98 Late for Work (1/2)

Alex leaned against the wall and looked down at his phone. His wallpaper was a picture of her smiling at him. Alex unlocked the phone and dialed Zhang's number.

”Hello Mr. Zi,” Zhang picked up after two rings.

”Zhang do you need any of the documents I have for tomorrow? I haven't been able to work. If you do I can look over them now.”

”Ah, not until Monday sir. How is Mrs. Zi, any news?” Zhang replied

”She's going to be alright. If this is all, then I will see you tomorrow. Good job today.” Alex ended the call.

He walked back into the room and saw Eyan gazing in the direction of the night sky.

Alex wanted to tell him about the memory loss, but he did not know where to start. Eyan, he seemed to be lost in his thoughts.

”Are you alright?”

”Bro, I'll be okay.”

”That's good because there's more info from the doctor. I wanted to tell you when we were alone. He said she may lose her memory. But don't worry if that happens, we all will support her and help her remember.”

Eyan Bai nodded and continued gazing up at the night sky. After a few minutes of not saying a word, he spoke.

”You too, stay strong bro, I know you really love my sis; we all do. So, don't stress too much she is going to need you more when she's awake. I'll be going now to see dad and will be back tomorrow. Good night bro.”

Alex continued watching the dark sky for a long time before he went to shower and crawled into the bed next to her. He hugged her gently and told her he loved her. He made sure to speak to her as usual, then fell asleep cuddling her feeble body.

”Darling, wake up you're going to be late for work.” Her soft voice was whispering in his dream.

He nibbled her ear then sleepily replied seductively into it;

”Just a little longer honey. I just want to hold you. Can I not hold onto to my wife a little longer?” He answered her and continued nibbling on her ear.

”Alexander Zi, I'm going to be late for work, cut it out. You will also be late for work. Even if you're the boss you have to lead by example.” She scolded him but he refused to let go.

Alex was going to ignore her a second time but stopped when he felt a spot on his arm stinging.

”Darling open your eyes.” He heard a frail voice say.

His eyelid flew open shocked that this dream was too real. He nervously looked down and found her deep blue eyes glaring at him.
