Deadly obsession-8
Greg-“Told you I would take care of it.”Then over the PA loudspeaker,Nicole was paged again and with a loud groan,she stomped off to deal with the new crises.Greg looked on the shelf and saw that his paperwork was needing her sign off so he scooped it up and folowed after her.Greg caught up with Nicole at a stock room door who looked a bit surprised he was still there.Greg looked at her a little sheepishly and held up the statements.Nicole looked at them,at him then nodded her head and went through the door.Greg followed her.Nicole walked rather quickly to a small room on the far side of the stockroom and motioned for Greg to follow her in.The room was mostly empty except for a small stack of boxes that could form a crude cot if someone was weary enough to demand sleep.Nicole sat on the boxes and held out her hand for the paperwork.
Nicole-“What did I forget?”
Greg-“To be honest,you didn’t forget anything.I,on the other hand,forgot to get your signature on these statements.I know it’s been rough.”
Nicole-“Rough is not the word I would use.HELL is the word I would use.I put in a 16 hour day,and go home long enough to grab a five minute shower and lay down for a few hours and I’m back here again.I’m exhausted.”
Greg-(massaging Nicole’s shoulder’s)”I can tell.But you don’t have any more to worry about with my order.You saw the shelving.The cooler’s in the same condition.A place for everything and everything in its place.”
