Leaving Raymond, I went to see the M.D as was told. He was leafing through a magazine as he couldn’t detect my presence immediately.
“Good morning sir”, I said standing still with some expectations of being free from query.
“Maria you’re on suspension for one month”, he said as his eye blazed up with anger.
“Oh no! Please sir, it wasn’t my fault”, I grimaced.
“Come on Maria, we all live by principles and ethics in this enterprise. All workers here must pocess the element of right attitude to work”, he said as his eyes lit up.
“Yeah, I know, but sir I don’t wanna embark on any suspension”, I said faking a smile.
“Damn you. You don’t tryna object my decision. Now leave my office”, his eye sparkled with chagrin.
I wanted to stay longer to plead, but I sensed anger, the very moment he grabbed his telephone. I quickly made my way out of his office.
*Raymond’s Pov*
The door creaked open as I almost ran into hitting Maria.
“Hey love, please I’m sorry. It wasn’t intentional”, I said as my eyes was brimming with tears.
“Piss off Raymond”, she yelled.
“Oh! no, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I gonna buy you a new shoe. Since the coalition has disfigured this one”, I chuckled.
“Don’t fucken talk to me okay?”, she bawled as her eye blurnt with anger.
I wasn’t myself through out work that very day. What have I done to deserve this?
This is totally strange cause the Maria I know never acted like this before. We have been dating for over a year now and such gruesome attitude had never manifested in her life.
“Hi bro, sup why are you like this”, Andy grimaced.
“Gosh! Yeah its Maria. I don’t know why she’s acting strange these days”, I bawled.
“Oh! Come on, what’s actually the bone of contention this time?”, Andy inquired staring up at the ceiling.
“I ran into an accident of smaching here shoes and that’s all”, I elucidated.
“Oh! no, I can’t believe this that your fiancee would just ignore you because of that. Anyways that’s awful, just cheer up and see her after work today okay?”, Andy said beaming.
“Yeah bro, l will. Thanks for your concern”, I complimented with a lop sided grin.
My conscience was giving me some premonitions of this maybe a threat to break up. I can’t stand a chance of loosing my baby.
