“Well… Am yet,” he cuts to me short “ Yet to what?” “ Very slow, very slow.” Richard stares and laughs at my perplexed look. “Go for it,” he clearly suggested with an affirmative tone which makes me slightly uncomfortable but a fact without doubt.

A knock on the door, a slight opening, “Speak of an angel” she walks straight up to my desk. Hommie is eyeing me the whole damn time but I turn a blind eye. “Hey gentlemen, please help me sign right here,” She requests politely.

“What’s that for?” Richard asks. He then gives me that weird stare of what the fuck are you waiting for!

“Oh, the extra time policy for the rest of the month that was discussed in the previous meeting.” “If you agree then your signature will be required,” she states. “Do we have a choice!” “Sorry I apologise on his behalf, he can be a pain at times.” I speak with consideration.

After inking our affirmation, she picks her paper and heads to the door. “Excuse me Jackie, Do you have a minute.” I ask and yes my adrenaline floods. She turns, “sure”.
