It was past seven in the night and Elizabeth wondered when Mathew was going to come back. Mirabel and her had gotten along at the early stage but things later got boring and awkward for the both of them that it felt as if she was forcing conversation which she hated.She had watched movies with Mirabel at some point but wasn't so interested in it as she wasn't a big fan of TV compared to Victoria. She checked her phone numerous times to see if she'd get any message from Victoria but she got none and she began to worry. Victoria had always texted her no matter what. She texted Victoria two hours ago but hasn't gotten a reply even when she could see Victoria was online.Heaving a sigh for the umpteenth time, she decided to ask Mirabel the question that has been in her mind since morning. "So Mirabel, when is your brother coming back?" She asked, trying not to sound curious.Mirabel looked at the wall clock. "I'm not sure. He doesn't come back home at a specific time. Most times he's ea

Victoria happily strode into the office. Last night, she managed to completely install the program that had kept her in the office for longer than she should have throughout last week."Good morning." Vivian greeted, noticing the smile on Victoria's face."Good morning." Victoria replied, still smiling."You seem to be in a rather good mood? You got laid last night?" Vivian spoke sheepishly, making Victoria's eyes widen.Victoria chuckled at Vivian's words. She had only known Vivian for a week and she was glad Vivian, unlike the others, was friendly to her and tried to engage her in little conversations."Not...no...I mean not at all!" She exclaimed playfully.Vivian raised her brows at Victoria in a shocking manner. "You sure? Your attitude says another and your words say another too." she teased.Victoria laughed. "But seriously I wasn't laid. I'm serious, cross my heart." She said."Okay if you say so. So what's making you so happy today?" Vivian asked."Well, I successfully finish

Victoria's eyes blinked upon hearing Mr Smith's words. "Uh?" She was confused.Mr Smith sighed. "Are you daft? It seems you are because you like people repeating words for you before you can understand them, right?" His brows raised in a questioning manner.She felt shivered down her spine, hearing him speak with his accent. She would have fainted from loving the sound if she wasn't strong enough.She shook the thoughts off. "I'm sorry, I heard you well sir." She spoke.Mr Smith clicked his tongue. "Tsk, tsk tsk." He wakes closer to her. "You tend to say sorry alot. More like you do no Know when to use that word." He said to her, now standing closer to her than he was before.She hiccupped from his close proximity. "Cat caught your tongue Mr Perkins?" He asked, his voice suave more than ever."No! No sir!" She exclaimed in shock. She felt so hot from his presence. She suddenly felt her mouth dry and the urge to drink water arose."Ms Perkins, are you sure you heard everything I spoke

Victoria walked back into the office with the bag in her hands. She wasn't angry but sad. She felt so welcomed by everyone and when she had a bit of hope, Mr Smith quenched it.Clara told her Mr Smith saw something in her for him to put her as a part of the new programming team but after what he did, she couldn't tell if Clara was correct or not because Mr Smith just like the others at Smith Technologies made her feel unwelcomed.All her life, she dreamt of working at Smith Technologies. She studied harder and did a lot of research, participated in competitions to be a better version of herself and atlas when she got it, it turned out to be the opposite of all she imagined.Victoria raised her head up only to see people in the office looking at her in a way she didn't understand while whispering something to themselves. She could tell it was about her as they didn't pretend to be talking about anyone but what bothered her was; what had she done this time.She could see them glancing a

Victoria could not walk around without being reminded of the false rumors that went about. Everyone looked at her as if she had defecated on her body while whispering words to themselves. At first she tried shrugging it off but the constant bickering and scornful looks made it hard for her to ignore."I always knew she came into the company with connections. I mean over a hundred candidates and she made the top three and as if that wasn't obvious, she got to be a part of the new programming team in less than two days in the company." Victoria heard a lady she has never seen her life say.She blinked her eyes fighting the tears that threatened to come out. She didn't expect her name to have gone this far in the company. People from other departments now knew her and they knew her not because she was capable but because of the false rumors that went around.It hurt her so much. They couldn't pretend to even like her, not as if that would be better but at last she would be able to walk a

