" Susan Richards why will you do that to me why?". Susan raises up her head abruptly , she has never heard him call full name , she was surprised looking into his eyes she saw it. She saw how deeply her decision hurt him .
" Am sorry! " was all she could come up with. Jerry looked at her with his red eyes while running his palm on his face in frustration. The memory of what happened earlier in the meeting too. flooded his brain.
After she present the signed document and the deal has been finalized, Jerry as the CEO shook hands with the investors while they bid their farewell. They had stayed in this country well enough, assistant Matt and two VP escort them to their cars.
Those people are very understanding, after they left Susan brought out an envelop from her bag, everyone was looking at her waiting for another show but the bomb she dropped awe all of them.
Some has been chanting her name as the next director of HR department since the director has being demoted. " Here! " she passed the envelop to the CEO, after he opened it and saw what it was he loss all his composure. " What the hell is this wifey?"
All others that are present are shell shocked to hear that, wife or what did he just said? Jerry faced them and yell at the top of his lungs to keep their mouth shut. " Yes ! you all heard me she is my wife and keep the hell up. If any word leave this room you are doomed." He lashed out on them.
" Jerry can you keep your voice down for a second? am having an headache." Sudan said pleading with her eyes.
" Why should I keep my voice down when I don't know what is going on? hmmmm? "Jerry lost it with vein on his head showing how pissed he is.
" Jerry please! that is what I should do. I have secured the project for you and I want to ..." Susan was cut mid way.
" You want to resign? Why don't you discussed it with me? for your information I will not approve this!" The directors at the two, they did not know what to do or say. Thou they all wish Susan to stay but they understand she must have her reasons too but their CEO is probably throwing tantrum . Jerry made for the door, he did not have the mood to stay and continue the meeting, thou they need to discuss the project but right now he need to get out of here before he loss it.
" It is time I go back Jerry! " Susan said when Jerry is at the door, no one underground but he understand perfectly what she is talking about. She want to go back to her country. With that statement all his insecurity resurface with series of questions echoing in his head. ' Did she want to leave me? will she go back to her husband? am I too clingy? '.
He looked back at her but the did not say anything , he left the room while others too followed. Susan knows the news is too sudden for him , she also asked the laid to wheel her to his office but throughout their stay in the office he did not say anything into her.
" Am sorry Jerry , am sorry ." he voice brought him out of his stupor .
" Am i not good enough for you? why do you want to go back? " He asked holding her hand. " Why will you say such thing Jey! you are more than good for me, what else should i ask for. I know it is too sudden and my decision is selfish but it is time I put an end to all of this. I can not continue to hide and let those bastard waste my fathers sweat. Please I have to go back and face the music."
" You don't need all your father's wealth babe, I am more than enough for me all my wealth is yours , please stay with me. I can do without you. Please! " Jerry kissed her knuckles.
" I know love you are my everything but just give me a chance I will be back before you know it. I have to deal with them. I have to come back as your better half not someone beneath you, I need to come back as someone of you equal not as someone that rely in you totally. Baby please let me go for sometime and get back what is mine."
" You don't have to prove yourself for anybody to see your worth. I know what you are capable off. Do you understand! " Susan nod with tears in her eyes.
" Baby I know you are afraid but I need to do this, so I can stay with you and bear your children with no burden."
" I understand and I know they have hurt you but ..."
" I know what you want to say love! Even if I don't avenge myself at least I need to do it for my mother. I lost the most important person in my life because of their greedy, my blood boils when I remembered how she was betrayed you need to ...." her voice choke while she break down in tears.
Jerry felt his heart being squeezed with an invisible hand at her sight, he has never seen her like this. " Sorry baby, am sorry, don't cry again please. You know you don't have to tell me if you are. of ready to share it. I understand and I will wait for you. " Jerry said wiping her tears. " She quickly wipe her tears, she did not like being seen in a miserable state.
" No !!! am ready to tell you everything. It is not overdue and I appreciate your understanding, you are one in a million." Jerry smile at her and peck her forehead.
"It started when....."
