CHAPTER TWENTY TWO
“I would always keep in contact with you. Let us just see it as when I am going to work for someone, it does not mean I would not come back. One day I will be back here for good, and when I go there, I would love it for you to visit me frequently.”
“Can you do that for me?” I assured Nicole sincerely that I would love it if she visited me often so I would not die of boredom.
“Sure, I would do that whenever I was chanced. I would even go to the extent of creating time for you. I will miss you so badly, I am already feeling like I have lost you already,” Nicole said calmly as the tears finally rolled down her cheeks.
It made me so emotional that I hugged Nicole and we cried once again on each other’s shoulders.
“I will miss you too, Nicole, so please stop crying. You know I hate to see you like this, it hurts me when I see you like this,” I told Nicole as we kept on crying out our hearts so emotionally in each other’s arms.
“Okay, I will stop crying when you stop crying,” Nicole said as she moved out of my arms and looked at me as she held back her tears.
“I am serious, you have to stop crying and be emotionally strong to hold in all the ill-treatment you will get from your boss,” Nicole added, and immediately I started laughing and crying at the same time.
“Okay, I will not cry again, I promise you,” I said as I used the napkin I was holding to wipe the tears from my eyes.
“You see that? I just want you to keep on laughing like that,” Nicole said as I laughed.
Then my phone beeped, and I swiped the screen upward and found out that it was a message.
An address was sent to me, and I gasped immediately.
“I will, Nicole, please can you tell me what the time says on your phone?” I asked immediately after I saw the address message.
“It’s 4:30 p. m., is there any problem or do you have plans?” Nicole asked when she saw me gasp, and her facial expression changed.
“Oh my God, actually I do not have plans, it is just that I need to be at Mr. Gavriel’s apartment by 7 p. m., and it’s already 4. 30 p. m., I have not even started packing up my things,” I complained.
I did not want to go there late, and I hoped and prayed to God to help me live a peaceful and quiet life with my boss, Mr. Gavriel.
“Tina, there is absolutely nothing to worry about because since I am here with you, I would help you out and, of course, I would also drop you off at the location you are heading to,” Nicole said briefly as she patted my shoulder.
Those words meant a whole lot to me, and I thanked God for giving me someone like her. I hope in our next life that we will still be there when we needed each other the most.
“What can I do within you?”
“I appreciate all these kind gestures you have shown toward me,” I said.
“Come on, what are friends for?”
“Let us start packing so you would not be late, and of course, I do not want that bastard to punish you for being late,” Nicole argued as she dragged me to my room I childishly smiled at her.
When we got to my room, Nicole opened my wardrobe and brought out a big box. She started folding my clothes neatly as she placed them in the box.
On the other hand, I was packing my shoes, handbags, and some important books I needed.
Of course, I could not afford to forget my diary, so I glanced around the room and found it lying on the bed, then picked it up and put it inside the box while Nicole was arranging my clothes. Then I suddenly had the urge to ask Nicole what happened to her last night.
“Nicole,” I called, and immediately she turned around to face me.
“Yes, do you need something?” Nicole asked, and I suddenly felt like laughing at her caretaker attitude, but I just held it in because she was looking out for me.
“No, I do not need anything, I just wanted to ask you a question, so do you mind if I do so?” I asked Nicole as she was still arranging all my things into that one box.
Wow, she is a genius.
How would someone pack a lot of properties into one box? That is so unusual because I could not even do that.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“Why are you asking me for permission? Just go ahead and ask me whatever you want to ask me, and I will answer you if I know something about it,” Nicole said so seriously as she looked at me in disbelief.
I believe she was disappointed that I sought her permission before asking her a question.
“We have been friends for a long time now, so why would I be asking for such a thing? What a fool I am,” I thought to myself when I realized my mistake, and I was so sorry about it.
“I am so sorry for asking that question. I did not mean to get you upset.” I apologized as I made a baby face so she would immediately forgive me.
“Stop making that face, you know that I would forgive you if you made that face right?” Nicole asked.
“Please, I am sorry, forgive me,” I continued pleading as I maintained my facial expression.
“Okay, you win, I have forgiven you, but next time do not try asking me that again because I would not forgive you the next time you do that,” Nicole said, and I jumped up as a result of my happiness and hugged her, and of course, she hugged me back.
With that, I knew she had forgiven me. “Thank you so much, I promise I would not do that again,” I said to her, smiling as we left each other’s arms.
