"W-w-wha-"He cuts me off, finishing his sentence.

"For you, I know it's hard. That's why I wanted to tell you first. You've been a good girl. You'll do fine here."

I was speechless.

"Of course, you can always visit me, you know where I live. You'll just have to get used to not seeing me as often.."

My mind, was running in circles...

I clench my fists, "How long have you been thinking about this...?"

"A few weeks now."

"Who will be taking over?"

"I won't say yet. But you'll meet him tomorrow."

Tomorrow? Oh, he's going to tell the company about his retirement AND introduce his successor all in one day... I guess I could see how it can be less... I don't know the word, painful?

"I'm sorry Ayren. I just couldn't let you stay in the shadows any longer."

"I...I understand..."

It was a lot to process, with him retiring soon and suddenly meeting his successor the following day.

You can tell by his expression that he's trying to figure out what I'm thinking.

Don't worry, I'm trying to figure it out too.

He clears his throat to break the silence,
"Well then, that's all I have to say for now...and I'm sure this is a lot to..take in mind." He walks over to me and pats my head.

"Go home and relax. Okay? I'll see you tomorrow."

I gently nod my head under his touch.

"Good night sir."

"Good night Ayren." He pasts and walks out the office. I stood there still, in the quiet room. I heave a big sigh and left. I would've locked the door, but I noticed his bag on his chair.

I drop the keys in the bowl, throw my bag onto the couch, and plop on the couch too.

"Rrrrrrrmmph" is all I hear from me exhaling heavily in the pillow. I lay there for a while until I lift my head and take out the ponytail, letting my hair fall to my back. I pull myself up to the kitchen and pull out leftovers from the other night. I microwave the food and head over to my room. I change into my navy blue capri leggings and a black v-neck t-shirt. I slide on orange and white zebra patterned ankle socks and went back to the kitchen.

I go into deep thought of today's events while chewing the mac and cheese.

I drop the fork in the bowl.

Get it together Ayren! This was bound to happen! Mr. DeGrey is at the age where he can retire. I'm surprised, but not.

I'm so confused of my feelings....
