I took some sleeping pills to calm my brain so I could sleep. Morning came so fast. I didn't see Marcus in the parking lot and I didn't wait. I put on my fake smile and passed out all my daily hugs and had a few morning laughs as I made my way to my station. I put my headphones on because I didn't want to be bothered and went to work. 4 hours later I went to drop off a layout in sports, looked over at Marcus desk to nothing. "Your guy called in" I heard Daniel say. "My guy"? "I see the way you be looking at him every time you come this way. Everybody sees". He said as he laughed. "What ever" I said as I walked away both relieved and unrelieved.
On the ride home I called Nicole to catch her up but she didn't answer. It was still early so I decided I would do some house work. I had to get my house and my life in order. Seemed like everything was spiraling out of my control or was it just me out of control. I had to regroup and fall back, to refocus on my house, work and me.
I got up for work on time with a renewed energy, excited about life and all the accomplishments I was planning on making today. I arrived at work early parked and jumped on the elevator looking for no one today. I strolled to my desk put my stuff down, checked some emails and greeted my team. Missy looked over at me and smiled "You and your Boo ok today"? I smiled back but ignored her comment and continue to work. By 1pm I had wrote 3 blogs and was ready for lunch. As I was about to retreat to our lounge I was greeted with a "hello Zoya". "Boss man what brings you my way"? "There's a big Sports Convention going on this weekend in Miami and I wanted you to attend". "Why, you have a whole sports department"? "There going to be some A List celebrities there". "You still have a whole sports department that specialize in sports stuff". I said laughing with confusion. "I'm giving Marcus his big shot to move up and sending him and a few more people". "Okay and...." "And I want you to go and show him the ropes and train him in the field". "Again why"? "Because your the best and he requested the best". "He asked you to send me with him"? "Yes and he has lots of potential so I agree it would be best. Because you're one of my top writers I want you to show him all the right things to do and how to get the good stories. Besides I'm not asking, I sending you on this assignment Zo, Marcus has the flight and hotel packages, and the agenda package".
Mental note: he requested me but why
