Grace's pov

I was having real fun talking with my colleagues.I mean I am a total chatter box and I love talking with people and making friends. But ofcourse it had to be destroyed by this stupid, angry young man known as my boss. Ughh... I really feel like throwing him off of Burj Khalifa and then...

"Grace?" I had to stop with my cursing session as I heard Mrs. Martha's voice.

"Yes mam." Oh god please don't tell me she is here to fire me.

"Please call me Martha. And don't look scared I just wanted to thank you."

Ok now that was totally unexpected

"No problem. But do you think you can tell me the reason for which you thanked me?"

I don't see any reason for her to laugh.

"This is just your first day and yet you did something that has never happened before. You know...

Oh my God grace you are so dumb. She is probably mocking you for sitting on the desk.

With this thought, before she could continue I beat her to it "I am sorry ma.. I mean Martha. I did not know that sitting on the desk is such a big offence here, if I knew about this then I would have definitely not done it. I thought that it is considered as an offence only in schools but....

"Grace, what are you even blabbering?  From where did the desk, school and god knows what else came in between? Anyways before you start again let me finish, the reason I was thanking you for is because this is the first time I saw something even closest to a smile on Ace's face."

"Oh, but who is this Ace?"

"Are you kidding me?" She said with a look of disbelief.

"No actually I...

"As much as I would love to hear you blabber sweetie, we don't really have the time right now, And Ace is the name of our boss."

"No offence but why would you call boss from his name?"

I am freaking confused and curious.

"Because I have been working for him ever since he started this company. Which is 8 years long, And so he is like a brother to me, I would have said son but he does not appreciate it."

"Can I ask you then, what would your's and sir's age be right now?"

I hope this is not to personal and unprofessional.

"It would be too unprofessional to tell you like this. But if we could be friends then I see no harm... So what...

"Ofcourse, I would love to be your friend" I said with too much of happiness.

Martha laughed and said
"Girl, you should really stop cutting people in between. Anyways to answer your question my age is 41 and Ace's age is 27. Now bye gotta go."

With this she started walking.

Oh shoot how can I forget something this important.

I practically ran after Martha to stop her.

"Martha stop, I forgot to ask you something really important. Why did you say that this is the first time you saw sir smiling?"

"Finally, and I thought you'd never ask me" She said once again laughing.

Whenever I am having a conversation with people why the hell do they start laughing. I guess Humans are just weird creatures. I'd never understand them.

As soon as Martha was able to control her laughter she said, "Because since the past 8 years that I have seen him, I have only seen him coming to this office like a dead person and leaving the office like a dead person. I have never seen him do anything lively. You know like... Like all the little things that we all humans do in our day to day lives. Never for once I have seen him leaving the office early for having some time out with his friends or extended family , Or laughing while talking on the phone and these kind of stuffs you know. I don't know what happened which made him like this but I am sure that the death of his parents is not the reason alone." Anyways I have some really important work for which I gotta go. Talk to you later. Babbye."

With this she went. Leaving me to drawn in my own pool of thoughts.

Stop it Grace. You are not gonna overthink whatever Martha told you right now. Its his problem and not yours. And he is no one to you. So you better forget about it.

No I can't. I have to return the favour. I remember my promise to heal atleast one broken person's life and bring happiness to their life. And now I have got a chance to return the favour. Maybe, just maybe thats why I am here. It's time to fullfill the promise. It's time to get to action Grace. Tomorrrow. Yes. Tomorrow will Definitely be a different day for you, Mr. Ace. Even though it would definitely be a Tuesday for you too, yet it would be a different day.

Laughs evilly. (Ok, tries to)
