talking behind my back
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56My office was on the eighth floor of the building so I rode the elevator to get there. There was no one inside the elevator when I get there and I thought that I would be riding it all by myself. Yet just as when its door was about to close, a hand stopped it from closing.
Right there and there, a group of employees entered the elevator and unsure of what to do, I tried to turn around. This time, it was my back that was facing them, we were jam-packed inside.
"I heard that Madam Thunderstorm is coming to work today."
I heard someone initiated a conversation and it was received with fervent reaction.
"Are you for real?! That must be awful."

"UHRG! That is an awful way to start the day. I wonder what kind of bad wind that brought her here in this building."<

Out of the countless books in the shelves, she immediately felt drawn to the storybook section. She let her fingers glide on the borders of the book when her eyes landed on a specific book. She took it and there she saw its title that says, The velvet rabbit doll...
