The Spy Chapter 2 – Part XV

Simone hanged out the telephone.

“Who was?”

The question came from Elisa. A new employee, she had started to work there a few months ago. They were not exactly friends – Simone do not think in her like a friend, at least. But that was the fifth time her phone called that afternoon, and that called the attention of her colleague.

“Cesar.” Simone just answered. He had to say anything else, anyway: everybody in that department knew who was Cesar and about the end of their engagement.

“Are you avoiding him?”

That was too much information. Simone would do many things, less talk about her personal life with someone she did not know well.

“I don’t want to talk about it, ok?”

“Ok... But if you need to talk, you can count with me. I know we don’t know each other very well, we are just colleagues, but… I can help you. I’m divorced, and it was very hard to me, including because we have two children and my ex-husband says he is unemployed and has no money to help me with them. So… if you need, you can talk with me.”

“Thank you.”

She answered that for education. Honestly, Simone had no interest to discuss about his separation. She wanted to forget everything she had suffered. Just forget. But… it was better do not talk about it, she knew it. It was better stay quiet. And keep working, hoping that Cesar stopped to call. (22122012)
