An Affair With The Boss✔️

Chapter twenty three

"Shanelle I worry about you too much."

Alice and I are here outside my apartment while I hang my laundry.

"I'm fine Alice, you don't have to worry about."

I tried to calm myself down.

I don't want her to see me weak.

So that she doesn't have to worry.

"What? If I were in your situation, I would stay away from your boss."

I stopped hanging my shirt and faced her.

"I thought about that too, but it seems like I can't do it."

Yes it is true.

I'm not that brave when it comes to love, I'm weak.

My heart is soft.

Yes, I am fragile.

"You have to do that for yourself! Do you understand?"

I didn't answer her and continued what I was doing.

"Shanelle, think about yourself too, he is not the only man in the world."

I thought she supported me.

"Alice, I can't be in love with someone else.."

"Damnit Shanelle! You're so weak in that kind of thing! I hate you to be honest!"

Alice look upset

"I'm sorry Alice, I disappointed you. I know how you worried about me."

She stood up from the chair and came to me.

"Shanelle you're a fool, sorry to say that word but that's the way you are, you've never cared about people around you. I'll leave you now."

I just closed my eyes at what she said..

Can I let go the man I love?

I whispered to myself.

Because of the affair we had, their family name was ruined, Karen was angry with me and Alice was sulking.

Is this really how love works?

Our world spinned around only to one person, we don't care if we crashed over someone, even if we hurt someone, because we're selfish for love.

I wiped my tears.

I did not notice that I was crying already.

If only my parents still alive, maybe I would have someone to lean on.

Maybe that's why I became like this because I was looking for love.

Someone who will understand me and care for me.

I'm alone in this world.

Maybe sometimes not all love is worth fighting for.

Tim and I belong in wrong the generation.

and maybe it's not for both of us because it's forbidden and complicated.

I smiled bitterly.

But it was too late and we were hurt.

I took my cell phone from my pocket.

and made a dialed..

We need to talk, we were good friends once too.

At first she didn't answer

On the second call she answered.

"What the hell do you want? Are you looking for my husband?! well he ran away from me because of you!"

She said angrily.

"Karen, I want to apologized I'm really sorry."

I cried.

"For what? Why do you feel guilty? I thought you didn't have that?"

She's mocking me.

"For the good of all, I'm leaving."

She faked a laugh on the line.

"Why? you're funny Shanelle, it's really too late now! You ruined everything Shanelle!"

Yes.. I know.

"Take care of Tim, he will learn to love you someday."

"Oh wow? you don't need to say that! I took care of him and if it wasn't from you he wouldn't have left me!"

I also heard Karen sobbing.

"So Shanelle are you happy huh?"

We are both hurts in different way.

She is hurting because Tim doesn't love her.

I'm hurt because Tim and I aren't meant to be.

"Karen, I hope you will forgive me."

"Do you want me to forgive you?"

I know exactly what she wants to say

"Yes." I said.

"Leave Tim alone! don't contact him anymore!"

After that, Karen ended the call.

Now I have to leave, I have savings.

I'll just leave it here my other stuff.

When I left my apartment, I texted Alice.

I'll let her take care of my things here.

I will not also tell Tim about my plan.

I want him to be happy...

and I hope he will forgive me.

Maybe I need to accept that...

loving him is a mistake.
