Broken and bruised - Season 1 - Episode 19

Tobi spent the whole day in his office practically doing nothing after making it so clear to Jane that he didn’t want to see anyone and no client should be told he’s in office and Jane really covered up so well for him, the time for closing office came and everyone of the staffs closes their offices for the day leaving only Tobi and Jane in the big building, she really wanted to go home but couldn’t because it’s not advisable for a personal assistant to leave the office before the boss does….she so impatiently sits in the waiting area of the reception and continues to check he phone after every single minute but no sigh that he was coming out soon….she remembers her sick mum at home who needs her attention because time for her medication is fast approaching so she wants to go ask for permission in his office yet she just can’t go because he’s not in his best moods, she sits still and just then her phone begins to ring, she checks the collar’s ID and on seeing it’s her boss, she just takes to her heels instead of receiving, she gets in the office in no time

“You called me”
“Yes but not like this…I called your cellphone”
“I was close by so I just decided to come here”
“Or run over here….sit” this was the last thing she needed right now but who is Jane to question her ever gentle boss, Tobi might have seen her sudden reluctance so he has to say it again

“Sit Jane…..which part of that didn’t you understand” she finally sits and he faces her
“Do you have a boyfriend” the question took her by surprise so she doesn’t know how to even answer him and Tobi had to raise his eyebrows and wave his hands to get her attention

“Hello…. do you or do you not have a boyfriend”
“No I don’t have…”
“OK Jane… I’m going to ask you something and I need you to be very honest with me”
“OK…..”

“Would you forgive someone who has hurt you so much but unintentionally”
“Boss…”
“Answer me”
“Well it depends”
“On what”
“On what exactly the person did”
“What if he or she seeks you out and tries to explain what really happened…would you give him the chance”
“Of course how would I know why or how he did what he did if I can’t hear him out…wait why are you asking me all this”
“You don’t need to know Jane, at least not now but tell me something, am I really a very horrible person”

“Hahaha Sir, if you are asking this because of what you did to those three idiots this morning, then you should not worry, I would have done worse if you had given me the opportunity, their stay here has been long overdue in fact I would have flogged them before firing them so stop torturing yourself” Tobi quietly observes this Charming and funny side of Jane he has never seen before, this twenty year old girl is truly something else and she looked innocently beautiful when she demonstrated how she would deal with those guys, Tobi couldn’t hold back his laughter and he bursts out finally and Jane suddenly realises she’s talking to her boss yet Tobi can’t stop laughing

“That was so funny Jane….. hahaha”
“I’m glad I finally made you laugh”
“Yeah you did” he suddenly tries to look serious and Jane asks if she can go home now and this gets Tobi to check the time
“Oh my God! it’s getting late and I made you over stay here…. I should drop you home and don’t say no” she wanted to decline this offer but knowing him so well, she didn’t say anything and they just leave together…….. after fifteen minutes of driving in the busy street, they arrive into the small but average neighborhood where Jane stays, she invites Tobi in for coffee but he declines saying he would the next time……Jane gets out of the car after saying goodbye and goodnight but turns catching Tobi off guard, she looks him in the eyes
“Tobi you’re a very good boss and a very marvellous person, I’m sure if you ever hurt anyone it would be by mistake or it would be because we are only but humans, you’re so incapable of hurting any one intentionally so don’t let whatever it is that you’re going through or you have done to paralyse you…get out of it and correct your mistake by doing the right thing and seek for forgiveness if necessary…. be cheerful and happy always, if you ever wish to share whatever it is with anyone or need help, I’m here….. I still want to work with the old Tobi so take care and drive home safe” Tobi is so bewildered, she was so on point and he wish he could just tell her what he did but he’s afraid that’s going to change the image she has of him…………
