Flowery talk

"You too? It's a surprise to me. S* I expected..but not you. Will I be able to make you stay?" *Tears well up in her eyes, at the same time I found a lump in my throat.

To be honest, she's never treated me well. She said I was ambitious, chided me at times for being impatient. I never thought she would grow emotional when I left. I never thought I was on her list of "cherished employees".

He boasts about me. He claims that he knows a talent like me. He expects me to leave him someday for greener pastures. He told me "Remember, people who praise you are your friends, people who criticise you are your good friends".

He peppered our conversations with high hopes in me. He had huge plans for me. He heaped praises at me in front of C*. He wanted me to be somewhere someday.

He bypassed me and gave my opportunity to a good for nothing. So much for being his apple.

~

He claims that he likes my positivity and that I will be someone someday. He criticises my proposal and makes things difficult for me.

So what the hell is going on??

Why can't people say what they mean, what they feel and what they want? I don't need flowery talk, I just need you to express what you really mean.
