Charles went after her and tried to stop her. “Where are you going?” he asked.
“I need to go to the office,” she said without looking back at him.
“No need to hurry. You’re already late.”
How could that be? Bella stopped and gazed at her watch.
Charles was right!
It was ten o’ clock! How could that be possible? Then it occurred to her that she had not heard the alarm when she woke up.
“You had better not go to work today. Better stay home and rest,” said Charles.
“Is it paid leave?”
“Certainly,” said Charles.
“Well, I guess I need a day or two to recover after what happened yesterday but I’m afraid my clients will not be happy.”
“If you go to work, I will not be happy,” said Charles.
“But if I stay, someone else will not be happy,” said Bella.
“Who are you talking about?”
Bell
