Later after close of work Vanessa went to Saric’s apartment. She didn’t have any difficulty locating the place. His apartment was the fourth on row. She pressed on the door bell. “Who is at the door, I will be with you shortly.” Saric opens the door. “What are you doing here?” Saric asked angrily. “Is that how to welcome your guest?” Vanessa tease. “Won’t you at least invite me in?” Saric moves aside and Vanessa goes in. he leads her into the hall. She was impressed with the interior designs and portraits on the walls. He noticed it and smiled to himself. He offers her a sit and asked her what she would like to drink. She said just a bottle of water will do. He disappears through a door and comes back with a bottle of water and a glass on a tray. He serves her and places it on the table beside the sofa. Vanessa lifts it up and drinks half the glass and places it back down. “What do you want here?” Saric repeated his earlier question. “You have nice building over here, I mean the interior design and portrait is very unique. Did you do it yourself?” Vanessa admired the room. “I don’t think you came here to admire my house. What do you want from me?” Saric demanded. “Why are you behaving very cold towards me? After our meeting you sent in your resignation. Why did you do that? You know that you are the best architect we have. Please why are you mixing business with personal relationship.” Vanessa inquired. Saric laughs and stands up. He moves around and returns to his sit. “Vanessa you cried because you didn’t want me near you. Why will I want to see you cry again? The best thing for me to do was to resign because I shouldn’t be the cause of your sorrow.” He pauses and looks at Vanessa, he saw Vanessa looking at him and he continues. “When I found out you were my Vanessa, I was happy, I wanted the whole world to know our lives have once again crossed paths. I wanted a friend who will listen to me any time I wanted an ear. A friend who will always say don’t worry God doesn’t give us more than we can handle.” He shifts in his sit. “That kiss was just on an impulse. I shouldn’t have kissed you. I wanted to apologize but you decided to shut me out.” Saric explains. Silence befell the place for a while before Vanessa spoke up. “Saric I am sorry for everything I did; I didn’t mean to behave that way. I was confused and I didn’t wantyou to misunderstand anything. That kiss meant nothing to me and beside I already have a boyfriend. And it wouldn’t be fair if I betrayed him. Saric laughs again. “Don’t worry Vanessa I will never come between you and that dump bimble.” Saric spat out coldly. “Excuse me who are you calling a dump bimble?” asked Vanessa furiously. “Sorry, there is no need to get angry over this. Tomorrow I will resumed work but please tell your boyfriend to lay off my back, because this time I will not hesitate to retaliate.” Saric warns. Vanessa couldn’t believe, she has always been hearing of a dump bimble in the office but it never crossed her mind it was her boyfriend they were referring to. “Hello, Vanessa you may leave now. I will be expecting someone and I don’t want her to meet you her.” Saric Informs. Vanessa just stood up and was about to leave when someone knocked on the door. The person just entered without waiting to be ushered in. “Saric, where are you?” the person yells Vanessa looks at his face questionable.“Honey, I am in the hall,” Saric replied. Vanessa kept staring at him but he ignores her. The person comes into the hall. She is surprised when she saw Vanessa, “I didn’t know you have a visitor?” she simply asked. “She was just leaving” Saric assures. Vanessa smiled at her and then left. When Vanessa left, Saric and Dora (the one at the door) began to laugh. “Who is she?” she asked after composing herself. “It was my boss from work, she came to ask me to return to work,” he explained. “That nice,” they both left for the kitchen to put the foodstuff she had brought for him
