Jack who is very strict with his secretary is actually very kind to his friends. As his third secretary, I cannot stand him any more for he is so stern to me and always finding my faults.
One day I stormed into his office to tell him what my feeling was. I was already prepared to get dismissed. I told him that as my boss, he deserved my respect for him but at the same time, as his secretary, so was I. Then I left the room. The subsequent weeks, Jack avoided me. My coworkers cornered me in the restroom and said ” You must have told him off good “. I just smiled and said ” We are friends “.
A year later, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and according to the statistics, I didn’t have much time to live. All my friends came to comfort me but many said wrong words. Others just wept. Surprisingly, Jack gave me the most encouragement. He came to visit me with a bundle of tulips. He didn’t tell me what the colour of them he chose for me for he wanted me to see them by myself.
It is Jack who gave me the great courage to enable to live long enough to see all my children graduating from universities and my doctor will declare me cured this summer.
