AFFAIRS OF THE HEART

Its just messed up

Evans POV

‘’So Mr. Evans, tell us a bit about yourself. ‘’

‘’Well , am twenty six years of age. I have done data analysis and statistics practically all my life. My dad was a freelance data analyst too and I used to work with him in my teen years. He taught me most if not everything I know today. I learned through apprenticeship sometimes and acquired necessary knowledge for this position. I work best under minimimal or even no supervison. I am quite eloquent , a hardworker and a team player. I am neither sloppy nor lazy.I believe you will find me as a good investment to your firm.’’

‘’How do you work under pressure , Mr Evans’’

I swear that interviewer had something against me. He just didn’t like me and I could see it.

‘’Well, under pressure sir, I try my level best to provide maximum results to my capabilities. I maximize on my resources and get the job done .’’

‘’Are you sure , Mr,Evans’’

‘’Y..yes pretty sure.’’

‘’Okay I guess that would be all for now. We’ll get back to you when we can.’’

‘’Here is my CV and my application letter sir ,’’

‘’Just leave it with the receptionist on your way out. Good day .’’

‘’Good day, gentlemen.’’

Did I do something wrong to that guy. Does he for some reason hate me for something that I know nothing about apparently? This was just the worst of my worst days. Nothing was working out for me. What are the odds that there was the same interviewer in both interviews and it was the one who hated me. I was devasted. Mostly when I was devastated I would gp and talk to Grace but this proved not to be a solution. I went to my apartment confused. I cancelled my meetings for the day and sulked my way to my house.

The same way as last time. I was not happy .The number of times I blamed karma for my misfortunes that day were so many times. It got to a point where I started thinking of all the people I had wronged in my life and how maybe this was a way of the universe punishing me because of what I had done. I wanted this day to end so badly. I passed over at Graces coffee shop to check up and see if I could talk to her. Traffic was bad that day too so I could swear the universe had it for me that day.

As I entered the coffee shop, I Could notice the increase in the number of customers that day ,my section especially was filled to the max and I couldn’t think of anything else but to look for her,

I needed some encouragement mostly from Grace since I had missed her too. I couldn’t spot her. I looked everywhere for her but couldn’t be able to spot her.

"Hey baby, how you doing? " Claus said as Monica picked up her phone

"Hey, Wassup"

"How you been ?"

"I've been good baby , just thinking about you, about us ."

"I miss you, Izzy does too!"

"I miss you guys more am sure."

"so ..how's school so far?"

"School is okay , am still missing you !"

" So , what's new?"

"Nothing much really "

"So I met your ex today, shorter than I thought to be honest"

"what !how? ,where ?"

"He came to my headquarters offices , for an interview and I was scheduled for a meeting there and when I was doing my routine runs I met up with the interviewer panel and they shared the names of the interviewees, and I happened to see Evans King application and I just couldn't resist."

"Babe, no way!"

"Yeah am serious, I was shocked too but I was kind of relieved that I would be the reason why he will have a shitty day today. "

"Babe, "

" Don't worry though , I was abit linient with him , I felt the urge to punch him once in a while , but I killed the urge . Besides that wouldn't be so professional now would it?"

I just couldn't believe my ears ,like what were the odds that my ex and my fling/boyfriend/boss would meet that way. This world surely is really small. I felt kind of happy too no lie , imagining how nervous and unprofessional he made him feel

"So how did it go"

"Well it was going I guess. "

"Going how, babe there is something you ain't telling me ."

" Yes it went ,well good...."

"Babe"

"Good for me at least , for him it was one of the worst days if you ask me."

" I was too soft for him though so don't worry your pretty head about it, okay."

"I did it for you though babe, you know "

"The reason for everything I do these days actually is you."

"Hey babe I didn't tell you to do it though, you did it on your own , I am not part of it. So don't put me on any of that s**t , please"

"Heeey ,it's just a figure of speech, though has alot of truth in it any way. That should tell you that I really treasure you and your feelings dear."

"So how did he reach to that., I am curious."

"He couldn't believe it ofcourse, he was confident, overqualified too but I just wanted to see him pathetic and squarming for mercy like he made you feel."

"I appreciate the thought, but don't you think it kind of unfair to punish him like that" I said as I was trying to convince myself that I was actually sympathetic but even me I knew I was happy deep down forwhat he did . But I couldn't show it so bluntly , I don't want to seem bluntly harsh like that

"All I can say is he deserved it."
