Today Joyce and I went shopping and as usual Joyce would shop like her life depends on it. After shopping we went to a salon to get our hair and nails done. "So.....?" Joyce asked. "What?" I asked. "How did it go yesterday?" Joyce asked. "Um.....it was OK....I guess" I said casually. "Come on Lilith I need the details".
"Well I met him and he said I got the Job" I said. Joyce screamed in excitement. "Yes!!! I knew you could do it" Joyce said. "BUT" I said. "But what?" Joyce asked. "But I told him I needed more time to think about it" I said.
"YOU DID WHAT?!!!" Joyce screamed, everyone in the salon looked at us. "Why would you do something as stupid as that?" Joyce asked. "The last time I checked it's not being stupid" I said.
"Really?.....then what would you call it?" Joyce said. "It's called being sensible.....you can't expect me a just accept it just like that" I said. "That's what I expected you to do.....Lilith we both know you need this job badly and it's a once in a life time opportunity...please all I'm asking is for you not to screw things up" Joyce said. I sigh.
"Are you aware that if I take this job, I wouldn't stay here anymore...perhaps he stays in Germany I'd have to live there." I said. "It's a chance you should be willing to take...Lilith what's more important? You taking this job and earn a decent income or stay here and be tortured by your family and that maniac Wesley?" Joyce asked.
"I just want to be sure this is the right thing to do" I said. Joyce took both my hands and squeezed it tightly. "Lilith I'm your best friend and I want what's best for you....this job would be the best thing that would happen to you" Joyce said. We both hugged each other. When we were done we went back home.
It's been one week since I met the guy and I've still been thinking about the offer. Well my seven days vacation was over.....I mean sooner or later it was bound to happen. Wesley always comes over everyday, with chocolates and roses.
It's so annoying.....and it's as if that's not bad enough, he always sends wedding dress to my house every single day and I always throw it out. I've been so busy at work lately, who would have thought that the seven days Mr White gave me wasn't for free. Now I have a lot of paper work to attend to.
I went downstairs to get an important file for Mr White. I got downstairs and I asked Chris to give me the document. He handed it to me and I was about going upstairs but Angela stopped me. "Lilith!!!.....I'm so happy for you" Angela said.
"Why?" I asked. "Don't pretend like you don't know girl" Angela said. "Angela I have no idea what you're talking about" I said. "Well pretend all you want but he's a good choice" Angela said. I ignored Angela's crazy talk and I went back to my office.
I went to my office, I relaxed my palm on my face thinking about what Angela said. He's a good choice? What in Heaven's name was she taking about?. I know Angela, she can't just start talking nonsense without a reason. I began my work and soon after I got a text from Joyce saying "have you seen it the news?".
"seen what news?" I asked. Then she sent me an email, I opened it. It was an invitation to a wedding, I looked closer and I realized that it was a wedding invite to Wesley wedding.
I jumped up for joy cause now that he's getting married, he wouldn't disturb me again. But my joy turned sour when I read it well. The invite says, we here by invite you to the wedding ceremony of Wesley and Lilith. I immediately spat out the coffee in my mouth.
When did I agree to this? No one said anything about a wedding...no one told me I was getting married. Joyce called me and I answered. "Have you read it?" Joyce asked. "Yeah...when did I agree to marry that son of a bitch?" I asked.
"That's exactly what I want to know...did you say yes?" Joyce asked. "No.....heck no.....I could never marry him...perhaps there's a logical explanation for this" I said "Like what?" Joyce asked. "I don't know but I'm gonna find out pretty soon.
Work was over and I thought of storming to my parents house but Joyce said it wasn't a good idea. I went over to Joyce house. "How? How is it possible that I am getting married on Saturday?" I asked. "I knew that bastard was up to no good?" Nathaniel said. "What do you want to do about" Joyce said.
"You need to leave the country as soon as possible" Nathaniel said. "What? Why?" I asked. "Because we both know what your Father is capable of...perhaps he might have you kidnapped and you'd have to marry a guy you don't love" Nathaniel said.
"Is that the only solution?" I asked. "Well.....there is another way" Joyce said. "What's the other way?" I said. "You have to accept the offer" Joyce said."What?!!! Is that my only option?" I asked.
"Or you could marry doctor maniac" Nathaniel said. So this is it.....this is how my life ends because of a guy. Nathaniel's right though it's either I work abroad or I marry Wesley....I'd Definitely pick work abroad.
"So what's your decision?" Nathaniel asked. I took a deep breath. "Yes" I said. "What is it?" Joyce ask. "I'd rather work abroad than to my Wesley" I said. "It's settled then, I'd Inform friend about it" Nathaniel said.
"Alright....I have to go home" I said. "You can't" Joyce said. "Why not?" I asked in confusion. "We don't want any accident...your dad might have some trick off his sleeves" Nathaniel said. "Come on I'd show you to your room." Joyce said.
I looked at Nathaniel and Joyce, they're the only people that care about me. I gave them a bear tight hug before going upstairs.
