*STEPHANIE*
A week rolled by yet the pain remained fresh, it was different from the pain from the rejection, and it was different from the pain of the past agony. Getting over it was difficult, I blamed the goddess for my entire existence.
I received several call from the GM concerning my absence from the office but I ignored them all, gradually sun began to set and Gabs returned from work.
She flung her bag in the corner, she gave me a tight hug and whispered in my ears.
"Are you okay steph?"
I nodded my head in response to her questions then she continued talking.
"Norman called me in today, he said he called you but you didn't respond, I told him you were not in your right state of mind and that you would need some time off and he agreed. So take all the time you need to heal and when you're ready to talk about it I'm here.
