The Unfinished Cup

I’m doing well, Steve. Thank you for asking.

The office is quiet, but productive. There’s a cup of tea on your desk that’s still half-full. Nobody touched it. We’re keeping it like that until you come back to finish it yourself. It’s a small thing, but it reminds us: some things wait for their owner.

Lagos was steady this week. No surprises, no drama. I signed off the delivery, closed the vendor loop, and made sure payroll went out on time. The team is working like you’re watching, even though you’re not in the room. That’s the culture you built, sir.

I hope you’re doing well too. I hope your food is warm, your nights are peaceful, and your mind is off email for a bit. Rest is also work when you’re the one carrying the weight.

_Que sera, sera._ Whatever will be, will be. We’re not chasing what isn’t ours to chase today. We’re faithful with what’s in front of us.

Your name is still strong here. Your seat is still yours. The cup is still waiting.

Come back when you’re ready. We’ll heat the tea fresh, but we won’t throw away what you left behind.
