Over the cell phone, Wendy could hear the fear in Michael's voice. Fear? Fear that Wendy would take Jake away? Wendy found that amusing. Didn't he have a new love, Yonina Collins?
He was probably more afraid of losing his son. Wendy took a deep breath. "Mr. Lucas, I am calling to request for my leave. I don't think it is appropriate of you to ask about my personal matters." She kept her tone cold and distant. Wendy's reply made Michael's heart panic more.
He gripped his cell phone. "What if I do not approve?" he asked, breathing heavily.
"You should be clear that I am working with MC Enterprise as a partner. Technically, I am not one of your employees. Even if you do not approve, I can still leave," Wendy replied. "Of course, you may take it as I am slacking off work. It is up to you."
There was silence on the other end of the line. Michael did not make a sound. Wendy did not say anymore and simply hung up.
