He sat down in his office thinking about everything..he could not concentrate on his work because of what was going on in his mind.
* Naomi* the name echoed in his mind which could not let him think about anything else as he shifted on his sear. It hurts to know that the past was really affecting the present which could also bother him to that extent.
  The name kept on clicking in his mind and no matter how much he tried to do something else, it seemed impossible because of that name which made him recollect a lot of things. For the past fifteen years, he had been living in suffering and unhappiness even unknown to his parents. Jack Matt, that was his name and throughout the period of those years, he had not known a woman because of her. he remembered the last word she said before she left,
" I regret ever knowing you" it was then he knew he had fucked up big time...only if he knows where she is now..only if he can ask for forgiveness and they should move on. The past was really hunting the present..even if it was possible, he would do everything to bring her back into his life... Maybe by then, it would be all over.
  He thought as he rubbed his palm all over his face mistakenly and he realized he had been shedding tears all alone. This, he had always been doing alone which made his workers wonder if he was okay whenever they caught him alone.
* Naomi, you are tormenting me! He thought sadly. If there was one person he missed and desired to be with, she was the one.
If only luck would just smile on him and this mystery would end. God, please let me just meet her, just once, I need her forgiveness badly...I miss my first love...I am sorry I hurt her, let me meet her God... He thought and sighed again.
  The past was really hunting him even in his thoughts and dreams to the extent that he sometimes shed tears whenever he woke up...
  Just then, he heard some voices outside. Two people struggling to be precise,
" Ma'am, my boss is very busy right now, I will advise you to wait for about thirty minutes"  he heard his secretary say.
Oops..he probably had a visitor. I am not expecting anyone today, I have no appointment with anyone today, he thought...
" I said my boss is busy, can you not understand? ".
" Leave me alone, I have the right to go in there to see my boyfriend, who are you to stop me? You have no right to stop me, you stupid secretary !"
" Ma'am, this is a company, okay?"
" Are you mad? "
" No .. I'm not. If I am mad, I am sure that my boss will not emoloy me but I am sorry ma'am, please calm down, just wait for about twenty to thirty minutes, I promise you will see him, my boss has ordered that for now, he does not want to see any one and you can not be an exemption " 
  He heard someone slap someone ..then, silence.
" damn it, Betty! She never stays away from trouble ' he muttered
Betty was his girlfriend...Daughter of two business parents...he felt probably he needed someone to forget Naomi, that was why he agreed to date her, so spoilt and rude which made him sometimes regret his decision, his parents do not know he has a girlfriend, he would have been bugged a long time ago. He remembered how he met her back then. he met her in a club on a faithful day when he had to drink to stupor because of Naomi. he succeeded in doing that with the hope that what he did to his first love would be forgotten by him and it would not have to hunt him again but he was wrong, it worsened even after he started dating Betty. 
  She suddenly barged in angrily.
" Oh, God! I have no time for trouble! What do I do now! " He muttered again.
" Sir, your girlfriend.."
" Ma'am Betty! " She said correcting his secretary...
" What? " Nina, his secretary said
" Don't just address me as an ordinary person, I deserve some respect, ma'am Betty?" she said again.
" Sir, your girlfriend slapped me just because I asked her to follow your orders," Nina said defiling all odds completely ignoring her.
" Will you shut up or I will give you another one, I am ma'am Betty, not just a random person" she shouted, screaming at her...
"Betty, you need to calm down, okay? This matter does not involve fighting or insult or slappings or anything, she was only following my instructions, no strings attached, I see no reason why you should slap her when she did nothing wrong, she did not insult you nor... "
" Can you just hear yourself? Are you even supposed to say that in the presence of this stupid thing? Does your stupid orders include me or what ? No, I believe you are talking to the wrong person and you, the next time you tell me shit, consider yourself done in this place of work! I will not only slap you before that, I will hit you !"
  Jack signalled to his secretary to leave.
* now, time to deal with my bitchy girlfriend" he thought again.
" Betty,that is enough," he said sighing.
" It is not enough, she ridiculed me! Did you not see that? You were supposed to rebuke her and support me but all you did was correct me, you are so weak and annoying, now she has left, how does she realize her mistakes huh? What kind of a boyfriend does that? Huh? You are just too weak! Now, you have turned me to a nuisance..."
" That is enough! Is that too much for you to understand? Why can you not just forget it ? She has left, I have stopped talking, what is stopping you from not forgetting it also?" He almost yelled at her.
" I expected you to sack her already"
He furrowed his eyebrows frowning...
" Even after you slapped her? She should be sacked? Like seriously? are you the owner of this company? Have you forgotten this is my dad's company? Are you for real?"
" Yes, Jack, and you should also pass a warning to your staffs that...".
" That what?..." He said making funny faces and continued,
" If you sack every worker under you just because you make rash decisions, I doubt if there would be just a person to work for you, imagine the rubbish you are uttering! Anyway, why are you here ?"
" Can I not come to see my boyfriend anymore? Or is it a crime? " She said making herself comfortable on one of the available seats.
" Betty, this is not your father's house that you are free to come in and out everytime, do you understand? This is my father's company, I am here in his stead, I work here, do you not have any other things you do to keep you busy than walking up and down?".
" What are you trying to say? " She said frowning as she had a look of someone whose ego had been crushed.
