Bye, My Irresistible Love

Jane’s POV: 

On the way back, George was silent for much of the drive.I found that he spoke less than before.

He only talked about business; and that too very briefly.I had been back for quite a while now, but we hadn’t even sat for dinner together.

Was it perhaps because he was in love? "Are you serious about Lucy?" I had been dying to ask him.

Curiosity finally got the better of me and I finally asked him just before we could reach the company.I wondered if he kept a distance from other women because of Lucy.But I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why George liked a woman like Lucy.What did he see in her?

 "No, I have nothing to do with Lucy.I’d rather talk about you and Helen.What happened between the two of you?" George asked while paying careful attention to the road.

"You seem to care a lot about Helen.Is it because she is Lucy’s best friend?" This was the second time that I heard Helen’s name from George’s lips.

Everyone in the company thought that George and Lucy were a hot item and George had never denied it.

At first, I took these rumors with a pinch of salt.

But when Lucy barged into his office, George, who had always been scrupulous about separating his professional life from private life, indulged her.He condoned her behavior.

That was why I believed that the rumor about him and Lucy was not baseless.

"Jane, I know that the matter between you and Helen is your private affair.I apologize for asking about it.But if there is any conflict or misunderstanding between you two, share it with me.I would be more than happy to help you resolve it." George brought the car to a halt and looked at me seriously.

His tone was dead serious, as if he attached great importance to this matter.This was not the George I knew, I chose to be silent.

Then I sighed and said, "George, this is so unlike you.I’ve never known you to care about anything else but work.What has come over you?"
