As I am getting more and more close to the day of the pitch presentation, I am feeling extremely nervous. I walk into the department and sit down in the chair, just as I'm about to turn on the computer, Alex's assistant comes up to me.
"Goodmorning, Miss Alfonsi."I turn my head around.
"Oh, good morning....."I say, realising not knowing his name
"It's Ottomar Andrey-Dimitar Abramsen but I would prefer if you can call me Andrey please."I nod and smile at him.
"Ok Andrey."He blushes and clears his throat, then swiftly changes the subject.
What a cutie.Focus,Elena,focus.
"Mr Ashton wants to know the progress of your pitch presentation."
"Sure. Let me show you then, okay?" I show him what I've done so far and now I just need to proofread it.
"I'll pass on the message to Mr Ashton, then."He walks away.
I re-read the pitch presentation slides so that it's can be finalised and ready for tomorrow. I look at the time and it looks like I have been at it for 30 mins, plus I feel accomplished already knowing that he will be impressed. It is lunchtime now and I go out of the building to meet Sylavaine. I sit at the nearby bench and I pull out my phone.

I look around and all of a sudden, someone shakes my shoulder and Sylvaine jumps up in front of me.
"What the f- Michela!"I exclaim.
"You scared the hell out of me."I whine.
"Sorry!"She smiles, trying hard not to laugh.
"Ugh, come on and show me this café."I put an arm over her shoulder. We reach the cafe called Sip 'n' Snack and enter inside. Sylvaine opts out to order for both of us and I sit down in a chair.
"This cafe is amazing and so cosy that I can just sleep in here."Sylvaine looks at me like I'm crazy. A waiter walks over to us and serves us our coffee, some sandwiches with a dessert on the side.
"Thanks."Just as she leaves, I notice her nametag.
"Excuse me?"She turns to me and Sylvaine looks at me confused.
"Do you have a sister? It's just that your surname has the same one as my colleague at work ."She nods in acknowledgement.
"Oh that's right, my sister which must be your colleague is Kianna Watkins and I am Kamirah: her older sister."Hmm.What a coincidence.
"Well, nice to meet you Kamirah."She smiles and leaves.
"You.Are.Weird."I laugh at that.
"Speaking of work, let me tell you what happened."I go on to tell her about Alex and Nikki, by the time I finish she's shocked.
"Hold up, Lena you are saying that Alex, your childhood bestie is now your boss?"
" Mmm-hmm."She burst into laughter. I become irritated.
Still laughing again, then she regains her composure and speaks again.
"That's some awkward crap. I feel sorry for you."
"What about you? Are you still with Elisa?"Now it's her turn to get angry. Looks like I hit a nerve, so I drink my coffee and take bites from my sandwich.
"We had an off and on relationship until it officially ended because I didn't love anymore, as a result, she didn't take it well, obviously but she blocked me."I put my hand over hers.
"I'm so sorry to hear that happened."
"It's fine, it happened ages ago."She starts talking telling funny stories about bad dates and failed relationships which seems to cheer her up.
"Let me tell you something Michela: know your worth, don't let anyone take advantage of you whether a man or woman, trust me I speak from experience and lastly know exactly what you want in a person."She gets a little teary-eyed after I speak.
"Thank you so much for that, I'm glad we got to rekindle ur friendship."We finish our coffee and sandwich but take the cake with us, we walk all the way in front of my workplace and we stop.
"Why don't you hang out with Alessia and me at the weekend?"
"Really?Ok, then."She waves at me goes to her car and I walk back inside.
