I quickly wiped the table in front of me before rushing to my supervisor's office.
"Sir, you called for me..." I smiled, trying to hide my exhaustion. Mr. Rex (our supervisor) is someone who truly hates it when his staff shows their exhaustion. He just wants us to work and smile all day without being tired.
"You're the one doing the delivery today," he said, catching me off guard. I was the one who handled delivery yesterday and today was supposed to be my off day,
" Mr. Rex, I did the delivery yesterday; I am supposed to get off in an hour. "
I tried so hard to keep up the pitiful face that never really worked on him ...
"Are we not going to have to argue out your role and how I want you to execute it?"
Mr. Rex's attitude is never for the gentle and soft-hearted .. "No, Mr. Rex, but please I would like to take an off today if possible will do the rest of the deliveries this week "
He raised his left hand which had his wristwatch strapped to it, "You have thirty minutes to get back here and get back on duty, or consider yourself fired! "
Mr Rex walked away from me, I could feel the pity stare from the customers who were still having their meal...
I picked up the package, dashed out of the door, straddled my bike ....
"Damn it..." I spat in frustration as I drove down the bustling street. As much as I hated Mr Rex's attitude, I couldn't even give him a proper punch as I always wanted. I have to keep this job no matter what, it's my only means of livelihood right now. My phone suddenly rang and I hurried to check the caller's ID...it was my mom.
"Mom...you okay?" I asked as I prayed silently that nothing had happened to her again.
"It's your mom's neighbor...Donna, your mom collapsed a few minutes ago"
"What!" My heart immediately started banging against my ribcage.
"Where is she now?"
"Everett Green Global Hospital..." she said
"Ok give me a few minutes, I'll be right..." I looked around to find the nearest turning point ...
There was one ahead of me, forgetting totally about the package I was to deliver ...
After twenty minutes of cycling, I finally got to the hospital, I rushed through the reception, scanned around for a familiar face
"I guess you're ma'am Donna?" I asked the old lady sitting in the waiting hall, She smiled.
"Did the doctor say anything?" I asked
"You know how medical practitioners are, they refuse to say anything unless it's to you" she answered
"Ohh thank you so much for bringing her here ma'am"
