The Life of Eniola (rewriting story)

Chapter 6

It's another day at work and Kianna has started to help me with actual work tasks but not observing people, for once because boy oh boy, that was a tedious experience, therefore I'm happy to say that I'm confident in what I'm doing now. As Elena gets on with her work, Alex's assistant walks into the department and calls out her name, she turns to the voice and walks to him.

"How can I help?"

"Mr Ashton needs you in his office."I look at him and feel confused but follow him anyway.

I enter his office and he swivels his chair around to face me.

"Thank you, Mike. You can leave now."He nods and quietly leaves the room.

"I hear that your work performance is good."I internally roll my eyes, can this man get straight to the point?

He notices I stayed silent and continues to talk.

"Well, Kianna has encouraged me to give you the first official mission."I stifle a laugh, a mission? This isn't a  let's play superhero for a day.

"Kianna? What does she have to do with this?"I ask. He raises his eyebrow.

"I mean is she in charge or something?"

"Yes, in fact, she's the manager of the editorial department."Now that makes sense. After a long talk of him explaining everything, I leave his office. 

I get back to my desk, open up a document and start typing up my plan for my draft. My work here is done and I leave the building, my steps slowly halt as I hear Nikki with a few other of her colleagues, talking about me. From my skin and to my hair. Feeling like my heart is about to explode, I take a deep breath and exhale, thus I decide to confront them.

"What gives you the right to say something so cruel and hurtful?"I point a finger at her face. Nikki turns bright red and her mouth turns into a thin line.

"That's what I thought."I kiss my teeth and walk away, I get inside the car and scream, after a moment, I collect myself and start to play Magic Shop by BTS on the way home.
