I slept fitfully last night. I don't know why maybe it was the fact that the reality that me and Matt are going our separate ways. It was heartbreaking there was no other way for me. I can't deal with any more of this uncertainty. Once I woke up there was an unexpected visitor for me. My father had decided to intervene in my life once again. He wanted to advise me on my love life again. Does he ever learn? I already know the answer to my question. Lisa had awkwardly brought him inside. He was also his ex well kind of. They were engaged but only under extreme duress and I knew she regretted it every second."So I hadn't heard wrong?", he said unpleasantly."How can I help you?", I asked him trying my tone even."What are you doing in here?", he asked me."I'm staying with my best friend for a while till I figure things out", I said."Figure out what? You are supposed to do one thing and you can't even get it right", he said with contempt."I don't understand. Can you speak plainly?", I
I got dressed for the office. I would rather think of it as a battle. I knew the things that would be waiting for at the office were nothing short of war. I have to find a way to survive it and I have to do it alone. I found Rashid already waiting for me when I reached outside Lisa's house. I bit my lips nervously. I wanted to tell him off mercilessly but I knew it was not the right thing to do. He is only an employee of Matt. I shouldn't blame him for obeying his orders."I don't want you to be with me anymore", I said to him. Christ, why was I sounding like a girl who wants to get rid of a guy? He stayed silent as though he was waiting for me to finish my words."I will stay with Lisa from now on. Me and Matt are going our separate ways. Thanks for everything though", I said."I didn't get an order from Mr Farrell yet. I would humbly request you to let me do my job till I have it", he said."Maybe it is because of my pregnancy. I guess it is only a couple of months more", I said. Af
"To my office", I said to him trying to reign myself. This was a hospital I reminded myself for the hundredth time."What about the tests? When will you do that?", he asked tersely."When I feel like it", I said sarcastically. "You better do the tests right now", he said. "Excuse me. Why now? I have to work. I will come in the evening to do them. The doctor will understand", I said. "Just do the tests Meredith", he said. "I can't I'm late already", I said wanting to stomp my feet so badly because of frustration. "You can go after the tests", he said through clenched teeth. "What about you? You will go to your office like every time after ordering me right? It is always the woman who has to take instruction from a man even if it is about her baby", I said seething. "I will stay with you of course. I want to be there", he said voice so low and tight with emotions. "Fine", I said. I knew there was going to be hell to pay while going to my office. The tests were done. He waited
"The board meeting happened and you weren't there", he said."I had an emergency", I said to him."Ok. Your father looked angry", he said."My father gets angry easily, especially at me. I'm staying overtime as he told though", I said."Woah! It is your company Mer. You don't have to work bloody overtime", he said annoyed."It is ok. I would be working at home anyway", I said."I too have some work to finish up", he said."Ok. Good luck with that", I said rising."Can we do it together? Your room is much more bigger and comfortable than mine", he said."Why not?", I told him.He looked surprisingly happy that I let him use my office. It had a better view than his. I hardly sit and stare at the view though but whenever I feel a little stuck. I watch the window to feel alive. It soothes me. I never thought that it was a privilege until now.When I related what happened to Lisa she snorted. She said she has yet to see the day when Parker works. He is not that bad though. He did get some
"Are you happy now?", I asked him unable to keep the snarkiness from my tone."I would have been happy if I got to punch him", he said. I couldn't understand whether he was joking or not."You wouldn't dare", I said."It is not a matter of dare", he said leaning back on the car seat. I wanted to ask him why he was behaving this way but I knew the answer already he wanted to be in control of me and I was letting him."I'm not going home. When I said it I meant Lisa's place", I said."I figured", he said giving directions to our home."What are you doing?", I asked him."I changed my mind. You aren't going anywhere till the three months are over", he said."It is only twenty-seven days left", I said."I know. I can keep you home at least till that day", he said."I'm not going to forgive you for this", I said."Yes. It is a small price to pay for your safety", he said."What do you mean?", I asked him."You keep making bad decisions. It seems like I can't trust you where the baby is con
I have lost the ability to argue with my husband or the stubborn Mrs Morgan so I served them with my greatest weapon silent treatment. I don't know how effective it will be because they would feel far more blessed with my silence than my words sting me a little. But I refuse to let them take more space in my head. It should be reserved for my baby and work not for my estranged husband. I don't know what he wants to prove by holding a piece of paper above my head. It is only a few more days then I'm free to leave him. I just have to wait for that day.The morning came and I went to my office taking extreme measures not to have an encounter with my husband again.I saw Lisa who had been hurrying down the hall with a box. I got worried what happened? I knew something was define wrong."Lisa why are you clearing the office?", I asked her."I'm not doing it for me. Matt fired Parker", she said gleefully."What the fuck!", I asked surprised."He didn't hold that kind of power in here", I sa
I was so powerless that it made me irritated. I worked like I was possessed. I had tried for a few supply orders and a few replies came back. I was ecstatic to know that we would be finally able to pay him back if my father forgo his salary for the month. I knew the fight was going to be tough and I would find a way to let it happen. My father should sacrifice something for the first time in his life and it is going to be tough to convince him. I will do it somehow. It is going to fetch me my freedom.I asked Lisa to make an appointment and she said my father was too busy for his daughter. I nearly wondered whether he knew what I was going to ask him. Is that why he wasn't seeing me? I finally decided to go and meet him. I don't fucking care about the consequences anymore."Hello father", I said to my father who was watching something on his laptop. I discovered it was a YouTube video. I neatly rolled my eyes when he closed the screen too quickly."I'm busy", he said to me."I know bu
The day is finally here. We had just sent the cheque to Matt. I'm sure he didn't expect a payment from our side. But then again neither did I. But I tried my level best and I achieved what was considered an impossible task. I was proud of every employee who didn't take their salary for this month. Ultimately my father agreed to sacrifice his share as well. He can't anger everyone else in the company. Even he wasn't dumb enough to think that he could survive alone. He knew it was impossible to overcome the wrath of his board members especially when he had plans to increase his salary soon. He hadn't told me explicitly but I saw that on his laptop while I was preparing his presentation.We ended the celebration with a pizza party and the payment I had transferred from my father's account. He was furious when he found it out. But I convinced him how important was it to lift the employee morale. He agreed fuming. I knew my days as an executive and CEO were getting near the end and my acti
