Chapter 43: Do Plans Ever Work Out

MARIAH’S POV:

Antonio’s receptionist finally arrived. She greeted me and asked what she could do for me? Mumbling I said, “Is Antonio here yet?” She called his office, and Antonio answered, I heard her say, “Mariah is down here to see you. Do you want me to send her up?” Antonio must have told her yes because after she hung up she sent me up to his office. Waking up slowly, I’m trying to calm down before I enter his office.

When I knocked on his office door, he invited me in, “Have a seat, Mariah.” I sat across from his desk. “What is it that I can do for you?” Antonio asked. Ahh, I know this is short timing, but one of my pipes broke, I have no water, I called the plumber and he can’t fix it for two days. I can’t go without water for that many days.” I said.

Antonio looks at me and asks if Jim could fix it, I told him that he doesn’t even know the first thing about fixing anything. Maybe you could come over after you’re done working?
