My boss's possession

Getting new job

David P.O.V.

I parked my car and ran to mention. I saw my mom waiting for me in the dining area. She always waits for me, even though she knows I am always coming late. "Hi Mom, sorry I was caught up somewhere", I said to her in a low tone. She glared at me and thought of something and, after some time, replied " I will heat your food, go fresh and eat. " Mom, I am full. You please take a rest and have your medicine on time." I said to her in a calm tone. Mom did not reply to me, but her eyes moved towards my neck and her eyes widened immediately. "David, how long, have you spoiled your life like this? Please get married and start your family so that I will be at peace", she said to me in a calm tone. I know what she wants to say, but I hate the concept of marriage. After my father's betrayal, I don't want to get married."Mom, you know that I have never been in a relationship, I always want to be successful and this marriage will only distract my mind. I don't want to burden myself with any one responsibility", I replied helplessly. I don't want to disobey my mom, but can't she understand that I don't want to get married? I don't want to bind myself to someone's responsibility.

I went to my room and after changing into night-wear, I called my manager about tomorrow's schedule. " Hi Dan, cancel all my meetings for tomorrow, I have some important work", I said to him in a cold tone and hung up. Tomorrow, I plan to spend time with my mom.

Emma P.OV.

Lara told me that her dad scheduled my interview for tomorrow, so, I just started preparing for my interview and selected one of my favourite gray skirt and white shirt for tomorrow.

Next morning, I woke up and brushed my teeth and, after doing my business, I left for the interview.

After parking my bike, I ran to the elevator and pressed the button to reach the seventh floor. "Hi, I am Emma, I have an appointment with Mr. Parker at 11.a.m", I said to the receptionist. "OK, I will check with sir, please wait", she replied calmly.

After sometime, I knocked on the door. "Come in", Mr. Parker replied to me politely.

"Emma, I have seen your resume but, unfortunately, you don't have enough qualifications so I just offer you a clerical post if you are comfortable", he said to me. I know that I don't have enough qualifications but, I desperately need this job, so I just nodded, whatever he offered me.

"Good, so you can join us from tomorrow", he replied. "Thank you Mr. Parker for your help", I replied to him happily and went to my apartment.

I called Lara and thanked her for help and she said that she wanted to go to the club, but I didn't feel like it, so I said that we could go to the park tomorrow. She accepted and I cut the call and went to my bedroom and slept.

Next morning, we went to the park and, as always, she started blabbering and I just listened, suddenly I saw a women in nearly her 40's slip. I went to her and helped her. She thanked me and suddenly I saw a man running towards us and start abusing me. "Hey you, what did you do with my mom", the man asked. I was angry about how he blamed me without knowing the situation. " I just helped her, your mom slipped from the desk. So, better without knowing the situation don’t blame anyone". I spat angrily and he was quiet and went away. Lara ran towards us and asked what was happening. I just dodged her and we went to my apartment.

"Hey calm down, I never seen you that angry, what happened back there", she asked me questionably. "Nothing", I said to her, and went to make something for us. I don't know what happened to me, but when I saw that lady, I remember my mom, but I hate that boy. Most probably he was the son of that lady, but he was so arrogant and rude. I had already started to hate him.

"Oh God, don't tell me you started day dreaming", Lara said. "No, I was just thinking about the boy , how was anyone that rude? I just helped his mother and, instead of thanking me, he started shouting. She took the plate from my hand and we moved towards the couch."Maybe he was so possessive towards his mother" she replied to me and sipped her juice. "Ya may be you are right, I just overthink sometimes", I replied to her while having my lunch. But deep down I don't know why I become restless.
