I didn’t report to work on Monday. We had to bring Alden to the hospital. I called Mr. Nicholson that I can’t report to work. For the last three years, I have not taken any leave of absence. I only had it once when Alden had the accident. “Good morning, Mr. Nicholson.” I greeted him formally. “Good morning, Alya? How are you doing? How was your weekend with the family?” He asked cheerfully. Mr. Nicholson is such a nice person. No wonder his employees really stick with him. He treats everyone fairly. He also offers great compensation. I can’t just readily leave his company for he has been a great boss. “It was good Mr. Nicholson although something came up. That’s why I contacted you.” I took a deep breath. It feels like a deja vu. I had this kind of conversation with Mr. Nicholson before
