Episode 24
i could still feel his gaze on me, i prayed silently that he shouldn’t be someone who knows my dad if not my plan would be ruined
i knocked on my Boss office after I made enquiry from Rita her secretary, she order me in
Me: ma you called me?
LadyMay: yes! Who gave you the audacity to talk back on my son fiance?
Me: i’m sorry ma it’s won’t repeat itself again
i simply apologize to make it easy, instead she came to where i stood and hold my hand,
LadyMay: the next time you try that again i’ll make sure you have a taste of jail
i just stare at her, Esther came in that instance
Me: then i have to resign God won’t let me die of hunger
i saw her mouth open ajar, but i didn’t mean what i said
Esther: what? No no no Mary don’t resign okay, mum!!!
LadyMay: who cares if she resign or not
What i saw in her eye was confusing, i saw mixture of fear and regret
Me: i have to go nw ma
i bow my head while leaving she stared at me till i was out of sight
Esther’s POV
i was in my office when Treasure came in, she didn’t smile so i asked her
Me: what is it Tee?
Tee: i saw Jerry with Mary i know your mum saw us!
Me: ehhe? Is that why you frowned your face?
Tee: i tried to keep up the game, she talked back at me i know your mom will definitely sent for her
i made sense to me, i excuss Treasure and walked out heading to my mother’s office, true to Tee’s word there was Mary standing i heard her said she will resign
Me: what? No no no Mary don’t resign okay, mum!!!
Mum replied but she wasn’t stable with her word, she spoke like someone who regret doing something
Mum: who cares if she resign or not
Mary: i have to go nw ma
When mary closed the door i heave a sigh and sat on the couch in her office
Me: mum that was close
She kept quiet staring at nothing exactly
Me: Hmmm mum Jerry would just hang himself if Mary resign although i know where she live
Mum looked at me
Mum: really?
Me: yeah
Mum: then why not tell your brother then the game kick on in full
i thought for awhile and i saw the idea is a good one
Jerry POV
i was set for MARY’S apartment that evening, my sister suggest i pay her a visit maybe i could win her heart fully i drove to the address she (Esther) gave me
The address was confusing i shrugged and walked in since there was no body like gate keeper
i walked to the iron protector door and knock lightly as described by Esther i heard “i’m coming in a British accent” i nearly conclude that i have succeeded in knocking on another’s person residence
The door open she step out to the varenda folding her arms in her chest
Mary: Mr Jerry what can I do for you?
Me: at least open this!
i point at the iron bugglery door, she hesitate before she open up
Me: thank you
She didn’t respond instead she locked the door and walked in, i didn’t have any choice than to follow suit
Me: you have a nice apartment here
Mary: my aunt’s apartment not mine okay
i nod then focus my gaze on her, she threw her face sideway i took that opportunity and sat next to her in the double sitter couch , i hold her hand she didn’t resist or move
Me: Mary i know you won’t believe me but just carry it in mind that i love you i’ll do anything to protect you from now henceforth, i will have to stand up and choose who i want to be with
She turn slowly to face me, i smiled at her, she smiled back
Mary: Jerry i love you too but it’s can’t work between us we’re from two different world
Me: who cares if you’re poor and who even told you that you are poor? Listen Mary my love for you isn’t about status of any kind okay,
Mary: what about Treasure?
i smiled at her
Me: she is fine where she is nw
She punch me playfully
Mary: c’mmon that’s not what i mean! How will you cope with her possessive manner, i don’t want to visit the hospital anytime soon
i chuckled then sqÂŁÂŁzed her hand lightly
Me: I’ll do everything to make sure you’re protected okay
She nodded and i pulled her in a tight hug
Me: i love you baby
Mary: since i met you i fell inlove with you
i smiled amidst then peck her fore head
Me: let go somewhere and chill off
