When you were still a kid they used to ask you "What do you want to be when you grow up?" and at that time you will respond what you think you want. But as you grow older things will not fall into pieces like what you want it to be. By that time you probably not wishing to be in any profession that you said. You will be hoping to be mentally stable, financially stable and want to be free from judgements, insecurities and expectations.
Growing up in a family where we are not comfortable sharing our problems and difficulties it was really hard to keep everything separated. All from your school, family and personal problems are mixed and no matter how hard you try to put them in different places they are always connected.
I closed my laptop and sighed. Another day has passed and like any other day I gather my things and stand up. I walk until I reach the door of the CEO, Mr. Diell Smith. I have been doing this routine for almost 2 years now and I should have used to this room's interior and the arrangement of the furniture and of course the scent that spread all over the room. When you open the door you will see the big table with office chair at the back that has head rest. You cannot see any scattered papers because it has its own drawers behind the office chair, it has different labels from marketing, finance, business partners and so on. In the left side of the room you can see a door of the comfort room, that comfort room has bathtub, wardrobe and shower which look like a bathroom of a house. In the right side of the room there is bedroom with kitchen. This office is almost a house, it was personally made for the CEO because this is what he want when his father told him to tun their business.
Hi, Sir. Good evening, it's 6 o'clock I suppose you will leave in an hour. I will put the reports on their designated drawers that you are going to review and sign tomorrow.
Yeah, right. Go on, I will just take a rest after that you can go home.
Yes Sir.
I put the reports from the marketing team in its drawer. Did I mentioned that this drawers are half my height? Which means it is long and almost one fourth of the marketing drawer is full of reports. I am glad that I work here as secretary and not as part of marketing department, surely my head will blow up. The next reports that I put was the finance report it was fewer than the marketing department has. I stand up and go back to my place to pick up the remaining reports and the schedule for tomorrow so that I can remind Mr. Smith.
I thought you left. I guess my head will hurt tomorrow than today, is it?
I smiled shyly. I guess it will. And laughed a bit. I put the papers on its right place and face my boss.
You don't have hectic schedule tomorrow though aside from papers.
I think that is a lot more better.
For tomorrow, you have lunch meeting with the new investors. I waited for him to protest because this is what he really hates the most but he did not speak. I think he is really tired. The board meeting was moved to Saturday this weekend so from tomorrow, Thursday to Friday, you don't have meeting and you will be with the papers.
Yeah, yeah right. Whatever.
Okay. Can I go now?
Uh yeah sure, take care.
You too, Sir.
I walk to the door and open it but when I was about to close it he called me and ask.
Do you have plans for tomorrow night?
I stopped and think about my plans for tomorrow but since Sunday is my rest day I don't have any plans for tomorrow. I think I know why he is asking this.
No, I don't have any plans. Why?
Can you come with me at Gil's place?
I knew it, this will be his treat and I'm used to this. Maybe he just want to unwind like he always do when his tired.
Yeah.
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then.
When I got home, I eat bread for dinner, I can cook but I want to sleep early so I clean myself up and go to bed.
