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

10th CHAPTER

gill  burton...

 I woken up by the sound of a closing door. who's that?

 My head hurts a bit. I have a wet towel on my head. A bowl of congee in my side table and a bottle of medicine.

How?

I tried to remember but I can only remember a few things but still not clear. I can't remember how I came home.

maybe it's just grand ma and grand pa who took care of me last night. 

I look at the time and its almost time to go  to work. I know I still have a slight fever but I still have to go to work I have to finish a lot by today.

I took a bath and put a clothes on a cap and a face mask.

Before I go to work I should thank them frist.

The store is already open.

"grand ma" I removed my cap.

"why did you get up so early? I doubt you are completely fine."

"I feel fine already. Thank you very much for taking care of me. I don't know how to repay you. Please tell me if there is anything I can do for you."

"That's totally fine. You are also a family to us. And its not like we did a lot. If there is someone you should thank it the woman living in the rooftop. She is the one who took care of you. me and my old man marely did anything. That girl even carry you up stairs."

"Really? than I should thank her too." But just a simple thank you won't be enough. I wonder what is she like.

"She's already gone to work. you can just thank her later. but you should have rested today, don't g to work."

xena...

....at work

I feel a bit sleepy. I guess he won't be here today. So why do I came here?

Just then I saw him coming. I stand up to greet him. 

He still a bit warm when I left.

"good morning sir. Do you feel fine now?"

"of course.--- wait.--- how did you know I'm sick?"

"NO! I didn't know!" Aiisshh! Xena! you are not thinking! 

"are you really sick sir? is it bad?" I pretending to be innocent.

"no, I'm fine." then he came in inside his office.

I'm slapping my mouth. what kind of brain do you have?

but, Is he really alright? won't he collapse again? I'm a bit worried.

Instead of coffee I started giving him tea. He is not complaining as I thought he would. I think he also like tea.

He got a lot of meeting today, inside and outside of the company he got a lot of person to meet.

This day passed me realizing how amazing he is. I know he doesn't feel well but he done his job well, not only well but in excellent way. 

"Are you sure you are ok sir?" I can help but ask.

But he just looked at me coldly and said "yes."

"then I'll be going home." 

"Mr. Pon is coming back tomorrow, go back to you previews department

"yes sir." We are in his car, I got off and watch it leave.

I'm feeling......  sad.

" wait... why?. why would a I?" It's a good thing right? I won't see him again as much. I don't have  to tolerate his cold attitude towards me. so why am I feeling sad?
