Christmas Advent
Chapter 18-December 18th
Mike sighed in frustration. Since turning in his resignation; the President was making life miserable. It was almost midnight; and Mike was starving. He pulled into his drive and smiled at the box sitting on the porch. While the food might have sat for a bit; it was cold enough and he hoped that there was some. He carried the box in and opened it. On top, there was a note.
"You are working too hard. I'm glad that I was late getting this to you so that you had a good meal. Enjoy. The presents are for under the tree. Get some rest."
Mike carried the presents in, noting that there was some in matching wrapping paper to the ones that had already delivered, and some new wrapping paper. His food; a chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy and corn was heated up and there was a salad and a piece of cheesecake to go along with it.
He ate and washed up the dishes before heading to bed, already hating that he had to be back to work at 0700 the next morning. It would be a short night and the days were very long but there was a light at the end of the tunnel.
