I wasn't expecting Mom to leave without making few tries, she's definitely going to do something out of order, so I was all watchful, waiting for that moment. Though she haven't been voicing it out, she has been trying to show me symptoms that she need a grandchild from me, just like Jack. She mentioned that she also got Clifford her favorite, trying to coy her way in as always, that's one of the thing about her that brings a smile to my lips, I don't know whether she does those things thinking I don't know what she's planning to do, or she already knew I could read in between the line, so she keeps doing those things because she knew I knew.
She tried having slight conversations with Miss Joseph along the line as we was chatting, getting her involved in the topic we were having on different occasions, just impressive how she finds the right opportunity to snick her into our small talk, making her voice out few of her opinions, even though she was trying to stay out of our mother son talk.
Mom left immediately it was 14:00, I know that I have already reached my number of words today, that's the reason I am feeling relaxed and giving my mom all the attention required, but looking from the fact I have gotten a new secretary, maybe I should put an increase to my daily word counts, maybe add two thousand more to make it a ten.
After Mom has left and I happened to see her off, I returned into my office as I headed to my private space. “ I kept your lunch on the locker part away from the table and hope you like what I got....”, she tried to make a slight funny speech in between her words, but that's something new to me, I don't do fun, neither do I crack jokes, not used to any of that.
I entered my office, the food right on the spot she said it was, I touched my tummy, feeling quite full already because of the amount of food Mom got me.
“ Have you had lunch yet Lydia?....”, “ No Sir, but I will very soon, just have to finish with the task at hand....”. She replied, giving me all her attention, I turned and went back into my office, the next thing she saw was me placing the ordered food on her table, right by the side of her laptop.
“ You don't work for me in an empty stomach, you've a lot of errands to always run for me, exhaustion will certainly catch up on you and I don't want that, eat this and fuel yourself up.....”, I left the food there on her table and went back to my office, closing the door behind me as I went and sat on my chair.
Yeah, I can't define myself when it comes to my manner of approach, but by giving away my lunch to her, it's best than dumping it here since I was already full. I don't have to ask her whether she wants to eat because it was rightful for her to reply no, even if she was hungry, that's pride and dignity and also respect to herself, so giving her no option is the best, just gifting them to her without asking for her opinion or permission.
The Day went by and gratefully, I happened to add three thousand more words to my book, I could have done more, but I intentionally intended to become lazy all of a sudden, but that doesn't mean I was wasting my time doing insignificant things, I was reading some philosophical book to boost my knowledge on the natural fundamental environment which human has been living on for millions of years.
Home sweet home. I can remember when staying home alone was boring back when I was still living with my parents, It felt lonely the most when Jack left and it was really bothering that it kind of had a negative effect on my mental state for a meantime, but we get over things, that's what humans do, moving on, no matter the situation.
Living in a 4,000 square feet home is really something comfortable for me, I can do whatever I want, enjoy my freedom and space, only have to be a slave to one thing, wisdom. Yes, wisdom.... They guide me with everything I do, every decision I make, has to overlook pleasure for sacrifice, has to work when I should be sleeping, could possibly go out there and party with people to relieve stress, but no, I stay indoor, calculating, planning on what to do next, planning my next move.
Just like normal, the alarm came sounding in my ear, something I was used to. I could even wake up automatically without the alarm, it's part of my body settings, immediately it's 04:00 in the morning, my eyes shots open like it was already programmed to function that way.
Truth be told, if I had someone else in my home, it really would be suffocating, my space feels really comfortable, not too large for me, and yet not suffocating, I just wake up, workout, eat some light breakfast and get ready for my daily task.
On getting to the office today, it was 06:30 and the door was unlocked just like yesterday, interesting, maybe she decided to use the beginners trick for a whole week before showing her true colors, anyways, I shouldn't be thinking about that, she's right in time and I should really appreciate that for the meantime until it's expiring date.
“ Good morning Mr Williams, you're welcome to the office....”. A slight smile came to my lips, I guess this caption is one I am never getting tired off, this greeting, I like..... Mr Williams, that's me she's talking about.
She possibly couldn't see the smile because I hid them well, then went into my private space.
