100 Days With Mr Romero

Judy was seating in Dr. Mathew’s office. They were few meters away from each other, sitting opposite one another.

“You left the other day in a fury. ” began Dr. Matthew putting on his spectacles which was on the table when Judy walked in.

Judy gave him no reply and so he continued speaking.

“You must learn to control your emotions Judy. ” he told her in a calm voice.

“Anger is sometimes inevitable. You don’t want to let it rule you. Do you? ” he asked her placing his hands on the table.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Judy shook her head hinting no.

“Good. ” he replied with a nod then brought out his notebook and pulled a pen from his drawer.

“We were discussing Gideon the other day.” Dr Mathew said after fiddling few pages of the book he brought out.

“Tell me about Gideon. ” he said adjusting his glasses and Judy nodded reluctantly.

Dr. Mathew noticed a sudden change in Judy. Whenever they were talking about Gideon, she will giggle more often and smile at the mention of his name. Talking about Gideon made her feel relaxed and Dr. Mathew always sensed the strong emotional attachment she had towards him. And now when he told her to talk about Gideon, she nodded reluctantly. He knew there was a problem.

“She is back. ” blurted Judy.

Dr. Mathew was monitoring her body language.

“Who is back? ” he asked her.

“Emmalia. ” she said angrily.

“We are talking about Gideon Judy not Emmalia. ” Dr. Mathew pointed out.

“Emma is Gideon’s ex wife. ” she retorted breathing heavily.

“I see. ” Dr. Gideon said then wrote briefly in his book.

“Are you scared? ” Dr. Mathew questioned Judy.

He immediately took off his glasses and look directly into her eyes examining her facial reaction.

“Of.. Of course not. ” Judy stuttered.

“I’m scared of nobody. ” she barked.

“Calm down. ” Dr. Mathew told her pitting back his spectacles.

“She will ruin everything. That bitch will ruin everything. ” professed a bitter Judy.

She immediately brought down her crossed leg, sat up properly and said

“Could you believe Gideon yelled at me because of her? ” she asked Dr. Mathew.

“What triggered that? ” he asked her.

“Because he wouldn’t join forces with me to pull her down. She came back after three years acting all mighty and rich. ” Judy explained with her palms while Dr. Mathew paid keen attention.

“She now owns this brand that is taking over Gideon’s glory in the city. She is feeling so untouchable and could you believe she vowed to take everything away from Gideon?” Judy explained to the Doctor who didn’t say a word.

“All his business partners and investors are on her side. ” she added then continued speaking.

“I know ! Dr. Mathew. ” she said nodding.

“You told me to stay away from Gideon and all that concerns him but I didn’t. ” she confessed.

“Everything would have worked if only that Emma didn’t show up now. ” complained Judy.

“If it didn’t work out in the last three years. Do you think it will work out now? ” Dr Mathew asked her.

Judy didn’t respond. When Dr. Matthew noticed how obsessed Judy was becoming with Gideon, he had advised her to stay away from him or even leave the city but one day, Judy came running to him that Gideon’s wife had fled the city and she will finally get the chance to make Gideon hers.

Whenever she visited Dr. Matthew once in a blue moon, she will rant about how she kept trying to get Gideon but it wasn’t working. Dr. Mathew had advised her to let go but Judy wouldn’t listen.

“How do you see Gideon? ” Dr Mathew asked her finally breaking the brief silence between them.

“I can’t really explain. ” she began with her eyes fixed on the ceiling.

“Gideon is different. I think he is perfect and I am crazy for him. No man had ever made me feel the way Gideon makes me feel. ” professed Judy.

“I will do anything to have him. Absolutely anything. ” she declared and brought her eyes down.

“And how does he see you? ” asked Dr Mathew.

“I need you to be honest Judy. ” he demanded taking off his glasses and placing it on the table.

“He probably sees me as this hard working assistant who is devoted to helping him build his company. ” she said then sniffled.

“How would you relate your relationship with him on a personal level? ” Dr. Mathew asked her again.

“He obviously sees me as a friend. ” she sadly replied.

“But don’t you worry Dr. Mathew I will make him mine. ” she quickly added lifting a finger from her right hand.

“Aren’t you taking too much time to make him yours? ” Dr. Mathew reminded her.

“You employed seduction, human relations, friendship and even changed the way you look to get him. Yet it isn’t working Judy. ” he reminded her again.

Judy immediately fumed. She felt Dr. Mathew was gloating at her.

“What did we say about situations and people we can’t control ” Dr Mathew demanded from her opening his palms wide.

“Let them go. ” she forced the words out of her mouth.

“Don’t You think you should let Gideon go? ” advised Dr. Mathew.

“Never. ” Judy thundered, stood up immediately and sat back.

“I’ll have him. ” she swore.

“And what about his ex_wife? ” Dr. Matthew asked her.

Judy broke into her weird laughter which Dr. Mathew was now accustomed to.

“She hates him. ” said Judy.

“If she hates him then why does her sudden presence in town scare you? ” confronted the doctor.

“Are you scared they could work things out? ‘ he said.

“Never. ” Judy thundered again.

“I made her leave once. I’ll make her disappear again. ” boasted Judy.

“Are you sure? ” asked Dr. Mathew after observing the lack of confidence in her tone.

“Didn’t you tell me she’s now better than she was? ” he asked again

“I don’t care. ” Judy replied.

“I’ll get rid of her no matter what it takes. ” she declared and stormed out of Dr. Mathew’s office.
