The Proud Boss Lady. novel Chapter 39

“ Noah, what's up with the bags?" Soraya asked entering the house. It had been three days he last saw or heard from him and she was declining her calls as well.

“ I'm leaving, I feel I'm not needed here anymore. I can't keep living in a home that's not mine and feeling like I am living off of you, so I decided to go to my apartment," he told.

“ And you didn't think to inform me beforehand?" she rudely asked.

“ With all due respect, Soraya I have been trying to reach you. It's been three good days and you've refused to take my calls. I know you're no longer interested in what we had, but it's just right to let me know." he replied as she stood looking at him without saying a word.

“ It was fun while it lasted. Have fun with him," he said walking towards the door with his bags.

“And oh, show him some respect, he deserves it. Enough of being rude to people." he turned towards the door and opened it heading out.

“ I could--

“ I could drop you at home," she said catching up with him

“Umm, no thanks I called a cab. Be safe though." Noah told as the cab driver picked his bags into the car. Noah sat at the back seat of the car watching his surroundings for the last time as the driver drove off.

I had some good memories here though.

“ Hey Freya, bye Freya," Zed said hurriedly walking away thinking she was going to talk about them moving to the next step.

“ Wow, what a great way to greet a friend." sarcasm dripped from her tone.

“ It's not gonna work out Freya." he found himself saying.

“ I didn't come to beg for that. I came to have a business brunch with a potential investor," she told him.

“ I hope Soraya makes you happy this time around. It was nice seeing you, buddy." she tapped him on his shoulder and headed into the restaurant.

As much as I'm hurt

I thought it would be worse than this

But I'm glad he told me he's moved on

It's time I did same.

“ Thank God. I was panicking because I thought you were caught up in traffic." Carla sighed in relief.

“ Oh no, I was just talking to Zed," she told

“ I saw him earlier, it seemed he was rushing off to somewhere or coming back from somewhere and he didn't want no one to see him," Carla added.

" Yeah, he was with Soraya." she smiled tight-lipped.

“ I'm so ---

“ Don't, he already made his choice so it's fine." she stopped her as the investor walked towards their table.

He sat down taking off his shades and smiling. To Freya's surprise, it was....

“ Noah?!" she exclaimed shocked.

“ In flesh and blood," he answered.

“ You guys know each other already?" Carla spoke out.

“ Yeah, we do but I never knew he---

“ Was a fashionista and a rich man aie?" he smirked.

“ You know, I have always found trouble in finding love and friendship. People only came close to me because of my money, and nothing less. So when I saw Soraya from a distance, I thought she was the one. So I decided to disguise myself as an ordinary working-class man to approach her. She never judged me and we had mad fun, but when we got back to Jersey City, NJ everything changed. She went back to being rude and bossy, then she stopped sleeping with me in the same room. She started staying out late and not coming back home for some days, And on those occasions, I always seemed to bump into you, Freya. And I was glad I was. I looked forward to seeing you, I just liked the way you related to me, so kind. And now, here we are." he cut short his story.
