SHARON
Sharon.
I continue to read through the never-ending articles that need editing. My eyes are strained, and my mind is foggy, but I need to continue working through the pile to lessen it. No matter what, I must continue working.
Sharon?
Thereâs nothing more for me to do but work. Focusing on my career is all that matters now, and I canât afford to stop. No matter how heavy my eyes get, I need to keep on going.
Hey, Sharon, are you there?
My hunched back hurts like hell, and my migraine seems to be increasing with every passing moment. I understand how my fingers are aching, but how come my knees feel like theyâve run a marathon? Despite all this though, nothing can compare to the pain Iâve had to face that nightâ¦
âSharon, hey, wake up,â a pair of fingers are snapping in front of me.
I jump from my chair as my consciousness returns to my body. I look to the side to see that the CEOâs secretary is calling me.
âHey, Iâve been calling you but youâve just been staring mesmerized at the screen.â
âOh, have I? I didnât notice,â I lean back, breathing deeply.
âIâm not surprised though. Youâre wearing the same clothes you wore yesterday.â She places her hand on my head. âDid you even go home?â
As I rub my weary eyes, I get a sense of comfort from her touch. After taking a moment to fully wake myself, I finally answer her.
âNo, I didnât,â I slump down my chair again.
âGeez, Sharon, you should get some rest.â She stands up and begins to massage my shoulders
âI suppose.â My tense shoulders slowly ease from her careful ministrations. âAnyway, do you need anything?â
âOh right.â She stops massaging and stands in front of my desk. âThe CEO wants to talk to you about something really quick. Seems quite excited, too.â
She wiggles her eyebrows at me, piquing my interest. What could the CEO want with me?
âAnyway, Iâve done my duty. Toodles!â She walks back toward the door. âOh and, Sharon?â
âYeah?â
âTry to take care of yourself more.â She looks at me with concerned eyes.
âI will. Thank you.â I stand from my chair, and head to the CEOâs office.
I shamble through the hallways like a zombie. Lucky for me, the office reeks of coffee. The odor is enough to wake my senses and prevent me from collapsing to the floor.
I feel a huge sense of accomplishment at not getting lost when I finally arrive at my destination. I take a deep breath and reach for the door. I canât tell whether my heart is palpitating from nerves or lack of sleep.
James Stryker, the CEO of our company, is a straightforward guy. While heâs quite approachable and outgoing during company events, most of the time, he keeps a stoic expression on his face. So, his huge smile as I enter the office is unsettling, to say the least.
âCome in, Ms. Flint, please,â he extends his hand toward the seat in front of his desk. âTake a seat. Iâve been wanting to talk to you.
