"Did you have fun last night" , asked Michael when he saw my frown face .I nodded with a smile , " it was okay ".
My mind was in thoughts whether Maxky looked behind when I stormed out the club .
I looked at the time and it was noon, time really passes by so fast within a blink of an eye.Some of my colleagues went out to grab their lunch.It was only Michael and I in the department trying to finish our work.I could barely do anything ,my mind went a stray , the only thing it could process was maxky.
"Hey Ritsu let's grab lunch , am so hungry ", said Michael who was yawning loundly.I grabbed my phone and we headed out of the hall.
We usually ate at Ritah restaurant, a building next to my office.We ordered food which was very tasty. After taking our meal we headed back to the office.
In the evening I headed back home ,changed my attire and went back to club . My only motive was to see Maxky ,the man I have being thinking about the whole day .
" Was he going to show up ?Will he remember me ? Did he think about me like I did ?
I sat exactly the same spot I was yesterday, to make it easy for him to notice me , my eyes searched for him at every corner of the bar.My whole body yearned to see him even if it was only for a few seconds , it would Quist my thirst.
I stayed there till noon but he never showed up.I was so disappointed in myself for falling for a stranger .
After a few days had passed by my mind had slowly forgot Maxky. One day at the work the boss announced that there will be a new manager appointed at our department , he would report that day.Whisper circulated around the room every one wondered who the new manager would be.
" Ritsu I assign you to show him around the office and help him adapt quickly" , said my boss.
I took some documents and went to photocopy them at the photocopy room. The photocopy was struck ,I got agitated and strucked it with my leg .
"Ouch ! I cried loudly , I think my toes are broken ".
" Are you okay " , I heard a familiar deep voice asking in worry. That voice sounded familiar. Don't tell me it's who I think it is , No ! It's not him ? , am just imagining things .
I turned to look at the mystery man hoping it's not who I think it is . Not my clumsiness again ,it was Maxky , what is he doing here ? I mean at my work place.
Moreover why do I have to meet him when am at my weakest point in life . My heart skipped a bit ,cold sweet started oozing from my body .
" Ristu , what happened? , are you okay ?", he leaned towards me in worry. His shiny dark eyes were feeled with sympathy . " Let me grab the first aid kit " , he said and hurriedly went to get in the next room.
I could barely think straight ,I wondered how unlucky I was , why did he have to turn up now ,only after I had tried my best to forget him. Am tired am feeling restless over a man.
He asked me to remove my shoes and socks so that he could treat my wound before it could get worse . I removed my stuffed feet from the shoes , bloozed oozed from the first toe.
He applied spirit on the wound , I cried loudly , " ouch ! It hurts" , tears rolled down my chubby cheeks. Maxky placed his hand in his pocket and gave me his handkerchief embroidered with his name " Maxky".
" Am sorry , I will be gentle " , he whispered to my ears . A cold shiver left my body . I wished I could have him in my arms all to myself .
" Not again ,what am I even thinking about ? " My mind knew I was wrong but my body was more honest.
Maxky applied medicine while blowing at my wound , he badged it and kissed my wounded toe saying "heal faster". Shyness overwhelmed , I smiled at him from left to right.
Michael came to the photocopy room to check reasons as to why I stayed long in the photocopy room. He was shocked to find me seated on the floor with a bandage , beside me was a handsome stranger holding the first aid kit.
Michael raised his voice at him demanding to know who he was , why was he addressing my wound , I quickly responded to Michael and told him , he was a helper who found me in pain.
Michael helped me get up and walked me back into the department hall. Maxky followed us from behind carrying the first aid kit.
While we got at the hall , the boss came and greeted Maxky with a warm smile and whispered something in his ears. After a few conversation with Maxky he turned to the department and asked for our attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen I hereby welcome to you all , our new manager, Maxky Adams ". Everyone at the department stood and clapped for him.
