Even though Jamal was running late for work, he put aside his freshly bought groceries and took a seat opposite Lola while observing her intently.
"Lola, I know you are seeking revenge for what that a**hole did to you. If I were in your shoes, I guess I'd probably do worse than you."
"Thanks for understanding ..."
"I'm not done." Jamal interrupted Lola.
Lola pouted while checking the time on the wall clock. "Alright, but hurry up. You're already running late."
"I will try." Jamal took in a deep breath to steady his pounding heart.
"Lola, Ian Forde deserves all the misery in this world for all the pain he has cost you. However, going back to work for him and remaining his employee will only destroy you. It will give him and your colleagues the power to taunt you."
