The next day , I rushed to my office room and called Elsa. I'm glad I can talk to her as much as I need without any charge.
"Bonjour. "
"Elsaaaaaa I miss youuu. "
"Moi aussi. "
"Elsa I'm Jessy stop speaking french for God's sake. "
" I know. Annoying you is in my blood little sis. How are you all ?"
*A moment of silence. *
"Dad entered the hospital last night. But he's okay don't worry. "
"His heart again ?"
"Yeah ..."
"I have good friends in here. Do you want me to ask them to pay for the hospital ?"
"No Mr. Bean payed. "
"Who's Mr.Bean?! " , she replied laughing.
"Jason , the son of Alex. I work for him now. "
"Oh! You told me that. How is he treating you ?"
Before I answered, Jason himself entered.
"Yeah Jessy, how am I treating you ?"
OMG as usual I forget to turn the speaker off.
I told Elsa good bye and stood up waiting for him to curse."You can only use the phone for work purposes. "
I nodded and said : " How did you know about my dad's case and why did you pay ?"
"First I live in the same neighborhood which I'm not grateful for. Second , I'd love to see you suffer more and more for a long period of time. I mean you'll need time to cover more than $40 000. "
I didn't answer. If I did he will definitely fire me from work.
His blank face soon turned into a guilty face and he said :" I just hate your father for dragging dad into poker and you resemble him physically and of course your personalities are alike."
I couldn't stay demure :
" I swear you're mentally retarded ! We both know that my father wasn't the one to drag your father into poker! My father was honest enough to share a secret with his best friend !"
He yelled , became red and scared the pee out of me :
" Why did he share such a harmful secret ! What a great best friend. "
"You know I blamed my father enough for making us lose him and the money. You're illogical. Go talk to your dad and he'll tell you the truth , bozo !"
I'm glad he didn't yell at me for using such language.
"He's freaking dead my dad. "
" I'm sorry , I loved Alex too. Same goes for my dad. "
Before Jason could speak , Isabelle interrupted us. She's so devilish this girl. She was wearing a beautiful floral dress which made her even more beautiful than ever.
She looked at me fiercely. Before she could speak , I lied :" Okay Mr. Bean I'll make sure I'll complete this document before tomorrow night. "
He smiled at me as if he was saying "thank you" and then he left with his girlfriend holding hands.I don't know why but his smile enlightened my heart. It made my day ! I worked really hard this day and every time Jason passed by my office I used to wait for him to open a discussion with me but he never did. What was I thinking of ! He still hates me !"
I finished work, drank a cup of frappuchino and to my surprise, I bumped into my ex-boyfriend who stared at me with wide eyes. What was he doing here !
"Hey. "
"Hi. I need to work. The door is open, you can leave. "
"Jessy, I'm really glad you're being that strong after all that happened to you. I know I wasn't the ideal boyfriend but I came here to apologize. "
"You're a jerk. "
"Thank you. "
"You left me when I needed you the most. "
"I'm sorry. "
"Yeah because sorry is a magical word that will change what you have done. OMG thank you. "
"Leave her alone. You made her suffer enough. "
What the heck was Jason doing in here ! I swear this guy is bipolar.
"Oh , so you're the boss who turned Jessy's life into misery ?" , my ex-boyfriend teased.
Jason glared at me full of anger and then he said:" And I'm ready to turn it into hell!"
Last summer , when I was telling Sam the truth, I told him that I might work for a guy who's ready to turn my life into a misery. I regret telling him this but at least I'm sure he was listening back then.
I left the company and went back home to eat "tortellini. " I have no idea how mom got the ingredients but I don't care. I love food.
