"I am fine Sir, but there was an accident, I only got a bruise but there were so many that were injured seriously."
Observing her before asking, "Did you visit the doctor before returning, and where had the accident occurred?"
"Sir, the accident occurred opposite Superior Pharmacy and that crazy woman was driving like a maniac.
"The people tried to get away from the front of the vehicle. It was so scary seeing so many fell and damaged themselves.
"And that woman didn't have the decency to stop, she just drove away. I am sorry for the delay Sir, but I tried helping who I could, then I went home and changed."
Elliot knew she did well: "It's fine, you did well, and these cards are a fine choice."
Sitting behind her desk, Elliot noticed the frown and was curious to know, what was on her mind. "Miss James is something bothering you besides what occurred while you were out/?"
Thinking about Miss Albert, Sylvia thought it was time for him to understand Miss Alberta better.
Overhearing the trend in the conversation, Lystra decided to interrupt Sylvia's attempts to reveal Miss Albert's sincerity and kind-heartedness in front of her superior.
Without knocking Lystra barge in and said, "Sir we have a situation which needs your undivided attention, "
Elliot turned in a rage, looking at her for disturbing his conversation. In a serious and untamed tone, he asked, "What is it, Miss John? Just spit it out."
Realizing his tone was rougher than usual, Lystra bent her head and felt her heart tremble.
Cold sweat seeped down her face as she apologized, "Sir, I am sorry for barging in, but Roland and Jason tried calling Boss but he is not answering ."
Elliot glared at her, " Okay, Miss John, speak up and don't have me in suspense."
Without hesitating, she desperately wanted him to leave: "Sir, Roland and Jason are by the Police station and want the Boss to meet them."
Elliot responded immediately, "Okay, I will deal with it soon."
Observing how she stood looking at him, "Is there something else?"
"No Sir." With that said, she dipped her head and left the office.
Elliot observed Miss John smile with her head bent as she walked out of the office. He realized Miss John's intention and asked Miss James to complete her sentence.
"Yes, sir, I was just thinking if only Miss Albert were here to see the abundant blessing from all her hard work."
Resting both hands on her desk Elliot looked at her carefully. He admires the glow in her beautiful brown eyes. , It had a sparkle that lit up her face. curious to know what she meant, "Why do you say that Miss James?"
"The excitement in her voice rattles his heart. In all his thirty years this is the first time a woman stirred up his heart to beat faster as though he got an electric shock. Her voice sounded like music to his ear.
"Sir, you may be unaware of this, but this had been her baby from the beginning."
Wanting to continue his conversation, listening to the excitement in her voice, "Explain yourself?"
"Sir Miss Albert had drawn the first plan for the architecture the day he came to see Boss, no one had told her about it yet. When Mr Larson took her on her first field trip, she visited the site and did another drawing. All this time she was still unaware of the project but she had worked hard to see this dream of Boss come true."
Elliot secretly admired her for the first time. 'She had been my secretary for four years since Brent pulled me into the company. So why have I never seen this side of her?'
Miss Albert is certainly a lucky charm. She has a smile on the two Larson's men's faces and now this secretary of mine is excitedly glowing.
Elliot pondered for a bit then said, as he reached the office door, " Miss James we will continue this discussion another time, but I have a favour to ask."
"Yes Sir, what is it?"
Turning around to return to his office, Elliot said, "Miss James, I have a dinner engagement tomorrow with some important clients and I will need you to attend that engagement with me. "
Elliot looked at her to see if she would have any objections because this was his first time taking someone out of the office to a meeting.
She said, "Sir, that's not a problem but I will just have to return home to ensure my younger brother gets his meal and make arrangements for a babysitter before I attend the meeting."
Elliot nodded and then left the office.
