I looked at the paper in my hands again, you know, just to know if I had read right. Transfer?? Why would they transfer me? I mean it's not yet time to be transferred. I'd have to go resume there tomorrow. Oh god and it was not just any department, the boss' office was there. I would have to do my work strictly and make no mistakes. There, I won't be able to get any help from Jake or Yvonne because it's a bit far from their offices. My alarm suddenly went off startling me. 06:00 pm I kept the paper back in the envelope and placed it inside my bag. I stood up and arranged my things before going over to the curtains to lock them. I took my bag and walked out of the office, I'm going to miss it, I can't believe this would be the last time I'm going to be here. "Hey, my car broke down. Can you give me a ride?" I heard Yvonne say, immediately after I got out of the office. "Sure," I replied with a sly smile. "How was work today?" She asked as we walked towards my car. We got in befo
I sighed swirling around with my office chair. it's been a boring day, I must say. I haven't done any work because Mr Kings is not at work, and there was no paperwork for me. My office phone rang, I picked up the phone to answer it. "Yes-" the person cuts me off. "...file 245." He said and the call died. Rude. But when did he get there though? I could swear he wasn't in his office 10mins ago. I stood up and walked to the filing cabinet. After a minute of searching, I found it. I got out of my office to Mr King's office. He sat on his chair, his eyes solely on the paper before him. "Here's the file, sir." I gave it to him, and I turned around to go back to my office. My computer beeped, and I looked at it. Oh, thank god! At least, I've got something to do. ~ I looked at the time. Noon. I sighed. My door opened, revealing Yvonne, I beamed. "Oh thank god you came," I said and she giggled. She sat down in the chair opposite me. "Did you get his call?" She asked I raised an eyebr
I sat down on my office chair and Yvonne sat on the chair opposite me. My heart was still beating fast, I stood up to go take a bottle of water before coming back to sit down. "Are you sure you're okay? You look..." "I am. Anyways, thanks for coming." I said smiling, and she returned the smile. Like that, we talked, exchanging stories and all. "Did you hear about the party Mr Kings is holding?" She asked. I didn't hear about it and even if I did I wasn't going to go. I know she would go. "No, I didn't," I replied. "Now that you heard, are you going to go?" "No, I'd rather stay at home, wait... Is it a day party or a night one?" "A night party and it's okay, I understand why you can't come so I won't pressure you." She said giving an understanding nod. "Thank you," I muttered. This is so unlike her though, being her normal self, she'd give me reasons to go. But I'm glad she understands this time. "No problem, so... How is your job here?" She asked. "It's okay, I haven't had much
Oh my. I shouldn't have come to this party. There were so many eyes staring in our direction. I looked down unable to look at the people. I snapped my head up when I heard a clash of broken glass. The broken glass was next to Mr Kings, maybe he had mistakingly dropped it. His eyes were right at me, and I looked down again. "Let's go in." I heard Jake's voice, really close to my ear. I nodded and we walked in. He was going towards where Mr Kings was. Oh god, what's he going to do there? They are friends remember? I sighed walking along with him, we soon reach there and we untangled our hands. "Jake! My man!" A dude in a grey suit said, he hugged Jake patting his back. "Who is the beautiful lady?" Another guy with a dark red suit asked him. "Ah, this is Tessa, my girlfriend," Jake said making me gasp. Hitting him, I said. "No, I'm, not." "...yet," Jake said, I noticed who he was looking at. Mr Kings. His eyes were solely on Mr Kings when he said that. What game was he playing? S
Dancing with Jake felt like I was walking in the sky. Dancing with Austin felt like- well I don't know, it's a feeling I can't explain. Shut up. I can't believe I was dancing with Mr Kings. Yvonne should have been the one in my place right now. She'd be so happy to be in my place right now. I was a bad friend. I shouldn't have accepted this dance. I closed my eyes hoping it would be over soon. It seems god answered my prayers because the dance got over. I stepped back awkwardly. "I uh, I have to go," I said turning around only to see Jack. "Do you know where Yvonne walked off to?" I asked. He nodded, but his eyes weren't on me, but on Austin. "Where?" "She went towards the bar." "Where is the bar?" "The door opposite." He replied. "Thank you, I'd talk to you... Later." I said walking off to the door. Turning the door knob. I noticed the room was dimmed lit. Not many people were in it. I entered looking around for Yvonne, but she was nowhere to be seen. I searched harder, and I
After 5mins of searching and still couldn't find it, I decided to call Mr Kings. I walked to my table and took my office phone to call him. It rang twice before he took the call. "I'm sorry sir, but I couldn't find the file." He hesitated before he replied. "What do you mean? You've checked the safe?" He asked. I checked well. I checked all the file cases. "Yes sir," I replied. The call went dead. Seriously? Is that how to end a call where he came from? He should have said 'okay, thank you or something like that. My office door suddenly flung open. Mr Kings walking in startled me. He didn't even glance at me, he walked to the file safe and started looking at every file. Ha! He is not going to see it. What was he thinking? That he would find it and then insult me? I walked toward him. I was at his back watching him find the file. He suddenly stopped. He turned around facing me with the file in his hand. My eyes widened. I could swear I searched hard and didn't see that. He glare
I got to my car and drove to my house. I looked at the time 4:30 pm. I drove for 10mins before reaching my place. As usual, the house was noisy from Anne's screams. I opened the door to see Anne running everywhere in the house, Zara ran behind her. She stopped when she noticed my presence. "Mommy!" Anne shouted running towards me. I bent down and opened my arms for her to come in. Running into my arms, she hugged me. I missed her so much. "How are you baby?" I asked. "Pine." She replied grinning, showing her small set of teeth. "What were you guys doing?" I asked her. "Playing, come mommy." She replied inviting me to play with them. And just like that, we played. We were technically running around the house. After some time, I asked Zara to go home and asked if she could spend the tonight with Anne. She happily agreed. That didn't stop Anne from playing though. Anne's giggles filled the house. Giggling along with her, we fell on the couch. "Baby?" I called sitting up. "Yes, mo
I followed her through the mob of sweaty bodies. We stopped after a minute of walking. "Cris!" Yvonne exclaimed hugging a guy. He had dirty blond hair, he wore a white tee shirt, blue jeans trousers and white converse on... And has tattoos and piercings practically all over his body... Except for his neck and face. I never knew she follows Gothic people. He was pretty good-looking. "Happy birthday!" She exclaimed again. "Thanks." He replied and nodded his head towards me. "She's Tessa, the girl I told you about." "Oh? I didn't expect her to be this pretty." Cris said. I saw Yvonne roll her eyes. Maybe it was just my imagination. "I'm Cris, it's a pleasure to meet you." He introduced himself. I nodded my head. No need to introduce myself, right? Yvonne already did. "Nice to meet you too." "Okay! Enough with the pleasantries! Let's party!" It wasn't Yvonne nor was it Cris, but a young lady who had so many tattoos on her. She started jumping around. Okay, I felt highly uncomfort
