To Love and To Lust 2 33
All Victoria wanted was to go back home and confront Elizabeth. She couldn't believe Elizabeth had the file all along and lied about it.The fact that it was kept under her pillow made her believe Elizabeth definitely saw the file. Why did she do this to her? Victoria thought to herself.When she had gotten the office, she was relieved to give the file to Mr Smith and they concluded the meeting.She felt grateful to him as he was the one that had encouraged her to go back home and check. "So what happened to you earlier today?" Rebecca asked.Victoria snapped back to reality as she was lost deep in her thoughts. Elizabeth had adamantly denied seeing the file and had told her it would be fine when the file was in her hands.There was no denying that Elizabeth took the file as it was under her pillow and couldn't have gotten there if she didn't put them there herself."Victoria!" Rebecca called."Yes." Victoria snapped out of her thoughts. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hel

Elizabeth got up from the couch with her arms folded across her chest. "What the fuck do you want me to say to you Victoria!" She exclaimed in a harsh tone, taking Victoria by shock.Never for once has Elizabeth raised her voice this much. Victoria's eyes blinked as she looked at Elizabeth in confusion.Elizabeth had hidden her file and instead of apologizing, she could care less about anything and instead is being defensive."Wow!" Victoria muttered surprise. "You are surprised? You think I give a fuck? So what do you want me to do Victoria!" She spat out calling her by her full name which she rarely used to call her."Wow!" Victoria muttered again, still trying to comprehend the whole situation."Are you for real?" Victoria questioned puzzled."Are you asking if I am for real? For real? What do you want me to do! I mean you didn't keep your files well and I took it and hid it to teach you a lesson and you come and ask why I lied about it? You have the effrontery to approach me. Fuc

"Wow! Your man? I stole him? You had him first? I seduced him? Okay, let's say all of that is true but when was he your man? Enlighten me please." Victoria asked her."Just cut the crap already bitch!" Elizabeth spat out with a smirk on her face knowing how much Victoria hated being referred to as a bitch."Say that one more time and I promise to cut off your tongue and I will forget that you were never my best friend!" Victoria threatened but Elizabeth laughed out in return."You think I would let you? And stop with the pretense! I am not your best friend and you are not my best friend. That fake life ended the day you decided to steal my man." Elizabeth tells her sternly and firmly."Your man? I am quite ashamed and hurt for you. You are delusional. Jason doesn't even see you that way and he made it clear to you. You are just being angry Elizabeth. You are not accepting that he didn't go for you that's why you are acting this way and it's quite sad because the Elizabeth I know would

Rebecca inhaled and exhaled deeply before sitting back down. "Okay now. Go on. I'm all ears." Rebecca tells her."Elizabeth has been in love with a man for a long time but I didn't know that man was Mr Smith. She referred to him as Mathew which was the name he gave her and every day, she'd gosh about him and her meetings with him. I knew she liked someone but I didn't know he was Mr Smith because everytime I asked her about her lover's background she would get angry and tell me he is a good guy. Mr Smith and I just began dating. It's over a week now." Victoria confessed."Wow. For how long did he court you?" Rebecca asked while raising her brows in a teasing manner."Stop it." Victoria said in an attempt to not laugh."You know it's okay to laugh right. Just laugh already." Rebecca teased and she rolled her eyes at her."Okay go on already before you chew me." Rebecca said."No interruptions okay? You can only ask questions after I am done talking, promise?" She asked and Rebecca sigh

"Oh my goodness!" Rebecca froze on the spot when she saw who it was that was in front of her."Vee!" She called.She swallowed a heavy lump in her throat as she stared at the figure in front of her. She was literally shaking and giggling within her at the same time."Will you move out of the way, Miss Rebecca?" Mr Smith asked and she nodded her head almost immediately before staying out of the way so he could come in."Babe." Victoria spoke the moment her eyes landed on him. No caring if Rebecca was there, she rushed into his arms and hugged him tightly. Mr Smith wrapped his arms around her as he inhaled and exhaled deeply. He had been wanting to do that since morning. He was busy with work and once he was free, he drove to her apartment as he needed to know what was happening to her."Are you okay?" He asked and she nodded her head. A drop of tears slips her eyes but she quickly wipes them off."Thank goodness. Want to talk about it? Have you eaten? Hope it's not much for you to han

"I want us to meet," Victoria replied. "Meet? Why would I want to meet someone like you? You are literally not worth my time and I do not want to waste any time with you. I'd obviously be foolish to create time for someone as worthless as you," Elizabeth spat out. "I am only asking if we meet. It's nothing serious. I need us to talk," Victoria spoke, trying to keep her temper at bay. She didn't want Elizabeth to suddenly end the call while she was talking.

