ELIZABETH'S POV
"Elizabeth dear,are you sure you want this?"
Mum's worried voice drew nearer and nearer to my room while I hurriedly finished getting dressed to meet her for another phase of this topic.
"No I don't, but I have to"
I told her softly as my fingers lingered on her dry cheeks to caress her face and I picked up my bag ready to exit my room. She was now leaning on my door, making way for me to go downstairs and get breakfast. I felt her arms hug me from behind when I was at the kitchen counter getting my food,her breaths heavy and her face glued to my back. I wish I could really listen to her and not go through with my resignation but I needed it for my sanity.
When I turned to face her, she looked really worried and I felt guilty when some sort of fear dominated her beautiful face. It took everything in me not to tear the letter in my bag to see her smile but we both know that even if I didn't want to do it, I have to .
"What's that I see on your face mother,worry and fear? Let your mind be at rest mum. Everything will be fine"
I softly told her with smiles on my face while caressing her face with one hand and held her with another. She let out a deep long breath and graced me with a lengthy smile that I was contented with,minutes later,I left for Sparks Enterprise.I really have no other issues apart from those and won't leave if not for them.
Granted,the first one was my duty but how do I classify the second and how many more dead bodies or such bad occurrence should I be expecting? Situations like that are not what I want to witness in this little time of mine on earth, rather I want to spend it happily with people I love and doing things I love.
"What is this!?"
Kimberly's angry voice echoed from behind me, abruptly stopping my legs from stepping through the main exit of Sparks Enterprise. I had packed everything I needed from my office and was making my way to evacuate the organization's premises when she suddenly caught up with me with my letter tightly wrapped in her fingers.
Her face held disbelief like she expected more from me and this was out of it but I was not to be blamed,this damned place is. I had already gotten a new job as an accountant somewhere near our house and at this,mum was beyond happy knowing she could visit more frequently so was I.
"I'm resigning"
"And under what reasons are you doing that?"
She retorted back fiercely with arms around her chest and looked at me like I was sprouting some nonsense she couldn't assimilate. I badly wanted to scream to ask her if the last deadly incident wasn't enough reason to resign but I knew better and just kept mute staring at her displeased face while I made sure mine gave out no emotions whatsoever.
She looked at me in awe and pure surprise,shook her head in disapproval and came closer in an attempt to touch me but I was quick to step right back. After staring at me for minutes, she spoke up with a tired sigh,
"Listen Elizabeth, you've been appointed as our accountant and now you want to leave?"
I should have been happy, jumping in contentment or surprised. Hell! I should even throw Kimberly ma'am hugs and pepper her with kisses but that wasn't the case and wouldn't happen because this situation was bound to happen. I knew this beforehand, I knew that something big and really tempting that wouldn't need an arm stretch would come my way,easy to get without any stress, the moment I decide to leave. I knew because it had always been like that. When I decide to leave, that's precisely when I got the actual position I applied for, isn't that just suspicious and fishy? All the more reasons to really get the hell out of this place.
Upon all of Kimberly's high angry voice and shouting,not one single soul interrupted our conversation or told us to keep our voices low. Then and there,I knew this place is contagious to all my aspect of living and normality.
With the help of various body signals and her eyes,she sent me pleading looks but failed woefully as I only shook my head no in total disagreement to whatever those messages meant.
I was already looking forward to my new place of work and she just had no rights in coming in the way of that. It was wrong and not fair.
It was wrong of them to keep me as personal assistant to someone I've never heard of or known for seven months and decide to give me my dream job the moment I tendered my resignation letter. On their side,it is wrong, while on mine,it is absolutely right I leave this place and I was sure I wasn't making the wrong decision.
"So you really going huh,even if the pay gets doubled and you get more incentives?"
Her voice came out strong and confident I thought she wasn't the same person pleading with me minutes ago. Her demeanor and pose had suddenly changed from plead to certainty. Did she think those incentives of theirs would make me stay? She better not, else she had something else coming.
Amusement overtook her once worried face while confidence and some sort of assurance overtook her pleading voice and eyes as she shook her head pitifully at me when I replied
"No way"
Once again,I stared at her in surprise and took in her expression. It looked like she was mocking me and couldn't wait to see me running back here to accept my appointment in desperation. But I knew whatever she was thinking would not happen because leaving this place at this time was and is the right choice. I cannot be mistaken.
Because I am me
Because it always happens like this
Because it was ordained to happen.
And because the revelations were never wrong
