Desperate love

Chapter 5: Enough!!!!!

After the dinner we all went home. I dropped Racheal at her place and without the usual smile on my face, I said good night. I got home, took a shower and laid down to sleep. But I just couldn't sleep as all I thought about was what my friends said. I felt so annoyed because of the way they bombarded me with questions, but what annoyed me the most was how I didn't know so much about a man I called my boyfriend. Immediately I took my phone and dialled David's number. On the first ring he picked up "hi babe" he said. I didn't even reply him, I just went straight to the point "we need to talk" I said. "Yes we do" he told me where and when and immediately cut the call on me. "How dare he" I thought, how could he cut the call on me. I felt so angry, that I wasn't able to sleep until 2am in the morning. I woke up the next day around 4am and prepared for work.

I got to work really early and even noticed that my secretary wasn't even here. Well it wasn't her fault, the normal time to get to work was 7am and I came as early as 5am. I just wanted to leave the house. I stayed in my office trying to prepare for the meeting our team had today. Later on I heard voices and checked the time, it was already six so I am guessing that should be the cleaning staff's. They came very early to clean the offices before everyone comes. Few minutes later I heard the door opening and my secretary walked in with a cup of coffee in her hand. She was shocked to see me sitting there " good morning ma, I didn't know you were inside". "I am so sorry if I frightened you, I came a bit early today". I said."Okay ma your coffee" she dropped it and left. After attending to some things i had the meeting with my team. It wasn't a long one since it was just for them to show me the designs. The designs were all beautiful and what Mr Evans wanted, Simple yet elegant. After the meeting I showed Mr Evans the designs and he was so happy. He told me that we can go ahead and start getting the materials together. I was happy that he was happy, because if he wasn't we would have had to redo the designs again which will be frustrating and tiring. I got to the office and saw a message from David. "Were are you" I checked the time and saw it was already 3pm which was the time we agreed to meet. Immediately I gave my secretary some instructions and left. On getting to the agreed place I see Dave sitting on a chair that was by the end of the garden. I walked up to him and sat down. "I am so sorry I'm late, I lost track of time". I said. He didn't even answer me and just said "just tell me what it was you wanted to talk about and be fast, I am a very busy man and you know". I looked at him and he wasn't even looking at me. "Speaking of knowing you, I do not know anything about you apart from what you do, where you live and your surname. "What else is there to know about me again" he said. "Dave you said you go to church, what church do you attend?, what did you read in school?, which school?, were?, I know your father who is late Mr frank Dipo, but I don't know who your mother or siblings are?. "Enough!!!!!! He shouted. "Is that the reason you said we needed to talk?. "Yes I answered, or isn't that reason enough". He stood up banged the table and pointed at me. "The next time you make me waste my time like this, you wouldn't like what I will do to you. He stood up and left abruptly. I tried to hold his hand but he slapped it off . I cried so much that my eyes were swollen, and I knew I couldn't go back to work like this so I gathered myself together and called my secretary told her I wasn't feeling to well and couldn't come back to work again. I went home and soaked my pillow, my eyes were to heavy to open, so I decided to close it for a while and I drifted to sleep. Few minutes later I was woken up by the door bell. I washed my face put on some powder and went to open the door. "Hi Clara" Racheal greeted. I was shocked to see her "Racheal you didn't tell me you were coming. "Must I tell my friend before coming to her house?. "I am just saying,what if I wasn't at home"." Well good question, Marie and I have been trying to reach you all day, but your phone wasn't going through so I decided to call your office line and I got to know that you were home. So Marie said I should come and check up on you". I forgot to remove my phone from DND. After the quarrel with Dave I put my phone on DND because I didn't want to answer any calls at all. "That reminds me, Racheal said coming closer to me. "Your secretary said you weren't well, what wrong with you?" "Nothing much just headache" I answered trying to hide my swollen eyes by bending my head. "Clara we're you crying" Racheal asked. "No I wasn't, something entered my eyes while trying to fix my room". I lied. Racheal lifted up my head quickly and when I tried to bring it down she held it in one place. "Clara you've been crying, see how red and swollen your eyes are, what happened?. Did something bad happen to your mum?. She asked. "No I answered". "Or is it your boss?" "No I still answered. "Then what is it, tell me". I couldn't hold it in anymore, I started crying. "It's Dave". "What did he do to you" she asked. "After you guys adviced me to ask him about himself, I did, but instead of answering me he shouted at me and told me that if I should ever make him waste his time like that again, I wouldn't like what he will do to me and I totally understand him because I was the cause, I asked him too many questions Racheal. Racheal hugged me and told me to stop crying. "Clara stop blaming yourself, you didn't cause anything, it's only right you ask him about himself since you two are on a relationship. if you know that this relationship is going to harm you, I advice you stop it". Meanwhile I will handle Dave. After staying with me for a while she went home. I didn't like the fact that she said she will handle dave, but I decided not to think much about it. Later that evening I called Dave to apologize for what happened earlier on and were okay.
