Broken Trust – Episode 7

BROKEN TRUST EPISODE 7
© Jones Kwesi Tagbor

I went back home alone. At home, I was just chatting with some few friends on whatsApp when Mr Adjei called. He asked of my health and how work went in his absence. I told him everything was ok. He tried engaging me in conversation but this time around, it was friendlier than it was earlier. He was telling me about how the conference was going and his role to play the following day. He never spoke about his proposal until I decided to thank him for the gift. “Dear you are welcome, but I don’t expect you to be thanking me for everything. What are friends for? I will do more than that if everything should go on well.” He said. “Everything like what Mr Adjei?” I asked. He laughed and said I shouldn’t mind. After the call with Mr Adjei, I decided to try Jude’s number again. It went through this time around. “Jude where were you and why did you switched off your phone? I said as soon as he picked the call. “Sweetheart sorry it was my phone that went off and not that I switched it off end of question one.

Now to where I was; Ophelia was sick and I have to take her home. So I went to her place. “He replied.” You did what? You went to Ophelia’s place without letting me know? “I asked. Again he said “it’s not what you are thinking dear. I only decided to help a friend in need and that’s all. I didn’t even spend more than ten minutes with her in the house. Sorry I didn’t inform you before leaving and sorry my phone went off. “He said sounding very remorseful. “So where are you now?” I asked. He said he was home. He said he tried calling my line immediately he plugged his phone to the charger but my line was busy. I told him I was chatting with a colleague of mine. Meaning he called when I was on call with Mr Adjei. “I knew it that Ophelia was just trying her best possible to snatch Jude away from me completely but that will be after my dry bones. Is Jude telling me the truth that he didn’t stay at Ophelia’s place for long? Anyway I trust him on that. He is very good when it comes to self-control and I don’t think Ophelia can seduce him more than I do. Even in his own room he was able controlled himself.

I must stop Ophelia with immediate effect before things go out of hand.” I was thinking aloud. Weeks passed and the relationship between Jude and Ophelia was growing, as that of manager and myself was getting more secretive. The gifts from Mr Adjei was just flowing and I also kept taking them. Things men do for love. They can even sell their families property just to make a lady happy. Look we ladies don’t care about that oo. If you bring it, we go chop. A friend of mine will say “chopment”. Anytime it comes, I made sure Jude gets his share as he kept praying for more. Due to Mr Adjei’s position as the manager, he use to travel a lot for meetings. There was this meeting that was supposed to take place at Akosombo which was not far from Kpong where we were. Mr Adjei said he wanted me to go with him. It supposed to be on a Saturday but I told him I will think of it. “Am sure this man want to take advantage of me.” I said to myself. I informed Jude about it and he seemed not to be worried about it. He was just ok with me going. All he said was I should take care of myself. “Does it mean this guy does not know the intentions of Mr Adjei?” still thinking aloud. I decided not to go so I called Mr Adjei and told him that I don’t feel like going so he should go and come. He tried convincing me but I stood to my feet.

The fact remain that I haven’t accepted his proposal so he can’t force me into doing anything. I didn’t inform Jude that I have declined the offer so to him, I won’t be around that Saturday. The Saturday came and I wanted to surprise Jude at his place. I just wanted us to spoil ourselves that day at his place. Around midday, I set off to Jude’s place. In fact I tried to look very sexy. My walking to the place was more than a cut walk. Not knowing, Jude has arranged with Ophelia for her to come to his place that day. Actually it was Ophelia who masterminded the move. So she was already at Jude’s place before I got there. It’s a compound house with a main gate at the entrance. So when I got to the gate, I call his phone. “Hello dear, how is Akosombo? I guess you are having a good time.” He asked as soon as he picked the call. “Sorry Jude, I didn’t go again but guess what? I’m standing right In front of your main gate. Come and open me.” I said with a very nice and soft voice. “You are what? In front of my door? Eeeerrmm OK. I…. I … I will meet you soon. I’m inside the washroom.” “J, is everything alright? I asked in confusion. “Oh yeah, yeah, there’s no… Nothing wrong.” he answered with a shaky voice. People who live in glass house don’t throw stones. How will he manage this mess? Guys are equally smart. Don’t under estimate them. What happened next?
