"Liana, Liana " she woke up to her name being called.
"Can you stop yelling am awake now " she said getting out of bed.
Joy ran upstairs meeting her at the door.
"What?" she asked.
"Breakfast is ready " she smiled. Liana frowned following her downstairs.
"I thought I was late for the meeting" Liana pushed her away.
They had breakfast. got ready for work. Joy watched her boss and friend bury herself in work already.
It was now two months since her boyfriend disappeared. After she woke up that night he was gone not even leaving a letter or a goodbye note. He just disappeared. Everyone who knew him seemed to have forgotten he ever existed. Except for, Lucian and Boss.
His friend replaced him as CEO of their company and still managed relations with us. Boss and Mr.Gerald sometimes go out and drink then return fully drunk.
It's like they once in while drown their pain of missing him in alcohol especially boss.
I feel pity for her cause after all that she went through even the little happiness she had got didn't last.
"Joy is my lunch ready?" Liana asked the absent-minded Joy.
"Yes, boss everything is ready," she said getting up.
"Hope they didn't make the same mistake as yesterday," Liana said
"No, they didn't, it's beef soup the way you like " Joy smiled.
Boss has been having a weird appetite lately, the only thing she craves is meat. We thought it was because she missed him since all he used to make her were meat dishes but later and Lucian discovered something else was wrong. We asked her and she said she was okay.
Even her attitude changed, she barked a lot and her temper is worse than hers. before. Was it depression it was what we thought but this was way worse?
Boss is a busybody that sometimes doesn't track her own body's physical health so I decided to do it.
And I noticed she had missed her period last month d to make it worse, her doctor's appointment for her injection was missed. I have a bad feeling but I decided to ask her.....no scratch that. I have decided to tell her the bad or good news now.
"Ahh, boss I need to tell you something," she said.
"What is it, Joy "
"Did you notice that you have missed something this last month?" she said.
"And that would be what?"
"Your periods " Joy said.
Liana looked up with blank eyes, "So, do you want me to go see, the doctor, now? Just because I missed my periods "
"No...ahh actually yes cause it might need to confirm something ".
"Joy what's wrong with you today?" Liana scoffed.
"Something is wrong with you, boss, not me " she grabbed her friend's shoulders.
"Okay, tell me what's wrong with me," Liana asked.
"Everything, your temper, appetite, attitude to everything. Even the way you look is changing. You missed your period and when I checked you never visited the doctor for your monthly injection during the days you were dating with you know who "
Liana sighed, "So your problem is that I have changed and I missed my appointments. Are you okay Joy?"
Joy felt her head hurt, "Can't you get it, or did your brain get too dumb after he left you "
Liana's face changed as she pushed her body away from Joy. "If you have nothing to say please let me eat in peace "
"Liana, you might be having Rosemary's baby " she shouted out.
Liana looked up at her confused, "WHAT?".
