Seventy Three

While eating he thought, 'Because of my interruption her work is now incomplete, and she must have hurried down her work then having to carry up her things in my room, but I waited for her, did she come to my room last night?'

Aunty Zelda asked, "Caleb son, are you alright, you seem disturb about something?"

Caleb shook his head, blinked a few times, then took his tea and drink it, "Ouch." He then looked at Aunty Zelda and saud, "Aunty Zelda, you could have told me the tea is hot."

'He was so lost in thought when I told him, he was not listening,' she thought then said, "Sorry son, I thought I did."

He saw how confused she looked so he wondered, 'What is wrong with her?' Saying nothing he stood up and went to the garage. Seeing the white van alone, disappointment engulfed the joy that was there, but he could not avoid the inevitable. 'Well, from going through the accounts for S&S stores, I must really go in and see what changes have been made to bring about this drastic boost in their sales.'

...

Margret tried many times, but still wasn't getting through to her, so she called a taxi, 'I wonder why she is not answering her phone, the few times I call they keep saying the number is not in service.'

Reaching the store, Margret saw the vast changes that had taken place, 'Something about it makes you feel excited and inviting. Am I imagining this, or is there something different about the store?'

Margret went straight to the supervisor, before I could say anything she said "It feels good, don't you think?"

"Yes, but what happened?"

"Mr. Christian worked the whole of the week before and brought in a new worker, she did all the changes and rearranging."

"Then I believe we should bring her in once a month to do some rearranging, well carry on." Margret said as she walks up to the office.

...

"Sir I am sorry, I could not stop her."

"It's alright Maggie, some people don't know how to take no as an answer, and Maggie, I am expecting a Miss Steelton to call or visit, will you please patch me through."

"Yes sir."

"So Jezell, what brings you here? I thought you ended this relationship, or can't you stay away?"

"I am so sorry Caleb, I made a huge mistake. Baby please, I miss you," Jezell said as she reached out to touch his face, she saw the finger print, "Caleb who slap you?" Caleb ignored her question as he walked to his desk, "Caleb I ask you something."

"What did you ask? I am sorry, I wasn't listening, you know I am so exhausted from this last two weeks working at those two stores, I could sleep for a week. Now tell me Jezell, what was it you were asking before?"

'He looks so tired, but who slap him again? Some months ago, if I recall carefully, I also remember the same occurrence. I had a friend querying about it and when he did get a leeway, he then lost contact. Now this again, who is she? I must find out,' she thought going to him, "Caleb I am sorry, I miss you so much. I haven't seen you in two weeks."
