All Chapters of Her Perfect Revenge : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"My sincere apologies!" I let out, trying to avoid hitting more people. My eyes met those of the voice I was hearing."Thane!" I exclaimed, "What are you doing here?" I asked, stretching out my hand for a handshake.“Oh, not something I'll want to talk about." He said as we shook hands, his facial expression changing."You look sad all of a sudden, what's the matter?" I asked, as we slowly moved to a chair close by to sit. "There's no matter." He lied, pointing his nose. "Yeah, go on, you need to do exactly what you're doing now," I said, casting a goofy glance at him."Do what?" He asked, looking intently at me. "Point your nose. You know what happens to Pinocchio huh?" I joked, looking squarely at him."Oh, there you go! Goofy you!" He let out, laughing. "You look better, happy," I said, looking intently at him."Oh.... Yeah, who doesn't?" He said, nervously, adjusting his shirt which wasn't disarranged. "You look bothered, and you know you're not good at hiding things like these,

In no time, the doctor arrived; he was checking Jora with his stethoscope, and she was now calm and stabilized. It looked strange that she had begun to convulse after being confirmed okay by the doctor."She's stabilized now." He let out, heading out, "Please hold on, Doctor, what... What if the convulsion starts again?" I asked, my heart racing within me. "She won't, he replied dismissingly.I watched her intently, counting her breath, hoping the convulsion wouldn't start again. She seemed to be sleeping sweetly; it, however, got strange and weird when she had been sleeping for the following hours.I was now concerned and had to call the doctor's attention. Her family were still there too. "She's in stable condition," he said, sure. "But she's been sleeping for too long now," I asked, concerned; he went on, checking her pulse repeatedly; she still looked like she was asleep. At this point, we could already sense everything wasn't okay. "Doctor! What's the matter," I asked, franticall

"How do you feel now?" I heard her mother ask her. "Better, mother." She said weakly, looking around as if still feeling like they were still being watched or followed."I'll be on my way now, Jay. Please get well soon." I said, getting up to leave. I knew I had overstayed and my job might be paying for that soon. "That's... That's... Okay, I'm grateful! Thank you so much for staying around!" She said, her voice now shaky."Oh, come off it; stop now, or you're gonna make me tear up, too," I said, getting emotional already. "I have to say what's on my mind. I didn't see it coming at all. How you were there for me. Fought and defended me." She said."That's just how I am, and you're not an enemy of course." I said, "What would you have rather had me do? Stay there and watch you die?" I joked, "Now come over here!" I said as we embraced each other.We held each other tightly for the following seconds, soaking in our emotions and just being grateful that she was alive. "Thank you." She m

"I know it. I know you're hiding it so much." Thane said, looking squarely at me. "Hiding what so much?" I let out, "Can you cut to the chase already?" I'm not finding the suspense funny at all. I'll be grateful if you can get it over it." I said, getting irritated."Why are you so irritated? I have my reasons for not cutting straight into the chase as you are suggesting." He said, "When were you going to ask for help?" He let out."Ask for help from who? You?" I said, trying not to sound degrading, but I was too late, "I'm your boss, for crying out loud; I might know better in some areas. Try to make peace with that." He added, sipping his wine."I'm not arguing with you on that. I'm just asking a question, were you saying I should get help from you?" I said, trying to please him. "I'm sure you heard me correctly on that one." He answered."How would you love to help?" I asked, trying to soften my tone, "I can help in many ways; it all depends on the areas in which you need some help

"You don't have my number saved?" Thanks said from the other side of the call. "Oh, my bad. I have your number saved, but I guess I don't have this particular one saved." I said, trying to cover up. "Tell me the truth, well...not like it matters, I'm calling to..." He begun."To?" I cut in, trying to infer that I would want him to hurry with whatever it was he was saying. "I wanna apologize for what happened the last time we had seen. I promise I didn't mean for things to go that way." He pleaded."Of course you didn't," I cursed under my breath. "It's okay. I already got over it all. So we're good." I said dismissively. "Are sure about that?" He asked, concerned."The better way to go about it is to keep our meetings in an open place," I added. "Ugh... Has it gotten to that?" He said, chuckling lightly. "Yeah, it has. We'll talk later." I added, cutting the call.I wanted Thane. But I knew that many people wanted him too. So if I behaved like them; desperate, needy etc, I was never g
