Melody POV

The next day which was Friday, I woke up early to prepare myself for work. I stared at my daughter's hope who was sleeping peacefully on the bed. We haven't talked for a while and I've missed her tiny voice.

As I turned on the doorknob, hope's tiny voice stopped me.

"Mummy!" She called and stood up from the bed." where are you going?" she asked.

I walked to her and bent down to her level. I touched her face and smiled gently at her." mummy is going to work baby"

"Can I come with you?"

"No baby. The place is for grownups but doesn't worry, I will take you there one day" I told her, and it seems to cheer her up. She smiled and hugged me.

"Bye baby," I waved at her and walked out of the room.

When I got to the office that morning, I was met with a surprise. A meeting had been fixed and I was unaware.

"You mean the boss didn't tell you anything?"Anita questioned as she looked surprised that I wasn't aware of the meeting.

" isn't it obvious that she is not of importance to the meeting?"Lindsey mocked as she came over to my desk.

I had no idea why she hated me. I thought people like her didn't exist but the way she looked down on me makes me realize that there were still some mean people who existed in the real world.

"What is your issue with me? You do not even know me."

"I know you enough to conclude that you do not belong here," Lindsey retorted.

"What is going on here?" Our boss's voice sounded as he walked toward us.

"Uh, uh," Anita scratched her head, bowed, and then left my office.

"Welcome, sir. I was discussing the meeting with her. I'll take my leave now," Lindsey bowed and also left my desk.

"Such a drama queen"

"Come to my office now!" My boss commanded and walked inside his office.

"What just happened?" I asked no one in particular.

Straightening my blue pattern skirts, I knocked and entered my boss's office. As usual, he was sitting on the couch with his eyes closed. His black hair which was now dyed blonde covered his left eye. He looked ravishing with his eyes closed. How could someone be this beautiful?

"Are you going to keep staring or what?" My boss's eye blinked and I could feel his brown eyes glaring at me."did you grow deaf in two seconds? I just asked you a question." he frowned as he continued looking at me.

I quickly averted my eyes and looked down.

"I'm sorry sir," I apologized. "You called for me sir," I informed him.
