After rounding up with my duties for the day, I had to go and see Maria just to ensure that all was well between the both of us.
“Hi love, how are you doing?”, I asked with a grimace.
“Yeah, am not good at all.” she said as her eye blurnt with anger.
“Come on, why getting annoyed? What the hell is wrong?”, I inquired.
“Hmmm, the M.D has suspended me. I tried embelishing my excuses but he ended up paying deaf ears”, she said as her facial expression tends to erupt like that of a volcanic eruption.
“Sorry love, but l wanted to ask you about this in the foyer, you flared up and made me feel devastated”, I said staring into her eye.
“Yeah, I’m sorry about that. I was carried away by the tension of getting suspended”, she said falling into my arms as I pecked on her hair passionately.
I was paralyzed with happiness as the spirit of guiltiness fled from me.
I wish I could help her get back to work, but our M.D is strict with his actions and very furious.
We broke the hug as I stared at her passionately.
“Yeah, that reminds me. Why were you on a different cab to work today?”, I said caressing her hair which rested on my shoulder.
“My driver fucken called me this morning and said the cab is running at fault”, Maria said staring up the ceiling.
“Damn! So has he gotten the cab fixed?”.
“Yeah, after requesting for part payment of his salary”, Maria said beaming.
“Oh! well, that’s not bad at all. After all, he was demanding for his salary to get the cab fixed not yours”, I said with a giggle.
“No, I wanna get a new cab man, but Elvis is such an accomplished one”, Maria chuckled.
“Gosh! Why did you wanna hire a new cab man?”, I asked with a lop sided grin.
“Just that, he is been giving me so much headache and sometimes he makes me flare up at him”, she admitted.
“I don’t see anything wrong with that. Just take it lightly with him”, I consoled and she widened her eyeball in amazement.
