My mother was absolutely the stumbling block on my path to success.
After I hung up the phone, my miserable face was reflected on the black screen.
"Mr. Lowe, let me explain..."
I tried to make my expression look more sincere.
"I really didn't mean to be late..." I added.
Would he forget everything just now if I changed the subject?
Matthias looked at me and said nothing.
I felt as though I was about to suffocate.
"I've already packed up and can head to the office now! I promise to finish my work properly°™"
All of a sudden, Matthias turned around and walked out. "Follow me."
I hurried to catch up.
It was not until we went out the door that I realized Matthias was not going in the direction of the office, but regardless, I had no courage to question my boss.
I remained silent until we stood in the hospital lobby, and then I could not help but query, "Mr. Lowe, are you feeling unwell?"
