“Get out!” Jocelyn ordered..
Iris frowned, what’s the problem with her. She barely knew her from anywhere so why was she acting rude towards her?
โMiss, I have been employed and the boss said we’d be sharing an office.. I guess that’s my desk over thereโ Iris said pointing at the desk behind Jocelyn, that sat at the end of the cubicle.
Jocelyn swallowed hard.. what’s wrong with her? Why is she acting strange? Maybe she felt this lady might be a threat to her getting the boss’s attention. She still stood at Iris’s way until the telephone rang.
She shot Iris a ‘don’t move’ glare and walked to her desk.
She heaved as she picked up the telephone..
๐ I sent a lady over? Has she settled down? Bradley asked sarcastically and Jocelyn shuddered.
โBoss..โ she muttered and Iris’s eyes widened.
๐ I know how sassy you can be Jocelyn.. you don’t wanna be in my bad book. His voice came cold and beads of sweat formed on Jocelyn’s temple. The last thing she wanna lose now is her job.
โYes sir.. โ her voice came faint and Iris took in a deep breath.
๐Help the lady settle in.. he said and the call disconnected. Jocelyn placed her hand on her chest and closed her eyes taking a deep breath. How does he manage to make all workers scared? Or maybe because they’ve never seen him smile?
But still she found herself attracted to him.. she opened her eyes and shot a glare at Iris which she quickly conceal with a smile.
โMake yourself comfortableโ she muttered as she sat on the swivel chair fixing her eyes on her screen.
Iris shrugged and walked past her.. she was sure that there was a camera installed in the office, if not how would the boss get to know?
She never cared to know about the lady.. she was rude and that’s one thing she’d pin her with.
She settled on her desk, turned on her laptop and started the day’s work.
Bradley heaved as he rested his back on the chair staring at his phone.. it was another threat note.
He switched off his phone and left it on the desk. He closed his eyes searching for a clue about who would want to take his life but as usual.. it was blank, he had no idea. As much as he had few friends, he was sure he’d had no enemy.. or maybe that’s what he’d thought until recently.
He clenched his fists… he opened his eyes and sat upright and his thoughts slowly drifted to her..
Why does he feel like he’d known her from somewhere? He turned on his laptop and made his way to a particular folder. He clicked on it and the footage of their office came on.
She was timid.. so fragile to let Jocelyn intimidate her, he knew better now.
He rested his fingers under his chin as he watched keenly.. his eyes focused on Iris. She was less busy considering the fact that it was all a favor, she was supposed to work harder.
He picked up the telephone and dialled her desk number, he watched as she carefully picked the telephone before placing it on her ear. He rolled his eyes..
โSort out the files of Maggie’s glow, get new designs and fixed an appointment with Maggie..โ he said and she nodded before clearing her throat lightly.
โYes sir.. โ
โI believe you know what to do.. don’t mess this upโ he said grumpily.
โYes sir.. I.. I would try my bestโ she muttered
โDon’t try.. doโ he said and she nodded again before speaking.
โWhen is my appointment with Cullen’s fashion gram? โ he asked and she peered closely at her system. He could see Jocelyn shooting her a glare.
โBy 2 sirโ she replied and he disconnected the call. She frowned staring at the telephone before putting it down. She turned to the computer getting to work immediately.
He smirked.. he stood up and reached for his suit hanging on his chair, he brushed his hair backwards with his fingers before checking his wristwatch. It was almost 2.
He headed out of the office heading to the meeting room.

โMy mummy prepared muffins, and I have a milkshake.. I won’t mind sharing with youโ Anna said holding up her lunch bag dangling it in front of her friend.
โI would be fineโ Trish muttered clutching her stomach as pangs of hunger hit her hard.
โDo you wanna die? C’mon eatโ Anna urged as she placed her lunch bag in front of Trish and started emptying the contents.
Trish’s mouth watered as she stared at the appetizing lunch in front of her, Anna gave a wide gummy grin and extended one of the muffins to her.
โDon’t say noโ she whined and Trish looked around before grabbing the muffin from Anna. Anna smiled as she watched her devour it hungrily.
She placed her hand on her chin watching her friend with interest.
โStop starving yourself.. see, you’re getting lean. Don’t you eat at home?โ she asked and Trish paused, her mouth filled as her eyes met with Anna’s.
She slowly pushed the half eaten muffin down her throat.
โWhat? Don’t stop eating, have moreโ Anna urged pushing the entire plate to Trish, she grabbed the milkshake and shrugged.
โI will just have this, I ain’t hungry anyway” she muttered while Trish stared at her quietly.
โWhat? our teacher would be coming soon.. hurry and eatโ Anna said glancing at the door.
Trish dived her little fingers into the plate grabbing a muffin which she shoved into her mouth hungrily.
Trish Diego, a 3 year old.. was less a talker though she was good friends with Anna who did all the talking. She never talked about her family but from the looks of things, one would know the girl wasn’t okay.. Anna could sense it but decided to remain mute about it.
She took a sip of her milkshake, her eyes fixed on Trish.. she blinked, maybe she’d tell Auntie Megan to pack a double lunch for her, so she could share with Trish…

โDon’t tell me you’re not over your daughter?โ A woman in her early thirties asked with an eye roll and her husband just sighed.
โShe’s my heir.. I need to look for herโ The man said and the woman scoffed.
โBut I have my boys.. โ she shrugged and the man shot her a glare.
โThey’re not my children..โ he stated bluntly and the woman rolled her eyes mumbling something incoherent to herself.
โMaybe, if you had not pushed her away.. my daughter would had still been hereโ The man said getting on his feet, the woman looked away angrily.
โI’m gonna find my daughter at all costsโ he muttered before walking away, the woman’s eyes followed him till he was outta sight.
She smirked..
โLet’s see if you’d be alive to do that.. โ she muttered.

It was past close time already, most of the workers had retired home leaving only a handful which disappeared one after the other until there was one left… Iris.
Iris yawned for the umpteenth time that day as she searched the systems cluelessly for new designs. She’d successfully sorted Maggie’s glow files and setting an appointment but she couldn’t get the new designs. And Jocelyn wasn’t ready to help either.
In fact, she’d closed for the day since 5.. she wanted to put a call to the boss and probably tell him she couldn’t find any design. But then.. this job was just a favor.
She was happy she got Megan to tend for Anna.. though she felt sorry, she wasn’t able to spend quality time with her daughter. It was all about work. But she needed to make a living, she’d been living with Megan for close to 4 years.
Her phone rang jolting her.. she reached for it and placed in at her ears without checking the caller.
โWhere the hell are you Iris!?โ
She pulled the phone from her ear and stared at the caller before sighing softly.
โI’m still at work Meggie.. I have some things to sort out, I would be home soonโ she said tiredly and Megan scoffed.
โWho the hell gives a load of work to an employee on their first day? โ she asked and Iris yawned.
โIt’s not a big deal.. I would soon be done okay?โ
โWish I could meet that boss of yours, he is a d^ckhead!โ..