The moment everyone left and it was just Mr Smith and Mr lucky, Mr lucky decided to ask what had been in his mind since he heard what the actual problem was. "Are you sleeping with Miss Perkins?" Mr Smith was taken aback by Mr Lucky's question as he had not expected him to be so direct about it. "Are you?" Me lucky asked again, his brows rose up slightly in a questioning manner. "She's my girlfriend," he answered. He didn't want to say yes to Mr Lucky's question and male it seem like Victoria wasn't important to him and he was using her to pass time. "You are not surprised?" Mr Smith asked Mr lucky as he noticed Mr lucky had not reacted as he imagined. "Yes. It's surprising right?" Mr Lucky asked and Mr Smith hummed. "Why is that so?" Mr Smith asked, wanting to know. "Well, it's easy. You remember what you told me when I asked you why?" Mr Lucky asked. Mr Smith thought back to the time Mr lucky had asked him why he chose Victoria as a part of the programming team. "Where are you drivi

As he took a closer look at her, he saw tears in her eyes and his heart clenched. What happened to her? He thought to himself as he diverted his attention back to Mr Smith. "It seems we have got very unprofessional programmers in this company and I think it's time we remove them and recruit new ones," Mr Lucky said the moment he sat down on the chair. Rebecca played with her fingers whole avoiding contact with Mr Smith. Flora and Maryanne were ready to defend their cause as they believed they only did what was right. "What happened?" Mr Smith asked Mr lucky frantically. "I do not know what happened but these programmers are now children and have decided to engage I'm fist fights and pulling each other's hair," Mr Lucky spoke sternly.

A scowl formed on Rebecca's face immediately. She thought to herself what Elizabeth had in mind and why she was creating a scene. "You all want to know the truth right and then I shall tell you," Elizabeth said. Rebecca got up from her seat and in anger she walked towards Elizabeth. "You are not allowed here and who are you? Leave this instance before I call the guards on you," Rebecca warned but Elixir could care less. Nobody was going to stop her from saying what she had in mind today and she doesn't care about the consequences. She refused to lose to Victoria and so she will drag Victoria to the mud.

Mr Smith shook his head in disbelief. Elizabeth's attitude had changed all of a sudden once he asked if she would take the opportunity to be his girlfriend. The same girl that had acted as if she loved her best friend could suddenly care less about her and it baffled him. "So you would date me now if I asked you to?" Mr Smith asked and she nodded her head. "Of course. I mean..." She shrugged. Mr Smith got up from his chair, having heard enough from her. He didn't want to stay in the same place as her or have any conversation with her anymore. "Are you leaving?" Elizabeth asked as Mt Smith got up on his feet. "This conversation is over," he said sternly, surprising her by his action. "Over?" Her brows furrowed in confusion. What was he talking about and why did his attitude suddenly change? She thought to herself. "Yes Elizabeth. I do not want to ever speak to you again. I hope this is the last time we ever speak to one another again," he tells her in a stern manner. Elizabeth got up f

'Let meet up.' Elizabeth read the message sent to her by Mr Smith out loud. A frantic expression formed on her face. They had no plans to meet today so why was he suddenly expecting them to meet. She quickly typed her reply. 'Sure.' Not too long Mr Smith sent the address to her and she texted a reply that she would be meeting him when she closes from work. "It's done," Mr Smith said to Victoria. "So she'd be coming to meet you then. I'm nervous," Victoria sighed. Mr Smith rubbed her shoulder that was exposed softly. "You don't have to be. Things will work out fine," he assured her. She heaved a deep breath. "The truth is, I really want to make things right with her. I want to put friendship back. I miss her so much but I fear that it would never be the same," Victoria tells him. "It will be fine. I will just talk to her as we planned and clarify the whole situation and then you guys will be good again," he tells her but she has doubts. The Elizabeth that spoke to her the night she lef

That was all Victoria needed to hear. To know that her man doesn't see her as a mad woman was enough for her."Babe, come on. Tell me already. What happened between the both of you. What's going on because I do not want to be lost in all of this. Weren't you guys best friends? What happened and why does she have to say you have mental issues?" He inquired.Victoria opened her mouth to say something but she closed it back. How does she start? She thought to herself."Elizabeth and I are childhood friends, not just friends but best friends. We grew up together, went to the same high school and same college and graduated the same year. To be honest the problem between us is still baffling me.""If someone had told me that my best friend and I would no longer share the same close bond with one another again, I would have doubted. I would have fought that person because it was impossible for Elizabeth and I to stay away from each other. We were more than friends but sisters.""Our relation
