Lena came to a stopping point in her day when she decided to go to the break room and grab her lunch bag out the fridge and head back to her room to eat because she really didn't want to be bothered by her nosey ass co-workers.
Her boss Brad knocked then let himself in to her room just as she was about to take the first bite of her power bowl.
She internally groaned because she was actually starving but he normally let himself in so she didn't know why he knocked in the first place.
"Heyyyy Lena, so real quick just wanted to touch base on Anthony and how y'all are doing?" He sat at the chair in front of her nail desk.
"I'm not sure what that has to do with anything..." she started blankly at him waiting for a follow up question because she hated her personal life and work being mixed together.
"No No, I'm just checking in because he's my boy and i wanna make sure he's treating you right." He quipped.
She sighed with frustration "He's a big boy, why don't you ask him?" Her head titled a she tried hard to control her facial expressions.
"Well I haven't spoken to him since he came in for his pedicure but i was also hoping you could talk to him for me about something."
Now Lena was getting annoyed because she was no one's messenger, in this day and age where we all have cell phones if you don't pick up and find out for yourself then that's your loss.
"What's up"she asked dead panned.
"If you could just see when he expects that payment back and how much can i pay at a time because we are kind of hard up right now" he awaited her answer.
This put her off because she knew between the hair side of the salon and the spa side they made plenty of money a month but did not understand the correlation of any payments to Anthony or them being hard up for cash.
She really didn't want to know because once again that would begin to blur the lines of personal and business which she didn't prefer to do.
"I mean I guess I could ask him but I don't think he would mind you sending him a text and cutting me out as the middle man." She looked at him with disappointment as she fiddled with her cuticles.
She was trying not to offend this man because he was her boss and she loved what she did but at the same time she wanted to tell him to grow a pair and handle his business like a man.
"Thanks Lena i appreciate you! Remind me to buy you a drink sometime" he gave her a cheesy smile.
"That's not needed i promise its alright, I'll ask him when he text me ....which should be any minute." She picked up he phone.
"Awesome, you're the best Lena!!" And with that he rushed out of the room.
"Fuckin weirdo" she said under her breath as she checked her messages.
She seen Anthony had in fact text her not too long ago.
That gave her immediate butterflies and she went to reply. This man is making make into a lame! She thought but rushed to text him back anyway.
