Tessa
“How are you feeling being at work after a long time, Tess?”
Adrian asked me. We concluded a three hours long meeting with a new energy.
“Yes, I do feel good but at the same time I feel I have missed a lot in my continuous absence. I feel it’s unfair that my team is working tirelessly while I sit at home and give them instructions.” I replied.
“Tessa, it’s okay. You were not in a condition to work for long hours and maternity leave is sanctioned to all my married female employees.” He said.
I shook my head.
“No, Adrian, I feel like a failed boss so I want you to replace me with someone capable and fully devoted person for this position. Trust me, I will support it.” I confessed.
He turned so we were standing face to face.
“Tessa, I understand your dilemma and trust me I know what I am doing and, in my eyes, you are the right person for the position. It is your dream. Someone else can’t do it in your place.” He tried to explain it to me.
I looked down at the sketches scattered on the table. They were created by me and my team together. We discussed everything, even when I was only available through video conferencing.

“It’s okay, I can understand. We can hang out some other time. I really miss our days as friends.” He said.
“Thanks. I will spare time for us to hang out once Logan returns home. I also want a change of air.” I said so he’d feel better
“Are you going home or to the hospital?” He asked.
“I’ll go home because Lena is alone for hours.” I replied and collected my stuffs to prepare myself to go home.
“Tessa, don’t get me wrong but did you do the right thing by telling Felix about Raelynn and Riccardo?” He raised a subject that I didn’t expect him to raise.
“Felix wants good for Logan so I thought telling him better than telling his family.”
“His family is unbelievable and I think they deserved a daughter–in–law like Raleynn, their perfect match.” Adrian joked but I
didn’t like it.
“Hey, you’re talking about my husband here.” I gave him a pointed look while he opened the car door for me.
“Sorry but it’s true.” He raised his hands in surrender motion.
I smacked him and slipped on the backseat of my car and he placed my heavy folders on the empty space.
“See you soon, Tess.‘ He said and closed the door.
The driver drove the car out of the parking lot.
“Ma’am, shall I drive to the hospital or to the residence?” He asked me.
