Through The Pain

Whatever happens to my plan of resigning? Well, I'm still here sitting on my desk. My boss is in a meeting, surprisingly, he didn't require me to be there since it started an hour ago and I just came because I am still taking his daughters to school every morning. He is still cold and aloof and intimidating and irritating but he started to become a little bit considerate.

Aside from that, I am now starting to doubt if he is making any effort in finding a permanent nanny for Aenid and Faye. Is that hard to find? I mean, there are a lot of agencies out there that offer qualified nannies for his daughters. Or he is just too picky?

It's been two weeks now since I met Aenid and Faye and I am getting too attached to them. And it is terrifying. I am worrying because honestly, I would rather be their nanny than work for their father. And really, that is terrifying.

As I sat here on my desk working on my computer with my barefoot raised on a footstool to relieve it from 2=two hours walking around on heels, I heard someone clear his throat.

When I raised my head, a wide smile immediately broke on my face when I saw my old boss standing in front of my desk. And he is not alone because he has his wife with him.

How did I not notice their arrival?

"Mr. and Mrs. Vann!" I am truly delighted to see my old boss visit the office.

I walked around my table to greet them and Mrs. Vann immediately pulled me into a tight embrace like she always did.

"I'm so happy to see you. I hope my son is not giving you a headache." Mrs. Vann said.

'Uhm...nope! Definitely not. Because he is not giving me just a headache but a body ache.' I was tempted to reply with that but know that I should not.

Instead, I shook my head and said, "No, he is not."

"I hope he is not giving you an idea to quit the job because Mr. Gonzales fired his newly hired assistant and hinting to me again that he needed an assistant that was as efficient as you, " Mr. Vann said when it was his turn to hug me.

I don't know how it happens that these two people who hold the highest position in this company treat me with such kind regards. Like I am a friend. I know that some are raising a brow at me because of how my old boss and his wife treats me but I don't care.

I didn't answer my old boss's last statement and just gave him an awkward smile making the two of them look at each other.

"Oh! I am sorry. Please have a seat." Before they could ask me further questions about how their son treats me, I led them inside my boss's office to sit. Once they were seated, I excused myself to get them drinks.

I return with a tray on my hand with two cups of tea that I know Mr. and Mrs. Vann preferred. Good thing I still keep some of their preferred tea in my drawer. They are the only ones in this company that drink tea. Mostly preferred coffee or juice. Even my new boss prefers coffee.

Once I put down the cups of tea on the coffee table, I hugged the tray and stayed standing in front of them. "Mr. Vann is still in the meeting room but it will probably be nearing its end any minute. Do you want me to inform him of your presence?" I asked.

I saw Mr. Vann take a sip of the tea then put it back on the coffee table while Mrs. Vann placed her cup on the saucer that was on her other hand.

"Oh, you don't have to. We are not in a hurry. We just drop by to see how things are going. We can wait for him here." Mr. Vann replied and I just nodded my head.

"Why don't you sit down and chat with us for a while." Mrs. Vann motioned me to sit on the sofa behind me. I smiled and did what she said, wondering why they suddenly decided to visit. Was it a planned visit?
