All he took with him was his phone and a handkerchief.
The rest of his things, though not much, remained neatly in the guest room.
A quiet message.
He was coming back.
"Have a safe trip," Olaedo said.
She tried to sound neutral.
But there was a hint of relief in her voice.
Relief that the person who kept making her feel… unsettled… was finally leaving.
She didn't realize how obvious it was.
Chibuzor saw it immediately.
And it didn't sit well with him.
"Take care of yourself," he said.
His tone was calm, but distant.
Then he gave her a brief look...
Unreadable.
And turned to leave.
The moment he stepped out, Olaedo shut the door.
Quickly.
Too quickly.
On the other side, Chibuzor paused for a second.
That sound...
The door closing so fast...
Sank deeper than he expected.
And somehow…
It left him feeling worse than he already did.
It wasn't that he needed cheering up.
He was leaving of his own free will.
But why did she have to look so relieved?
