MANIPULATIVELY TURNED AS OUR STORY
CHAPTER 22

I was in my cabin, looking at some files, when Ana came carrying my coffee and placed it on the table along with a letter. I looked at her. “Can I have a word, Mr. Anderson?” “OK, take your seat, and she obliged and spoke, “This is my resignation letter.” “What, come again?” What the hell was his bloody problem? “It’s my resignation letter. I am resigning from my job.” “Why suddenly, a few months ago, I used every means to get your resignation?” “Because, Mr. Anderson, I wanted to give my resignation when I wanted to, not when you were asking. Whatever the reason, look at the bright side. You are getting what you want. Finally, I am resigning my job. Please consider my resignation and bonus point; you already got my replacement, so I don’t think you would face any problems in my absence, and I need you to relieve me at the earliest.”.

I should be happy that at least one pest is getting out of my life, but, fucking, I am not feeling the same. That satisfying smile on her face is fucking annoying like hell. I need this one to stay, but why? God knows, is she of any use to me in the present situation? I don’t think she is of any use, but she needs to stay, and I should make sure of it. With her stubborn attitude, it’s pretty hard to make her stay, but I am fucking making sure of it.

I really pity her faith. A few months ago, I wanted to get rid of her. Now that she came at her will, I changed my mind. “Ms. Merlyn, I need to think, so give me some time.” “What, but why? I am not getting what’s there to think. I thought finally you would be happy after seeing my resignation.” “Trust me, if I received the same a few months ago, I would be very happy. Give me some time. I will get back to you. Until then, don’t bother me. Go and continue with your work.”

This bastard—what the hell was his problem? He wanted to get rid of me. I am complying with the same. What the hell happened? He is taking the time to accept my resignation. Don’t tell me he got to know about his psychopath, but why the hell is he giving a second thought to accepting my resignation? Is he up to something once again? What possibly can he do now, like nothing?

Still, she was sitting in the cabin, of course, battling with her pros and cons. If this one was that genius, she would have given her resignation when I wanted; it was too late for everything. Trust me, Ana, sometimes unknowingly you will invite things, and I will make sure to give them to you. “Ms. Merlyn, don’t put too much pressure on your brain; I highly doubt you have any; if you do, I bet it won’t work when it is necessary, so get out and continue with your work.” By cursing me, she exited my cabin.

Why? I am not letting go of this one, which was my biggest question. Everything is falling apart in my life, and Ana will only be an addition to my problem. Still, she needs to stay; whether she is useful or not barely matters. After a few days, she will approach me once again regarding her resignation. By that time, I need to get some hold of her, or else she will fucking create a scene. Maybe she will walk out without relieving too. I should come up with something sooner, which would be better.

It’s been 15 days, and that jerk has not accepted my resignation nor given any reason. I was making my way toward his cabin on permission when I entered. “Mr. Anderson, still, you have not accepted my resignation. I want to be relieved soon. Why are you taking so much time?” “Good morning. Ms. Merlyn was expecting you; please take your seat.”

Recently, there has been so much development in her life. Staying with me, she has learned a few things and become a good investor. No wonder she wanted to be relieved so soon. I should be very proud of myself for teaching her some investment stuff. I have come up with a plan, step by step, that I should enact. If she finds out, I’m sure she will kill me, and trust me, I thought of every possible way, and I couldn’t come up with anything to get rid of Patricia. By weighing the consequences, if you ask me, I can die in the hands of Ana rather than in the hands of Patricia. I can’t let Patricia enter my life, not at any cost. I have to use Ana to get rid of Patricia. I don’t have any choice.

Again, why Ana? Because I can’t find any more naïve idiot than this one; she is fucking perfect, and I need to act fast. “Mr. Anderson are you going to give me a reason”, “Yes Ms. Merlyn, sorry for the delay because of company policy your resignation can’t be accepted at your ‘will’“, “What do you mean, what is this new rules why can’t my resignation cannot be accepted”, “You have signed an agreement when you joined our company another word ‘bond’“, “What bond?, what agreement how the hell I am coming to know about this now”, “Relax will you let me explain if you want to resign than you need to pay compensation of 5 million to the company if you are fired than you are not require to pay any”, “What compensation what the hell are you talking about before few months you were pestering me to resign than you didn’t talk about any bloody compensation”, “Because that time it was necessary for me so I thought of ignoring it now you want to be relived pay the compensation immediately you will be relived”, “You are kidding right is it applicable to everyone, I never heard anyone paying anything”, “It is applicable only to my secretary and not everyone”, “Why I didn’t know about this”, “Is it my duty to explain everything to you before signing something you should go through right”, “At least giving ‘hint’ would be enough who will think I would be entering to any agreement without revealing the same”, “As I said it’s not my duty”, “You know I can file a case on you”, “Please go ahead before think your chances of winning against me”.

Those words only increased her rage: “You fucking bastard, you are up to something; what the hell are you scheming this time? Why the hell do you involve me every fucking time?” “Ms. Merlyn Common, I told you about company rules.” “I didn’t sign any agreement; I am fucking sure of it.” “Check this; is it not your signature?”

