“You seem to hate not having to smoke, even though I have warned you not to." I walked directly to Seth's position. I had been in my room ever since watching him, and since I lacked anything worth doing, I decided, Why don’t I go confront him? It might be fun, and he might have also forgotten the way I had treated him.Seth calmly greeted me the moment he saw me approaching him. “Sorry, ma'am, I couldn’t help myself,” he said, puffing the cigar in front of me even as I was only just playing around; I mean, he wouldn’t have known that.I was shocked at his sudden change in demeanor. He made sure to keep a safe distance and offered the respect that I asked for.I should make amends; I don’t entirely dislike him. If for anything, he is the only driver I have had who has been able to withstand me and my tantrums. Others would have just taken their bags and left, but he stayed, which is quite remarkable.Or maybe I shouldn't... It is best if he continues to treat me as superior.Seth turne
“What do you mean by resignation?” I slowly eyed the envelope. I turned away from him, opening the car to take out my bag before I closed it, hanging the bag over my shoulders.Seth still had it facing me, and he didn’t seem to want to take it back.Isn’t this what I wanted? To finally have him gone, but then again, I never said it should come this easy. I hate when I get what I want so easily.Seth sighed before saying, “I don’t think I can work for you anymore; I have—”“That—” I interrupted him as we both paused. I thought he was going to go ahead and speak, but he waited for me to continue. “No, I am sorry; go ahead; you were saying..."“I was just..." Seth stopped again. Was he nervous? I don’t think he is. It was sort of like he wanted to get this done, but I wasn’t giving him a chance to. “I wanted to say that I have spoken to Mr. Michaels, and he said, "I interrupted him again. “You have spoken to my husband? When?” My forehead furrowed, sounding surprised, not knowing he had
I went after Seth, ensuring not to cause a scene in front of everyone until he was about to get into his room. I was losing my mind and yet still didn’t care; everything in my life recently has had me insane.“Why are you quitting?"Is it because of the nasty things that I have said to you?” I promptly asked him, and he did listen to my voice as he stopped in his tracks. For a while, I thought he would at least turn, but he didn’t. He simply walked away.Oh God, what am I about to do?"Who is going to drive me? I can't drive." Surprisingly, my question managed to get his attention.“You have two other drivers; don’t worry, you will be fine,” Seth reassured.“Every single one of them is busy, every... David isn’t available because he followed Michael; Ralph is under the weather, and clearly I can’t force him to work; I am just left with you. I am also sure Michael doesn’t know this, which is why he wanted me to process your erm. Whatever you just made me do,” I closed my eyes, feeling f
“What is it?” I exhaled out, seeming uninterested, expecting that whatever she might say was possibly just one of her random gossips, and though it does rile me up sometimes, I wasn’t in the mood for it.“I just heard Melissa is having an affair; can you believe that?” Brianna revealed as my jaw dropped, utterly shocked and somewhat interested now, until something else caught my attention.Seth is seriously leaving?“Scarlett, are you with me?” Brianna tried to bring my attention back to our conversation: “You would think that Melissa would give a damn given that you and Michael had the same issue; thank God it all turned out to be false; people will stoop so low as to get a reaction."“Mhm…” “Brianna I will be heading to your place tomorrow; we can discuss all about this then."I tried to end the conversation as soon as possible, but she still wanted to keep going.“I guess I will be seeing your sexy driver tomorrow then,” Brianna said estactically.I scrunched my nose up, glaring
“No way, no way; I don’t believe it, and her husband allows it." My mouth opened wide at this revelation. I was eager to hear more, and I know Brianna was too.“Of course he is also in on it. As you are now, my mouth was also opened wide when I first found out,” Brianna said after getting up from her seat. “Would you like to have anything? Water, tea, coffee…”"No, please, I am not here for that. Have your seat back; we still have a whole lot to discuss and are just getting started.” I politely refused. I know she doesn’t have a lot, so I needed to save myself the trouble of listening to her go on about how she lacks one or two things to offer.Brianna sat down as she continued, “If we were to look at it, I think we should call it a kink, because there is no other explanation than this."“At least it better be right; you almost had me when you said she was having an affair; if the husband is in on it, then I don’t think it is; any way, continue." I tried to clear out the mistake she m
A new week has just begun, and so many things have happened at a fast pace. Carmela and Leo went to camp, leaving me just by myself. I have visited so many of my friends' places in under two days, and these days Brianna comes by quite often, and I don’t object.After being deep in thought for a while, I decided to do the unthinkable, to go after the one person that at least made me angry and question a whole lot of things. It was stupid, but who cares?All I needed was his address, my keys, a ward of cash, and what was left of my self-worth.Seth address according to the GPS because I hardly knew I was heading there; it is quite a small town, and everyone here was either driving trucks, some had on straw hats, or it was more like they were ranch owners.I still had no clue where exactly his address was because I just took this out of his employee file, but I know I was on the right track.Not wanting to get lost, I stopped and asked for help in figuring out his area. “Excuse me,” I tr
It made no sense that I had planned on saying everything, and there I am feeling like a fool for not thinking of anything tangible to say. Seth simply walked away, and I was confused about whether to follow him or not. I wasn’t in the position to move around in a place where I didn’t already feel welcomed.Seth appeared again with a towel and a cup of tea, as his mother told him to. He flung the towel at me, expecting that I was quick enough to catch it, and I did, feeling delighted for that. He dropped the tea on the dining table and waited until I had dried myself with the towel before collecting it from my hand.I was a nervous mess when I took the cup of tea in my hand, with it almost pouring from my hand. I drank it quickly, trying to avoid his eyes, but it was clear Seth had a score to settle with me.“You can drive?” He suddenly asked, and I choked on my tea, coughing out, but Seth was unfazed; he didn’t even try to offer me water. What sort of man is this?Regaining myself, I
“You drove all the way here, parked in front of my house, and didn’t even dare come out,” Seth said.“You saw that I was waiting?” I was confused; I could have sworn that no one did, and for as long as I stood there, I am sure he didn’t seem to be my car or me.“Mrs. Thatcher, look around you. How many people have you seen driving this sort of car since you came? I believe none." Seth pointed that out, and I understood better. I mean, it is true that I haven’t seen anybody as affluent as I am, not bragging. “I want you to leave; you are invading my privacy even though I have already quit my job as you requested."“Requested? Seth, I never wanted you to quit your job."My voice rose in defense, and Seth looked worried as he stared at the door Ruth had gone into.“We should talk outside,” Seth said before leaving the house, expecting that I would follow him, which I did.We stood at where the pile of firewood I had seen Seth cut in half yesterday was; they were all wet now. I knew I had
