Chapter 26

____________

Sim was done with not only making my hair, but also acting as a makeup consultant, filling me in with all i needed to know about my shade and what products would suit it.

He sort of omitted the truth about his not having completed my new wardrobe session for me when he was talking to his nephew, Ahmed.

Apparently, i needed a change of wardrobe as I'd be frequenting his parents abode alot, and i honestly couldn't argue. Who was i to complain? It meant more inspiration for me, and i could play around with the dresses if i so willed.

I smiled to myself, knowing that his uncle was up to no good. "What was his mum like, Sim?" I asked out of the blue as he swatted through dresses to pick for me.

He raised his head, chewing the insided of his cheeks in thought. I cringed, wondering if i had prodded a bit too much at their personal story.

"I'm sorry, i.. i didn't mean to…—"

"— oh! It's absolutely okay," he cut me off reassuringly. "I just wanted to get my thoughts t

    ______________Chapter 1_________________"The package is in the back of my pickup truck, BE CAREFUL," Hassan shouted from his office. He is the Head manager of SERAMICS' second branch and mini boss to me. He is a tall lanky man with a short temper. He hardly ever smiled and barks more orders than a Caucasian shepherd dog.I was only the secretary– tending to the small errands and records.I humphed as i walked to the truck, Hassan could be a pain in the butt. Although he was nice on some occasions."Don't break anything! Be careful always!" I mimic him as i pull the brown box from the back.I feel a hand grab me suddenly and i scream, releasing the box to catch the hand. I wince at the cracking of ceramics in the box as it hit the floor and spilled out. I whipped around so fast, i feared for my ankles."What are you doing?!" Hassan screamed at me, my hand gripping his wrist."Hassan?" I ask confused. He snuck up on me when he could've just called my name?He couldn't just call my n

    Chapter 2________________ "You made it!" Marwa exclaimed excitedly, throwing herself at Ahmad. He leaned backwards to take in her petite frame, smiling slightly at his sister. Safa hugged him from behind, jumping deliriously too."I thought you weren't going to come, i had almost placed a bet with Marwa that you wouldn't show up." Safa confessed, breathing heavily from jumping so much. She was slightly bigger than her twin– Marwa, and more louder although Marwa is older than her by two minutes.They were both lighter than his brown complexion. Bigger eyes that accentuated their pointed noses and pouty lips, and curly hair that made people mistake them for half castes."What was at stake?" He asked, looking around in search of their parents."Oh, nothing actually– just that slight dignity increase in knowing that i know you like the back of my palm, although that isn't so.. apparently." She answered, frowning slightly at her own realization.Marwa laughed and plopped unto one of the

Not even during his dating spree days back in highschool.He was going to find a woman fit enough to not be dragged down by his family, *'but how?'* he thought.He remembered his friend– Albert saying something about how people upload escort contracts to women on this exclusive site, it's disguise was as a dating site. Maybe he could get his secretary to upload a contract marriage proposal on there.It might not be the same, but he could get lucky. He smiled satisfactorily to himself, it seemed like a sure first resort.He placed a call to becca, his secretary.She picked on the first ring."I want you to write an inviting two paragraph proposal of a contract marriage ready before tomorrow. I want it uploaded as soon as possible, so make no mistake." He demanded, ignoring her greeting. He was well aware of her frivolities on her desktop, he had caught

    ___________Chapter 4.____________ Mandy siddled up to my side after taking a hot bath, just as i suggested. She hugged me from behind and then lay facing up, a slight frown settling in place of her previous smile."What are you going to do now Al?" She asked, really concerned this time.I sigh and pull my weathered old laptop closer. "I'm searching for jobs online, quick paying jobs." I reply her, busy with the keyboard."I can get Hassan to cut my work time so that i can fit another work's shift into my day. It would be hard but i know i can pull it off." I said, determined, and more to myself than her.She smiled reassuringly and sits up. "I'm so sorry about today Allie, i know I'm not the best sister in the world, but i love you– you know that right?" I smile warmly at her. She had her flaws, but i was nothing without her. She reminded me of our mum, fiesty, free, loving."Yes mandy, I'm aware. I'm sorry i said all those things to you earlier, I didn't really mean them– i was

    _________________________________Chapter 5____________I brushed my hand across the keyboard of my laptop and sighed as the message i sent to this anonymous life saver ticked– notifying that it had been sent.It didn't show read, so i waited for a little while, hoping that the letter R would pop up and the typing at the far end of the profile would pick up, but it didn't.I wanted to know if there was going to be a certain dress code or if one could just throw on anything and it would do.After waiting for over thirty minutes, i gave up and resigned to bed, maybe they'd reply later in the day.________________________________________"Wake up Allie! You are going to be late!" Mandy gurgled out with her brush in her mouth dragging the sheets from me and throwing it on the only worn out chair we have.I shrunk and curved into a ball position as the cold breeze of early august morning swept across my skin, "What the h*ll! Mandy!"I whined, stretching my hand in search of the blanket.

