Lunch with Chairwoman

She was gonna meet me for lunch. That made my day. I didn't have breakfast. I didn't have my anchoring triple shot latte. I went straight to my desk, 10 mins late, and start work.

It was a difficult morning. I hate giving this job only half of me.

A DOM dropped by to visit. If he was not monitored, I swear he would have planted me a wet one. He could hardly contain himself. The moment he caught sight of me, he was calling my name. Reaching out for a hug. I didn't have anywhere to run away to. I was cornered. He drew me in for a big hug, all the while I was screaming. He even pinched my cheeks. I'm not 6. Will you please stop it?

I was screaming because I was hoping I wasn't going to see him. The office celebrated the fact that they weren't gonna be here to have him arrive into the office to make a spectacle of himself. I was not so lucky.

As we had lunch, I spoke to her about how I felt when I got up this morning, right down to the moment she guessed which lift I was in. (it was 19) We walked out into the sun. We walked and talked and spoke and laughed.

And on the way back from lunch, we walked into a person I bantered into agreement only 2 days ago. Having meals will Chairwoman will give you indigestion. She provides information that even sometimes I cannot take.

My first word to him "Portugal is going to win tonight!" even before he could say anything.

"Don't break her heart. She's a big fan of David Beckham!"

Like you would know. And, she's not. We both gave him the look.

Then he pause to speak to me about work. And then said, "Hey, Dhilah. When can I date you?"

Even without my glasses, I could see Chairwoman throwing her hands up, quickening her pace and gave out a yell of anguish. She left me with him. Chairwoman yelled back, "I'm sorry I'm busy dating Shine whenever I have spare time. I can't date you."

And he walked away.

"Do you think the message has been delivered?"

No. Try hitting him on the head. He wouldn't notice.
