I couldn't wait to get to the hospital, I just hoped Kene was going to be fine, I closed my eyes tightly offering prayers to God.

Thanks to Chi who allowed me to make use of her car when mine developed an unforeseen fault this morning, or else I would not have been able to get to the company as early as this.A couple of staffs stood talking in the lobby as I opened the door, conversation instantly stopped as they artlessly stared at me as I entered. I kept walking with my head raised high, I continued through the foyer and into the open area of the so called main office, as soon as people saw me, a collective hush grew. I suddenly wished I could melt into the floor. I walked cautiously to the CEO's office, ignoring the alarming look on the secretary's office as she tried to stop me."Good morning, Mr Ian." I said breaking into his thoughts.
