I Missed You Too

It's been a few days since Emily told me about her plans to break my brother's heart. I am not in support, but there is nothing I can really do to stop her. We are having lunch together; I am waiting for her to arrive at the restaurant. It's not too far away from the office, so I wonder why she is late. I am not coming from the office; but she should be here any minute.

I see Emily walking inside the restaurant, I am glad she has arrived because I am starving.

"Hello, Boss," Emily says once she gets to me.

"I have told you; you can call me by my name outside the office."

"I know, but I have gotten used to calling you “Boss” since you refused to allow me to call you Ma’am."

"I couldn’t stand my friend calling me ’Ma’am’, ‘Boss’ sounds calmer to me."

"Why?"

"I don't know, I just like it."

"Okay, if you say so. Why didn't you pick a cheaper restaurant? You are forgetting I can't afford a meal here with all the bills I have to pay."
