“Hey. You guys are still around?” I blurted the first words that came to my head as I stepped aside for them to come in and I was thankful to God that my voice didn’t quiver like it normally would have. 

“Yeah, we are putting in our best in the project the boss asked us to work on. Who doesn’t want to impress the new boss?” One of them answered as she pressed the button to the floor they were going. 

Oh my God. We’re all going to the last floor. Now there was no hope of being alone again. More reason why I really had to leave here. 

The rest of them gave nuanced responses that I couldn’t even keep 

track of. 

Then one of them frowned, “I’m surprised you’re still here though. Your usually leave earlier than this.” 

Oh. I usually leave early to pick my daughter in school but now she’s stuck in a hospital bed and is mad at me because she doesn’t have a

“Are you alright?” Her brows pulled down in concern. “Your eyes are swollen.” 

“Really?” My brows furrowed deeply as I lightly touched my cheeks. 

She nodded. 

“I didn’t even realize.” I sighed, “Though I’d admit that I’ve been feeling pretty tired lately.” 

“Aww,” she cooed and placed her hand on my shoulder. “Take care of yourself, okay? I’m sure the boss would grant you leave if you apply.”
