APOLOGY

It felt like eons later instead of hours, when Lisa poked her head tentatively into the office announcing her presence, drawing Williams’ attention out of the very consuming files on his desk.

"Sorry to bother you sir, I knocked but you didn’t respond. I wanted to remind you about lunch", she said shuffling her feet like she was unsure if he wanted her to pull him away from the pile of work on his desk, which by the way he was very pleased with at the moment. 

“You have impeccable timing Lisa, I was actually famished”,Williams replied, “so I would leave soon to go grab lunch, make sure you do same”, he told Lisa. 

“Don't want you collapsing under all the weight of the work you do here which I sincerely appreciate, if I haven't told you that yet”, Williams said.

Lisa smiled, and it warmed his heart as always, because frankly he loved seeing her smile, it was the purest form of intoxication there was to him. 

There was always sincerity in her eyes which told you that it wasn’t forced, and she genuinely appreciated a compliment. Not to be creep or anything, he just loved watching her very closely, especially when she wasn’t aware he was doing it.

Lisa spoke up, “by the way sir, before I forgot to tell you, and have my name imprinted in your sisters’ black books for negligence, Rachael called and said to remind you about dinner plans today”. 

“She also said to tell you not to be late, and keep her waiting like the last time, or else there will be hell to pay”, she said.

I groaned inwardly, and kicked myself in the gut for actually forgetting I made dinner plans with my very bossy sister. 

"Okay Lisa, thank you for reminding me, and saving my ass from getting kicked by my sister, I would just round up for the day, and get dinner with Rachael instead", I informed Lisa.

She turned to leave, giving me a full mouth watering view of her backside that was amply endowed with curvy asset. 

Williams licked his lips in appreciation and punched himself at the same, time remembering she was off limits, and an employee which went against his rules when it come to personal affairs.

"Lisa wait”, he told her, clearing his throat. “I want to sincerely apologize for my outburst this morning”, he told her.

“It was very unprofessional and uncalled for, I just lost it for a minute”, he told her. 

“Franca and I are no longer together, but it was obvious she cannot take a hint, and can’t seem to get over spilled milk; she has devised constructive ways to reach out to me, and it was irritating as hell. He was seriously pissed at her latest plot to show her face at the office”, Williams explained.

"Sir, that was way too much information, I would have preferred it better if it had ended with the apology part, and I don't keep grudges especially not with my boss", Lisa replied.

“You really had nothing to apologize for”, Lisa said. “Some days are just plain crazy, so I understand if you get edgy sometimes sir”, she concluded in one breath, feigning indifference though I could see she was trying to repress a smile that was trying to break free. It made Williams feel really glad he apologized.

“Okay Lisa, thank you for accepting my apologies, and I promise not to blow off like that again”, Williams said to her.

“ I would love to finish up with today's work before I go grab dinner with my sister; Before she made good on her threats and murdered me, hanging my head on a pike for all to see”, Williams said to her with a poker face.

The mortified expression on Lisa’s face had Williams doubling over with laughter. He laughed uncontrollably, and was straining and wheezing, as he tried to explain it was just a joke. Lisa still seemed very unconvinced as she reluctantly left the office, giving him time to gather himself, and finish up for the day. 

He had this nagging feeling she would be calling him later that night to make sure he got home with his head intact.

He watched her leave in a hurry, scurrying out as fast as she could before he dropped another unbelievable bomb on her heart.

She was really buying into his joke, and didn’t seem to realize that his sister loved him too much to actually follow through on her threats.

He watched her swinging behind, and silently cursed when his pants grew twice it’s size, becoming too tight.

It was going to be a hard task getting his john to calm it’s proud head, Lisa was too engraved in his mind for that to happen soonest.

Damn, She was beautiful.
