“ Where are you, Sam ? Sir Rafael's looking for you ? ” Nellie, from the other lone. She's my co-worker.

“ Uh... I'm around the corner. I'll be there within 15 minuets. ” I drove my car so fast.

Sir Rafael won't scold at me, I know that. He's kind and good. He's the kind of person that doesn't know how to get mad. I like the personality he had. How I wished, I know how to do that...?

“ Please Sam. Hurry, okay ? ”

“ Yeah, yeah. I'll hang up now. ”

I ended the call and turn the left way.

I arrived 20 minuets after the call. I ran as fast as I could and went inside the elevator.

As I arrive at 15th floor, Nellie was in panic mode. She wore white skirt and a redish top. She's 28 years old and soon to be Mrs.

“ Nellie, ”

She turned around and when she saw me, she changed her expression to relax.

“ Sir Rafael wants to talk to you, ”

I swallowed.

“ Go, ” She said.

I knocked on the glass door, “ Come in, ” Sir Rafael replied.

I slowly went inside, opening the glass door.

“ Sir ? ”

He turned around from his chair, “ Ms. Saniver, I was waiting for you. ”

“ What is it all about, Sir ? ”

He stood up from his chair, “ Sit down, ” He told me. I sat down from the chair across his table.

“ I want to have the list of meetings I'll attend this whole week. ”

“ Of course, Sir. Right away. ”

“ Then put it here, on my table. ” I nod at what he told me.

He smiled and said, “ You may go, ” I stood and walk out of the room.

I went to Nellie who was now typing something on the computer.

“ You made me nervous ! ” I told her. She stood up and went to me.

“ So, what happened ? Are you fired ? ”

“ What ? No ! Nothing like that happened. ”

She sighed, “ So, what was it all about ? ”

“ He asked me for the list of the meetings he'll have. That's all. ”

“ The gossips around here are true. ”

I looked at her while she's holding her chin.

“ What gossips ? ”

“ Didn't you know ? Sir Rafael was suffering heart injury. And we think that he will be gone for a months then his son will temporarily act as CEO in this company. ”

“ Its still a gossip, lets not talk about Sir. ”

“ Kay fine. ”

“ I'll go to my cubicle. ” she nods and continues her encoding.

“ Hey Sam ! Hurry up ! Sir Rafael's waiting for us ! ” Nellie told me. I was washing my hands after we took our lunch break.

“ Why so sudden ? ”

“ I think it will be about the-- ”

“ Shhh ! Stop. Let's go. ”

We dashed to the office and saw the we're the only who's their waiting.

“ They're here, Sir. ” Jacob shouted and all of my co-workers turned. Awkward right ?

“ Okay, I am temporarily will have a vacation. And I know that you all knew about it, ” Sir Rafael smiled and the people here chuckled.

Nellie armed me from behind, “ I told you ! ”

“ Shhhh... ”

“ I will rest for about 6 to 7 months but don't worry, my son, Darius will take over the responsibilities of this company. He's smart, so don't worry about the disicion he'll make. Its only temporary. And he will start tomorrow. Any questions ? ”

Someone raised his hand, he caught our attentions.

“ What is it Mr. Gil ? ”

“ Uhm.. Sir, is he like you ? ”

Sir Rafael got confused, “ What do you mean ? ”

“ Like he'll treat us like what you did ? ”

We all laughed at his question. Also Sir Rafael did smiled.

“ What ? I'm just asking, okay ? ”

“ I know you're all curioused about his attitude. We're not the same. He's more serious about something. He will be cold to you guys. Just do whatever he asks you but if it was out of limit and you knew that it will destroys the company, do something. I talked to him about that matters and I will remind him again about that. So, any questions ? ”

We all silenced. We're waiting for someone to asks again. But no one talk.

“ Everything's cleared here. Dismissed. ”

Oh ! I almost forgot the list ! I dashed to my table and pick the papers and went to Sir Rafael who was about to leave.

“ Sir, here it is. ”

He smiled, “ I'd like you to keep it and give it personally with him tomorrow. ” He said.

“ Sure, Sir Rafael. ” He smiled and turned away. I walked away when I heard him says, “ Oh... Ms. Saniver, ”

I looked at him, “ Anything, Sir ? ”

“ Please assist my son when he's now working here, is that okay for you ? ”

“ Its still part of my job here, Sir ”

“ Thank you, Ms. Saniver. ”

I smiled in reply.
