"No!"
Mr. Woods echoed inside his office.
I am keeping my eyes in the floor.
For sure this is so frustrating for Jessie.
"You've been giving me a headache Jessie. For fucking sake! It's been almost month since I gave you this task! Are you dumb or something?" Mr. Woods shouted and I could not help but to walk near them.
"Mr. Woods." I uttered as I tried to catch his attention.
"And you, Kellah. I've been calling the telephone in your office, you are not answering! What are you doing in Jessie's table? Are you helping her out? Are you a hero?" He ask with so much anger on his face.
I heave a sigh.
"Sir, that's not it. Please calm down. I am just helping her because I know the files is needed-"
"Did I told you to do it? Huh? That's not your responsibility! I paid her to do what she supposed to do, and you, you are supposed to stay in your table and mind your own business." He exclaimed and I really can't
"Come on Mr. Woods. Actually, we should not practice it! It should come out naturally." I exclaimed while moving my hands aggressively in front of him.It is already lunch and yesterday it is me who offered him a help about his personality.Actually it was all of a sudden but he really needed it for so long."Nah, I give up. I give up now!" He uttered while bringing his palms in the air as a sign that he is already giving up."Like how can I smile without reasons?" He ask and I immediately rolled my eyes."That's right! That is why I am telling you that it should come out naturally." I explained, losing my patience for him. ''Okay, try thinking something or moments in your life that is always making you smile whenever you remember it." I added so that this will work already.He rolled his eyes as he tried looking away.We are practicing or I am convincing him to smile more often. Smiles describe you as a person. People always received
''I just can't believe he did that." Said the other employees.I heard them keep whispering a lot of things. All of them are now slowly disappearing in the meeting room when we announce that the meeting is already done.Mr. Woods look so done behind me. I glanced at him and I don't know how to describe his reaction."How was it?" I ask and he did not reply.He looks worrying about something. I don't know what he is thinking."What's wrong? You did great today." I uttered and he just brushed his hair using his finger." They still look disappointed on me. They look like I did something wrong." He uttered with so much frustration on his face."No, you are trying and if they find it not enough then the problem isn't from you anymore." I said so that he can stop thinking already.He stared at me. He did not move. "Is that the thing that is making you anxious right now?" I ask.I thought he will get better after
Mr. Woods already go back in out seats. We already have the foods he ordered. "We will ask for extra rice after this." I laughed as I grab his fingers so that I can hold it. He stiffened about what I did. "Okay let us pray," I smiled and he confusely stared at me but nodded at the end. After we prayed we immediately started eating. "I am planning to go somewhere tomorrow. I don't have appointments yet so I am trying to treasure my time." He uttered after a few minutes of eating. "Yes, that is right, Sir. That is a nice idea. Hays, just like what I said It is really stressful to be so rich like you. I hope you will take a rest." I smiled. "Tss, so are you not dreaming to be rich, huh?" He ask while chewing his food. "Well, maybe before I wanted to be a millionaire but seeing how stressful people who have a lot of money, I doubt it if I still want it. Being with my father happily is already enough for me." I answered while appreciating how yummy their friend chicken is. It was so
The mass went smoothly. The topic is kind of fun because it tackles about God being our number one savior. The wall that we can lean on. A shoulder we can always have to take a nap whenever we are tired. God is everything. Dad is beside me listening to the mass thoroughly. Mr. Woods is in my left side and I did not notice him that much since I am also listening to the Pastor. I am not sure if Mr. Woods already saw his sister but maybe they can talk after the mass. When the mass already finished people immediately greeted each other for those who are friends and close already. "So are you going home now, Sir? It is good that we all started our day with the words of God. Take care. " Dad uttered while I am pushing his wheelchair. The mass went smoothly. The topic is kind of fun because it tackles about God being our number one savior. The wall that we can lean on. A shoulder we can always have to take a nap whenever we are tired. God is everything.

"Wow your house looks cute. It is giving me the vibe of the church. It is kind of peaceful here. "Yeah, Kellah planted all the flowers here in front, ija. We used to go garden with her mom before." Dad uttered while Mr. Woods is helping me putting my father in the wheelchair. I am indeed bothering them too much. "Where is your wife? Kellah's Mom?" Melden ask curiously. "Melden, you are asking too much now." Mr. Woods stop her. "Nah, my mom is already in heaven. She is happy now." I answered and smiled. "I'm sorry, I didn't know it. I bet she is pretty like you. " "Yes, she is. " Dad uttered while smiling so wide, it is the love of his life we are talking about here, my mom. "If you want it to be tastier then you should put a lot of egg in it." I explained while Melden is watching me. Mr. Woods is also wearing an apron just like me because her sister told him to help me preparing the ingredients and I almost laugh because of how the way he always obey her sister like he is not a
"Why are peeking inside? I just bought a coffee outside, here." Mr. Woods uttered before putting a cup of coffee in my table."Ah-eh, uhm thank you." I uttered while my brows is furrowing."I am just checking if you are inside." I added and smiled awkwardly."So? Uhm, can you check my appointments today?" He ask while smirking."Ah uh, uhm sure. Of course." I answered and immediately check it in the computer aggressively."Don't be nervous, I am not rushing you." He said while still watching me.Why is he here anyway? I can just send it to his email or usually I am just giving him some hand outs."Uhm, found it. I will just send it to your email or I will give you a hard copy of this." I smiled so that he will leave already because his presence is giving me something I can't explain."Nah, I will wait for it now. I will just stand here." He reasoned out and I don't know what to do now."You can read it. I will listen."
Aren't you going to buy yours too "I ask while bringing all the paper bags because of the stuffs Mr. Woods bought for me."I ordered mine already online. No worries. " He answered as he glanced at me.His gazes darted to the paper bag and he immediately take it from me so that he can hold it instead."It's already eleven thirty. Let's just find a restaurant here. "Mr. Woods added and just like what he said we decided to find a restaurant inside the mall where we can eat.I keep on following Mr. Woods because he walks a little bit fast. Of course he is tall and I am too short compared to him."Come on, stop walking so fast." Icomplained and mumbling behind him."Tsk," He uttered as he grab my wrist and keep pulling me wherever he go. My eyes widened. Why is he doing these things always all of a sudden.He will take care of his life. He will take care of what he does. I was always nervous about him. It's like he's re
"Really? Did he agree with you? Will he come?" Miss Jessie's eyes widened at me when I told her that Mr Woods would join us in their celebration. "Why? What's up? I mean, he'd better go with us. So that everyone can get closer to each other." I said happily. "Yeah, I know. But Mr. Woods is not the type who comes with us whenever we invite. At least once he has not come with us. Before, someone tried to invite him but he immediately refused." Miss Jessie explained again. I blinked. I didn't know that Mr. Woods was really that distant from all his staff here. After that scene I just finished a few to finish on my desk. It was five o'clock when Miss Jessie came to my table. "What, come on? The others are already in Mark's house, the others are already on the ground floor." He said and gestured to me. "Ah is that so? I'm out again. I'll just call Mr. Woods, he said he'll come with us." I explained more and it was appropriate to enter Mr. Woods' office but Miss Jessie stopped me immediate
