100 Days With Mr Romero

Will woke up earlier than usual. He was already up before his alarm clock could sound the signal. It was the day he will be reporting for duty at the Dan Delivery Services. He freshened up and was soon dressed in his work uniform with the inscription DDS boldly written in the back. He placed his wallet in his pocket and a DDS identity card with his name on it was around his neck. He made noodles and ate it before mounting the delivery bike given to him a day earlier.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

As Will drove to the Dan Delivery Services main office, he wondered how his first day at work will turn out. He recalled his first day at work in Emma’s house. He wasn’t bothered because all he had to do was drive his friend around whom he was well accustomed with. Sometimes, he drove the few domestic staff on errands in Gideon’s mansion. Today, he will be driving supplies instead. He prayed in his heart that his first day turns out easy as he intends to please whichever receiver he was delivering to. He pulled his bike in the company garage and headed to his assigned unit.

“Morning William. ” replied his Supervisor. “Your first task this morning is huge. ” his supervisor told him. Will nodded not knowing what he had to deliver that morning. “You’ll be needing the van. ” his Supervisor said. “Ok sir. ” Will replied. “Address please? ” asked Will. Charles his Supervisor handed him a card containing the delivery details and asked him to follow him. Will’s excited mood which brightened his face earlier suddenly went dim when he realized he was to deliver the package to Gideon Romero his former Boss who kicked him out.

As Will drove to Gideon’s office, he kept praying and hoping that Gideon doesn’t pull out a scene. He will be fired if this delivery goes wrong because being unable to please Gideon will make Dan Delivery Services seem ineffective. When he was offered the job, Charles the supervisor attached to him had warned him to ensure he pleases the customers and doesn’t ruin the hard earned reputation of the company. Will Pulled in front of Gideon’s office and went to Gideon’s office after receiving directions from the receptionist. Gideon will check the supplies and clear them then have his workers empty it from the delivery van.

“You can come in now. ” Gideon’s secretary told Will who was pacing to and fro outside Gideon’s office sweating profusely. William entered the office after knocking lightly on the door. “Let me sign this quickly. I’ll be with you shortly. ” Gideon said with his head lowered while signing some documents. After he was done, he lifted his eyes and behold William was standing before him. Will wanted to shiver but he stood his ground. Will had expected Gideon to yell at him and kick him out of his office but instead Gideon offered him a seat opposite him. What’s going on? Will thought as he slowly descended on the chair opposite Gideon. Was he really standing before Gideon Romero? ” he thought.

“Good morning. ” Will managed to say with his voice shaking. “Morning William. ” replied Gideon. He was dressed in DDS uniform so Gideon knew he was the one that brought the package. “The supplies are in the van sir. ” Will said. “Okay then. ” Gideon replied. He brought out his phone and contacted someone to come and get the van key from Will then go and check the package. The man came, received the key and left Gideon and Will in the office. “He will check it, clear the goods and you’ll leave after I sign. ” Gideon told Will. Will nodded and said “I am so sorry about Ryan’s death. ” Gideon nodded and say “it’s fine. ” “Have you spoken to Emma? ” Gideon asked Will. When Emma left New York for Chicago, she told no one aside her parents and that was how Will got to find out where she fled to. “I haven’t heard from her since she left the city. ” Will lied to Gideon.

Pearl had made Will promise her that he won’t let anyone know Emma’s whereabouts. “I am so sorry Gideon. I don’t know where she is. ” Will said. Will immediately came to the conclusion that Gideon’s reserved and cold attitude towards him is due to Ryan’s death and Emma’s exit. “Poor Gideon. ” Will thought. “You think she will come back some day? ” Gideon asked will who didn’t expect the question. “I.. I don’t know.. Maybe someday.. I don’t really know. ” Will stammered. “Wherever she is, I just wish she is happy. ” Gideon said. “Me too. ” replied Will.

The guy Gideon had asked to clear the goods then came back to the office saying he cleared the goods, they were intact and Gideon could sign the papers. Gideon signed and before Will left his office, he turned around and said “Gideon if you don’t mind I’ll love to apologize for what transpired between us a long time ago.” “It’s okay will. That’s by the way.” Gideon said then resolved to checking the documents on his table. “Yea I know it’s in the past and I feel I should do this. ” Will insisted. “You did so much for me. You gave me a job, a place to stay and I disrespected you. I am terribly sorry Gideon. ” Will said.

“It’s fine Will. ” Said Gideon extending his hand to Will for a handshake. Will hurried towards him and shook hands with him. “Thank You sir. Thank you so so much. ” Will said. Gideon nodded and said “I wish you all the best. ” “And you too Sir. ” Will replied then left Gideon’s office feeling as if a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He pulled the car out of the premises of Gideon’s office and drove back to the main office feeling relived.
