love finds its way around

Chapter 3

"He said you should be his personal assistant?" Mrs Grammy ask over a glass of apple drink
I'm just getting to Mrs Grammy's apartment and I told her how it went at Recess company. He agreed for me to start tomorrow, to think of it I don't even know his name yet. I also explained to Mrs Grammy that he's Carmela's father. It seems weird addressing him as a father but he is.
"Yes" I sigh
Mrs Grammy looks at me as if studying my every reaction. "So what is it you're worried about exactly, it's all over your expression that you're worried"
"Did I do the right thing not being angry, should I go cold towards him?" I ask cause maybe I'm just too simple minded I mean he should pay for what he did right
Mrs Grammy smiles at me and I wonder which part of what I asked is amusing.
"You forgiving him isn't wrong my dear, it's natural to forgive those who offend you. Don't worry let it just go as it is" she gives me an assuring smile. "And is that all you're worried about" she says giving me a knowing look
"Carmela, working as a personal assistant will take my time and I'm worried about you know the work load on you" I say slowly, I really don't want to be any form of burden to Mrs Grammy, she's an amazing woman that's assured but still yet
"Got you!" She exclaims suddenly. "I knew you'd be worried about that. I keep saying this same thing over and over, I'm not exhausted at all. I can take care of Carmela with no complains young woman"she snaps "I'm beginning to think you're the old one not me anymore"
I laugh at her last statement "oh no I'm no where close to being old" I argue
She raises an eyebrow at me as if not being convinced
"Okay fine. I won't bother about that anymore" I say with a tired sigh relaxing into the comfortable couch. "Is Carmela still asleep?" I ask
"Oh yes she is, she was active earlier till I put her to sleep" Mrs Grammy explains. "How about lunch?" She asks.
Well my opinion is not needed in this question cause if I counter it she's not going to listen to me and I don't want to be called old again. I'm still bothered if my patience will let me work with him, he's Carmela's father after all would I be able to go through it. I'll just make sure to have a certain limit with him.

*******
I walk into the company's building to see people moving around. It wasn't as crowded yesterday. I look up to see a huge statue game character standing right beside the turning to the elevator. I didn't notice it yesterday, I smile at the character before heading to the elevator. Within a short while I arrive at the CEO's office where my tiny little office is located too. I open the door to see Mr Gin and the CEO looking so concentrated at the laptop in front of them.
I press my lips together wondering if I should greet or join them or...whatever I'll just greet
"Good morning" I greet simply walking to my post. I place my bag on the table and I settle down
"Lorraine come over" I hear the CEO call
I clear my throat at the sound of my name from the CEO. I quickly stand up going over to them. Once I arrive in front of his table he looks up at me with a smile. He turn the laptop so I can see.
"Between these two game characters which do you think is best" he ask looking at me expectantly
Mr Gin looks surprised, he loois from me to the CEO. "Wow sir it's the first time you'll ask an employee for their opinion" he says with a nervous smile trying to be polite
The CEO looks up at him. "Is that right?" He asks innocently
"Yes sir"
The CEO nods turning to me. "So what's your choice" he asks
I clear the lump in my throat. "Well I'll go for the one with the fierce eyes, it's a battle game right?"
"Yes it is" he answers
"Okay so it would be nice for the game just to show a sense strength and bravery to the opponent" I explain
"Hmm"the CEO hum. "Makes so much sense to me. So we'd go for Lumuri then" he says to Mr Gin. The character's name is lumuri, nice.
"Okay sir" Mr Gin says operating the laptop to approve of the character
"So breakfast then, I'm starving" the CEO suddenly says. "Lorraine you'll be with me. Umm Mr Gin?"
"No sir I'm going to be setting up the game" Mr Gin says taking the laptop
The CEO turns to me with a smile. "Shall we?"

Good day guys

Thank you for your time
