Chapter 72 - THE THREAT

After i spoke with my mom, I realized Drey had left the office leaving just I and Kimberly. I guess he went to the cafeteria, I stood up and was walking to the door, as I walked pass Kimberly she stood up and stepped in front of me. " You can enjoy the moment while it lasts, but have it in mind that it won't last long" she said in a very dreadful voice. " What do you mean by that?" I asked. " Are you threatening me? ". " Oh please.. I do not have time for treats my dear". She said. She leaned forward and whispered into my ears. " I will make you disappear, there will be no single trace of you" . She moved back and gave me a deadly smile. I stood like a statue, I couldn't move, Goosebumps were all over my body. She sounded very scary and cold. I looked at her and swallowed hard. No! I wasn't going to allow her scare me, I wasn't going to allow her threaten me. I looked at her and said with all seriousness. "If anything happens to me, Drey will not take it lightly with you". She laughed so hard for a while and slowly walked up to me. I wanted to move back but I didn't want her to know I was scared so I stood still. She stood right in front of me and said. "By the time I'm done, Drey wouldn't even remember you exist... I'll make sure he doesn't remember your last name". She said in a very cold tone looking into my eyes. My heartbeat increased, for some reason I felt she meant every word she said. I quickly headed for the door but she held me back.

My heart sank. She leaned forward and whispered " if you tell Drey about our little conversation, I'll make sure you disappear faster". She released my hand and walked away. I left the office for the cafeteria. I needed fresh air. I got to the cafeteria but Drey wasn't there, I ordered a cup of coffee. As I held the cup my hands kept shaking, I was thinking of everything Kimberly just said. " She's going to make me disappear" what does that even mean? And she'll make sure Drey doesn't remember my last name? And the worst part is that I can't even tell Drey. I was really frustrated, I mean what did I do wrong? Or I ever did was fall in love. Why does it seem like I'm being punished for that. I inhaled deeply and shut my eyes. I was trying so hard to forget everything Kimberly said and focus on what is on ground, the annual conference. That's what is important now. After the conference I'll deal with Kimberly, I'll confront her woman to woman.

I left the cafeteria much later, as I needed to calm down. I got a call from Drey and he asked me to meet him at Jacqlin's place. I took a cab and arrived there, Drey was the first to come welcome me, he hugged me and pecked my lips. I looked at him for a while... I wanted to tell so badly about what Kimberly said, but I couldn't. I bow my head in fear and disappointment. He raised my head and asked. " Are you okay?" . " Want to tell me something?" He asked. "No!" I shouted out of fear. " Okkk" he said looking at me in a weird manner.
