"I wish I could, but I couldn't. It's hard. First time seeing an angel on earth, it's an opportunity to tell God what I want."
"Hailey, which means you have to resign."
She stood up, walked to her. "I won't, unless you throw me out yourself. Which I know you're never going to do." She grabbed her hand. "Beatrice, I have feelings for you, and they are real. I just want you, I will take care of you." She stared into her eyes.
"I will be sending you some of the samples, go through it and report back to me the end of the week. Hailey, you have to be careful with your words." she said without a glance, picking up a document on her desk
"How on earth do you want me to get this job done? You are my distraction. When you are the only thing that gets into my head. I'm so much into you, give us a try." She grabbed her hands.
She pulled from her. Her neck hung on the top handle of the chair, folded her hands, playing with her tongue in her mouth. "We are not having this conversation again. I…" she said calmly
"Incase you heard someone die for love, I'm the one." She pressed her lips on hers.
"Stop this." She pulled from her, so furious. "What exactly do you want?" wipes her mouth
"I really don't know how, but one thing I know, Beatrice, I just want to be with you. I'm really into you." Caressed her cheek.
"How old are you?"
"I'm same age with your daughter. What matters?" Her hand went down to her neck. Beatrice stood up.
"Out of respect for your mum, I want you to resign."
"I won't resign, I have worked really hard to be here. If I can't have you, he won't. Kicking me out won't stop me." She exclaimed, fist into on her eye.

Beatrice punched hard on the system that you might hear the sound. Her smartphone vibrated as it rang.
She stared at it. "Teresa, I'm sorry, I haven't had time."
"I get it, work. I really don't know if I should say this isn't my business. But I still want to know why."
"Hailey keep breaking rules, I have no choice than to get her suspended."
"She said you sent her packing."
"Was my first intent, but a consideration, I think."
"What caused the alarm?"
"Hailey is not ready for work, you talk to your daughter. Know what's her problem."
"She really love the job, I still found it hard. I do appreciate I'm having a conversation with her."
"I need to get back to work."
"Thanks." The phone hung.

"It's been days now, it feels like it's forever. And you haven't been picking your call."
"Your suspension hasn't been lifted."
"You been playing hard, all I did was just pouring out my feelings. I didn't fight or break a rule." Walked to her, held her cheek, making a crying baby face, making an eye contact with her.
"We aren't doing this today, Hailey. And I haven't lifted your suspension."
"Here, I got you this." Raised a finger. "Before you say a word, I'm not bribing you. I really miss you, Beatrice." Whispered to her. "I'm not letting you throw me off balance. You're too beautiful to be ignored. I'm not letting any bit slide."
"Please, leave my office."
She sat on the table, Beatrice stood. She crossed her hand on her neck. She pulled it.
"My doctor told me that I should find my happiness and peace, that I might die if I keep looking sad and unhappy. If I'm to die now, I will tell the world you killed me." She said, making a face. Beatrice dumbfounded.
"How can I stop myself from this I feel for you? You think I'm deceptive. From the moment I knew what love is, that was the moment I fell for you."
"I'm your mother's age, Hailey. And I have a daughter same age."
"That is your fear, I'm not ashamed of that. You were my first love, still the only woman I have ever love." She moaned, rubbed her lips on hers.
"You really want this?" slapped her face with her palm. "I have tried, what do you really want from me?" Beatrice blew so drained.
"Love, I want to make you happy, I want you." She said so soft, gazed into her.
"I'm too old for this." Pulled away from her.
"Let me be the one to tell you that you are not good enough for me." She drop a soft kiss on arm
"Hailey, I can't." She turned from her.
"I can, I want to." Blowing kisses around her neck. "Let me." She held her cheeks.
"Let's get back to work, I have a lot." Took her hands off her cheek.
