"I've been informed about everything. Claire told me" uncle Gilbert approached restless Eunice "what's wrong Eunice? You're not showing me the vibrant and energetic Eunice again,I was so hurt when Claire told me you trembled seeing Jimmy" he asked worriedly.
"Uncle I wanna quit. I can't continue this job,I can't anymore,I can't..."
"Listen Eunice,listen..."
She had promised herself she won't cry anymore because of Jimmy three years ago,but now she was in tears. She felt foolish.
"I can't Gilbert. Seeing Jimmy to me is like a horrible past I don't want to re...me...mb...er" she wailed.
"Look dear. It's not been easy for anyone,the issue has affected us also"
"That's why I want to quit. I'll go there tomorrow with a resignation letter" she promised.
"...but you just got the job! You won't quit because of Jimmy now,will you? You won't sacrifice all your happiness because of him,you won't show him he won,will you?" He asked.
She was quiet.
"Look at you Eunice. I know in the inside you're still strong. I trust you Eunice. Please,don't quit your job. I'm not saying it's because of Jimmy,but it'll be hard to get another one" Gilbert said.
She was calm now.
"It's not easy Gilbert" she sobbed.
"I know...I know... Not for me,not for anyone. But,you have to be strong. You're not the one that has to be trembling seeing Jimmy,it's the other way around. 'cos he's the one that offended you" Gilbert said, putting sense into Eunice's head "so you won't quit the job right?" He concluded.
"I'm sorry Gilbert. I was being hysteric. I promise I won't quit the job" she promised.
"That's my girl" he hugged her.
