Victoria got up from her chair, ready to go meet Mr Smith after being told by Robin he asked for her presence. She wondered what he needed her for and worse, did he notice she came late? She thought to herself."Of course!" She muttered to herself. "He must have noticed you weren't there when he came in as he is still keeping close eyes on you.""Oh Lord help me." She prayed within her.As Victoria approached Mr Smith's office, her palm became sweaty. She wiped her sweaty hands on her skirt as she made advances towards his office. As she stood in front of his office, she took in deep breaths and exhaled before knocking on the door.She mentally prepares herself for the words he'd say to her. She expected to get some scolding from him about her attitude on her first day at work.Just as she stepped into the office after being told to by Mr Smith to come in, she was relieved to see Mr Lucky, Dylan and Rebecca in the office. While Mr Lucky was seated, Rebecca and Dylan stood beside him o
Elizabeth pushed the door back as she stepped into the restaurant. She has been craving crispy chicken since morning and thankfully, she closed early from work and decided to get it for herself."Good evening." She greeted the waiter with a smile on her face."Good evening." He replied with a smile too. Her eyes suddenly landed in the name tag hanging in his left chest. "Martinez. Nice." She complimented.The waiter noticed and smiled at her friendly gesture. "Thanks." He replied."What do you want?" The waiter asked."Can I get a spicy chicken sandwich?" She asked and he nodded his head."I would also like crispy chicken," Elizabeth said to the waiter attending to her."Okay ma'am. Are you eating it here or are you taking it away?" He asked her."I am taking them home." She replied.Just as she waited for her orders, her eyes saw something or rather someone making her heart skip in joy. Coming into the restaurant was Mathew and his younger sister. He stood behind her, guiding her int
Elizabeth woke up with a big smile on her face. She yawned and got off her bed preparing for the beautiful day ahead. She had found it hard to sleep last night as the thoughts of spending time with Mathew filled her thoughts. Elizabeth hummed a melodious song in her head as she blew her hair with the hand dryer. She stood in front of the mirror, admiring her face. She already knew what she was going to wear today as she had planned them last night.After applying body lotion on her body, she put on her underwear before wearing her favourite nude colour body hug dress that fitted her body perfectly.Feeling satisfied with herself, she left the house with high expectations for the day.Elizabeth came down from the Uber before paying the driver. She brought out her phone from her purse to look at the address again to know if it was the right one Mathew had sent to her. It was the address indeed and the Uber driver had inputted the address in his Google map before driving so he definite
Elizabeth smiled once she got Mirabel's attention. She had expected it to be hard before but now she could say it wouldn't. "Yes. The biggest boy group and girl group in the world. They are literally the most talked about. Asian artists are suddenly dominating, that's wow!" She said."I know right. Listening to them makes me happy even if I do not understand most of what they say. It's like I could relate to them and understand them. Whenever I'm bored or sad, I watch their music videos and I feel happy." She confessed."Well, don't we all?" Elizabeth said."I mean I so much love How you like that and permission to dance. I dance to them everytime I hear them." Elizabeth confessed."Me too! I enjoy them so much!" Mirabel added."I was never a fan of them until my best friend. My best friend literally forced me to listen to their songs and I fell in love with it. I would have to admit I am not really a huge fan of Kpop as much as her." Elizabeth tells Mirabel."That's really nice. I ho
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
