Chapter 16 -- Oh NO! Not again
Bill's point of view:
Six months later ...
I know something is going on. This whole week has been weird at work. I was sent out of the office for the entire week. That never happens. With four women, someone needs me, and they will break up my schedule. Not this week. I left early Monday morning and it's Friday at 4:30 PM that I'm back in my office. I see everyone discretely packing their personal items.
With Kim, I instantly noticed. Then as I looked around, I saw more evidence. They're trying to hide it, but I see pictures and other mementos have left desks as I walk around.
My birthday is tomorrow, but I don't see how that affects the office. Did we buy a bigger building downtown? Why didn't they tell me?
I call Kim into my office. She comes running.
I ask, "I don't see a box for me."
She has an expression of aguish on her face like I just shot her.
She tries to speak, "You're not ..."
I start, "Close the door please."
Obediently, she closes my door. I smile at her, which sets her at ease. It's funny how often just a simple smile solves so many issues.
I continue, "I see personal items being removed from desks. I didn't get the memo which means that mom is up to something. Fine, let her play her games. However, you can pack up my stuff before 5:00 so you don't have to stay after on a Friday. You have better stuff to do."
She rushes me for a hug. She has a small chest, but the feeling is still impressive as I can see the appreciation on her face. She kisses my cheek.
A few minutes after 5:00, the office is empty, and mom and Jane are ready to go home. I get my heavy coat, put it on, and we're ready to go home. The elevator ride down is normal. The limo is normal. Stopping to pick up Sophia and Vickie, is not normal. Some boxes are placed in the trunk.
In the limo, Jane and Vickie get my sides with me in the middle, we face forward. Both moms sit side by side across from us, making it easy to talk. They're both extremely excited. I can see it in their eyes, they can't wait for something. I could make a guess, but that would ruin the surprise. With the effort they went through in this short of time, no way I ruin it for them.
I try to sound a mix of curious and confused, "Are we going out for dinner? This isn't the way home."
Mom says with excitement, "We bought some land."
Sophia continues, "You're getting a new office."
They smile at my disappointment. I was hoping for a new home, where we can all live. It will probably be another six months at least, I bet they had a huge list of things that we need in the house.
We exit the highway and then it's a few short minutes before I see a four-story office building. There are security gates that open for us. I see several large moving trucks with office chairs, computer equipment, and sections for making cubicles. Half of the large lot has delivery trucks and installers while the other half are people I know from the office. They're all pulling in or were ahead of us and are carrying boxes into the large building.
I saw other people I didn't know on the opposite side of the building. I walk inside the building with my beaming family and the place is incredible. There is a splashing fountain, dark marble with Roman columns lining the entrance. Elevators and a large stairway go up once you're beyond security. There is an information desk and a security checkpoint. The ceiling is painted like the old gothic churches in Europe. There are several sculptures of Roman theme and an elegance to the entrance and atrium that are unparalleled. Several people are there to show employees on huge maps and handouts, where each person sits, where conference rooms are, and where the restrooms are located.
The second floor is daycare, a cafeteria, dining space, microwaves for those that bring their own meals, and then a break room playing calm elevator music. I am told our chefs make the food and everyone has the same choices with daily specials as we do.
Free parking, daycare, and lunches. Amazing.
The entire building looks like executive offices, but mine are beyond belief. The desk, table, chairs, bar, and washroom must have cost a mint. Everything was designed to extrude wealth and luxury. Even the chairs are amazing to sit in. Kim and Betty attack mom. I can see the excitement in their eyes.
My office has a beautiful view of trees in the distance. Kim eventually gets around to hugging me. Why? I didn't do any of this, it's all mom and Sophia.
Vickie and Sophia had checked in with their people. They made their way back to my office after about fifteen minutes.
I say to all of them partially bewildered, "I am shocked at what you have done. This place is classic, cool, luxurious, and has all the amenities we need. I saw the sign for the gym in the basement. Very nice. It shouldn't be a long commute either. I love this place. I have never seen it's equal, especially in the amazing view once the front door was opened. I was speechless."
Vickie asks, "Can we take our man home? I bet he would love something to eat."
We pile into the car and instantly I see smiles on all their faces. I think I have a new house as well. They are poised to scream yet their holding in their excitement. Really, they're all like children right now. It's Christmas morning and they're waiting to open their presents. They suck at their poker faces. I will play along.
We don't turn left to go out the gate. We turn right to go down a road lined with trees. It not long before we turn, and I see an enormous house in front of me.
I shout out, "STOP THE CAR!"
Everyone looks worried. I jump out of the car and look at the magnificent home. It's huge. Three stories, lots of columns, huge windows, and an overhang by the front door, large enough for four cars. That's handy if it's raining or snowing.
Everyone else comes out to look.
Once they're out, I say with amazement in my voice, "That is a magnificent home. It's ... massive."
Mom suggests, "Let's get back in and we'll show you the outside buildings."
