A month later,
Eiden threw the file on the floor in frustration, "What are you doing, boss?" His secretary entered the room with another set of files, Eiden yelled in frustration, "Take that away from my eyes!"
"They're due tomorrow, so you need to have a look at them by today," His secretary argued.
"Argh!" He pulled his hair in frustration. "Should I just quit this all and just be a book store owner?" He asked his secretary with a serious look on his face.
"You don't have the luxury to play hooky," His secretary replied with a straight face.
"Look at this, we were supposed to go out on a date but I have this amount of work" He looked at the stacks of files on his table, "she flatly rejected me" He complained.
"I'm glad that she is a good influence on you," Jerry smiled at him.
"Excuse me?" Eiden narrowed his eyes at him.
"I mean I have a good idea, boss," His secretary cleared his thr
"Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle all the way...."Christmas was right around the corner and the city was filled with snow, decorated by lights and Christmas carol masked the street noise.On her way home, Arielle spotted a small shop at the end of the alley, "hmm was this shop always here?" She stared at the shop for a moment. She always walked through the street, it was her way home which she knew by heart but it was strange that she didn't notice the shop here before, she thought.
When Arielle opened her eyes, she was standing in front of a book shop."Where the hell am I? How did I reach here?" She frowned at the unknown surroundings."I was inside my room, I was writing the new chap and then I fell asleep." She tried to recollect, she noticed that she was still in her sweatpants and the jumper she wore last night. "Where the heck is this place? How did I even reach here?" She looked around her surroundings.She turned around to see a port
"Wait! No! I mean..." She shook her head in denial when she heard the weirdest thing. She ran outside the gate and looked at the company logo, 'RC' "You must be kidding me!"No, no, this ain't possible. It's just too absurd! How? Why? She paced back and forth. But... all the incidents ran through her mind, a locality she didn't recognize, clothes she didn't buy, her cards being rejected, the single-storied convenience store, encountering Reece Brown, her office had RC logo... O wait! This must be a dream, yes I must be dreaming, the last thing I remember, I was in my room and then I fell asleep, yes that's it, I am dreaming. She pinched herself to the point it hurt and she almost bled. "Why is it not working?" She panicked.&
"Oh my god! I can't believe it!!" She laughed and danced around happily."Oh good for you, Iva, or whatever your name is...please leave." He looked scared and he wanted her out, it was final, she was a weirdo and he didn't want to have anything to do with her."My name is not Iva... or maybe it is." She giggled. "Aaaaa!" She shouted excitedly.Sound of something grumbling interrupted her happy dance, it grumbled again, her stomach, "Ah! I'm so hungry!" She sighed
As expected her interviews didn't go well, "Why didn't I get the job? Because I'm going to get it at RC." She sighed. "And when will that be?"..."I don't know. Why can't you hire me sooner?" She complained looking at Reece's picture on her laptop. "Forget about hiring they haven't even announced the vacancy yet, Can't the story go a Lil' faster? Like when I open my eyes I've already gotten the job?" She rolled her eyes, she then looked at her wallet on the side, "I'm running out of money!" She hung her head."No, lift your spirit, Elle. At this rate you'll starve to death before starting your story with Reece, no, no, you can't let that happen. Let's look for a part-time for the time being." She patted her shoulder. "Let's go
Arielle was cleaning the floor humming to herself, "There," Her pricky boss pointed from his chair."Where?" She looked around if she missed a spot."At the corner." He pointed.She rolled her eyes, "I know, I'm getting there first let me finish this area?""You're slow, at this rate you won't be able to finish by the openi
"Why? She?What the hell?" Her eyes widened as she witnessed an unimaginable thing, "Wait! Why am I... Why're there two me?" She blinked. As far as she remembered, she didn't have a twin sister then who was the girl at her desk?"Am I hallucinating?" She rubbed her eyes to see again, just then someone tapped on her shoulder, she yelped. She then turned to see a girl trying to get her attention, "Are you okay?" The girl asked with concern, her Id card hung down her neck, displaying her name, 'Susanne Cruz'"I don't know," she shook her head, "Oh wait, do you see me there? Am I sitting there?" A
Arielle shut the door immediately when she spotted the girl who was a mirror image of hers, “What the hell?” Her brain tried to process the entire information, “She’s Iva? There’s a real Iva?” She panicked. She then heard the girl mutter, “Someone’s there,”“Let me check,” She heard the guy speak.“Wait, Joe, it’s dangerous, let’s call the police,” Iva suggested.
