Chapter Twenty-Six (PRT 2)

Jeremy's POV
I had been doing my best to avoid Thelma all week... I couldn't face her and I wasn't sure why... I was scared or embarrassed I wasn't sure but I just wasn't ready to see her yet.

"Give this to Thelma." I gave Tolu further instructions to be given to her since they were close and I had used mail for her previous assignments.

"Jerry!" She yelled as she barged into my office. I was taken aback by her action and so also was Tolu. She was fuming and didn't look one bit happy.

"I'll be outside sir." Tolu said and runs off leaving I and this angered animal alone. I was shitting my pants but decided to act cool as always.

"You know this is an office right? You can't go about yelling my first name like that." I said as cool as I could as I opened my laptop to avoid having to look at her. I guess that wasn't the best move I could have taken.

I took peeps at her while I punched random keys on my laptop and her face was swollen with anger.

"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!"

Wow I certainly wasn't expecting this from her... I knew my decisions was a bit immature but that was the way I was used to addressing my problems since I started having them.

"If you're not going to talk to me in the office, then I'll just resign." She continued. Why would she even say something like that... so this was her solution? So she could have it all easy by resigning and never having to see me again?

If that was what she wanted, then she should do it. "Fine, then resign." I blurted out and continued facing my laptop.

"F-fine." She stuttered and blazed away from my office. A huge part of me wanted to call her back, apologize for it all and beg her to stay but I lost the battle when I said she should resign.

I never imagined my story with Thelma would come to an abrupt end like this, I never imagined a day passing by where I wouldn't have to see her beautiful face, or even her smile whenever I made one of my dumb jokes.

I sat there for what felt like days... my butt cheeks began to ache as my eyes were shot red. I was searching for answer, no I was waiting for her to come back and tell me it was just a big joke and this would all be over... nothing, no one ever came back.

I looked over at the window from my office and noticed her. She was carrying a box and made her way to the car I got her under the disguise of a company's car... I didn't like the fact she was following the company's bus to work everyday.

She looked up to my office, I wasn't sure if she could see me, but I begged at that point. For the first time I found myself crumbled with sadness as she murmured some words which I couldn't decipher and entered her car before speeding off.

That was it! My Thelma was gone. Suddenly the office felt too tight and the air conditioning didn't seem to work fine again. My fingers were numb as my eyes were failing me. It felt watery... I wondered what this liquid substance could be? Maybe the roof was having a leakage and it dropped onto my face... I knew it was all a lie but I didn't want to accept the fact that I was crying because of her, because of Thelma Badmus my personal assistant who just resigned.

How was the second half of this chapter guys?

You've seen things from Jerry's POV so now you know that he also wasn't happy about Thelma's decisions.

I feel Jerry was a coward and could've stopped her if he wanted🤔
What do you think?

I also feel Thelma was too quick to take a rash decision like that🤔

Anyways vote and leave a comment 😊🤗❤️

Thank you
