ISABEL

Today is my first day working for Logan and I had to meet him. I woke up uneasy. Why did he have to go through that much to get me to work for him when he could simply get any chef in the world? I have asked myself the same question a lot of times but nothing seems to make sense to me. ome.

1 sighed the minute I got out of my car and headed toward the skyscraper building that belonged to Logan.

I didn’t speak to him directly but I spoke to Leah and she was the one who told me the time to go over to speak to him. I didn’t want to have anything to do with him because he was a man of my past.

I hoped that things worked well because I didn’t want to show any sign of hurt in me.

“Good morning,” the receptionist said to me as I stood in front of her. “How can I help you?”

“Logan Smith.” I replied.

“Do you have an appointment?” She asked.

“Yes, I do. I took out my identification card.

“Chef Payne? It’s so nice to see you in person. I ate your food some days back. My sister came back home with your food and

it was delicious,” the receptionist said with excitement laced in her tone and it made me happy.

Today started tense but hearing her compliment me made me feel at ease. “Thank you. I am really glad rest you enjoyed my food.

“The last floor is where you’d find Mr Smith’s office,” she instructed me.

“It was nice meeting you,” she added.

“And you too,” I replied with a smile before walking away.

I took in a deep breath and exhaled as soon as I entered the elevator. I stared at the numbers as the elevator went heart raced faster than normal from nervousness.

This would be the first time we’d be in the same space but the first time we’d be having a long conversation.

up and my

The sound of the elevator signified that I had reached my destination. I came out of the elevator. “You can do it, Isabel. It’s just business and you should see him as your employer and not your ex.” I said to myself before taking my steps.

My phone began to ring in my bag so I stopped to take the phone out and see who that was calling. Just as I did, someone bumped hard into me, making my phone fall.

I leaned down to pick my phone up when I heard an irritating sound.

“Watch where it is that you are going to

I looked up to see who it was that bumped into me and still dared to raise their voice at me. I froze when I saw who it was.

“Jade,” I called in surprise when I saw her.

Jade Armstrong. If there was anyone I had a bad memory with besides Logan, it was her. Jade bullied me, stomped on me. and spat on me. It was like she couldn’t breathe without torturing me.

Chapter 15

Even if I did nothing wrong, she’d find a reason to make me suffer.

“Isabel.” She called. She seemed just as surprised to see me but the surprised facial expression was replaced with a bad frown.

“What are you doing here?” She asked.

I didn’t see a reason to reply to her but I did. “I am here for work

“Work? What do you mean by that?” She doesn’t seem pleased.

Seeing her here after four years only made me angry. It reminded me of the slaps she gave me and what made it worse was the fact Logan was still with her yet he told me he wanted me to be his

His words resurfaced in my head and it only made me angry. How could he? I knew he couldn’t have wanted me back. I knew there was a reason for his actions and he did prove that now.

“I am here for work as I said. I hope you don’t mind, I’ll be leaving now. I said,

I attempted to walk past her but she held me back, holding my ans.

“You cannot come to my husband’s place of work and tell me that you came here for work. If it was someone else, I’d believe that so what are you doing here? Don’t tell me..

“I have work to do. Do not hold me again, I pulled her arms off nine before walking away, not turning to look at her.

“You bit ch!” I felt Jade’s hand on my hair as she pulled me back.

screamed in pain from the impact. “Let me go!”

“Mrs Smith please let her go, a man approached us as he tried to get Jade’s hand off my hair.

I managed to her a hold of her hair too and began to pull it back If she thought I was the Isabel of the past where she got to step on me and go freely then she was wrong.

“How dare you!” She groaned as I pulled her hair harder.

“How dare you too! I retorted.

“Let go of my hair, you st upid s lave!” She spat.

“Let go of my hair too!” I retorted.

“What the hell is going on here!” It was Logan and he looked shocked to see the both of us pulling each other hair.

Everything suddenly made sense as to why I had an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. If I knew I’d end up having to do this then I would have not come.

“Let go of her hair Jade. What is wrong with you?”

“Why should I? She’s also holding my hair and you should tell her to let go too. You are the cause of this disrespect,” Jade replied.

I wouldn’t let go of her hair unless she let go of mine and even if she died, I planned on holding her hair for a little longer to get off some steam.

Let go of each other’s hair!” Logan warned.

Jade let go of my hair and 1 did some seconds after she did.

Chapter 15

“I thought you ended things with her four years ago so what is she doing here? Why is she here Logan? Is she the reason?

I turned to look at Logan frantically. I song understand what’s going on here myself and why he knew he’d have his wife over yet

he made me come at this time.

All I wanted to do was leave and never see him again.

“Answer the da mn question!” Jadd exclaimed.

“Watch it!” Logan chided, the sound of his voice reverberating the room and sending a startling aftermath.

I have never heard him speak that way before. I might have heard people speak about this side of him in the past but I never got to see it for myself.

“Why don’t you leave Jade?”

“What? Are you asking me to leave?”

“Jade, leave. He repeated sternly.

Jade scoffed. ‘I cannot believe this. You have got to be kidding. I am not going to leave here unless she leaves.”

“You know what? This is just perfect. I will take my leave,” I cut him off.

“Good. You better leave,” Jade remarked.

I adjusted my hair and outfit before walking away.

“Wait. Where are you going to?” Logan held my wrist, preventing me from taking any further steps.

“Are you seriously asking me? Your wife is over so focus on her because I have other things to do and I don’t have time for this,” I replied, sounding irritated by his question when he knew exactly what he was doing.

“Stay. You don’t have to go. She’d go,” he said.

I was surprised by his statement. I just couldn’t understand and that was exactly what I expected from the man who broke my heart.

I pulled my hand from his hold. “I came here for business and it had turned out this way so it’s best that I leave for you to attend to your wife,” I replied.

“Exactly and that’s what you should leave only after we are done with the business,” he stated.

“I cannot have my hair pulled out. I don’t have the strength for today and besides I have other things to attend to. We will continue all of this another time,” I said.

“Let her go, Logan. Let her go this instance!” Jade screamed.

“If you want to reach out to me next time, do that through Leah and she’ll give you my reply after she converses it is that you conversed with her with me,” I said before turning to leave.

The moment I walked away, a drop of tears slipped down my cheek. What happened today only reminded me of what happened four years ago.”

It was similar to this situation. My past repeating itself only made it hard for me to move past it. How was I supposed to let go of my past won’t leave me alone?
