The following day as I got to office, I finally made up my mind to inform my boss about the pregnancy. I didn’t think it would be a good idea if he got to hear about it from nosy colleagues, who may start noticing the baby bump soon. I waited till lunch break before going to his office. I knocked gently and went in without waiting for his response. He was having lunch. The jollof rice and chicken looked inviting and it made me remember I hadn’t had breakfast. He beckoned on me to take a seat. “Good morning sir. I’m sorry to bother you; maybe I should come back. “There is no problem, come join me.” “Thank you for the offer, I’m ok.” I politely declined. “Are you sure?” he asked peeking at me. “Yes sir.” I assured him. “Then how may I help you? It is rare for you to come to my office.”
