The weekend went by swiftly, now it was Monday morning. She had made sure she set her alarm to 6 am, making sure she woke early so she wouldn't be late to work, she had dropped auroroa off at school earlier, so here she is in front of his office waiting for him to arrive, she was very nervous but she failed to show it. She kept on moving from one feet to another.
She heard someone cough behind her, she looked back briskly to see who it was that caught her attention.
"Good morning Sir", she answered politely, Derek just nodded his head in response to her greetings. "Follow me, I'll show you your office and brief you on what it is you're supposed to do".
Ella proceeded behind him slowly, Derek went to the office next to his and entered, "this is your office, I need you to arrange the files on the shelf alphabetically, and when you're done, come into my office and I'll let you know what next to do". "Okay Sir" Ella replied softly. Derek sat on his chair swirling it around deep in thought of ways to make her come clean to him. He heard a tap on his desk which brought him out of his cogitation, "yes, sorry I was lost, did you say something, yes sir, I already arranged the flies as you asked me to, is there any other thing I'm supposed to do?".
Ella asked gently studying his face, she hasn't really studied his face this closely since she has seen him, he looks more handsome and mature than he was three years ago, he has beards, a little around his chin upward, how she longs to rub her fingers through it and profess her love for him. "Take this, it consists of my schedule for the next two weeks, you should go through it and let me know when my next meeting is and other stuff". She collected the tab from him and left his office quietly, getting to her office she slumped on her chair suddenly, obviously tired from the arranging of files, setting the tab in the table, she checked her watch for the time, seeing that it was some minutes after four, she shot up suddenly and rushed into Derek's office without even knocking.
Startled by the sudden opening of his door Derek looked up gently away from his document to see a heaving Ella, raising a questioning brow at her as to why she barged into the office suddenly. Getting the hint of him looking at her with irritation, she regained her posture immediately. "Sorry sir for barging in like that unannounced, I would like to take my leave now , is that okay with you?" She asked careful not to aggravate him, he checked his time
and saw that it was way after four, he stood up and packed his documents. "Let's go, I'll drop you off on the way, I'm not going home sir", "where are you going to then" he asked her looking at her suspiciously, Ella felt uneasy under his scrutinizing gaze. "Uhhmmm, I'm going to pick up Aurora from school" she replied nervously, "okay, we'll go and pick her then".
