Mi Náufrago

My New Reason

*Monday morning*
Luna's POV:

"Buongiorno a tutti. Come stai?" I told everyone as I walked into the office. "I brought some doughnuts, kolaches and homemade coffee for you."

"That sound so good right now." Carlo said and he stretched in the chair.

"You're the best boss." Sofia said as she helped me with everything I had in my hands.

"Want some updates boss?" Antonella asked after I had heard her yawn.

"Please. But before you do, I see that you guys worked hard too on the boxes. We only have 3 left huh?" I asked as I noticed the last three boxes in the floor.

"Yes ma'am!" Carlo said and handed me a thick folder.

"What's this?"

"I took some time to organize all the cases from youngest to oldest so you can scan through them and help us out with putting the information in the system." He said as I had just sat down and turned my computer on.

"Good, thank you. I finishes 3 boxes, did the summary and already put it in the system. While you guys finish up those 3 I'll get started on putting this info in. We now have... 4 hours to finish this, so let's get to work." I said and we all clapped to cheer ourselves up a bit and start working.

*2 hours later*

"Man! Carlo can you finish this box for me? I'm just so tired." Sofia whined out of the blue.

"Why are you making him do your job?" I asked without even looking at her as I continued typing.

"All of the boxes I've gotten are really old files. Like the oldest I've gotten is from 1920 and you know how bad the condition of the paper is and add to that the old faded ink. It's just difficult to read and connect everything with the pictures of the file." Sofia said.

"Are you using a magnifying glass to help you out?" Carlo asked.

"I have been but my neck and eyes burn from squinting and making my hump bigger just for me to be able to see." She said and we all laughed.

"Come on Sofy. We are almost done with this. Look, once this is finished I'll treat you guys for a homemade meal. What do you guys think?" I said as I stretched my arms and back.

"You'll cook for us?" Carlo asked.

"Do you even cook?" Antonella asked.

"Hey!" I shouted at her and we laughed again. "I do cook F.Y.I. and my food is quite delicious."

"We thought all you knew to do was make good coffee." Sofia said.

"Guys... I'm a mom in progress so don't forget that." I replied.

"Wait you have children?" Carlo asked.

"Uhhh yes?" Antonella replied.

"You didn't know?" Sofia said afterwards.

"Wow! I'm shocked boss. Mind if I ask if your husband helps you out?" Carlo said.

"I'm not married." I replied to him by showing my left hand's ring finger.

"Then your boyfriend helps you out with taking care of your baby." He said again.

"Uhh... It's complicated to explain. Let's just leave it as me being a single mother okay? Now go back to work." I said. It felt a bit strange talking to another guy about my personal issues. The girls only knew that I was a mom and my baby's name is Victor.

I guess I gave them all, a little bit more information about me thanks to Carlo.

"No way!" Antonella shouted and leaped out from her chair. In her hands she held a folder wide open.
