THE ROMANTIC OFFICE SAGA : PART 8

THE ROMANTIC OFFICE SAGA: PART 8
I turned back and to my horror, my boss stood there at the door listening to our entire conversation with the nurse. I excused myself and turned to walk outside. “Remember you two still have a case with me in my office”. I nearly told her to go to hell. Sally has already taken me through all this and all she was thinking was her damn job while am in crisis.
-------------------
Sam took us back home with his car and Sally simply walked back to my house and slept like a baby without uttering a word to me.
***********
Come Monday morning. We did not go straight to the boss’ office. I waited for her to call us but she did not, at least during the day. Sally our tea girl continued serving us tea as if nothing happened, but each time she passed by me she would give me that sheepish smile, at one time I felt like kissing her as she passed by me. That day, she passed by my office more time than usual.
In the evening, almost time to leave boss sent an email telling me to see her at exactly 5 pm.
When I got there, I found Sally at the door, as if she too was told to come. “Come in both of you”, boss said and we got in, got seated on the office coach facing her. She stopped what she was doing and faced us.
“I want to tell both of you that what you did was very wrong, and if you both read the company policies, you are all liable for dismissal.”, she said nodding suggestively at us. We remained silent waiting for her judgement. “However, I will deal with both of you individually according to your individual ranks in the company, so, Sally, go home I will see you later”, boss said with finality of a judge. She stood up silently and left saying, “thank you madam”.
I was left there alone, with my boss. She turned to me as if she was going to dismiss me right there and then. I wondered what she is about to say since she took off her glasses and looked at me long enough to make me feel so uneasy, as if sizing me. I began sweating. I could not afford to be dismissed at this time since times were harsh.
“Rrrriiiiiiiing rrriiiiiing” her cell phone rang, she just pushed a button sending it to silence mode.
“Tony, I know you as a very hard working young man it is unfortunate you got yourself into this, however, I forgive you on one condition which you must agree or get dismissed”. I gladly asked her, “What condition, Madam?” I asked, not wanting to look at her.
She stood up and to my surprise, she came and sat on the same coach with me, it was a 3 seater but it felt so small for me despite being at one end and her the other. She wore a tight mini skirt with a slit half way her chocolate thighs, but I tried so hard not to ogle at her. She smiled, for once as if trying to put me at ease but I was so tensed I wished this was a dream.
She just sat there, staring at me with some prolonged hard look as if waiting for some signal, or reading my body language.
-------------------
“Do you live where I saw you on Friday, that is are you Sam’s neighbor?”, She asked. “Yes, Sam is my neighbor.”
“For how long have you been neighbors?” She asked again. “For close to 3 years”, could be more but I was too tensed to even remember.
“Are you two close, as in friends or just neighbors?” She asked. At this point, I decided to lie and watch her reaction. “Yes, we are good friends and neighbors too. Sam is a good man”. After saying he is a good man, she brightened, breathed out with a heavy sigh of relief.
“Now I want to give you an assignment which you must do for me. It is about Sam.” At that instant, I looked at her straight in the face, puzzled at her request. I could tell she was so serious about it. Whatever she wanted me to do, seemed like a matter of life and death, or just too damn serious. Her statement was a mix of begging and commanding.
“But before I proceed to tell you what I want you to do, promise it will be a secret between me and you.” At this point, I could even promise her heaven so long as I retain my job. “I promise”. She replied, “Good, I can count on you. Your case is dismissed. Just make sure never to do that again in the office or any other work premises. Now, go, I will tell you tomorrow what I want you to do”. She said, standing up and returning to her usual office chair. I just stood up, said an honest, “thank you madam”, without looking at her and disappeared into the darkness.
It was already late evening, around 8 pm. I headed straight to the gate and bid gate man good bye.
As I began walking, something, or someone hit me with some pebbles. On turning back, I could see no one except the watchman seated at the gate. I dismissed it and began walking only to be hit by now a larger object, not sure what but enough to make me feel some pain in the back. At that instance, I turned around furiously ready to confront whoever or whatever was playing games with me in this darkness only to come face to face with Sally smiling at me holding a dry stick with her left hand and her handbag with her right hand.
