FITUS ACHATES

"Excuse me sir! "

"Excuse me! "

"Mmmm, ya I'm listening.. "

"Sir pardon my interruption but it's half past two. I think you should go home"

[no response]

"Sir, we should be heading now"

" Am going to sleep tonight in office " I muttered in sleep

" It's cold out here. Get in the car, I'll drop you" My assistant pleaded

" In that case, you can sleep with me " I teased her (while getting ready to head home)

" Oh, I think you are still dreaming. " She remarked.

Even though she is my assistant, she is more like a friend to me. We often go on drinks together. I told her she can drop the 'sir' part but she is ridiculously stubborn. Well I enjoy her company, so sometimes even when it gets hectic, she somehow manages it. And makes me smile.

"Suzuneeeeeeeeeee..... "

"I am your boss. You can't leave me like that" I screamed(while chasing her)

"Stop ignoring me! " Well saying this won't change a thing but what's wrong in being positive.

[In lift]"Don't push yourself too much. It was not your fault " She said before leaving.

Actually, she says that to me everytime she leaves. I know the facts but it kinda feels nice when she says it. For once it makes me wonder in every now and then, whether it was really my fault? '

Oh, it's getting late I should sleep now.

"Suzune, I think I am almost there" I said while giving final touches to my project.

"Am so excited to see it! " Suzune said giggling.

"Oh really? " I said ambiguously

"Jesus. Don't you ever get tired from this nuisance? " She said w

hile hitting me hard on head!
