Toxic Relationships

Fed Up

...Happy Reading ...

Clara and Dean just stood up restlessly. A few minutes ago Tiffany told them to go to Mr. Arthur's room. But here they have stood for more than fifteen minutes and Mr. Arthur looks still busy with his call.

Clara and Dean can only cast a glance. Did they make a mistake? If that's what's on both minds right now. If not very important, Mr. Arthur only spoke by phone or at least through his assistant. But now they have to really face him.

“Alright Mr. Director, I will contact you after everything is done.”

“....”

“Happy day.”

Mr Director? Clara can only guess who contacted Mr. Arthur. Only a handful of people were called Mr. Director by his superiors. One of them is Jack and..

“You're here apparently.”

Dean and Clara just laughed awkwardly. Didn't Lord Arthur see them from fifteen minutes ago? It was as if the man had just learned of their arrival.

“I just want to give you info. For Mr. Dean, I'll move you to Marketing Management. And thank you very much to Miss Villegas for teaching Mr. Dean a few things

Dean and Clara just looked at Mr. Arthur with quite a surprised look. Did they really make a mistake until they were separated like this?

“Sorry Mr. Arthur, but you told me to teach Mr. Dean in the next three months. Even this is not yet-“

“Marketing Division needs new manpower, and I think Mr. Dean fits in the marketing division.”

“What is this because of Jack?”

Mr. Arthur now seemed surprised at Clara's spontaneous remarks. Clara clenched her hands tightly. Why is Jack always organizing his every job? Can't he work here quietly?

“Of course not, this has nothing to do with Mr. Jack at all. This is my policy, I hope you understand Miss Villegas.”

Clara just laughed. Always, always and always Jack was managing his life. A few weeks ago he was so happy that Mr. Arthur gave him the confidence to teach Dean. But again and again Jack's moves are much bigger than his efforts. This time he will not remain silent.

...****************...

Tiffany now runs to the elevator chasing Clara. I don't know what Mr. Arthur talked to Clara, but after he came out of Mr. Arthur's room it was as if Clara had become very angry. The girl didn't even talk to him at all until now at the office. And that made him very worried as well as curious. Clara was never this angry with Mr. Arthur even though the old man insulted her work. And Tiffany knew something was wrong with her best friend.

“Chal, what's up? Did something happen?”

Tiffany now let out a voice as she waited for the elevator to descend to the first floor. Clara simply looked at Tiffany's face flat and sighed deeply.

“Sorry Tiff, I'm so charging you all this.”

Clara now spoke in a guilty tone. From lunchtime until now he completely ignored Tiffany. Every word that Tiffany said was not at all bubris. It's all because Jack, Jack always seems to manage his life. And he's so fed up now.

“It’s okay Girl. What was? Do you want to tell me?’

Tiffany now asked softly, for the umpteenth time Clara just took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He was worried about telling Tiffany. Because he knew very well that Tiffany must have defended Jack under the pretext

‘You should understand Jack Chal's feelings better. Isn't it good that Jack is jealous of Dean? Signs that man loves you so much.’

And he doesn't need such a word.

“No, there's nothing Tiff, I'm just being tired.” Clara now only smiled faintly.

Ting!

Brak!

Jack flinched when the car door next to him slammed someone. Jack looked at Clara who was also looking at him with a sharp look.

“Did you tell Mr Arthur to relinquish my responsibility to Dean?”

Hearing Clara's sharp words, Jack just laughed. So this is all because of that guy named Dean? He was quite surprised Clara could be so angry at him for trivial matters.

“You are now very angry with me because of that man?” Clara tried to strengthen her defenses by squeezing her briefcase hard.

“Because of that guy? It's all because of my job. After a long time, Mr. Arthur has given me confidence again, but now you're screwing it up!” Clara now began to raise her voice, Jack began to clench his hands tightly.

“I? Confound it? Did you really lose that man named Dean so much that you could yell at me like this?!”

Jack raised his voice. Clara looked at Jack with a sharp look, while her chest was up and down. The girl was so angry, so angry.

“This is not all because of that man! It's all because of my job. Can't you just trust me this time, Jack?”

Clara began to lower her voice. He is so fed up with Jack's possessiveness, as if he really should not meet any man other than himself. And now he has reached the limit of his patience.

“Oh yes, trust you? After trusting you and you cheated behind my back?!” Clara looked at Jack in disbelief. The man had truly been entangled too deeply with their past.

“You are still discussing the incident three years ago?”

Clara asked in disbelief. He did not know if all that could not be forgotten Jack until now. Jack now gripped Clara's shoulders firmly and looked at the girl with a pushy look.

“I gave you trust and you betrayed him. I will never give you confidence a second time.” Jack now pressed every sentence.

“Can we end this? I'm sick of your attitude."

Said Clara with a pushy look. Jack now grips Clara's shirt firmly. This time Jack was really emotional. Every word Clara asks him to end their relationship, always makes his emotions uncontrollable.

“I'm sick of you, don't ever disturb my life again!”

Clara screams right in front of Jack. Jack's left hand began to lift, Clara now began to close her eyes, as if the girl was ready to receive a slap from Jack. Clara was prepared for all the consequences she would receive.

Jack now looked at Clara with a pus, his gaze turning on Clara's swollen left cheek, as if Jack's emotions a moment ago melted away. Jack's mind recalled a few days ago when Leo hit Clara, it made his chest tight.

Jack now loosened his grip on Clara's shirt and stared ahead. Clara opened her eyes, she could see Jack looking so frustrated. Jack hit the wheel hard, making Clara speechless. Jack didn't even hit himself, the man didn't hurt him at all. Jack was holding it all.

“Do you really want to get away from me Chal?”

Jack looked at her with a cold look. Clara was silent, she did not know what she wanted to answer. But isn't this what he's been waiting for all this time?

“Y.ya.”

“As long as I'm still in front of you, you'll never get away from me...

Jack now paused on his words. Jack's cold gaze was again replaced with a sharp gaze that pierced Clara's eyes. Clara swallowed her saliva, as if the fear she had been enduring had appeared simultaneously.

....You're mine Clara. If I can't have you, don't expect anyone else to.”
