Office Enemy

Alessia’s Point Of View:

“You’re new here so you’re supposed to do what everyone says you to do.” The demanding voice of Amelia, who’s the property manager of the company again filled my ears.

I didn’t bothered myself to reply and instead went back to my chair, facing my desk with a pile of papers.

Madame Clayton give me this papers earlier, she demonstrated what to do and how to do it and when will the deadline of each papers and after that, she left me, not ensuring me if I really get what she said.

I wiped the sweat on my forehead and neck and took a handful of my hair and tied it using the scrunchie that my father gave before giving my whole attention on the papers, clearly ignoring Amelia’s presence.

“I’m talking to you!” She hissed in annoyance and pushed my slightly bowed forehead using her fingers to force me to look at her.

Irritated with what she did, I slapped her hand making her winced with pain.

I raised my gaze to her and narrowed my eyes. I lowered my brows, showing her my tight-slipped smile.

“Can’t you see I’m working?” Pressing my lips together, I rapsed. “Why don’t you do that on your own?” I added, really pissed off of what she has been doing to me these passed hours.

Amelia did nothing but to make my first day a hell.

She requested me to print all her papers. I was willing to do it with a light heart but then, seeing her smirk and telling me that the printers on the third floor is the whose available, I nearly slapped the bunch of papers to her face.

I was beyond mad carrying the two piles of papers that I printed when some of my office mates said that the printers aren't really broken. It’s Amelia who just made it up to make me go down on the third floor.

Pissed and irritated, I managed to put the papers on the top of her desk and was about to excuse myself when again, she demanded me with a new request.

Compiling and arranging all the title of the papers from A-Z!

I would not supposed to do it but still forced myself because I’m still new here and I want to make a good impression to everyone, but I swear, this bitch is making me have a bad impression about this whole damn company.

I got to finished her works on time yet she still have one last command!

After with exchanges of words, I was forced to go down floor to buy her a meal, for pete’s sake.

I was supposed to be fine with it since I’m considering that she may be just exhausted today but can’t able to hide my anger anymore when I realized that the restaurant she’s talking about is a series of building away from the company.

I want to take a cab but I don’t have money for that. I didn’t put any budget to that.

Walking in a cold weather, I successfully bought her meals.

At this point, I can’t handle my anger anymore. I just want to pull her hair out of this building.

“Huh!” She scoffed in a sarcastic way. “Do you really think that I’m buying that? Only if I know, you seduced sir Yadiel just so you can ride in his car. You poor bitch!” She fumed with a nasal voice.

She really did those things to me just because I’m with Yadiel inside his car? Alone? What the fucking hell is she thinking?

If she’s jealous, I have nothing to do with it because she’s not even Yadiel’s girlfriend. In fact, he even barely know that she existed so why is this girl flipping one’s lid at me?

“What did you call me?” I gritted my teeth and my brows made a line as I glared at her.

My blood instantly boiled when I saw her lopsided smile and just before I can lift my hand to slap Amelia, a woman who I think was just came passing by pulled Amelia’s hair with so much intensity.

She shouted in pain as she tries to push the woman away. The woman gave her a mischievous smirk, watching her suffer in pain and pulled Amelia’s hair as if she’s just pulling a sack with a pile of pebbles.

They were now both down on their knees as the woman keeps pulling her hair to the floor, showing no mercy and not even a hint of remorse.

The woman’s jaw locked when Amelia burried her long nails on the back of its palm causing her to release some strands of Amelia’s hair.

Not before the woman noticed, Amelia then pulled her hair as the woman pulls her hair.

The necklace of Amelia who I think is luxurious that was made by pearls and crystals divided into pieces just before the woman pulled it. The jewels immediately scattered through the wide hallway and rolls themselves in different directions.

That’s when I realized that I was just watching them fight in front of me as if it’s a normal thing.

Panicky and a bit nervous, I ran my way to them and forced them to let go of each other.

Chest doing aggressive ups and down, catching their own breaths and fists were clenched, they narrowed their eyes to each other while gritting their teeth.

“How dare you!” The voice of Amelia thundered the quiet hallway and pointed her fingers at the woman causing me to see her now broken nails.

Her hair is a mess and her make-up smudged her face. Even the fake eyelash on her left eye suddenly disappeared.

“How dare you, too!” The woman shouted back and was about to pull Amelia’s hair again but immediately stopped when I blocked my arms against her body. “Fucking bitch,” she spat instead.

It’s again the time when Amelia’s blood boils and was about to slap her when I hurriedly stomps my feet towards her back and pulled her hair instead. I crumpled her hair inside my fist like a tight ball and dumped her to the floor.

She lost her balance and nearly fell, good thing her hands were fast to hold on my desk for support.

The woman gasped in shock and parted her lips in amusement. I was also shock with the fact that I did that out of my consciousness causing me to stop midway.

Amelia did nothing but to held her chest because of the raging breathings before looking at us with her sharp glare.

“Fuck you, newbies!” She cursed, her veins were throbbing in her neck as she squinted her eyes on us.

With a heavy heart, she turned her back stomps her feet all the way through the long hallway while fixing her hair with so much annoyance.

Unconsciously my eyes went from Amelia’s back and stopped at the woman. We both stared at each other seeing no emotions as our head synchronized and glanced back at Amelia before looking again at each other.

As if, we read each other’s mind, we both let out a long and contagious laughs as we both hit each other’s shoulders out of disbelief.
