Desiree's POV
I haven't been able to go to work yet since the volume of effort I did today was excessive, and I'm going to be incredibly late if I go to work. I'm sure my boss will be wondering why I didn't show up at this hour.
I grumbled and went back to sleep in my bed since I'm so tired.
Then my phone rings, it's George who is calling me right now.
"George-I mean, sir?"
"Yeah, it's me." he chuckles softly, "Do you know what day is today?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry sir, I was so tired-"
"No, come down right here. I'm here outside of your house and there's a young woman here staring at me so crazy." he said. I widen my eyes in shock and get up from my bed, I look for my slippers and run downstairs, I look at my sister who have a face of a crazy woman, her hair is messy and she is still wearing her so shorts clothes, I pulled her inside the house and take a blanket to cover her body. "Gosh, go back to your room."
"Oh tell me now, who is the bully."
I hissed at her and she went back to her room.
I go back outside to entertain my boss, I don't know why he is here but he is really here right now in front of me. He is wearing a white long sleeve, he looks so casual now. He walked towards me and stopped a few inches from me, he smiled. "Hi, what's the reason you don't get to work today? Do you know that I have a lot of clients today and my secretary is not showing up?" he said.
"Oh sorry about that sir, I was about to call you but you called me first." I said nervously but that was a lie. I was sleeping when he called me.
"I canceled my meeting, because I don't know what is my schedule, you are supposed to know what will be my schedule. Two presses are coming today, and I don't know if I just pick this one or the other press." he said, is he scolding me or lecturing me. I bite my lower lip and say, "I'm really sorry sir for being irresponsible, it won't happen again."
He sighed,
"Then what are the reasons?"
I think about the possibility of lying again to him, yeah I need to lie so that he will not fire me. Damn, This is my sister's fault or mine. I don't know. "Uh, my party held a party last night in this house. As you can see it's full of plastic and dirt in the area because there were a lot of people here. I can't sleep because of the loud music. That's why I have a headache now because of lack of sleep."
"You should have texted me about it so I could offer you a day off," he says, and clears his throat.
When my mom and dad arrived, their faces were both shocked when they saw how messy the house and the garden and also the swimming pool were.
"Oh my god, what happened here?" My mom asked me, she saw George beside me. "Hello dear…" she greeted my boss. "Oh come on, Desiree. You are inviting a guest like him in our house but our house is like this?" my mom said,
"Mom, you need to talk to Patricia about this crap, she is the one who threw a party last night." I said pointing my sister at the door, she is throwing up.
"Patricia!" My mom yelled at Patricia and my dad's face was shocked and he was not moving, just staring at his own daughter causing an embarrassing scene.
"Oh my god! Yuck!" I said and pulled George outside of my house, "I'm sorry about that, my sister is so crazy!"
He chuckled slowly and stared at me, "Get in…" he said as he opened the car for me. I do what he says and smile at him. "Where are we going? Anyway, I'm sorry for that. It's just my sister."
"Well, I guess you are not lying to me after all." he smiled at me then started to drive.
"Yeah…" I said laughing, I remembered now the kitten that I dropped in the vet.
"Sir, can you just drop me off at the vet?" I asked him a favor, I'm trying to smooth my voice so that he would agree with me. "Yeah sure, but why?"
"Because I have a cat."
"Ah, a cat?"
"Yeah a stray cat that I found in the middle of the road, he is injured and I wanted to make sure if he is okay." I responded to him with a smile.
He glanced at me, "What's his name?"
I began to think of my cat's name, if he is a boy then I should create a better and cute name for him. "His name is…xander." I laugh as I rememberAlexander's face. How will I react if I name the cat the same as his name? This is crazy.
"Nice name." he mumbled.
"Yeah that way…" I said while pointing at the big veterinary hospital, "Thank you so much, sir." I said before I exited the car, "Wait, I'm going with you. I wanna meet your cat." he said.
I parted my lips and just nodded my head, he was interested in animals? He is not the same as Alexander who looks like he has an allergy to touching some animals.
George and I entered the vet hospital where I met the doctor of my cat.
"Hi, you are back." he said and he looked at the clock again, "Oh it's 1 pm yet…"
"Yeah, sorry, I know it's 5 pm but I want to see him. Is it okay?" I asked the doctor, he stared at me and to George, "Yes, this way please."
"Thank you doctor." I said and we followed him, I heated some dogs crying and kitten noise. George just behind my back followed me, "Do you have a pet too?"
"Actually I own a zoo." he wink at me.
