SIBA
Days passed and I was thinking about what my Aunt said. I am grateful for what she did for my Mother, but there's no way I'm going to let her use me like that. If I give her the money, she's going to come back for more and more until she eventually sucks me dry.
What I did following up on my first pay was to secretly get myself a new place in town.
Closer to the firm. It was a bachelor's flat. R3200 a month, It's a bit expensive but way better than staying in a toxic environment.
Yes she did curse me when I went to fetch my clothes, that was highly expected of her. That's the person she is and unfortunately I can't do anything about it...
Neo: I need that file
I got it and handed it to him
Neo: Thank you
Neo: Are you okay?
Me: I'm fine
Neo: How are things between you and Razor?
Me: We are okay
Neo: I'm glad to hear that
We weren't really okay, but I'm not about to put my business out there.
He walked away and went to his office. I took my phone and went to Instagram. Razor had uploaded a picture of the party, I went to a few comments and clicked on a few people who seemed to have been at the party, judging from their comments. Some had posted pictures of the party, and I was shocked when two or three pictures of Ray surfaced with some girl. On the others they looked cozy, there was one picture where he was kissing the girl. I took a screenshot and sent it to him, then I typed:
"Great party I see"
He read but didn't reply..
I kept myself busy with work to avoid overthinking about my Aunt and Razor, Razor was indeed too good to be true. I'm not too shocked about this..
The door to Neo's office flung open as we were in a meeting. Just him and me though, no client. Razor walked in followed by Khethi
He looked at me..
Razor: I need to talk to you
Khethi: I tried stopping him Neo
Neo: It's okay
Khethi: Should I call security?
Neo: No it's okay, thank you
Khethi walked out..
Razor: I need to talk to you
Me: There's nothing to talk about
Razor: There is something to talk about
Me: I have nothing to say all I'm going to say is that we might be done
Razor: So you were looking for a reason to dump me?
Me: Why look when the reason just fell on me from the sky? I thank the heavens
He walked over without saying anything, then he grabbed my arm and made me stand up.
Razor: I'm not having that
Me: Let go of me
He shook me..
Razor: I said we need to talk!
Neo: She said she doesn't wanna talk to you! Razor: Bly hiervan Neo! (stay out of this)
Neo: I don't think so... This is my office and you harassing my Employee
Razor: You enjoying this aren't you?
Neo: Why should I enjoy you manhandling a woman?
Me: Tell me something did you sleep with her?
Razor looked at me for a while..
Razor: It wasn't serious, it just what happens in Parties. Just having fun!
Me: Well if I was at that party and slept with someone, were you going to like it?
Razor: This is not about you is it?
Neo: Razor leave
Neo: I said stay out of this!
Neo picked up the phone and dialed Khethi..
Neo: We might need that security after all
Razor let go of me..
Razor: We not done
He clicked his tongue and walked out...
Neo: Are you okay?
I sat down again..
Me: I'm fine
Neo: Not the reaction I expected
Me: Yelling and crying what is it going to change? It's not like it will undo the deed
He smiled a little..
Neo: That's very true
I looked at the time..
Me: It's my lunch break, I have to go and get something to eat
Neo: Yes of course.. See you later
I ate lunch alone when Kat's call came through..
Me: Hey
Kat: Hey
(silence)
Kat: Are you alright?
Me: I'm okay
Kat: Don't ever think what you did was wrong, If I was in the your shoes I would've long left
I chuckled..
Me: It was about time
Kat: I'm sorry for everything my Mother put you through
Me: It's okay.. It's not your fault
Kat: So how is your new place?
Me: You should come by this weekend and visit
Kat: I'd like that very much
Me: Yeah.. See you Friday then
Kat: Okay Cuz
Me: Bye
Kat: Bye
After my lunch I went back to work, Neo was swamped..
Me: I thought you would've long left for lunch
Neo: I'm still a bit busy
Me: Lunch is important
Neo: Thank you, I'll consider that next time
We looked at each other and laughed..
Me: I'll go get you something, what would you like?
Neo: Anything, just surprise me
I went to the canteen and got him some juice and a sandwich. Then I took it back to him.
Neo: Thank you
Me: If you need me just shout
Neo: I'll do so
I walked out and went to my station..
NEO
What Siba earlier on made me speechless. A woman who knows what she wants and doesn't second guess when it comes to her dignity. Mostly, a woman would just lose it after finding out that she got cheated on but she handled it well, she knows her worth.
None of the women I've been with ever did that, they just cry for that second and then come back to you. With a Person like Razor I expected her to cry and cry, but she didn't. Didn't care about him, his status and money. She dumped him on the spot and didn't care.
I looked at her through the glass, she was reading something. Fully focused on whatever it was she doing. She would occasionally tuck her hair back when it got in the way, I was really impressed with her today..
RAZOR
After doing that coke I looked at myself in the mirror. No girl has ever dumped me before, who does she think she is? Girls I've been with would only throw a tantrum then collect themselves after a few minutes..
She dumped me! Didn't even care about my explanation. I punched the mirror several times until my hand started bleeding.
