Married Single - Season 1 - Episode 35

Seq 11-15

The Judge told Chris to give me half of the Assets we had in the house. But I told him I didn’t want anything. All I needed was being free from him and so my wish was granted.
We took a bus to my house and that day I felt a sense of relief and peace. It was like I had been carrying a large thing on my shoulders and it was suddenly removed I felt free.
A week later, I went back for work just to find a dismissal later, which stated that my services where no longer required.
” all this is Chris’ doing” I cried. It was obvious he wanted to leave me stranded without a job. Owing to the fact that he found the job for me, I concluded he simply asked my employer to fire me.

Linda advised me to sue the company for unfair dismissal, but I declined. I wasn’t going back to some court sessions again.
” let them just give me what I worked for and I will find another Job my friend” I told Linda.
” you told me Lucas deals with a lot of companies and has one of his own. Why can’t you ask him to help you find another job as a secretary at some company” Linda reminded me.

I was not willing to do so but a after some weeks of looking and nothing came up I felt I had to swallow my ego and asked for the much needed help.

So I called Lucas who answered immediately. I asked to see him and like I had expected he called me to his house.
” can we meet at some central place say a restraunt ” I suggested but he refused.
” am unwell Stella I can’t drive out so if there’s anything you have to come home” he responded firmly.

So now I had no option but to find a taxi to take me. Since I bashed the car into another vehicle I had not started driving it yet. The insurance compensation was not out and I had used up all the money I had to buy things for my new house.

I found Lucas sitting in the living room were we sat the first time I went to see him with a glass of lemonade which I figured he loved so much on the small table besides him.
” you are welcome ” he smiled after we were done greeting each other. I realised he wasn’t even sick.
” thank you. Am sorry I have bothered you but I need to ask you for a favour” i talked back feeling uncomfortable.
” go on” he nodded
” Lucas I need a Job. I don’t know if you can help me hook up with some companies I need a Job as a secretary” I finally told him.

He frowned looking at me..” tell me what happened to You?” He asked instead coming and sitting opposite me.
” tell me that whole story you know am good at listening. Besides this is only 16 hours. We have lots of time on our hands to talk” he shrugged.

I couldn’t stay quite anymore. I went on explaining the details of my marriage and the divorce. How Chris got me fired and that I was without a Job for over 2 months .
” so after all this time, you decided to call me just now when things got worse” I heard Lucas sighing sadly.
” oh Stella, you didn’t have to wait going through so much to give me a call. You have no idea how much I waited for you to come.” He told me.

I couldn’t get myself to look straight at him his calmness and softness of voice making me so ucomfortable.
” Come here” he raised his voice a bit indicating for me to sit closer to him.
I looked at him and he smiled.
” are you scared of me Now?” He asked with a smile.
” no am not but…..” I couldn’t finish my sentence……..
