Chapter 2 I Am So Sorry

Chapter 2- I am so sorry

I looked up at her distinguished self and felt lowly, some of my colleagues watched me with worry and others envy. It was a big achievement to be known by name by the big boss among the almost five hundred workers in the company

I slowly made my way to the stairs leading to the next floor which was where the elevator was situated and it was used when one wanted to see the main boss in the six floors building. I reached the floor and the managers looked at me questionably but I only nodded and looked in at the place I saw her before ascending the stairs. But she was nowhere to be found which concluded that, she had already gone to her office. Numerous thoughts rushed through my head and yet I couldn't figure why my boss will call me and that too by herself and not using another medium.

I took the stairs and tried all I could to calm down my rapid beating heart, I was too nervous for my good but what could be done? I arrived at the place and saw her magnificent office. The place had only glass as its walls that one could see outside from inside but couldn't see inside from outside. Half of the floor was her office and the other part was the conference room where the directors met. And a tiny corridor led in front of the elevator, her office was the first so I walked to it and knocked on the door.

A sexy and low voice then answered,

"Come in Boston."

I looked around and thought I was hearing things so I knocked on the door once again. And this time, I heard my boss's voice,

"I said come in Boston, it's open."

I stood in front of her desk and looked down at her as she typed on her laptop vigorously. I was looking at the laptop she was working on and thought to look somewhere else, then my eyes fell on her huge bosom. A few of the bottoms of her shirt were loose so I could see her white glowing skin on her breast. It was a first, that I had seen her not in a coat and her bottoms opened, it wasn't something that I was expecting. I felt awkward so I looked away, cleared my throat and looked away from her.

She looked up and sighed

"Ooh Boston, how long have you been here?

I shook my head and answered,

"I just got here mum"

She smiled slightly and then got up from her seat,

"Boston, why do you think I called you here? You are an employee in my company just like the others but I noticed you, why do think this was possible? What do you and your colleagues do in this company?"

I looked in her eyes and for the first time, saw how dazzling her eyes were, I noticed she had long wavy hair cascading on her shoulders down to her back and the body that stood in front of me. Was, mind-blowing, then I understood why all the guys in the company couldn't look in her way twice. It was her turn to clear her throat, she looked away from my gazing eyes. I realized I was checking her out but I felt nothing towards her even though she was gorgeous. So I replied,

"I am just a typist and a writer of the short stories in the newspapers and on the company's blog and I am not the only one doing that. After we have written our stories, we submit them to our managers and they meet to select the befitting one for the papers. My story thankfully has been selected five times in my one month of working here. As much as I think about it, I believe that should be the only reason you called me here."

She shook her head and I deliberated about it, if it wasn't the reason she called me, what else could be it? She saw my confusion and came closer to me, she put her hand on my shoulder but she removed it in seconds. She sighed and walked past me saying?

"Boston, from today, you will be working as my secretary. What do you have to say about this?"

I took a step back and bumped right into her chest. The softness of her breast registered on my back and she gasped slightly. So I turned swiftly and before I knew it, the space between us was only an inch or shorter. She looked right in my eyes and breathed in and out before taking a step back, I swallowed hard and spoke,

"Mum, my mom is on the hospital bed as we are speaking, awaiting surgery so if you don't mind shall we continue this conversation tomorrow?"

And as if she had been broken from a spell, she collected herself and nodded vigorously and walked hurriedly to her chair. She sat down and sighed before answering without looking up at me,

"You can go, but come to my office as soon as you are free. I mean, you will have to take care of your sick mom after the surgery for a while right? So take a few days off."

I thanked her and rushed out of the as if been chased, it wasn't the first time a woman was flirting with me. But this time, it was my boss, I could lose my job at a little mistake.

I got out of the elevator and down the stairs and felt the stares following me but I wasn't bothered about that. I had my sick mother to think about and so I rushed out of the company and in thirty minutes I was standing right in front of my mother's room. Yet she was nowhere to be found, I checked my time and gathered that, I had been one hour and thirty minutes away.

The only reason that came to mind was that they had started the surgery before I had arrived. 'If they started just the time I sent in the money, they should have finished then, so why was she still not in her room?' I wondered.

As I stood there in wonder, I saw the doctor coming my way. I sighed alleviating my beating heart, he came in in front of me and gazed on the floor instead of my face. I was getting worried about his look but I couldn't bring myself the reason he was down-spirited so I waited for him to speak. He finally sighed and the words flew from his mouth as if he didn't hurry, he couldn't even if he was given a lifetime.

"Your mom, she couldn't make it through the surgery. I am so sorry..."
