I WISH I WAS THE NERD: the girl at the back

9th CHAPTER

gill burton..

"oh you are finally here!" Auntie said full of excitement. Its been more than a month since I last saw them both. 

We exchange kisses and hugs.

"Are you alone? where is your secretary that Tracie sent?" Dad asked.

It made me smirk and shook my head. "she's in the restroom. Don't tell me you suddenly invited me not to see me but to see her?"

The both of them can't deny the guilt n their faces.

" She's not my type at all. she's the worst. worst than all you have sent before so don't hope for anything."

"I can't seem to believe that. Tracie looks so excited while saying that this time you would want get married."

"That's impossible. She just probably wanna tease me"

We started eating when my phone vibrated. I checked. its from her, my secretary.

"And here I've received a message from her saying she doesn't feel well."

"Really? is she still in the restroom? I should go check on her." auntie said in worry.

"there is no need. she also said she's on her way to the nearest hospital."

"eiii... how coldhearted can you be? you could have atleast follow her. and see how bad her condition is." Dad said, but I have no plan on listening.

"shall we eat?" I said changing the topic.

........

After diiner I returned to the office I thought I won't see this woman here cause she just said earlier that she is not feeling well. But she's just sitting there blankly. I was about to just pass on her but I notice her food still untouched.

I don't want  to concern myself but I can't help but asking.

"hey." after I made a sound it was just then when her soul finally comes back to her.

"sir!" she stand up like she was electrified.

"bring me coffee. come inside and make it yourself."

"yes sir."

"you look fine to me, are you really that sick a while ago?"

It seems like she lied to me. she looks hesitant to answer me. 

"s..sorry..I.."

"that really doesn't matter if you are going to give another lie again" I came in to my office after I said that. 

............

xena carter...

woah, I was left with nothing  to say. that guy is really really mean. And also right I guess. I might end up giving him a lie as an excuse.

I followed him inside to make him a cup of coffee. I carefully placed it beside him and came back outside as his desk attendant.

I already skipped lunch, am I going to forget about dinner too? 

Its now 8 in the evening and he is still not coming outside. Maybe he totally forgot about the time because of how busy he is.

Just then my phone rung. I answered and its from Gill.

"you can go home." it was just that then he cut the line.

what a jerk? then I'll go home. who wouldn't want to rest. My body might not be tired but my mental state is about to collapse.
