chapter 10

" I looked up the apartment you wanted and it was all you wanted, " I said

"Great "

"Should I book it already? " I should it the designs and the rooms available in their picture.

"Absolutely," he said moving from the desk " and it might be possible not to mention where we will be staying to the other staff, so as not to cause a misunderstanding, especially to Paulina. she's is best at jumping to conclusions, remember the way she did when she walked up to me hugging you? we don't want to start any strange rumors "

"Right we don't "

"Good," he said before walking back into his office

She laughed off being careful, for him not to overhead. if he knew what she thought was with him.

She was about to make the process of the booking final a courier walked in, with a gift box and a bouquet.

"Hello ma'am, I'm here to deliver it to ms Amelia and the receptionist said it was you "

who would have sent her a box and flower, she made a face hoping that it wasn't sent by her ex

hoping to get her back but when she opened the card which was inside the flowers, the word in it made her teary all of a sudden for the second time.

I hope the flowers, bring a smile to your face

May that jerk rot in hell, he wasn't good for you anyway

love from Lena

she smiled, she wasn't expecting anything from her, Lena works in the financial department at the company they became fast friends during the company's get-together party and sometimes they meet at the bus station and come to work together.

The jerk in the letter made her laugh, which came as a relief to the courier who looked like he would collapse from worry any moment.

Everything is fine " I said to make him relax, waiting till he left before leaving the office to check on Lena.

I met her at the lady's restroom and thanked her profusely.

" I feel it will come you down. when I'm in distress I love looking at flowers and it keeps me from not breaking down" How do you feel drinking to lessen your worries maybe we could go to karaoke afterward. would you have a drink with me after work?"

"I would love to, " Amelia said .she missed her girl's night out with some of her friends especially Sophia

"Great " Lena said will you be joining us this weekend "

I don't think so, I have to be with the boss to inspect the new place and staff. he will be traveling away soon and he wants to be assured that everything goes smoothly with me there "she added explanation. " I need to talk to the staff and also the manager, "

"But that's a long drive away, you'll have to stay overnight "

"Probably and there are plenty of motels up there too ".

"Yeah, that's true "

"I'd better go back to work or he might say I'm slacking off "

"I can imagine, "Amelia said

"He's a workaholic and except after everyone to be the same "

"I won't trade work with you, especially work hand in hand with him. I would have to resign"

"I don't mind, I love my job " Amelia meant it.

Don't you get tired of being at his beck and call all the time? I mean the things he asks you to do sometimes " she rolled her eyes in the process if he knew his nickname some call him, slave master while others call him terror lord.
