"it's cool, i understand" i said to my mom as i got up to leave her office
"i'm so sorry baby" she apologized again
"nah don't be, it's not your fault. i'll see if i can ride with 'mir or take an uber maybe"
i didn't wait for her to respond before walking out. i dragged my feet as i walked back over to the cubicle where melissa was waiting to finish my training. before i could fully walk in asaad's office door swung open.
i turned to look at him before fully going in and sitting at my seat. of course he had to come in after me.
"melissa i need you to fax these over to kim" he said while holding out a manila file
she nodded then took it from him. she's probably just gonna wait for him to leave then ask me to do it.
he was about to leave but then stared at me, i guess trying to read me.
"my office" he said as he walked out
i stood up and followed behind him till we got to his office. he walked in all the way to his desk and took a seat before acknowledging me.
"yeah?" i asked still standing by the door
"come here" he said signaling me to come over
i rolled my eyes before beginning to walk over to him. i stopped right in front of his desk.
"come here" he said once again
this nigga annoying yo.
i walked around his desk till i was standing right next to him. he spun himself in his seat then stopped once he was facing me—well my lower half anyways.
"what's good with you?" he asked looking up at me
"nothing"
"i can't help you if you're not gonna tell me what's up"
"bruh why you care?"
"𝖘𝖎𝖗" he corrected "and you're my employee. as an employer i have to make sure all of my employees are—"
"nigga that's cap! just this morning susan was at her desk balling her eyes out 'cus her aunt passed and you walked right by her like you ain't even know who she was. you only tryna help 'cus you tryna fuck with me"
he opened his mouth to speak but then just started nodding in agreement.
"you right. but for real though what happened?" he asked while readjusting himself in his seat
"i was tryna get this car for prom tomorrow, my mom was gonna rent it for the day for me. she got a call this morning though, her mom's condition worsened and so she needa use that money towards her treatment. i'm not mad at her 'cus i get it, that's more important. i'm just tight at the situation, like why it had to happen today?"
