“Vanessa what you are sayingis that you get jealous when the girl you met at Saric house comes to visit him with food in the office?” Tracy one of Vanessa’s friends asked her while they were eating in a restaurant during lunch break. “I can’t believe this Vanessa, you told the guy to stay away from you and yet you don’t want him near any girl,” Derby who was beside herself with anger asked. “Come on Derby why you are getting angry, the girl needs our help not our scolding,” Tracy pacifies her friend. While they were still talking, Saric walked in with Miss. Naa a lady who has been transferred to work with them. When Miss. Naa spotted them, she went over to Vanessa’s. “Hey Vanessa, I didn’t know you guys were here?” she asked genuinely surprised. “This place is one of our favourite restaurants.” Vanessa smiles “I hope you don’t mind us joining you?” she asked innocently. “No not at all,” Tracy answered. Saric and Miss. Naa joined them; the whole table was very quiet until Miss. Naa spoke, “So tell me Saric how is it that a hunk like you can be single?” Miss. Naa smiled. “Who said I was single?” He replied with a question. “Well I have never seen you with any lady before?” she insisted on her point. “Just because you don’t see me with any lady doesn’t mean I am single, I live alone in my apartment but my girlfriend comes from time to time,” he informs her. “Then she is very lucky to have someone like, isn’t she?” Saric just smiled. Vanessa was feeling uncomfortable. She couldn’t control herself anymore, watching Saric and Miss. Naa talk, laugh and the way they looked at each other like old friends. She could see how Miss. Naa is into Saric, “Why did Tracy say yes and let them sit with us? He is trying to make me jealous and nobody sees it.” Vanessa thought. After lunch Miss. Naa and Saric took leave of them. Tracy and Derby could see how jealous their friend was. “Vanessa why don’t you concentrate on your relationship with Stephen and get married like you agreed on.” Tracy suggested. “I know all that but you know everything has changed. Whenever I see Stephen I begin comparing him to Saric. Sometimes I wished he was Saric. He is always angry when he sees the workers talking; he is always rude to the workers and do you know something guys, they call him dump bimble at the office.” The girls stared at Vanessa, they couldn’t believe it. “Yes that’s the truth; ever since Saric returned to work he hasn’t even talked to me. When he even wants me to approve his drawings, he sends it through my secretary. Anytime I go to his office he walks out with an excuse.” Her friends looked at her helplessly; they didn’t know what to say. Vanessa just stood up and left, her friends followed her. It was better they kept quiet they thought.
