Chapter 44- Financial Resposibilities
"Has Marissa arrived yet?" Delinda asked Kate who was in the mood to destroy the office. Last evening she wanted to meet Mr. Sinclair but he had left early.
Though Dean assured her that her meeting was scheduled with the president, Kate wanted to get done with it.
All this impatience had made her grumpy like some elderly lady.
"Kate. Has Marissa arrived yet?" Delinda asked her again when out of nowhere Shang Chi appeared and sat on one of the seats.
"I’m not Marissa’s secretary, Delinda. What’s your problem? Stop grinding me with such silly questions," Kate snapped at her and took out a compact mirror from her purse.
"I’m sorry if I spoiled your morning. I really need to talk to Marissa. It’s urgent," Kate suppressed a yawn and squeezed her eyes. Last night Amir made wild love to her keeping her awake most of the night.
At last, she decided to bless Delinda with a fake smile, "Marissa won’t come to office that easily. Didn’t you see how she is allowed to come late or take an off? We have hardly completed ten working days and she has already availed the relief and became our in charge too." She then rested her cheek on the table, "there is something fishy going on."
Taking long strides, Marissa came inside and placed her bag on the table, "Good morning, everyone," she greeted her friends cheerfully when she caught the sullen look on Delinda’s face.
"Del. You look upset," Delinda’s eyes welled up with tears, "my son. He has been complaining of stomach pain since last night and I need to take him to the hospital. Marissa please I need to go."
Kate rolled her eyes, "Here we go again!"
Marissa didn’t pay any attention to her and hugged Delinda, "Is your son accompanied by someone? How old is he?"
