why I couldn't be with you at that moment? Did you care about what I may have been feeling on the inside? No! All you men ever care about is just yourself!"
I couldn't believe I had just said all that and I could tell Jerry was really shocked as I was. It was quiet for awhile as I was full of rage... I couldn't take it anymore.
"If you're not going to talk to me in the office, then I'll just resign." My mouth was really saying things I didn't ever believe it would. I was angry at Jerry... he was being so inconsiderate about my feelings.
He was quiet again looking at me for confirmation of what I just said.
"Fine, then resign." The words came out coldly from his mouth as my heart skipped a beat. I couldn't believe I was hearing Jerry say this.
Did I just hear him well?
"F-fine." I stammered and left his office, running a bit as I got to the bathroom and began crying. I wasn't sure why I was crying but I needed to. I cried to my hearts content before making my way to the accountant's office where I tendered my resignation letter. I wrote it in my office should in case I needed it... and sadly I did.
That was it! I was walking out of the company with my little box in my hand consisting of all my office documents. Luckily I got to keep the company's car and they paid me a huge sum of money too. I looked up to Jerry's office one last time hoping he would come running after me or something at the very least but no, nothing happened.
"Fuck you Jerry." I said to myself as I got into my car and drove off. I hoped I never set eyes on him ever again.

How was this chapter guys?
I know!!! Tensed right?
Do you think Thelma made the right decision by leaving?
Do you think Jerry is being inconsiderate? Or his actions are justified?
Leave a comment about what you think and vote too😊🤗❤️ thanks.
This is the part 1 of Ch26 so the part 2 would be dropped soon. The next chapter is gonna be Jerry's POV!! (So you'll see things from his point of view and why he made his decisions)
Thanks for the support all the way.
