I was done with eating breakfast and I went outside to meet Mr Charles.
I don’t know what but it seemed to me that something just isn’t right. Mr Charles is just behaving weird since today.
I entered the car with him and he started the car.
While he was driving u glanced at him for a moment. He looked like be was thinking about something. It was just as if he was planing what next to say to me and how to say it. I just didn’t know what it was.
“Sir?” I said.
“Huh? Yes? What’s the matter?” He replied.
Something is definitely going on here.
“Um nothing sir. I just thought that. I mean… You look so distracted.” I replied.
“It’s nothing Dave. Say. How about we continue our little chat?” He asked.
“Okay.” I replied, not wanting to stress him any further.
“Okay. What was it I asked before again?” He said, trying hard to remember.
“You asked for what my mother’s favourite things to do are.” I replied.
“Ah, yes, that. So what’s your reply?” He asked.
“I just know that she loves to read, cook, and she also loves a tidy house. Did you know she even used to argue with my dad each time he keeps his cloths littered around in the house?” I said and laughed.
Mr Charles laughed too but not much. It was just as if he was rushing to know my answers to each one of his questions. How strange.
“So tell me, has your dad ever given roses to your mom?” He asked.
“Yes. Mother loves roses. Each time she gets mad at father he would get roses for her. It always calms her down.” I replied.
“That’s good.” He said.
“Do you mind if the game ends here? I really don’t feel like playing anymore.” I requested.
All these memories about my father is making me miss him even more.
“Okay. If you say so.” He replied.
We didn’t say anything to each other anymore till we reached our destination.
We went into the company together after Mr Charles parked his car. I went to my desk and he went to his. Work has finally began.
I saw Mr Charles drop the telephone and stand up. He put some of his things in order and then went straight to Mr Adams’ office. Mr Adams probably called him in through the telephone.
That reminds me. Wasn’t Mr Adams supposed to see I and my mother too?

“And you said she likes roses too?” I asked Charles.
“Yes sir.” Charles replied.
“And you are sure that the boy said so himself?” I asked.
“Yes. He told me so himself.” Charles replied.
“Hm. Anna. What a beautiful name.” I said to myself.
“Well, that’s good. Job well done.” I said.
“Thank you sir.” He replied.
“I have another job for you to do. And don’t worry about your work here for today. I have put someone to replace you.” I said.
“Okay sir. What do you want me to do?” He asked.
I opened my locker and gave him a bundle of money.
“Take this and go back to Dave’s house. Take his mother to a boutique and buy her some clothes.” I said.
“But sir, what if she refuses? I mean, I don’t think she would accept it.” Charles replied.
“Do you want to loose your job?” I asked him.
“No sir. I’m sorry. I will do as you say.
” Good boy. Now go and do it. I want her looking hot for me because I’m coming to visit her today.” I said and Charles left.
I sat here on my seat daydreaming about Anna. I mean she is so hot so curvy and all. I don’t know why but maybe her shape is still there because she only gave birth to one child or maybe she was just blessed with it.
“Oh God. I almost forgot to sign this part of the contract.” I said as I snapped back into my senses.
Charles POV
I can’t believe how much trouble I have gotten myself in. I wish I never saw anything. I could have minded my own business. How on earth am I going to get her to the boutique now.
Should I just meet her and say, madam my boss has interest in you and wants you to change clothes before he arrives here?
Yuck! That would be awkward and also a disaster.
Oh, I know what to say.
I finally reached the house and got through the gate. I knocked at the door and she opened it.
Well, here it goes.
“Good day madam. I need you to follow me right away if you aren’t busy that is.” I said.
“Where to? And why?” She asked.
“To the boutique. Reason being that my boss wants to give Dave a surprise.” I replied.
“How?” She asked.
“Well, Dave has always told him about the kind of future he wants and also how he wants other women to be jealous of his mother once he makes it in life. My boss only wants to give Dave a surprise, so he sent me here to take you to the boutique before Dave arrives home.” I replied.
She looked at me for some time before finally responding.
“Okay. Hold on a minute.” She said.
After some time she finally came out.
“Let’s go.” She said.
I felt like she didn’t really believe me but she just decided to play along.
We got to the boutique and she alighted from the car. I went to park the car and then I came back to meet her where she stood.
We both walked in together. My friend, Francis, was there.
“What can I do for you today Charles?” He asked.
“This is the mother of the boy I brought here before. I came to get new clothes for her under my boss’s orders.” I said.
“Oh. Okay.” He said.
I walked closer to him and whispered into his ear.
“Find clothes for her that would fit just right. You see how beautiful she is? Just make her more attractive.” I said.
“No problem.” He whispered back.
“This way madam.” Francis said and Dave’s mother followed.
