A Charger, A Secretary, And Our Final Straw
When we're in a meeting during an overtime shift, Jazmine Garcia's secretary, Alvin Bauer, whisks a powerbank from her bag, as if it's the most natural thing to do in this world.
Jazmine merely glances at him. She opts not to comment anything and just continue the meeting instead.
The next morning, I hand over a divorce agreement that I've just printed. Jazmine chucks it into the trash can impatiently.
"All this just because Alvin used my powerbank?"
I nod for a moment before shaking my head.
"It's because he never told you that he wanted to use your powerbank, and yet he took it from your bag in a natural manner. On top of that, you didn't stop him from using your powerbank, too."
Jazmine shoots me a nasty glance at my words. Then, she drops her signature onto the divorce agreement before throwing it at my face.
"You really have too much free time on your hands! All you do is pay attention to such menial matters and picking fights with me over them!
"I've already signed the divorce agreement! I'll have you know that since you have the guts to bring up divorce, you should be ready to suffer from the consequences! I will never go back to you!"
Jazmine and I are childhood friends, and our relationship has spanned for more than 20 years. She refuses to believe that I'll give up on our relationship over such a petty matter in such a short time.
But the straw that ends up crushing the camel is never the final straw.
