CHAPTER 13

As I woke up in the morning the first thing I did was to write my one week leave letter from work. I planned on how to tender it to my manager.

I just pray she accepts it. I said to myself. I took my bath and set off early to work as usual. It was a cool bright day, simply because of the rain that fell yesterday.

The earthy smell of rain that hit the ground was good. I better be given this leave, I said to myself checking the letter I was given. When the receptionist manager came to work the look on her face was not good.

I am sure she will make us have a bad day, I said to myself. Good morning ma, I greeted her. Morning she replied. Turning to me, and you Mary, why were you not at work yesterday. Huh, I cleared my throat. I was not feeling too well, so I went to the hospital.

Hmm! You ‘ve thought of another lie to cook right?. No,ma, I am telling the truth, I was sick yesterday. Hahaha, she laughed. What's funny I said to myself in my mind. You are at the verge of losing your job
