Chapter 15 Not backing off

Gina's point of view.....

      The moment I got to work, I breathed in a bit of fresh air,coming to work has always been my save line. I dare not miss work for anything,if not boredom will pay a visit to me.

      My boss was yet to come,I guess it has to do with last night party. Maybe he is going to take a day off. I called him and he told me he is on his way. 

After I hung the call, I settled down to work. I have a lot on my list today and I am getting it done before the day runs out.

     My boss arrived a moment later and I saw him to his office,asked him how his night and morning went,he answered all cheerfully and I left to get him a coffee. I took the cup of coffee he requested to and got back to my desk to begin my work. I need to make copies of last week sales and make statement of the company financial statue. It's going to be a lot of work.

    "Let's begin"

I said to my self,I started with making copies,that's the hardest part. If am done with it, finishing the other part will not be difficult. Half way through the copies,my phone rang. Lo and behold;it was my mom calling. I thought of not picking it but decided against it.

"Hello Mom."

I said when her voice came through.

"Hi dear"

she replied,

    "How are you doing"?

      she asked . I was silent for about few second before I answered her.

"I am doing great mom,how about you?"

      It's been two days and I have not heard from her, usually I made sure I called her every day but our relationship seems to be diminishing these days and I can't help it. I don't pray that we become strangers.

"I am doing great,the Lord is always good"

she said and continue,

" It just that I miss you. When are you visiting home?".

    I sighed,mom is always like this. 

    "I miss you too, I have been busy with work"

I told her

   "I will see you on Sunday,bye I love you"

"Always know that momma loves you very much and I will do anything to make you happy,see you on Sunday"

   she said and hung the call,I released the air I don't realised I was holding,mom sure have a way of making me feel bad.

   I suddenly felt guilty but why am I guilty?,I should not be because I have done nothing wrong to deserve the dish society and religion has served me. I am not going back on my resolve,no matter the consequence,I am not backing off.

       I stood up and strolled to the end of the office,I have been sitting down for a long time. Let me stretched my legs a little. I walked for about one minute and returned to my seat. I needed to finish this work cut for me first,I can't be on it for the whole day.

      My boss have not really come out since morning and it's past noon,I hope he is ok? . I decided if I am through with what am working on,I will go and check on him. I got done and went to his office only to see that he was fast asleep on his desk. I closed the door noiselessly,I did not want to wake him. I am surprised to see him on that state,it's unusual of him. He is pure definition of business before pleasure.

     I dropped a note on my desk and grabbed my bag. I have not had any solid food today,let me grab some lunch. I walked out gracefully,with my head held high.
