Revenge For The Restaurant Kissing

Your Dad is not in support

"Your Dad seems not to be in support of our relationship, Pat." said Laila.

"Relationship?" Don't you remember what we are into? You said it as if it's a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship that Dad has to monitor or approve."

"It is still the same since you have not paid on my head. It is still boyfriend and girlfriend."

"So, that is an issue now? Paying? Was it the money that we couldn't afford? You presented your career first." isn't it ?" asked Dr Pat." Then, we concluded that on your elevation as a manager, we wed. Laila, am I lying?"

"But your Dad was not aware of that. He has a different view of us." Laila said," And I don't know how I am going to be a good daughter-in-law. First impression they say matters. Pat, think about it."

"Laila! My Dad is not against us! I have secured employment as a director at Atlas. And tomorrow, we are off to Nebraska. Anything you want, business? Or paid work? It is just a matter of telling the CEO, hey, I want a good office for my wife."

Laila can never just relinquish her fear and follow him to Nebraska but she has no reason yet not to follow him to Nebraska.

Her defense of not being indebted to him has been punctured and struck out by the evidence her fiance presented.

Unless she has to say, Pat. I am no more interested and stand on her word come rain come shine.

If she is sure of David, that will be the only way to come out of the web of relationships for now, to give her head a rest, or else she will crash.

Telling Dr. Pat it is over, whatever relationship, boyfriend-girlfriend, or fiance & fiancee is bunkum.

Yeah, because David, forever and ever will remain the bona fide CEO of Atlas Corp.

And you know what it means? On her wedding day with David, if her second chance works out unless Dr. Pat was extremely sick to the point that he was unable to walk, he must be there, at the wedding.

Two of them, for now, don't know who owns Atlas and David does not know who the new employer that came with the needed expertise for Atlas is.

If he knows, or any day he finds out, the consequences will have a multiplier effect, and Selena might be the beneficiary.

"Pat!"

"Laila!"

"Am not interested in going with you."

"Why?"

"Nothing. I am ending the relationship or whatever!"

"Whatever? Laila, you can't be joking with our marriage!"

"Pat. I have told you...leave my hand...leave my hand, Pat!" she tried to free herself.

"Laila, don't upset me!" Dr Pat was peeved.

"Beat me nau. That's how you will beat me if we marry."

"Am not beating you, darling." pleaded Dr. Pat, "Please, let's not joke with our love and marriage. It is too late to have this kind of misunderstanding." he said.

"Pat. I am not going to Nebraska. Period! " she said.

"Okay. Sit down, sit down. You want me to be coming home, on weekends?"

She felt this was another encumbrance. Having put up the courage to say no to the relationship, be it of marriage or whatever, she has to insist on her decision if it was a decision.

Agreeing on this option of Dr. Pat coming home on weekends, she will go back to her vomit like a pig.

For example, within the period Dr. Pat would be coming home, she may take in. That is one. Two, if Dr. Pat comes on weekends, for the 52 weekends of a year, she will be under his control and time waits for no one.

So, she must put her legs down and say no. Capital NO.

She should go back to David.

If David's family did not find her real identity, fine.

First flight, she was in Nebraska. "God. Punish Pat. A salary earner. Can you compare him with David?

Now, having chosen David, which was no hard decision, because choosing between salary earner and a CEO, was no stress, would her identity forever remain a secret to David's relations?

This is where her life's odysseys may start
