79、Jealousy
They stared at each other boldly in the eyes. She felt disrespected. She knew she would have no option than to bend down and pick it up. She has seen the amount on the floor. It was a tempting amount. She had so many things she will do with the money.
“Stop looking at me like that, Miss Orton. You know you don’t have choice than to pick it.” He stood up from his seat. “Pick the cheque from the floor and get the hell out of my office.” He started clearing his desk.
“You are wasting my time. Like I said before, I have a date by twelve pm and I don’t want to keep her waiting.”
Jennifer felt like fighting him, she felt like giving him a bite that will leave a tribal mark in his skin. She was very angry and broken.
Angry that he threw the cheque at her, hurt and broken that he was going out to a date with another lady.
She wanted to talk about the date but she couldn’t. She didn’t want to let him know she was still dying for him. The fact she had told him she hate him made it impossible. She could not talk about it.
“You know why I’m taking this cheque? Because….” She tried to complete her statement and Mike interrupted and said, “Because you need it. You can’t go without it. no one have given you that amount of money in your entire life. iPhone twelve pro is just a thousand dollars.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“I’m not taking this money because of all these rubbish you said. You broke my phone, so I’m taking the money for my phone and compensation of the documents I may had lost.” Jennifer said and picked up the cheque, along with her phone.
“I’ve paid for the phone. Take your sim card and drop the phone. Its now mine.”
She glanced at him nonchalantly and made her way out of the office. Mike called her back but she did not even look back. She opened the door and left. On her way out of the school, a wicked thought crept into her mind.
She changed direction and headed to the parking lot. She knew Mike’s car. She looked around to check if someone was watching her and leaned down. She was jealous of Mike’s date so she wanted to keep him from going.
She flattened two of his car tire by unscrewing the tire valve and left.
Mike came out and entered his car, he noticed there was a problem. He got down and looked down on to see two of his tires flat.
He was tired. There was no way he could drive the car that way to the house. He did not even have any date. He was just telling her to get her jealous, now he won’t be able to go home with his car.
He left the car there and ordered a brand new car. In less than five minutes, a red small car cruised from no where and he entered inside and drove home with reckless abandon.
