The bell rang and I genuinely loved that interruption. David was new around here, so we don’t talk. He was employed weeks ago. The only person I talked to once in a while was Zion, but she betrayed me.I saw the gossips in the office private group chat about her being sanctioned, because she was guilty. It wasn’t my thing to talk in group chats and so I left their chattering.‘We will talk later, Mrs. Renee’ He winked at me. It felt strange that he reminded about my husband, Xavier. But Xavier was better at it, his made me falter.I dropped the coffee cup into the stainless sink of the kitchen, and turned on the water tap creating a hissing noise. I cleaned the coffee cup, turning it down. It was a rule that workers clean the stuffs they use after usage.Back in the office, I scrolled through my own desktop, checking my work email to know if I have been assigned more tasks or not.EMAIL: A reminder to complete your previous task. The retrieved sketch is right in the right drawer.I h

'Renee. Reneee,' he called my name out, but I was silent. 'We are humans. We all have emotions and doubt is inevitable. Although, it hurts that you doubt me, I wouldn’t lie.'

I gazed into his eyes; those unspoken words already meant something to me. ‘I have a surprise for you’ He said, turning his gaze towards his car. I pushed myself forward slightly, trying to squint myself to see it. I didn’t see nothing; I couldn’t catch a glimpse of anything at all. Xavier is always full of surprise isn’t it. ‘I guess your surprise would forever keep coming. Keep it coming’ I said softly, turning my chin upward. My tone going low ‘What surprise is it this time around?’ I asked raising my legs, so that
