Joe's entrepreneurship journey was moving effortlessly.
He got his first project,and invited me out to a celebratory banquet out of his full excitement.
As we waited for someone to come take our order,Joe yaps on, "I am going to be the best dad ever to our baby,Racheal. Our baby would be so proud of me.
I'll pay more attention to you guys,and won't let you suffer. If you notice anything out of place,you just tell me,and I will fix it."
I barely nodded at his words.
He carried the cup of water before him and drank some before returning it back to the table.
"With all hands on deck,our company is going to higher places. Garry has been single for long, mainly because he didn't have a stable job yet but he's going to settle down very soon now that everything is shining brightly."
I grumbled under my breath, already tired of his words.
Why am I here listening to all these talks that has got nothing to do with me?
He clasped his hands on the table and slouched his figure forward,"so,if you have a very good lady from reputable packs to recommend,one that is good for marriage,let me know,we could set up a blind date for both of them."his eyes deepened as he smiles.
I scowled a little,then pulled my eyes away from him
He's like a little kid when he's happy.
He starts giving information you requested and that you didn't request.
A waitress arrived and shot me a long stare before leaning closer to say some words to Joe.
"Who is she? Where's your wife? You aren't cheating on her,are you?" She said that loud enough for me to hear.
My breathing hitched as I weighed the waitress' words.
The same moment,my supervisor texted me and told me to return to the office for urgent matters.
"You can't skip few hours of work to be with me?"Joe sounded pissed.
The earlier cheerful look on his face has been replaced with a frown.
I felt happy that he was now experiencing the disappointment I got whenever I reached out for him to support but he just turns me down.
Once,I had gone out of my way to take his meal to his workplace.
One of his colleagues had admired my outfit and asked for my digits, but Joe has turned me into a stalker because of that.
He always tokd me how suffocating I was by poking nose in his business also.
He would throw excuses of having a lot on his desk to me when I needed his help but he wanted me to abandon work for him now?
I laughed hysterically in my head.
I watched as he paced tho and fro in the restaurant,his hands at each side of his hip.
"You're the one leaving now,Racheal. Later, don't be jealous about Nelly and I beng together. And it seems also that you don't really have faith in us.
I brought you out here to clear all misunderstandings but here we are."he stated, throwing his hands up in the air.
Jealous?
A surge of coldness envelopes me and I chuckled.
I had long stopped being jealous ever since I figured it was useless in this love triangle.
I will soon step away for their blissful match to bloom.
Everything about my travel abroad was finalized and my supervisor told me I was to depart the coming Sunday.
After this, she examined my body and observed, "you don't look too good, you've lost a lot of weight. Is the cold war still on?"
I didn't respond, perhaps because I was waiting for the final verdict on everything.
I went back to my cubicle,letting out a sigh when a friend request popped up on my screen.
I accepted it,and not long after,she sent me a video.
"You're the most disgusting mistress ever!"she wrote under the video.