She snatched the document from my hand and was shocked to see that, indeed, that was her signature. I had made sure to get one. She started tearing that document, this naïve idiot: “You idiot, that’s a copy, don’t waste your energy”, “Why are you doing this to me, bastard”, “What, I am following company rules and informing you the same”, “You know why can’t you just tell me what you are up to bastard your fucking scheming something again using me as your ‘bait’ I am fucking aware of it”, “Well, Ms. Merlyn if you insist, I do have a catch over here if you comply then you are relived without paying compensation”.

Now she was fuming every time I would be in wow by seeing her change of reactions on her face: “What catch, I knew bastard you are the worst person I ever met again thinking of using me after doing so much to me”, “Ms. Merlyn, don’t you think you invited at that point in time if you had resigned I would not go to extreme level something you invited yourself don’t blame me”, “World won’t revolve around you understood now fucking giving resignation accept it what problem you got now”, “I want to show you world do revolve around me, pay the compensation you would be free forever or else I will make sure you are stuck over here like forever and making sure coming days would be more miserable”.

Now she was calm, thinking and realizing that I was in the upper hand. “What is your problem, jerk? Why the heck are you doing this to me?” “Well, as I said, I do have a catch.” “What is it?” “You know I got engaged and will get married in a few months?” “Why the hell are you telling this to me?” “Well, she is possessive. I can’t continue with my Playboy thing and want to try for the last time, so? Simple, Ms. Merlyn, I want to sleep with you one last time. “Are you fucking out of your mind, and do you think I will fucking agree to this?” “Of course, I am just taking my chances.” “No hell no, I won’t; never am I going to agree to this bullshit?” “Ok, then stick here forever. I guess by this time you know how possessive Patricia is; after getting married, you can guess your situation over here.”

“What is your fucking problem, bastard? That is not possessiveness; she is a fucking psychopath.” “What do you mean?” “Well, your fiancée is a psychopath. If you are still not aware of it, then that’s your loss. I am fucking not taking any chance with you.”

How the hell did she come to know about this? For sure, something has happened with her too. “What did she do to you?” “She is fucking not liking me working here because our past always keeps reminding me to stay on track, always checking on the same one way or another, and once she had asked me to forward your daily routine, which I denied,” “And why the hell am I hearing everything now? Why didn’t you bring it to my attention before?” “Why the hell will I give a dam about your life? Hell with you and your life, you fucking deserve it.”.

She knows very well how to trigger me fucking bloody idiot got so much against me, my blood was boiling I want to kick her out of my sight, was controlling I need her I can’t ruin anything not at this moment, “You know something that mouth of yours try to shut most of the time you will invite things, let me take care of my fiancée it’s my headache I need your answer whether you agree or not”, “No, no, no I am not going to take any chance with you nor with your fiancée”, “Is it your final answer”, “Hell yes, no way not with a manipulator like you after knowing you are up to something”, “Ok I don’t force you but trust me you don’t like coming days I won’t do anything I am so done with doing everything but Patricia won’t let you survive over here and I won’t let you go from here in between you will suffer plus you will see everything by being here like my marriage, my kids, Patricia torture best of luck with that as I said something you invite yourself”, “Why are you scaring me”, “I am not trust me, you have only seen one side of Patricia when she want to get rid of something she may go any level I mean any”.

Yeah, that was so true. Our meeting at a restaurant was a hell of an experience. She was a terrifying lady. I was afraid to face her in the past because I had a thing with this idiot. Right now, I don’t know, but she was making sure of it. Will she let me survive if this is the case? How the hell was I going to bring in the compensation amount?

“Why me, bastard?“; “Why not, baby? If you want an answer, it’s simple: I can’t trust anyone other than you; this is a risk I am willing to take with you.” “Why the hell do you want to try any other girl you had enough of before? Don’t you think it’s time to stop? Besides, Patricia was a gorgeous woman; if we kept her other things aside, why the hell do you want to take a risk after knowing how possessive she is?” “It’s kind of a ‘gig’ I want to try once again before marriage, and I have to try with you; if you worry about Patricia, leave that matter to me; we won’t get caught; I will look after it; right now she is in Germany, busy in setting up a branch, so as I said, give a thought; it’s not like we are doing it for the first time; I want to have you again. As simple as that, once we are done, both of us are going to get rid of each other. Don’t you want to see me forever? Patricia will be out of the country for 2 to 3 months. I need your answer soon. Take your time, not forever, because I don’t have enough time. Let me know your answer by Monday; 2 days is enough for thinking.”

“Please tell me, bastard, why the hell do you always try to drag me with you?” “As I said before, I won’t get any better company than you; you are my partner in everything.” “Fuck you,” “Yeah, baby, looking forward to it.” “Don’t call me that,” and with that, she exited my cabin.

All of a sudden, everything was getting so interesting. I fucking played my card, and I knew she would give in no matter what she wanted to get rid of me at any cost, so she didn’t leave with any choice, always opening her mouth at the wrong timings, triggering me unknowingly, inviting something, and knowingly, I will always give or take my best.
