บท 12: A name that works wonder
"For Bin's sake," he wiggled his brow.
"I see. The devil's incarnate must have given toy a bit of his cliché talk."
"I don't care." He pouts a bit, "please help me."
And I did.
I helped him complete his task for the day before I called it a day."
"Thanks, Osy. I'll be sure to tell Bin you're the best friend any male can think of having."
"All for the little help I gave?" I raise a brow at him.
"Of course!"

"Me Mar said there will be a workers' meeting this afternoon by three. We're all expected to be there." Dozzy announced the moment he came into my office.
It was as if he had to let those words out of his chest for fear of forgetting them.
"A meeting? Why will there be a meeting?" I look at him in question?
"I don't know," shrugging, he sat on the chair opposite mine. "He just called me to now. He never mentioned what the meeting is all about."
"Is he stepping down?" I eagerly asked.
Should this be the case, I'll be more than ecstatic.
"I highly doubt that. You think like him will want to step down for another?"
I highly doubt that. Mar is not someone who'll willingly give his position up. In no way, will he allow another to take over from him?
"I guess we'll find out what it's all about when we attend the meeting."
Dozzy stood from the chair, and walk over to where I am sitting.
" What are you working on?" Dozzy peeped at my olden days' computer system.
"I am trying to get all this stuff done."
Should I work based on my daily allocation, it'll take me more than two months to complete the task. But I'm trying to work against time, and have it completed within three weeks.
This way, I can leave this place in time, with my task completed.
"Wow. You've gone far." Dozzy leafed through the files I arranged on the table. "You've completed three weeks of work in one week."
"You see, not everyone is as lazy as you are, Doz."
" Lazy? Do you think am lazy?
A person taking online classes while completing a task given to him by the devil incarnate is lazy?" He scoffed," My girlfriend complains I don't set out enough time for her."
" Take it or leave it. You're still lazy despite all that." I smirk," you're one lazy privileged kid who got himself saddled with a very wealthy in law."
Doz is the type of person who likes to laze around. He prefers goofing around to working, and that's what made him lazy.
"Should there be privileged ones among us, it'll be Dozzy and Kamara. Currently, they're having the time of their life, visiting different countries for excursions and field trips." Placing his head on my table, he deeply sighed," I wish am still on their level."
" Stupid boy!" I lightly knock him on his head," You're an adult, and you're wishing to return to your teenage years." I glare at him.
" Whatever." He gives me a look of disapproval," it's my life. I am entitled to wish on what I want, to happen."
" Suit yourself, then. I hope your dreams get realized. "

I packed the files, sorted through the information, and arranged the work I did before I left for the meeting.
Already through with my work for this week, I wasn't bothered about the duration of the meeting. They can take forever in there, and it won't affect me.
I've got some things covered.
Going straight to Dozzy's office as I know he's not aware of the time, I found him soundly sleeping like a baby, his alarm going off like mad as it tried to wake him up.
Watching him, I smile at the similarities between Bin and his brother. Aside from their personalities, the two of them look alike.
"Rise and shine Shrek* coughs as I endeavoured to stifle a laugh* it's time for the meeting."
I walk to his desk.
Dozzy didn't wake at all. All he did was yawn and turn his face to the other side.
"Dozzy!" I shout, yet it didn't wake him up.
Watching the lazy bit sleep, I sighed in exasperation.
How in the world did this kind of person manage to pass through middle school and high school without failing?
Could it be he managed to charm his teachers with his family's killer smile? I think that's the case, as there's no explanation for it apart from that.
"Dozzy?" I lightly shook him.
"What's it?" He groaned, turning to the side, he angrily removed my hand from his shoulder.
"Mr Mar is here," I said at last.
And that seemed to work wonders.
"Where's he?" Dozzy say up, red eyes going straight to the door as he sought the devil's incarnate.
Watching him made me chuckle.
I really can't believe his name is the only thing I need should I want him to wake.
Had I known, I would have made use of the name the instant I came in. It would have saved time.
"Osy!" He growled at me, "how dare you to fool me?"
"I did?" I pretend to think about it. "I guess I did." Chuckling to myself, I point to the clock on his wall * Mr Mar had clocks placed in our offices as he thought it'll help us count the time more accurately.*
He yawned. Slowly turning to the clock, he widens his eyes in disbelief,
"God!" Rising to his feet, Dozzy hastily made his clothes a little presentable. Arranging the files on his table, he ran a hand through his head. "Let's go." He rushes out of his office as if all hell were against him.
"Wait for me!" I call out to him.
"Be fast. We don't have time to waste. It's almost 3:20."
"Says the male who delayed me."
Had it not been for the fact I thought to check on him, I would have arrived at the meeting room by now.
