Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 19
SILVER
…. On Monday …
I got to the office very early, not as usual but it felt great. I woke up early and I saw Salomeh helped with the house chores already.
She is so sweet, I hate to remember what happened to her. Such a pity, it shouldn’t be her.
“Hey Babe” Tasha said smiling.
“Tasha. You are just coming?” I asked in awe.
” Surprising right?” She asked and I nodded.
” Of course. You are always the first to get to the office. What happened?” I asked as she sat at her desk.
” Some issues.” She said and I furrowed my brows.
” You wish to share?” I asked and she shook her head.
” Not at all. I don’t want you feeling bad.” She said and I furrowed my brows again.
“What are you talking about?” I asked looking d–n serious this time around.
“Fine I will tell you.” She said sighing and I nodded.
” Go on.” I said folding my hands and staring at her.
“I felt weak as at this morning, so I had to get to the clinic, and I was told it’s the baby.” She said.
” Oh.” I said.
” I didn’t want to talk another it because of the way you acted the day I talked about the pregnancy and the rest. I don’t want you thinking again.” She said placing her Hand on mine and I smiled.
“Thank you Tasha.” I said and she smiled.
” So how is Luke?” She asked and I smiled switching on my PC.
“Good.” I replied as our Pcs began to boot.
” Tasha I forgot to tell you that my sister is around.” I said and she look back.
” The one you love talking about? Salomeh?” She asked and I nodded smiling.
” So you still remember her name hun?” I said and she laughed.
” Of course. Anything you tell me always sticks to my head.” She said.
” Thanks friend.” I replied.
“So what’s up? She is here for a job or what?” She asked punching her password into the PC.
“Her house got burnt.” I said and she looked back abruptly.
” What? Am so sorry.” She said in shock and I nodded smiling.
“I felt the same way too when she called and was crying on phone.” I said and she shook her head in pity.
“How is she?” She asked.
“Fine. At least, she has me to fall back on.” I said and she nodded.
” You are a really nice person, letting her stay in your house.” She said and I smiled.
” Who won’t do that for her sister?” I asked.
” Not everyone can bring their sisters into their home. Most especially the married ones. They are always scared of something..” she said.
” Don’t even go there. That can never happen, Salomeh will never do that. She loves our Communion and she always Prays for hers not mine.” I said confidently.
” I ain’t saying she would do something like that. Was just talking generally.” She said and I smiled.
“I totally understand you Tasha. Thanks for watching out for me.” I said and she smiled.
” You are always welcomed friend.” She replied and I smiled.
” Mrs Progusten, the manager seeks your attention.” My junior colleague said to me.
“John I told you not to call me that again. I am Silver.” I said standing up and he smiled.
” My bad.” He replied walking away.
“Good luck friend.” Tasha said and I winked moving out of the office to the Manager’s.
I knocked on it twice before opening the door and walking in. I saw him sitting by his desk. He had a paper in his hand and his recommend spectacles on.
“Sir.” I said as I stood in front of him.
” Silver.” He called happily.
“Sir.” I responded wondering why he looked so happy.
“There is great news. Sit.” He said pointing to the chair. I sat on the chair and looked at him.
“I told you the other day that there is a deal coming right?” He asked and I nodded.
” Yes sir. I remember quite well sir.” I replied grinning.
” Here.” He said Passing me the paper that was with him. I collected it and began to read.
“A trip to Poland? For arts?” I asked happily.
“Yes. And I would be needing an assistant. I kept thinking of who to chose and I saw you are my very best worker so you would be going with me. It’s just for a month.” He said and I nodded happily.
“Sure, this is a dream come true for me sir. You will never regret choosing me.” I said happily.
“I am happy you agreed to it. Your salary would be increased drastically and this would give you more opportunities to explore arts.” He said and I nodded.
” Very well sir.” I replied .
“We leave this weekend. Be prepared, plan yourself at home so as to avoid troubles since it’s coming a bit late.” He said and I nodded.
” Not to worry Sir. Everything is under control.” I said and he smiled.
” That will be all for now. You can get back to work.” He said and I nodded.
” Thank you sir.” I said heading outside the office.
This is so amazing, I know it would be hard for Luke to release me. I just have to make him understand that this is so important to me. Thank God Salomeh is around. They won’t feel so bored when I am gone.
