You're Drifting...

"How are you dear? It's been quite long since we last saw" Lilian spoke into the phone, her motherly voice calming my nerves. It's been almost forty eight hours since my unfortunate experience at the dream club. To say I'm still frightened would be an understatement. I've tried my best to forget any of it ever happened but to be honest, none of it has working so I decided to call Lilian, she is the best person to speak to. Though I'll definitely not be telling her any of it, she would probably panic and then insist I comeback home or something like that.

"Yes Lilian, it's been a few days. I really miss you and Greg though, it'll be nice to finally get to see you both. My last visit was very snappy" I said, a smile forming on my lips.

"Yes it was really snappy. I was shocked when Greg told me you had left already. You didn't even stop by to have breakfast at least" Lilian complained.

I sighed exasperatedly "you know how important my work is to me, I just couldn't afford bring late and I was already quite late on that said day. I just..."

"You're the boss Ana, no one can hold you at random for being a few minutes late to your own workplace. Besides, you weren't even that late" Lilian insisted, I could tell she was very angry, she's always like that. She is very protective of me and she doesn't like letting me out of her sight. I know it's as a result of her love for me.

"I know Lilian, bit I'm not that kind of boss at all, I'm very pumped about my work ethics. You know it's best to live by example, if I show good work ethics then my employees would have no choice than to do the same. But enough of that, I'm really missing your incredible homemade food. I'm literally salivating"

Lilian chuckled lightly "oh my, that makes me blush in excitement. There's really nothing like homemade food is there? I'll be more than happy to cook for you today. Why don't you come over so I can serve you your favorite meal?" She suggested.

I thought about it for a moment, I was free this evening since it was Sunday and I had nothing to do but I really don't feel like going out. I just want to stay home and have a good rest, after all I had an horrific experience on Friday night.

"I wish I could but unfortunately, I'll have to decline. I'm feeling lazy today and I'm also a little occupied, tommorow is also a work day so I have to prepare. Mondays are really stressful so I need to rest. I'll come over tommorow" I said hesitantly, I know she's been missing me a lot lately but I really I have no choice. I'm not in the mood to meet both of them, they'll definitely notice something is wrong and I don't want them to know about it.

Tommorow will be really stressful, I also have that meeting with that lady... The ten million dollars deal, I completely forgot about it! I have to give them a reply tomorrow but I totally forgot about it. I need to inform Lilian too, she would be a good guide.

"You still can't make it today? You're always making excuses nowadays. Since you left our house, you've now been distant to say the least. Is there anything wrong? Are you suddenly drifting..."

"Oh Lilian... Are you kidding me? Take it easy there, how could you say something like that to me Lilian? You honestly think I'm intentionally drifting away from you? Is that what you think of me? I'm just busy Lillian, it's nothing serious. Besides I was at the cafe barely two days ago and I've been texting both of you everyday. I even stopped by last Monday and stayed the whole day, not to mention that I missed work Tuesday morning just because I wanted to spend extra time with both of you. How could you honestly think I'm drifting away Lilian? What more could I honestly do to prove that I care?" I was really offended right now. I love both Lilian and Greg deeply and I make sure I leave at least one text each day. I visit them at least three times a week and I send them pictures everyday. What else does Lilian want from me?

Even when I spend the whole weekend with the and I finally decide to leave, she'll complain and say I'm being distant. I'm really confused by her actions, it bothers me sometimes, how much time do I have to spend with them for them to know that I care enough?

"I don't mean it that way Ana... Bit you have to understand with me, it's really not easy leaving apart from you. It's just that I miss you that's why it's coming across like that... I'm sorry"

"You don't have to be sorry, it's not easy for you and I'm starting to understand. But you'll have to understand that I won't be around all the time, I don't want you waiting on me then getting disappointed all the time, it will end up making me feel guilty. I'm sorry and I care for you very much, I want you to always remember that. It's getting late, go have dinner and get to bed. Goodnight" I said before ending the call.

After hours of thinking about Lilian and Greg, my kind drifted to the ten million dollars deal, it's really important that I think this through carefully. They accepted that my company could still work with other clients and take up new offers but I particularly mustn't style anyone else. So the contract is basically between me and them.

I might be a millionaire already but ten million dollars is a great deal, if I get a good review from my client, my company would get to greater heights. According to Clara, he's really prominent.

So it's settled, I'll meet the man who's offering me ten million dollars tommorow...
