In Love With My Son-in-Law

A khaki envelope

OPHELIA POV

When with how late I slept so late last night, I still managed to wake up with a rack just like I do it always. I can be lazy in all aspects but as I told you I am one person never jokes at all when it comes to work. This is mainly that has made me a very successful business woman .

I woke up , and started with my usual program which is saying a prayer and then headed into shower. I had to make breakfast myself before I went work. My house help is still in her vacation which will last until the end of this week.

Am such a lazy human when it comes to doing house chores just like I am meant to prepare my own breakfast and then have to irony the dress that I will wear to the office. But I had to stop the laziness today more so with the extremely so much work at the station

I was soon done with everything and now I headed to the parking lot deciding on one of the cars that I had to drive to the office. I opted for the black one and soon drove to the office. The traffic was light and before long I was parking my car in the parking lot of the work building .

“Good morning ,madam.”

“Hope you are having a good morning .’’

“Welcome back from your daughter’s” Many of my employees kept greeting me until I was finally in the lift that was to take me to my office which is at the top floor of the building. As I told you, I had so much work to do so I had to go as quick as possible.

After a few minutes in the lift I was at the door of my office . My secretary came immediately and read to me everything which was my program for the day. I really had so many things that I had to do. This was going to be a very hectic.

After her doing that , she got out of my office and I sat down ready to begin my work for the day . However I recalled that I had not called my daughter . I last talked to her when they left for the airport but I did not call to find out if they had landed safely .

Cocidentally , my phone started to rung just as I was getting it out of my bag and when I looked at the caller it was actually from Amara. A smile formed on my face as I pressed the yes button putting it on my ear .

“good, morning mom. Hope you are okay there . We reached very well and as you know I was too occupied wit my hubby that I did not call to tell you that we landed well.” She said but of course one could detect that her tone of voice was a very excited one and that was what I wished that it could be .

“That is very good , actually I was going to call you right now.”

“okay , I think I will get off , my husband is waiting for me.” She said.

“Okay , I think I will be a grand mom by the time you get back.” I said sarcastically and she laughed out loudly and soon I was laughing along with my daughter .The laughter went on for about five minutes. It was something that we did from time to time.

It made the bond between us get even stronger .

“By the way dad called.” She said out of the blue, that was another one whom I really did not want to know or even talk about. I was so happy when he did not turn out at the wedding since he could only do one thing and that is disorganizing every thing.

“And what did he say?’’ I asked Amara but tried to hold back the grudge that I have on that man .

“He was on a business trip and that is why he could not come to the wedding . “ Amara said. Of course I wanted to say more but went against it. I was not going to say anything bad about her dada. She is on her honey moon and she is someone who likes her father so much.

‘Oh, okay .” I said but with an aim of wanting this conversation come to an end. We finally said our good byes and I resorted back to my work as I was now settled that my daughter was completely okay.

With that , I could now concentrate on the work in the office. The first two hours were so intense. I managed to accomplish a number tasks. By the time I turned to have my coffee, I had indeed covered and finished handling a number of files.

After the coffee, I turned back to the work and had a zoom meeting that I had to attend. It was very important as it was possibly going to help us get a number of clients for our new products that is about to come to market very soon.

The zoom meeting went on very well. I was so excited for the up coming cooperation with so many people. By this time, I was so exhausted . I needed to have a rest and then could complete the day with another board meeting beginning at 2:00pm.

As I got out from my seat , my secretary came in. I wondered why since I had not called for her . I had actually made it clear to her that for today I did not want any disturbance unless when I needed her .

“I am so sorry that I came in before you called me but I had to deliver this .” she said handing me a khaki medium sized envelope. I looked at it a bit perplexed .

“I certain gentleman delivered it at the reception.” She explained perhaps when she looked at me and realized that I was puzzled.

“okay , thank you . You can now go.” I said to her and she did just like what I had told her to do. I was prompted to sit back on my seat again. I don’t know why but I suddenly felt something. It was something that I did not know how to describe and I could surely not but a name to it.

I had to see what was in this envelope .

Thank you so much for reading . leave a comment asking about anything that you want me to do .
