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.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“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.
“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.
