Alpha's Nala

Chapter 10. 21

Legaxy

Friday was nearly coming to an end, and I'm still struggling on finishing the rest of my paperwork which, by the way, was piled up — two stacks to be exact — on my table. I've already done so much of it for half of the day. But, whatever I do to lessen up the clump, it keeps on adding up. 

I don't know if this is caused by some kind of magic tricks from my wicked 'friends', who submits late reports, or just colleagues taking advantage of my preoccupied state, THANKS TO SETH. But one thing's for sure, I am so behind already...

And being behind like that, which never happened to me before — if I may add, will earn me a tough session with Ms. Dawn since she, like every boss there is, loathes lethargic people. Most especially, those who procrastinate.

Luckily, I'm not one of those people. I'm just that typical employee who gets a bit 'distracted', but surely enough, knows how to bounce back once required.

Yet, today, I didn't 'bounce back' as expected...

My task, aside from being pending, is incomplete; incident reports are still for review, event contracts needed to be arranged and signed are nowhere near done, schedules for final interviews are not yet set, and the memos that I needed to spread around the hotel are not even prepared.

So yeah, it's a long list of to-do lists, and knowing I needed another day or two to clean up such clutter — without any interruption, if I may add, I let out a groan of frustration...

This is all Seth's fault!

If it weren't for his shady secret and delicate pinky promise four days ago, I would have a focused mind right now — to help me work steadily, and fast working hands — to get me through the paperwork without any pause.

But no! I took him seriously because promises, and family, for me are so damn important that I would protect them until the day I die...

Yes, I sound stupid but that's how I am. Seth better be happy about that.
