HAILEY's POV
"I am sorry. " Tim said as He
rounded the table and came right in
front of me.
"Huh ? why are you apologizing?,
It should be me who should apologized.
I let her in, even though you clearly
told me not to. "
" No. It's alright you..you don't have
to apologize. How is you head? Does
it hurt ?"
" No. I am fine. " Liar. it's hurting like
bitch.
" Take a day off. "
"seriously?" I beamed, but I tried to cover it."
"Go home. Take some rest. Call me if
you need something."
I nodded and left the office.
Gathering my things I left.
As soon as I reached home I found
Cassandra in the kitchen, making a
coffee.
"Hailey," dear, you are home early.
Oh my god, what happened to your
head ? did you fall somewhere?
Does it hurt too much ?" she asked
curiosity.
"I am fine. Long story--short My
boss told me not to let anyone in the
office, but there was a woman
who forced me to let her in; when I
did not allow her,'' She pushed me and I
fell and hit my head. I am just feeling
a little dizzy so I am just going to rest
for a while. Don't worry yourself much."
"Oh dear, tell me who the boss is, I will
talk to him."
"Cassandra it's fine. I am alright and
besides even on working day he was
kind enough to give me a day off.
"okay. so how about you go and change
something comfortable and I'll
make something for you to eat and
you can tell me more about yourself.
sounds good ?"
"Yeah. that definitely sounds good."
"Go ahead, I'll make some
Sandwiches for you. "
Yes, Cassandra is definitely a mom
anyone want would . I wonder if
she have a kid or not.
I walked in the bathroom shrugged out of my office
cloths and took a shower. I wore my
pajama shorts with the matching
T-shirt headed out where Cassandra
almost finished making sandwiches.
I try help
her with the dishes she shoved the
plate of sandwiches in my hand and
Hailey me away.
I walked out to the sofa with her
behind me.
"So tell me Hailey, where do you Work ?"
The Black corporation and
limited. My boss his name is Timothy
and his is really kind. I mean
people just talk nonsense, He never
disrespected me and today he even
apologized, don't tell this to anyone"
I said as I giggled.
You work there ? " she asked
surprised and visibly paled.
"Yes. Why do you know him ?"
"Umm..yeah just heard about him.
He is quite popular isn't it. "
" yes, that He is. I work as his
personal assistant. The work is tiring
but the payment is worth it."
"okay. so tell me about your family. "
I visibly cringed at the Word family.
"Umm..there is nothing much
about my family. I spent a lot of time
with my grandparents, they are the
amazing people to come across. They
love me more than anything else. I
stayed with them until high school
and then I left them to complete my
university study. Just a year ago my
grandfather passed away due to a
heart attack."
"Oh I am sorry to hear that."
"It's alright. My parents usually go
away for meeting's and conferences
so I haven't spent much time with
them. I lived in Boston with my
grandparents then I came here to
complete my studies and that's all." what about your grandmother?
"She live in Boston, she haven't
talked to anyone since grandpa
died."
"ohh. Do you have any siblings?"
"yes. I have an elder brother."
" Do you miss your family ?" I was
glad she did not ask me anything
more about them.
"yeah sometimes. " As the
Conversation went on from my
family to my friends to my dreams
and my ambitions I finished my
sandwich and headed back to take
a nap. But taking to her indeed feels
relaxing. I am so jealous of her son or daughter if she has one.

TIMOTHY's POV
After giving Hailey a day off I
complete going through the files
and headed to the restaurant for the
lunch meeting.
I made an agreement with Mr.
Hupkins and headed back to the
office, I am so angry today. Things
really did not go as I expected it to,
I wanted to punish Hailey so bad
one moment and the next I was
seeing her head wrapped in an ugly
bandage and all this was because of
that b***h of a lady Sofia. After
returning to the office I started to
Complete the remaining files. It was
already night when I complete my
work. Signing up I thought to pay
a visit to her place and apologize
properly maybe because it was all
about me and she got hurt. On the
way I got bouquet of Roses for her
as an apology It feels cliché but if
that makes her smile then so be it.
I walked to her apartment and knocked twice. There was some moment on
the other side then I heard ad the
lock click.
"Hey, I am so sorry about morn--" As
I saw who was on the door the air
was knocked out of my lungs.
"You!" My eyes remained wide open
as I saw her.
Soon Hailey came out in her pajama
shorts and matching T-shirt and white
ankle socks, she looked so cute. She
must be asleep because her eyes
were half closed and her hair were
out of place.
"Cassandra, Can you make something too
eat I am so hungry." she said yawned
and sat cross legged on the couch.
" who is Cassandra ?"
" She is standing right in front of
you. Can't you see her ? Are you
blind ?" she asked a little loudly
while pouting. Suddenly her eyes
went wide as she saw me. She shot
up from the couch and came to stand
in front of me.
"Timothy ?"
"Yes." I said raising an eyebrow.
"What are you doing here ? Did I
forget something?"
No. I came here to apologize for
what happened this morning and I
got you this." I said handing her the
bouquet.
"Can I come in ?"
"Sure please." she said politely,
taking the bouquet and placing then
in the vase after smelling them. She
smiled and that made me relax a
little bit.
"Umm.. Cassandra He is my boss,
Timothy. And Timothy she is Cassandra" She introduced us. so she didn't know
who she is to me.
"Nice to me you." I said looking in
her eyes.
"I am sorry." She said after a long
time her eyes held fresh tears.
"huh ?" Hailey said confused.
"No you are not. "I was meeting
her at last and it feels like I got back
something which was lost for a long
time
"Umm...do you know her.
" yes I do. And very well." I replied
not looking at Hailey.
