Chapter 13

Valerie shifted uncomfortably on his table where she had come to rest.

Those word were familiar to her.

They were her exact words. She was referring to herself as a needy foundation. She was only using him to satisfy her financial needs. She was going to dump.him as soon as she found her ground.She only spoke to Sharon about this and no one else. How did he know?

Clinton, I can explain..she stood up from her chair

You can? Sure you do. And I too have decided that I will have nothing else to do with you. You leave my office this minute, you leave my life, you leave everything that concerns me..he said with a tone of finality

Clint you can't do this. You can't throw away our three years old relationship.she said with a meek face

Oh..he mouthed. Really? You are aware we have been together for three years and yet you kept deceiving me all those years? Do you not feel any sense of guilt within? How do you manage to walk about knowing full well how you are messing someone's life up?

It's not what you think..

And how do you know what I think?..

Actually.. err err my mum,she had an accident last week and err My father..yes..my father,he has cancer and my four siblings are supposed to be in school but there is no money and no one to help since it's been more that eight years my mother died..

Really? Wow. Your family seems to be in a lot of mess right now. What do you ladies even want? Just this minute you said your mum had an accident and the next she has been dead for eight years now

Leave my office this minute..he thundered

Please.. she knelt down in front.of him begging. I promise to change .. I love you

No you don't..

I can't live without you..

Well,I would have believed that but you are such a pathetic liar and sure you will make it easily to the pockets of another man as soon as possible

Please hear me out..

That's what I've been doing for the past three years and since you walked in here.. I would have instructed that your account be blocked but I'm really not interested. You can use the money to help your siblings, that's if they don't die before you get home..Clint said

There was mockery in his voice. She could sense it. If she wasn't careful she could go home without a penny.

With that in mind, she stood up. Dusted her knee,picked her bag up from the table and left his office without looking back

He stared at her departing self.

Suddenly his phone began to ring. He held it up and looked at the caller ID. It was the hospital.

He was perplexed. He wondered why the hospital was calling him. Were his kids okay? Did anything happen?
