1010words
This here meant that there was no use of going to eat anyways because I was going to go off in two hours and a half so I might just finish my project.
But I did not finish on time unfortunately and I was exhausted by the time the clock struck five.
I felt energyless. I was ready to go take a bath and forget everything going on.
I didnt finish anyways because it was due for a week and well I felt good knowing that I was atleast halfway done.
I logged out of my computer and arranged my things. The door swung open and a good looking boss of mine entered inside and looked at me with the eyes I once encountered when I came for the job interview.
Cold
Distant
Hard
Harsh
But most of all emotionless.
He really did hate me.
What did I really do.
I returned the same.
Well I hoped I did.
A blank stare.
"I would like to invite you to my engagement party" he said looking at me.
Aiming to get an emotion out of me.
He got none.
My heart tightened.
Well what did you expect woman.
"I respectively decline your invitation Mr Ivanov." I said with a tight smile on my face as I slid back the fancy gold looking envelope.
Please get out.
He looked taken back and gave me a look as if he wanted an explanation.
He looked like he didn't expect the answer that just came out of my mouth.
And with that being said I stood up ready to leave but before I could leave I heard a 'why'.
"Excuse me?" I asked looking over my shoulder.
"I asked why you declined my invitation when it is out of generosity and a simple act of kindness" he said looking my way.
I chuckled.
"No offense sir but I didnt ask any of that in the first place.
I kindly decline you invitation.
You have a lot of workers here I'm sure you can give to any of them.
I'm a simple worker and there are a lot of simple workers like me in this building.
You made sure to put that cross.
And with that being said have a lovely evening" I said and continued my way.
I marched to the elevator and I could feel a single tear falling.
I was hundred and one fucked.
And this did not do me any justice.
Today I wouldn't have it.
I did promise myself to rarely cry and with that promise I gave myself thirty seconds to cry.
Only thirty and that wasnt even halfway the trip in the elevator.
I wiped my tears.
Why cry
Why continuously cry when what was done was already done.
I just didnt see a reason.
What was done was already done.
What was remaining was to let fate take over and I did just that.
When the elevator reached the lobby I looked clean.
With no trace of a single tear and well good thing.
Fishing out the keys in my purse I unlocked my car and entered inside.
I needed to get the fuck out of here or else I was going to do something stupid.
Something I would regret or something that would cost me my job.
After I sped out of the parking lot I went to pick my baby and came from my mom's with a plate full of food which gave me a reason not to cook.
I fed him and after that we watched a little bit of cartoon with his usual cup of milk and then went to tuck him in.
He was telling me about how he had fun in school and he built a Lego.
I almost forgot how much he could talk even thought most of the words weren't comprehensive.
I went to tuck him in with a smile and after that I go a phone call.
I almost grinned when I saw the caller ID but a smile was enough.
"Hello princess" he said on the other end and I almost blushed.
"Hi Nail and since when?" I asked with a smile on my face.
He really was a gentle man and knew how to treat a woman.
But the sad thing was that I did not have feelings for him and for me to jump from a heartbreak to thrusting the my heart to someone else hands was a no.
That just wasnt me.
But I did let him know that I didn't have feelings for him and he told me it was alright.
I tried stopping to talk to him but he told me that he was good and I shouldnt stop talking to him because he did enjoy my company.
He said that it would be fun to give Mr Ivanov a heart attack some times and I almost chuckled.
If only he knew.
Yeah why didn't I have feelings for a gentleman like him.
So we did talk.
Almost the whole night and after talking to him I felt a little better.
He didnt need to know that I was feeling down or that he lifted my spirit up.
Nothing to boost a man's ego.
We talked really and he told me of how he met a woman where he had gone.
In south Africa.
He met a south African.
Those women are said to be babes from left to right and top to bottom.
He told me of how she is feisty and a smart mouth how she almost punched him when he asked her for sex.
I laughed.
When I said gentleman I didnt know he asked for sex on first meetings.
The whole time he was telling me the story I was dying of laughter.
She scared him shitless and who thought.
Upon hearing his story I updated him on how good it has been and how work was.
