My Sexy Boss

Chapter 12 Morning Shift

Chapter 12 Morning ShiftTHAT NIGHT Jacky visited me at the Hospital when she heard that my father was in the hospital.

"How is uncle?" she asked as she laid the fruits and bread she handed on the side table.

"He needs an operation as soon as possible," I have no strength to say.

"What happened? How about his medication?"

"I really don't know. Maybe I also have a shortcoming because I still let him get tired from work even though he has a heart disease," I whispered weakly.

She leaned over me and gently held my palm. "Don't blame yourself, uncle Gorio just wants to have a normal life," she said to me.

I shookmy head and could feel the warm tears in my eyes.

"Nothing will happen if you blame yourself, let's just pray that uncle's condition improves." She hit my back.

I wiped away the dripping tears and watched him sleep soundly.

"I heard you moved to the morning shift?" she started.

I took a deep breath and sat up.

"Did Calixto misunderstand you?" She asked again.

"Nothing, he's just avoiding me." I shrugged my shoulders as if I just didn't have everything.

"Don't keep secrets. I am your bestfriend." She put her arm around me and squeezed my shoulder slightly.

Again, tears pooled in my eyes. This time I just wanted to cry the weight of the chest.

She sighed, "All right, just cry..."

That's what I did, I cried quietly. How can I not know how I will feel at these times. I was feeling so hopeless right now. I don't know how I will feel now that my father needs a surgery. I also wondered where I could find the money for Dad would use for the operation.

"Let me talk to our colleagues at Restau, maybe we can borrow money and raise money for uncle Gorio's surgery."

"Thanks Jacky, I don't know what I would do if you weren't by my side." I leaned my head on her shoulder.

"You can always count on me," she said while rubbing my shoulder.

"I get going and to go to work. Don't worry I will came back tomorrow. I will bring foods and fruits fo Uncle Gorio." She loosened and stood up to prepare to leave.

"Thank you so much!"

After I took her outside. I went back and sat in the chair in front of Dad.

"Cherry..." I was shocked when I heard Dad's hoarse voice to me.

"Dad! You're and you're awake. How are you feeling?" I asked a series of questions and quickly grabbed his arm.

"I'm fine, you're the one I'm worried about, have you eaten yet? You haven't been to your job again," he whispered weakly.

I couldn't stop the tears from falling again. It's heartbreaking that despite everything, I'm still the one who he's worries about even though I have to think about him first.

"I'm fine Dad, I still have work tomorrow morning. Jacky just came here and I said I might be able to report to work the next day." My answer.

"I'm sorry for giving you a hard time." His voice hoarse as he spoke again.

I shook one after another. "Dad, don't talk much and rest." I interrupted what he was going to say.

"Don't even think about it. All you have to do is strengthen yourself so that you will be recovee," I said between sniffing. I bit my lip as he lightly wiped the tears from my cheeks.

"Cherry, I know I need to have surgery. I want is to go home, I don't want to be a burden to you–"

"Dad, you have never been a burden to me." I grabbed his hand and held it tightly.

I saw a smile shine on his lips. There I felt heavier in my chest so tears welled up.

"God is still good because he gave me a daughter as smart as you." He stroked my hair so I closed my eyes.

"So don't think about the operation because I will do everything I can to improve you."

"Thank you," he said, he closed his eyes again and I just let him rest.

I got up to go out for a while to buy coffee at the vending machine when my cellphone rang.

"Calix..." I pronounced the registered name. I swallowed first and took a deep breath before I could answer that.

"Hello... Sir?" I said formally.

"Jacky told me that your father is in the hospital, how are you and your father?"

"The Doctor said he needs surgery." I have a weak answer.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Hmm, can I... come to visit him maybe?"

I bit down my lip and smiled bitterly.

"I know you're busy. I'll just tell dad that you greeted him. Thank you," I said, without noticing the vibration.

Silence...

He let out a few more sighs on the other line before speaking again.

"Alright..." I heard his audible deep breath over the phone that made my gasped more.

"Thank you Sir." I would have said goodbye to him but he spoke again on the other line.

"Ah, Cherry..."

"Yes Sir?" I was sitting in the waiting chair because he called my name.

A-About earlier, I just ... you know, want to say sorry. I did not mean to hurt you. I really sorry. "

I bowed slightly and forced a smile.

"It's okay Sir, you are right because you are the Boss and I am your only employee, so I have no right to complain."

Since he did not speak yet, I ended the call. Then I held my cellphone tightly and closed my eyes tightly.

Maybe I should remove him from my system. After all, he is avoiding me, he is the one who does not like me so why should I force myself into someone who does not like me?