    __________________Chapter 6___________"What?""They slipped from my hands and broke. I promise you sir, it wasn't intentional!" I explained, pleading my case.His well defined features slowly morphed into incredulity and anger. He tore the box open to note if i was telling the truth and slouched in dejection, when he saw the contents."Howww, how could you do this?" He accused slowly, and calmly straightening up in his sit to glare at me.I shrinked into my seat at his stare, my neck and feet burning in embarrassment from his stare and regret over what i had done."I'm sorry sir." I whispered lowly, which he heard." Where was Hassan when this happened?" He asked, pushing aside the box of expensive debris.I blinked, thinking fast for a lie to come up with. Hassan must've been the cause of my clumsiness, but that didn't mean he had to go down with me too." Uhm.. he was.. he .. was behind the office! Trying to fix the broken tap. He had sent me to you at the time." I let out with a

    ____________Chapter 7 _______________Allison's POV.I slowly made my way towards SERAMICS 2, deeply sad and exhausted from the burst of adrenaline that rushed through me earlier, and the consequences it bore."Finally! Someone decided to show up at work." I heard hassan say from behind me as i got to my desk."How did yesterday go? Did you see him?" He asked too, his voice unusually low from his typical self.I turned around to face him, my sadness and anger visible. " Yesterday went fine. I saw him today though. I got fired." I confessed."Oh, I'm sorry about that." He said slowly, looking a little remorseful. "I didn't mean for that to....." He trailed of, mumbled incoherently to himself.Why was he acting weird all of a sudden, he felt sympathy for me? I thought he couldn't stand me– besides that, he was the one who commanded me to report myself– i still partially blamed him.I thought to myself as i started packing up."I could, uhm, get you another job somewhere else."

    Chapter 8___________________________________I sighed wistfully and slipped my hands into my jean pockets as i took a walk a few blocks away from where i lived.The evening was cool and although it was almost rush hour– there was some calm to the air. I still hadn't gotten over what had transpired at my now former work place. I squeezed my eyes shut momentarily and rubbed my face in frustration.My phone begins to vibrate in my back pocket, so i quickly slid it out and swiped right before i even got to check the caller ID. It was Hassan."Hello." I hear his voice from the other end– he sounded grim."Hey." I reply, wondering if he's already gotten an available vacancy for me."You've found something for me already?!" I asked expectantly.He sighed, "no, i just want to tell you something." My brows knitted in apprehension.What if he wasn't only going to fire me and is charging me for the losses i had incurred?My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach."What?" I ask softly."Look, yo

"You kids always grow up too fast for me." He added dramatically, raising his hands to his head."That's not why i called you here Simon." Ahmed curtly pointed out, already tired of Simon's gimmicks."And why did you call me here? I thought you wanted to gel with your mother's old time friend like we used to in the olden days." He reckoned.I frowned, wondering how long they've known eachother."I called you here t-.." "..-Heyyy! And who's the pretty lady sitted close to me? You are so gorgeous!" He complimented, cutting Ahmed off remorselessly.I blushed a little, feeling slightly shy over being the focus of attention now."Why, thank you." I murmured softly, chuckling under my breath. This man was a tad overdramatic but i loved it."Oh please honey, don't mention– with beauty like that, people

    Chapter 23___________"Why aren't we discussing on this file then, if that was what brought us here?" I enquired, getting impatient with the silence.He picked up the file and handed it to me, "read it out."He commanded. I blinked, not expecting that."What, you can't read?" I shot at him.He rolled his eyes and ushered me to read on.I opened the first page, "why do i have to read this? Can't you just tell it to me?" I whined, there were only but a few paragraphs in each page."I knew you weren't even going to go through the previous one i gave to you, that's why i brought you here." He reckoned, obviously satisfied with his trick."So there's actually no 'stylist'? You just tricked me into coming here?!" I said a little too loudly.He frowned, pushing his lunch away from him. "No, the stylist is simply late– this was on the schedule too." He explained.I looked wearily at him, not sure if i was to believe his answer."Well then, what's this stylist going to do?"

    Chapter 21_________Thursday came with less drama, i was at work on time and Ahmed was nowhere to be seen, probably booting up his mean-o-meter– i thought.Becca's former desk– now mine, was cleared, so i got to work, arranging my work tools in order.Although it felt weird and maybe unfair that Becca was– in her own perspective, demoted as a secretary from Seramics¹ to a secretary at Seramics²– i understood his reasons for doing so, and a tiny part of me hoped she eventually did too."Ahh, so she finally got what was coming!" I hear someone delightfully exclaim behind me, clapping satisfactorily.I pivoted on my heel to see who it was. A petite middle aged woman in a biege coat, black short skirt and black stockings stood in front of me, her brown hair was packed in a ponytail and it accentuated her face a bit – the door slowly closed behind her.Her eyes glinted in excitement and i wondered why."Uhm, what?" I muttered in confusion."You. You are the new secretary, right?" She asked

He casually commented as we drove out of the place.I raised my hand to cover my mouth with it subconsciously, clearing my throat, mortified."What are you doing looking at my mouth?" I bit out instead.He chuckled and continued to tap on the steering wheel. "What's there not to look at?" He asked softly.I blushed hard, understanding the underlying idea behind his question."You tell me, what's there to look at?" I retorted blandly. The car was beginning to feel hot, and my cheeks were itching just as much as i was chewing on them.He simply shrugged and continued to drive. Abruptly ending the conversation.I brought out my phone to use to drown out the awkward silence that had since befallen us. We didn't speak at all through the ride until he parked right be
