The Girl He Never Noticed [ep30]

I knew I hurt Kendra’s
feelings. I have to. She
knew from the very
start that falling in love
was not part of our
deal. She asked me a
question, and I just
answered her honestly.
I remembered the
mixed emotions that
played on Kendra’s face
when I said NO. She
suddenly looked so pale,
despite her heavy make
up. I thought she was
about to cry and get
hysterical. But, she
cleared her throat and
lifted her chin up. She
appeared fully
recovered. Then, she
gave us her practiced
smile, like she always
did in her print ads.
“It’s okay, Eros. You will
love me sooner or
later.” She confidently
said, with her thick
eyelashes battering on
me.
You’re wrong. My brain
answered. I chose not
to argue with her
statement. I didn’t
want to pursue the
issue anymore.
I took Kendra home.
The truth that I didn’t
love her, had no effect
on her behaviour
towards me. She still
clung like a leech! And
this time, she became
more aggressive.
This should stop before
she will expect too
much from me. She
crossed the bounderies
we set in our
relationship. She even
looks determine to take
it to a higher level.
“Kendra, we should
stop seeing each other.
It’s time to part ways.”
“Why? You found
another f*cking buddy?
HA! Men don’t discard
me, Eros. I do. I’ll be the
one to call a halt, not
you. Remember that.”
She suddenly went out
of the car and banged
the door forcefully.
D--n, this is my
favorite car. I gritted
my teeth, when she
left.
She was furious. Good!
It was better that way.
I hope, she would leave
me alone now.
I was watching Jade on
the TV screen, sleeping.
She looked so tired. I
continued observing her
while I put on my white
Tshirt and trousers.
Yeah, I pitied her,
waking up so early to
come here for work.
But, that was her job.
She was well paid for it.
Work should be valued.
It was a blessing and a
commitment that one
should take seriously.
I may be rich. But still, I
rose early, worked hard
and stroke a business
opportunity. That was
my formula for success.
I checked the time on
my watch, it was eight
a.m. I went out of my
room and strode
directly to the kitchen.
Then, I saw Jade,
sleeping quietly. Her
arms pillowed her head
on the counter table.
I observed her for a
while, studying her face
while sleeping. My
thoughts suddenly
drifted to the past.
No. She couldn’t be her.
I went to the fridge and
took some eggs and
sausages. Yup, I cooked
my own breakfast,
sometimes, dinner. I
enjoyed the liberty of
scanning the fridge and
chose my own meal. I
was a big man with a
big appetite, besides I
was conscious of what
I ate. That was part of
keeping fit and healthy.
After I toasted some
bread, and fried the
eggs and the sausages,
I put the food on the
kitchen table. My
breakfast was ready,
except for my coffee. I
was really anticipating
the taste of my coffee
since I woke up.
I looked at Jade, and
she was still sleeping
peacefully. I went closer
to her to wake her.
Then, I noticed the hi-
tech CCTV camera
blinked with a faint
screeching sound and
moved slowly to focus.
D--n!
“Where’s my coffee,
Miss Collins! I’ve been
calling you in the
intercom, three times
already.” I lied. “I don’t
tolerate my employees
sleeping while at work!

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR. FROM ALL OF US AT LIVEINTEL WE SAY THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR YEAR THIS GREAT.
