SAVE ME

Chapter 17

"Yes," I say, my phone between my ear and shoulder. I was at Gale Hall, checking up on everything, just making sure that everything is going smoothly.

"Ma'am" I heard someone say from behind me so I turned to look at him and then told the person I was on a call with that I would call them later "There's some kind of issue," he said and I frowned.

"What could that be?" I asked him.

"Err... err... the guys that were going to bring the decorations had a little accident and..." I gasped as I looked at him in panic.

"Oh my GOD, when did it happen?" I asked, "Are they okay?" I could feel my heart race and my limbs shake from the scare... I am really hoping that it's not a terrible one.

"Earlier this morning and they will be fine. It's a minor injury and they will be fine soon" he replied and I let out a breath of relief, at least I know that it was not too serious.

"Thank GOD" I put my hand on my chest and thank GOD internally.

"So... ma'am" he began but I interrupted.

"It's okay, I understand. Send my love to them" I say and he turned to leave after saying thanks to me.

I looked around the hall and it was looking good. The renovations did a great deal in making this hall look this beautiful. The guys were almost done and I can say that they are doing a perfect job. I went outside to check on them and it was looking nice from the outside too.

The event comes up in a few weeks and I don't think I can ask Morgan for her help with the further decorations, her exams started this week and they will go on for like two or three weeks, not sure but I don't want to distract her. She already has a gig she needs to do too, so not much work for that girl.

I want her to concentrate. She already helped me with a few that Mr. Roberto checked when he met her again.

I don't really know how to go about this since the guys that we contracted are in the hospital and I don't know when they will be out.

I think I will look for an alternative just in case and to avoid any form of delay.

It was almost evening when I checked the time and the guys were done with the painting. I love it and they even put up the 'Lewis Firm End of Year Party' sign. It looks pretty.

I went around the hall to check all that has been done, what needs adjustment, and what need to be attended to.

Food & Drinks = Check!

Painting = Check!

Renovations = Check!

Snacks = Check!

Decorations = Needs to be attended to...

MC = work on that.

I went to the bathroom to check, seems okay though but needs a bit of extra work here and there. I will make sure it's fixed on Saturday, I made a mental note and set a reminder on my phone.

When I was done with checking everywhere and noting down what needs to be attended to, I bumped into someone thankfully it wasn't too hard so I steady myself before I could fall.

I looked up and saw Mr. Roberto standing in front of me with a smile on his face. He wasn't wearing his work clothes and I know why. Rather he had a navy-blue fitted V-neck shirt and a pair of blue jeans, his slightly gray hair isn't styled like it used to be but his overall look is okay... better than last year.
