The only way to get rid of bad thoughts and stupid assumptions about Jacob is to work. Full concentration on the job made me forget a bit about Jacob's sad face that had been haunting me all along. These office bookkeeping numbers have always been my impingement, because this job forces me to always focus on doing it. So my mind is only on those numbers.
These numbers are also what makes me remember Max. The guy is crazy about numbers. He is one of the best graduates of Stanford University and has a myriad of trophies and won the mathematics olympic championship.
When I was looking at the numbers in front of the monitor, Max suddenly came holding two large bags of grocery bags and he put them on my desk.
Max kissed my head and took the chair next door and sat down next to me. The occupants are home and I'm overtime now. There were about 4 people overtime today. Oh yes Max is familiar with the friends of this room, because he is used to coming. I told you Max was a very quick person to get along with other people. Even with my manager, he was friends.
"It's not finished yet?"
"A little bit more" I answered while looking at him. Then my gaze was fixed on two large bags of grocery bags with the words of the famous brand that he had put on my desk.
"Whatis that? shopping again?" I shake my head. "Your room is like a walk in closet Max. "
Max laughed, "Open up, just nagged."
"Waiting you to finish overtime, I just kept coming home and stopped by to buy it for you."
I picked it up and saw the contents of the grocery bag, the contents were a party dress and one more bag contained beautiful high hills shoes.
"Good," commented. "But what's it for?"
Tomorrow is the day of our new boss' arrival, and the night is held a party and dinner together to welcome him. But only the higher-ups and people who have positions only. My division is represented by Randy and our manager Gina.
"Max, I told you-"
"I've been bragging about them if I have a beautiful girlfriend, please do!" His eyebrows rose, a sign that he did not want to be denied.
I held her hand, and then I rubbed her slowly. "Max I have no obligation to come. Ah yes, the clothes I wear just as we go on a date, yes" I said to cheer him up. I swear I'm not ready to see her again. I fear.
Suddenly, Randy's voice was loud to the chatter of the two of us, "Sorry nih Lin, you must come." Randy propped his phone, showed me a whatsaap message from our manager. "Bu Gina tomorrow can't come, now her son is in care. He told you to change him. So I'm the same you who will represent the Finance division." Randy's words sounded absolute, I couldn't dodge anymore because my boss instructed.
Max smiled his winning smile, "It can't be reasoned anymore right now?"
I sucked in a lethargic breath, then looked back at the monitor screen in front of me which displayed many numbers lined up. I try to finish my job quickly. Now it's almost seven o'clock in the evening I'm tired and want to get some rest.
