Departure

Jack 

I look at him, confused by his words. I expected him to give me that ultimatum. After all, this is all my fault. I lied to him and now that I see that he is losing his trust for me--because I don't know why else he would ask me to quit my job. 

"Are you serious?'' I ask him, shocked as I wipe the tears from my face. 

His expression is cold now, he looks very upset but I can see that he is trying to control himself at this moment. This is all my fault; I take all the blame. I know that much but I need him to come to his senses. 

"Yes, I can't have you working with that guy," he tells me and I shake my head. 

"It was just one time, it won't happen again,'' I try to reason with him but it seems like he is not having any of this. 

It seems like he has made up his mind.
