Chapter three
The presentation.
The got home all worn out and tired. It's been a month since they've been working at Gerald communication. And there's isn't a day that they will come home feeling energetic. They were always tired. Working at that company required a lot of hard work and dedication. No wonder they company was doing well in sales. They're staff are quite competent.
They all went into their rooms to relieve themselves of the sweaty clothes. Summer was fast approaching and everywhere was getting hot and stuffy.
Mera went into her room and took off her clothes , headed into the bathroom for a cold soothing shower. She came out much better and relieved.
She put on a pair of cotton short and some crop top. She lay down on her bed and thought about ways to go about the report that she had to submit the next day.
She was part of the accounting personnel. They had been asked to come up with a good money management plan. Owing to the fact that the company wasn't very long in business.
It wasn't a very hard thing to do but she's really tired. She came to a conclusion
Take a rest , then start the research
With that notion in mind she fell into a tired sleep.
*************
Emily woke up feeling hungry as ever. She got up and went into the kitchen to see if there's anything to eat .
After a few shuffling around the kitchen without seeing any appetizing food to cook. She decided to settle for noodles and scrambled egg.
She began the process of chopping the vegetables and onions.
How did Hana use to do this??
Ouch !! She exclaimed. This onion stings. She was crying and her eyes were beginning to itch her which she wouldn't dare rub. Especially with the onion juice on her hand.
A few minutes later she finished cooking and dishes the food on the dining table.
She went inside Mera and hana's room to wake them up since it was getting late and the sky was getting a little dark. She entered into hana's room and almost burst into laughter.
The sight presented at her was so hilarious that she couldn't help but smile.
Hana was sleeping in some weird position with drool coming out her mouth and making the pillow wet.
She stealthily grabbed her phone from her pocket and took a picture of her.
Great. She'll blackmail Hana into helping her with some chores . She giggled as she went out of her room and walked slowly into Mera's room.
She burst into laughter, unable to control herself from doing do.
Mera's hair was.all over the place . Her curly hair was sprawled over the pillow and her top was half opened exposing bits of cleavage.
She took a picture of her in the hilarious position and was covering her mouth with her hand to avoid her from laughing out laugh.
She went downstairs again and grabbed a stainless plate and a spoon . She clinged the two together producing a loud noise .
" Get your ass down here, before the food gets cold. " She shouted from where she stood.
Mera and Hana came down shortly after, .they both gave her a glare and she smiled sweetly at them.
Maybe a little too sweet. Sacharrined smile
They finished eating and went into the living room. Emily switched on the television and resume the show that they were watching .
Mera stood up swiftly and went into her room. She came out with her laptop and some textbooks.
Few minutes later Emily and Hana went into their room leaving Mera alone in the living.
Mera sorted through the internet and her textbooks coupled with her own knowledge, she was finally able to come up with a tangible report.
She sighed tiredly and closed her laptop.
Phewww. She was done.
**************
Morning came and they all finished up quickly and headed out to the office.
Mera rubbed her clammy palms together in nervousness. Her heart was beating so hard and fast that she feared that she would have a heart attack before her time to present comes.
Not that she hadn't prepare the best report that she probably could. It's just that she had a problem with talking in front of many people.
Heaven help her if she stuttered.
She would desperately prayed for the ground to open up and swallow her.
She repeated her speech in her head for the nth time today.
She smoothened the crease of her skirt and went into the meeting room.
She checked the name tag of those who are supposed to present for today and ohhh
She's the third person.
She sat down and exhale a lung full of air out from her mouth and hoped that her heart would stop hammering inside her ribcage.
Tough luck.
A few minutes later. She heard the sentence that she had been dreading
" Miss Mera Edward you're next"
Just has she had thought that her heart couldn't beat faster. It felt as if it was about to burst out of her ribcage.
She willed her shaky legs and moved towards the podium.
She let out a breathe and grabbed the mic.
She stuttered a bit at first but the reaction she got from the crowd kept her going.
They were all silent and listening with rapt attention.
Her presentation was about to end when the door burst open revealing a tall and very handsome man that had all heads snapped towards the direction of the door.
His gait was confident and calculated . His hair was parted sideways and he removed his sunglasses revealing a pair of sparkling obsidian orbs that had mischief and mystery in them.
He took a seat at the front and motioned for her to continue with his hand.
His gaze never left hers, causing Mera to resume stuttering a few times at least before her presentation came to an end
