Chapter 4 FOUR

The day moved so slowly that I was counting down the seconds until I could get back home and get work done. Not that there is anything to do at home, but I imagine that from now I will be sitting in front of my laptop and searching for numerous jobs

Because I know there is no way I will be retained here and that breaks my heart so much. I love working here, literally, all my colleagues are my friends too, and I always look forward to every hanging out we do together

"Are you done with the filling and why is your face suddenly so sad?" Monique asks me from her table. She is looking at me

"Nothing, I just seem to have a lot on my head" I replied to her,

She gave me a scrutinizing look before looking away and focusing back on what she was doing

Sincerely I hope the day is coming to an end. Because I'm half tired already and cannot wait for this day to pass

I just want to get back to the comfort of my bed and think about nothing. Not that I wouldn't think when I have little Jaycee to worry about

"Zendaya?" someone called my name and I raised my head to see the financial manager had walked into the office

My head is outright, and I was staring at her. Seeing the look she was directing my way, I stood up immediately, making sure my eyes were pinned on her

"I have been here for close to 5 solid minutes, and you are not here with us" she complained through the eyes she was giving me right now

For a year now she has made me her enemy in this place and I haven't been able to satisfy whatever is going on with her by being the best I could and giving the best character, so she wouldn't judge me based on her wickedness but here we are today

"I umm have some numbers I am trying to figure out, and they made me lost for a minute" I answered her sharply

Mina is trying to keep her laughter when I stare her way and so are the others

"You have a number you are working for, yet you are the only one remaining to submit what I asked to be submitted. How does that sound to you?" she gave me an irritating eye to figure out

"Am sorry I would do that right now" I apologized, sitting down and sorting through the numbers I have been working on

She gave me a brief glance before finally looking away and to the others, she directed the looks to

"The finance aspect of this company is the powerhouse, and it is a pity that they have to go off work, and now we are being owned by another cause a few minutes ago the company was sold," she said

I hear a gasping sound around and everyone is looking shocked when I turn around to look at them, why are they acting like they do nothing?

"Now the first thing to do is clean up the entire staffs which was recommended," she said

I sighed out rightly, not that I haven't expected it, which makes it more painful seeing I will be the first person to be swept out and away

"Tomorrow there will be a meeting right here in the morning and I want each one of you to be ready for that meeting. For now, that will be all" She didn't wait for anyone to acknowledge what she had spoken when she turned her back and left

"Not that I wasn't expecting such a thing to happen" Monique is the first person to speak

"This was planned as soon as the takeover bid came up," Solomon said

They broke into an argument and I couldn't bother disturbing myself with what was being said and argued. Knowing that my life is half done with, I am trying my best to keep sane and just let the thought wander off me

"Daya why aren't you saying something," Monique asks, and I turn my attention to them, looking at each one of them

"When the sweeping out of the workers starts most of you will be retained if not all of you. People like me have nothing to keep us here apart from the daily work, we don't even have a cert to satisfy the new people" I answered slowly

The whole office went silent as I spoke, I could see it in their eyes without any of them saying anything. They know that I am speaking nothing but the truth, and they know this might be the final week before I will be laid off

"Daya you can never understand what might be going through these people's minds, and you are a great worker too and will be retained too so don't even say that," Monique said sympathetically

I couldn't look at their eyes and the sympathy that filled them so taking out a seat I pulled it out, and I am leaving the office

I heard them call my name but kept walking straight. God, I cannot even go to the restroom because of what happened earlier, so I just walked straight outside standing there.

Bringing out my phone, I checked through the last of the CV I submitted and sighed heavily, I have no qualifications and this place was my last hope to do something outright and earn very well to take care of my son

raising my head I let the coldness of the breeze wash over my face before I turn back inside returning to the office

They all raised their heads when I walked in, but none said a word to me. I walked to the system, inputted what I was working on, and I let my fingers do the rest of the sums

I just know that somehow I am going to survive all this and that is enough motivation for me to keep working...