Elizabeth tossed and turned on her bed as she stared at her phone constantly. It's been over a week yet she got no calls or texts from Mathew. She wondered what he could be doing that would make him forget her and the help she had given his sister.She wanted to text him at one point but went against it as she felt she was doing too much for a man's attentions.she groaned in frustration when she got nothing from him. She thought he felt the same thing she felt for him but now she was having two thoughts about him.She wondered if he did but had been so busy or caught up in a pile of work which was why he hadn't contacted her because she could swear that he also felt the spark she felt.He has told her to contact him when she was less busy so he could take her out for dinner and although she had a day off two days ago, she didn't contact him to tell him so. She expected him to come into her Dm or call her on the phone to ask about her schedule.She was frustrated. Deciding to drop her

'I will pick you up by eight tonight.'Elizabeth could not stay focused at work today as the last message she received from Mathew filled her head. She didn't know if she should call it a date or not but she was happy that they would get to see each other after a week.She had decided to go out I stead of waiting for the day she'd get an off so she could have dinner with him. She was never one to make first move when it comes to matters of the heart. She felt Mathew like her in the same way she does because he asked if she was free today when she reminded him of the dinner plans they had.She prayed for the day to move faster but instead the day went by playfully slow that she almost choked. Anytime she had free moments in the hospital, she would imagine the perfect outfit for the night. She contemplated earlier if she should ask the location so as to know what to wear but she went against that as she didn't want to come out desperate."You did a nice job today Elizabeth." Doctor Stev

We cannot tell what is ahead of what or what is behind us. Life is full of surprises and the things we want are not what we get.Damages could happen and in instance but repair takes process. Victoria wiped the tears that rolled down her cheek, sniffing too.Earlier at the conference room where she had meetings with the other members of the new programming team, she was determined to let her opinion be heard as she felt they were not being broad about their ideas enough and she regrets and at the same time does not regret it.She had interjected when Rebecca spoke to tell them about her ideas but the replies she got proved to her and reminded her that it wasn't that she was incapable but it was their dislike or rather hate for her that has made them not interested in anything she has to say.They didn't want her among them and even if she had the capability, they didn't want to know and I'm other words, they were ignorant as long as it involved her."Excuse you Newbie!" Rebecca had sh

Victoria stood in front of Mr Smith getting no attention from him. After Clara had informed Mr Smith of Victoria's request to see him, he told her to let her in.Victoria prayed within herself, hoping things would go according to plan. Having a good work relationship with your colleagues matters a lot and she was ready to start the basics. She thought of their words and understood that she shouldn't be a part as she was a newbie who needed guidance first.Deborah did make some point but she thought she had spoken with so much disdain and that hurt her. She expected them to have spoken to her in a better way. She planned on also correcting rumors of her and Mr Smith being in a romantic relationship after she has been taken off from the new programming team.She fidgeted with her nails as she watched Mr Smith work. He had told them to let her in but hadn't given her the attention she needed to tell her the reason she had come to see him.She sighed loudly hoping that was enough to tell

Victoria gulped. Mr Smith was standing so close to her that it made her heart race faster than normal. Whenever he was close to her, she had mixed feelings and often fell short of words.She didn't know how but somehow he had a power over her in ways she didn't expect and she wondered how.Me Smith placed both of his hands on his back. "Answer me Ms Perkins." He asked firmly and sternly. Victoria felt shivers down her spine hearing his deep husky voice.Even when his voice was cold or harsh, his accent managed to make her feel different about his attitude. She was startled a bit but recollected herself."Do you feel you are not worthy? Do you feel there are others who are better?" He asked, making emphasis on his every word.She knew she was worthy and she knew she was capable of the responsibilities but for the sake of peace she was willing to sacrifice this opportunity that could help her grow more. It hurt her because after all this year, she was finally at the place she wanted to
