THE COFFEE MACHINE

When another one came he looked also like a senior staff member and was well dressed in a navy blue tailored suit.

He looks handsome and alert as he glances around him to see who is already in the offices.

Without a moment of thought he said, "That smells refreshing, I will take a cup of tea if that's okay." Jessy sees his name on his jacket pocket, Elliot. He seems to be in a higher position but there was a delightful way about him.

That continues as the others step out of the elevator seeing the ones before them walking with their tea or coffee with a smile.

That gives Jessy great pleasure helping others in whichever ways possible, as long as it could bring a bright smile to their faces.

Jessy wonders if they have staff-room assistance to prepare tea for the staff, and if so where is the person?

Thinking about choosing between a secretary or a staff room attendance, she will choose this position. Answering phones and all that paperwork is so boring, this is more enjoyable.

That happened for about five minutes, Jessy decided at that moment to set a tray having a few cups ready with tea bags and coffee, a mug of milk, and a cup of sugar as they came and made their request.

When it was twenty past eight Jessy noticed all the offices were already occupied except the Boss' office.

Checking the time in the reception hall Jessy knew ten minutes had already gone by. With expectation, Jessy brews two cups, one with coffee and the other with tea not knowing his preference. Miss Lystra hurried into the staff room and busy herself making preparations for the boss. With her back towards the door, she was unaware that her boss had arrived.

Brent hurried towards his secretary's office when one of the staff members popped his head out with a broad smile saying happily, "Boss, thanks for getting us a coffee maker, this is the best coffee I have ever tasted."

"You are welcome" I wondered what were they talking about, but they were all smiling, something he had never seen in the office. It seems something has made them happy.'

Reaching Lystra's office anxiously Brent called out to Miss John, "Miss John, I am expecting a young lady where is she?"

Seeing the office was empty, recalling the accident, he wondered 'if she would come to the office today.'

Turning to the sweet voice, "Here you go Sir, which would you prefer, tea or coffee?"

Seeing him sniff both cups "Bad manners Sir."

Ignoring her words knowing he could be down to earth with her, he said with a broad smile. "I know but it is irresistible, it smells so good."

Brent thought at that moment, 'Is this what John and the others were talking about?' Looking at her with the beautiful smile plastered on her face.

Admiring how beautiful she looked in the flowered dress, her skin was fair to look on, she had no makeup but the cologne was his and she smelled wonderful.

He rested his hand on her shoulder wanting to admire her from head to toe. He gave her a slight push yet his hand was firm on her shoulder.
