Fifty five

CHAPTER 55

GLENN

"What?"

"Santiago? "

I couldn't process my thoughts for a minute, but the words kept going through her words again, what could it be that he wanted.

Had he gotten back his memories…

"Hello?" The voice came again, it was only then I realized I was still yet to give a reply.

" Oh, sorry." I apologized. "I'd try to be there, but I am still a bit busy right now."

"He is getting discharged this evening, you could as well make it here before he leaves. "

I nod my head, "Alright. " I rolled my eyes.

Already, Ann was signaling to me wanting to know what was going on or at least that was what I thought till I turned and came face to face with my boss.

Apparently, she had been trying to tell me he had walked in and I had been too dumbass stupid to get whatever she was trying to say, at that moment, I was filled with a different type of fear.

I watched as his gaze settled in on me, at that moment I could see his gaze filled with disdain.

"I—"

"Save it, how do you explain making a personal call while on duty that is totally unprofessional."

His gaze burned into my cheek. “I was just… The call came in impromptu. "

" And you thought the best place to get this call is here. " He ran his hands through his hair frustrated.

I wasn’t sure how I recognized It but I could tell that I was totally in deep shit, I needed no one to tell me that .

He wasn’t someone to sit around giving second chances and yet he had given me like — Ten or so.

"I will deal with you later." He walked out.

Soon, as he was out I let out a breath and inhaled one of fresher air.

It was as though a heavy weight had been lifted away from my shoulders.

Ann walked quickly to where I was. "That was a close one." She grasped my shoulder.

"I had been trying to tell you he was there, what were you thinking?"

All that while I was still trying to get my breath, I leaned on the table for support.

"Trust me , I don't know."

"What was this all about?"she asked.

By now I knew she was talking about something entirely different. She was no longer talking about the fact that i might lose my job very soon.

" The call? " I asked just to be sure.

"yeah, I am curious tell me what it was about. "

I hesitated for a minute not wanting to speak, I was feeling frustrated already at this point . One part of my mind was wondering how I could fit into all of this.

"Glenn." She called me just to let me know she was still waiting.

"Santiago asked to speak with me."

She gasped, I could tell she was surprised as I was about the recent situation.

"That is unexpected." She mutters when she finally found her voice.

Some part of my mind was screaming right at her, demanding that somehow in my head I'd have a way out of these maze.

"I wasn't expecting this, I don't even know if I am ready to face him."

I admitted my fear's, it had exactly been why I had been this scared, nit knowing if truly I wanted to see him. Not knowing what he would say.

If there was anyone that would totally understand this state I was in, it was most definitely her.

As her gaze settled in on me I could see every bit of her fears too in them.

"What do I feel this is about to get so much worsen?"

"No , don't say that… why would you think the situation wouldn't get better? " He asked.

" I don't know, I am just so Confused. "

I sighed after speaking. The entire room and this Silence almost like you could hear a pin drop.

Soon, I was starting to feel my soul was being enclosed in all of this so much that I could feel it trying to burst out.

"What are you going to do?" She asked .

It was a question I hadn't even tried to consider one that my heart filled with… Nothing!

"To be honest, I have no idea. I am just ." I sighed.

If there was anything I so much hated, it was making decisions on my own and this very much looked like one of them.

Nausea swirled in my belly, and without even thinking too deeply about it I pressed a hand to my stomach, I could definitely feel the butterflies flipping round Inside of me, and tried to breathe through it.

Still they swayed in it, they swayed as though my mind was a kind of place for them to me.

Ann threw her hands around me.“You are going to be fine. " For some reason I tried to believe what she was saying and the fact that it was best I accepted it.

It felt like she was squeezing the life out of me, as she embraced me enough that i felt that might as well just suffocate.

“For goodness’ sake, Ann, you are going to choke me to death with that hug. "

I commented.

My word's forced a smile from her as we stared at ourselves for a brief second.

"You know, I really do appreciate your care all this while."

"Well what more can I do?"

"Back to your lover —"

" He is not my lover. " I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever, back to him what are you going to do? "

" Honestly, I don't know… I am about to lose my job too, don't you think I should be worried about that more. "

Ann hopped from her the counter where sher had been sitting, and I met her

her midway —

“You will be fine, I know Boss." She grimaced and rubbed my back.

There was a part of me that just wanted to know, that just wanted to be sure that all of this would end up good.

My heart danced at the the thought of that

as let out an unamused breath, but didn’t say another word.

My stomach tightened with the need to

assure myself that perhaps the call was for a good reason, as it did I felt an itch in. my throat but down the words.

"Alright, I would." I said, sighing. "I would go see him. "
