Chapter Eight (Page Five)

This was still all a little bit too much for Jeff to take in, his mind once again started constructing opinion that contradict the idea that he is the weak, helpless and innocent victim in this situation and start constructing opinion that is in favor of the idea that he is in a relationship where he is a masculine male that is capable of protecting his woman, who is Rita, who is a weak, helpless and innocent victim that needs his protection.

“Maybe…maybe Rita…no it can’t be this. She is my Rita. My relationship with her is just as I think. She is the weak, helpless and innocent victim that requires my protection. I mean god dame its Jeff, what is wrong with you, think about it, I am white and she is Asian, you do the math. She is doing this to get away from her family in Asia. Her husband must be treating her like crap that is why she comes here, he must have been beating her up on a daily basis. Rita’s marriage with her husband must be an arrange marriage, where her family force her into it and her husband must be a sexist pig and her family couldn’t care less, because they believe once after a woman is married, they are the property of their husband, her family can’t be bother to care less, those fucked ass holes. That is why Rita divorced her husband, she wants to get away from him, but he found her, he tracked her down and her family helped her husband to track Rita down, because her family believes that Rita abandoning her husband is immoral, under any circumstances and it brings shame to her family. So now Rita pretends to be in good term with her ex-husband, just to stay on his good side, she is afraid of him, his husband is a violent man that must be it.” Jeff thought, he was still not ready handle the truth and the truth was still all a little bit too much for Jeff to take in, his mind once again started constructing opinion that contradict the idea that he is the weak, helpless and innocent victim in this situation and start constructing opinion that is in favor of the idea that he is in a relationship where he is a masculine male that is capable of protecting his woman, who is Rita, who is a weak, helpless and innocent victim that needs his protection.

Jeff went back to believing that he is in a relationship where he is not a weak, helpless and innocent victim, he went back to believing that he is a relationship where he is a masculine male capable of protecting a woman that is a weak helpless and innocent victim, who needs his protection and that woman is Rita. In some way, believing in a lie was much easier for Jeff then to confront the truth right now. Jeff was still not fully ready to face the truth.

There was even more evidence against Rita in the envelope. Jeff looked at the envelope. “I don’t need to look at it. I know the truth.” Jeff thought to himself, but the truth is that Jeff was afraid to look at it, he was afraid to see more evidence that contradict his believe, he was afraid of the truth that is otherwise to what he believes in.

Tom notices that Jeff stop crying and know that Jeff was most likely to have gone back to be in denial.

“It is time to send in the cavalry.” Tom said to Mike. Then he turned towards Tristan who was sitting at the desk, behind Mike “Tristan, you are on.” Tom said

Tristan is Jeff’s big brother and just like Jeff’s children, Tristan wants Jeff to snap out of it and therefore join this intervention that Tom organized to help Jeff, before Jeff really lost everything to Rita.

Tristan, walked into Jeff’s office.

“I heard a few loud bangs within your office. Are you alright?” Tristan said. Jeff was still sitting on the floor

“Yeah, I’m fine, how long have you been here.” Jeff asked. Tristan doesn’t work for Jeff. Jeff has no idea that Tristan was within his company today, until he showed up within Jeff’s office.

“I came here to see how my baby brother is doing. You know, mum is still worry about you. She is wondering how you are holding up, after Sabrina’s death.” Tristan said.

“I am fine.” Jeff said

“You are fifty-six years old, mum is eighty-one and you still make her worry.” Tristan said

“She worries about me too much.” Jeff said

“You have always been mum’s favor.” Tristan said

“I know.” Jeff said

“What is this?” Tristan said looking at the envelope with the evidence.

“It is nothing.” Jeff said

Tristan looked at the material within the envelope. “This is the Rita you are talking about? She doesn’t look too much like the weak, fragile and delicate flower you say she is.” Tristan said

“She is.” Jeff said he snatched the evidence out of Tristan’s hand. “I know her.” Jeff said

“Have you looked at the materials in this envelope?” Tristan asked

“I don’t need to see it. I know her. She is a delicate and fragile flower that needs my protection.” Jeff said

“Why do you think that is the case?” Tristan asked

“My experience with her.” Jeff said

“Does it include the material in this envelope?” Tristan asked

“No, I know what she is like, already. I am sure she got a justifiable explanation for all these.” Jeff said

“You really have that much faith in, what you believe she is?” Tristan said

“There are people in this world that can be trusted and people in this world that cannot be trusted. Rita is one of those people that are trust worthy. I know my judgment is correct, I know it. I can’t be wrong.” Jeff said

"You know? I was watching news the other day and that Federal Education Minister Chan Wong…” Tristan’s sentence was been cut off.
