CHAPTER 29

NEWWIEE'S POV

I feel like a bundle of nerves as I was staring and tapping my pen to my small notebook with a blank page. P'Godji, our HR who was in-charge on Earth's send off party informed me the last minute that I should give a parting message to our supervisor which I'm not really good at because..

One, I'm not good at talking in front of a lot of people because I'm having a stage freight even when there are only five of them listening.

Two, I don't like giving messages especially the parting ones.

And three, nothing in particular. I just really don't want to.

I insisted that boss should do it but before I could explain my side, P'Godji or Mae as what we call her shushed me by saying Earth is my mentor and I owe him everything I know work-related which is after all true. I ended up giving in anyway.

Now my mind is not working I don't even know how should I start.

I sighed. A very deep one.

"What are you stressing at?", my boyfriend was lying horizontally on our bed while I was sitting across him, he was as usual playing PUBG or Call of Duty, I don't know or are they the same?

I explained him the situation and ended up asking for his help from which he gave me a sarcastic laugh.

"Okay write this..

Good evening my dear colleagues. Tonight, I am very happy and excited at the same time as our dear Earth will be leaving us soon to pursue his big dreams in Singapore but don't you worry because I will be as equally as good as him in-"

"Okay stop right there. Thanks!", I cut him off. I hate to say this but he's not helping. I mean, who would say something like that to a person who was always been there for you and helped you get through your work everyday.

I admit I'm feeling excited and scared as to what's gonna happen on my next venture as a supervisor and thinking that Earth's not gonna be there not only saddens me but worries me that I might never be as good as him.

"Aarrghh", I groaned as nothing really is coming out of my smart brain. The party is tonight, in four hours to be specific, and I have nothing yet to say to my very good mentor.

I lay down on the bed and crossed my arm on my head to clear my mind. I closed my eyes for a nap, in case I could think of something once I wake up.

"Wake me up after thirty minutes", I told Tay and just said 'K' following a loud 'YES!!', from which is because of the game he was playing.

We were always like this when we're both free and nothing shocks me anymore everytime he scream or yell or curse when he's on his game unlike before that he often gives me mini heart attacks.

After a short nap that I thought of, I woke up when I heard Tay call my name.

"Hin, wake up. It's been thirty minutes", he said as he was tugging my boxers.

I blinked my eyes, fighting the drowsiness I still feel until I finally close my eyes and let myself get lost to sleep.

"Hey love, wakey wakey..", it was Tay again, this time kicking me lightly on the head with his foot.

I grunt in frustration. I want to sleep more. But I know my persistent boyfriend won't stop until he finally see me with eyes wide open.

Right. I still need to work on that speech. Damnit.

I quickly grabbed the notebook and pen on my side and covered my face with the notebook open and apparently I was sleeping again.

"Can't think of anything yet?", Tay asked and I jumped as I woke up from yet another unforeseen catnap.
