His Treasure

Chapter 20

Zane's POV

Not only is it scary that I may have a little human growing inside me but the scariest things is if i should tell the father or not. But no. I won't. He already discarded and embarrassed me in front of the whole world. What assurance do I have that he'll accept the baby?

I get up from the bed after my little nap. I'm still going to work, although i'm three hours late but I need to do something to get my mind off this issue. I go to the bathroom and retouch my make up and hair. I fix my dress and I'm ready for work.

Passing my parents on the lounge I bid them goodbye but my mom stops me.

"Can't you take a day off today sweety? I mean I don't think you're ready to go work especially not today. "

"No mother, I've been having day offs for three weeks now, if i don't go to work today then i might as well bid farewell to my company. I'll be fine madre, don't worry. I'll see you later. Ti amo padre, madre" I said and kissed her cheek

Arriving at work, everything was a messy. It was chaos. The employees were running around like headless chickens. Their offices were stacked with papers and fabrics. It looked like a pigsty in here.

"What is going on here?" I asked anger dripping from my voice. Everybody stopped on their tracks and looked at me. They looked terrified.

"I said what is going on here, is anyone going to answer or not?"

A woman, I think her name is Hazel spoke up

"Mam, the thing is, you haven't been here and some of the sewing machines are broken and there is no electricity. We have deadlines and we've missed others.  and we don't know what to do?" My goodness what happened here. And why didn't Amanda inform me?

"I'm back now and I'll take care of everything. Now everybody please clean up this mess. Everything will be back to normal in an hour" I said and everybody started cleaning up. My business is failing

I went to my office, Amanda wasn't at her normal desk which was unusual. I'm going to deal with her later. I sat down on my desk and started making calls to fix everything. I found out that the electricity bill wasn't paid yet. What was Amanda thinking? This is why i if I wanted anything done, I should do it myself. I paid the electricity bill and ordered new sewing machines. I managed to convince them that I'll be willing to lay extra if they could deliver them in a hour. I also took care of other things that needed my attention. Also I made an appointment for tomorrow with Dr Gustav at Life Hospital.

"Amanda, I'll like to see you in my office right now?" I said through the intercom.

She entered my office after five minutes

"Yes ma'am" she said

I've laid ground rules between me and her. We are friends but at work i'm her boss, not a friend. I don't mix business with pleasure although I may have compromised my my ethics with Xavier. But I've learned from my mistakes.

"What's your job description?" I inquired

"I'm your P.A"

"What does a P.A do? Shouldn't you report to me on everything that happens in this building in my absence? Amanda I remember leaving you in charge of my business. I know I have a manager but I trusted you, hoping that you'll do a better job? Did you do what I asked you to do?" I asked and she kept quite.

"Did you do your job yes or no?" I asked a little louder this time

"No ma'am"

"What are your working hours here?"

"08:00-17:00" she answered

"When is your lunch break?" I asked

"13:00-14:00" she responded

"I came here at 12:00 and you were no where to be seen. Where were you because your lunch break starts at 13:00 and its 14:30 now, your break ended half an hour ago, but you only just came back now?" I asked in anger

"I'm sorry ma'am, Kael asked me to go to lunch with him and I thought it was fine to leave at that time" she said making me even more angry. My emotions are haywire today.
