At the time, Patrick felt as if everything was a dream."Ouch!" he said after pinching himself just to be sure it wasn't a dream.Avita stared hopelessly at Patrick, who was being overly dramatic about the whole thing, and chastised, "Are you trying to hurt yourself?"Patrick grew enraged as he glanced at Avita, who didn't seem to be impacted by anything, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"Avita looked at him, puzzled, and asked coolly, "I was going to do that just like what I'm doing right now. What were you intending to do if I told you that back then?""It is not about what I was going to do, but as partners, you should tell me everything!"“Everything! Patrick, do you think I'm a moron? Have I ever questioned you about everything you do?"“No, you haven’t but_”"I respect your privacy, and you must do the same. Can't a girl heal and consider alternative options?""Babe, I… I don't mean it that way, but this is a severe situation. You could have at least informed me."
Avita began to describe and narrate what she had been up to since being fired the previous week. Patrick's heart ached for his girlfriend as he heard more.He is aware that she was proud and hardworking to some level. It must have been incredibly tough for her to find herself in such a circumstance, and only she knows what she was going through.But he was also pleased and proud of her for not giving up and even trying new things.Avita was not an online person, so hearing that she had begun to dabble in that field made him proud as the boyfriend."So, I was thinking about starting an online clothing and accessory business. If there is enough money, I can try to create a physical store and recruit people to work in it. I'll.................... what do you think?"Patrick had been paying close attention when Avita was speaking, so he had a general idea of what she was saying.What she was attempting to do differed from what he does in that he does not become intimately engaged with wha
Avita was familiar with various respected companies that may assist her. She would have hired their services if she hadn't had troubles with her previous employer, but she didn't want to go there.On Monday, she drew down her idea and prepared the documentation required to establish her company and obtain a trading license and permit.The next day, Avita took two kombis to her location, and happily, no other clients were waiting in front of her when she got to the Accountancy firm she had chosen.As a result, she was swiftly served and informed to return in five days to pick up her processed documents.Avita was ecstatic because she had anticipated it would take much longer. After all, the process used to take a week at her previous job.The package she paid for included everything she wanted, including company registration, tax registration, bank account opening, secretarial services, a trading license, and a retail license.The only thing left was for her to open an internet busines
As she waited for the bus, Avita smiled helplessly as she listened to Patrick, who couldn't stop yapping."You must look after yourself, and if you have a bad feeling about someone, don't be afraid to seek help!" Patrick offered advice for the hundredth time."Yes, yes, yes. Don't be concerned about me. I will always look after myself!" Avita made a major pledge.Patrick sighed and gently rubbed Avita's head, saying, "That's good then."Patrick kept Avita amused for another 10 minutes before the bus driver announced that the bus was leaving.Patrick and the other family members who were sending their relatives go finally got off the bus and watched it leave.Avita was seated in a two-seater, on the inner side rather than the aisle side.Her next-door neighbor was a middle-aged woman who, fortunately for her, did not enjoy conversing too much.The bus price from Wakothanie to Gaborone was OWD 700, and the journey took 20 hours. The journey from Wakothanie to the Botswana border was ele
A FEW DAYS LATERAs she looked at the photos, she had just finished uploading to her SmileDream online store page on the Cloud Mart marketing platform, Avita smiled with satisfaction.When she arrived from Botswana the day before, she discovered that her application had been accepted and that she could begin selling.Cloud Mart's payment methods were secure, but she nevertheless linked her Cloud Mart online store to her PayPal business account, bank account, and Orange Money, a mobile phone payment service.On this particular day, Avita had been working since the morning photographing her items, which she then uploaded to her online store website with the prices listed.She can send the things over via post or delivery persons as long as someone buys. And, depending on how far away the buyer is, either she or the buyer will bear the shipping or delivery costs.She didn't mind bleeding a little if it was local, but if it was outside of Wakothanie, the buyer would have to pay the extra
Avita had no idea her future mother-in-law was about to cause her problems. She was preoccupied with her task and focused intently on the figures as if her life depended on them.It's been three weeks since she was laid off, and instead of her life spiraling out of control, it appears to be heading in the right way.Despite the loss of another source of money, she was not at the point where she could say that life had completely f****d her up.She stopped working around five o'clock, laid her work aside, and began preparing supper.Her phone rang as she was preparing dinner, and she washed her hands before picking it up with a smile."Baby girl, what's up?" She queried the caller in a cheerful tone.[Oh, it appears that someone is in a good mood!]"How can I not be happy when my best friend finally remembers me?" Avita made fun of her pal.[How can you say such a thing to me? Is this because I was too preoccupied with the client to see you?]"Ha ha, I was only joking. How are you, my
“Bang.”Avita's eyes turned red with rage as she heard the door close.'I gave you a chance, but you blew it. You've always been too laid-back for a man as if you believe I'll die if I don't have you. If you and your family want it your way, then get it.''I'm not going to be the same person anymore. For a cousin, you smack and yell at me today. What about the next day? Do you think I'll stand there and be abused and killed by the bunch of you?'Avita felt contrived. She'd never been smacked before, let alone by a man. Despite the fact that she did not grow up nicely, it has been far too long since she was beaten.Those long-forgotten memories she didn't want to revisit began to resurface in her mind.'Umphhh, I almost forgot about the primary task!' she laughed as she took out her phone.Avita just dialed a series of numbers and said, "Green light!" as soon as the phone was answered, before hanging up.Avita no longer desired to remain at the apartment. So, she put her clothes, toile
Avita sat at the bus stop, cautiously scanning all sides of the road for Felicia, who had promised to come and pick her up.'You're a jerk, Lucilla!'Lucilla suddenly became less enticing to her when she realized she wasn't answering her phone and was probably having fun at the time.Two sedans stopped immediately in front of her as she cursed Lucilla to her ninth generation, and her heart began to rush violently.'Alas, no matter how many times I see it, the fact that these folks are so wealthy breaks my heart!'She didn't need to see who was inside because she knew her driver and rescuer were there.Avita jumped to her feet and dusted herself. At the same time, the driver of one of the cars got out and approached her."Madam is waiting for you in the car," he replied emphatically.Avita, whose eyes were still red and crying, thanked the driver and added, "Thank you."The driver did not answer but assisted her in carrying the luggage, which he placed in the car boot.Avita, on the ot
