Chapter 11 Maybe its just time to say goodbye
Three months. Three long months of his torture I put up with. He had eased up a little, I was now allowed to wear the singlet that made me look like a showtime hooker and he had let me go to the bathroom when I needed, but other than that he was pretty much turning into an asshole and yet I still loved him. I knew the kind of guy he could be and who knew, maybe it was something I had done wrong without knowing. I didn't hold much hope of that because he would of told me by now. As soon as I pulled up the document I kept looking at it wondering if this was the right move. Pulling it closer I looked at it closely, maybe this was the right time to say goodbye to a man who so clearly hated me. I didn't want to talk to Randy about this but I saw no way round it.
"May I talk to you?" I asked quietly. I didn't want to talk to him but I had too so I would just have to grin and bare it.
"Yes, what it is?" He looked at me as though I was annoying him.
I went in and sat down, he raised an eyebrow didn't say anything. I handed him the bit of paper.
"This is a contract from Rhodes Inc." I started
"And you're showing it to me why?"
"He's offered me a contract with his company, apparently I would be a good asset to his team"
He thrust it at me "Well sign it then Raven, just stop annoying me"
"I don't want to sign it if I don't have too"
"Whats that meant to mean?" He narrowed his eyes at me as though I was implying something really bad.
"It means that if you still want me as your PA then I won't sign it, I have a week to decide"
He didn't say he did but then again he didn't say he didn't either. "Do what you want Raven" He shrugged before going back to his computer, telling me it was time to leave.
I left his office and went back to my desk, I didn't sign the contract right away, apart of me hoped that before the week was out Randy would say something, something along the lines of I'm sorry I was a jerk and of course I want you to stay. I put the contract back in my desk drawer and continued on with work.
Randy leaned back in his chair, worried and sad that the best woman he had ever met was pretty soon going to be working for that bastard Cody. Randy didn't want her to leave but then again he didn't want to tell her the truth. All he knew that whenever he got close to telling her he saw the freak out in her eyes. She wasn't interested in him and that just broke his heart more. So instead of risking rejection he merely put up his asshole defence and now he was going to lose her. Maybe this was the right time to say goodbye, maybe it was finally time for him to move on. Randy lent forward and rested his head against the cold wood, he would never be over her but with any luck she would hate him for his mis-treatment and then she would leave and he would be free of her forever. Why must everything be so damn hard?
