The Life of Eniola (rewriting story)

Chapter 11

I come into work and my name is on everyone's  mouth.

Elena this, Elena that or even someone said "I bet she's going to be fired after pulling that".

Porca Miseria!

This is not what I want to come into at 9am in the morning. All because of Nikki Johnson, that sly devil. I walk into the editorial department, noticing some people pointing, staring or whispering. I sit down on my chair and turn on the computer, I begin to do some random work which is pretty much not necessary but it's anything to get this out of my mind is fine, halfway through the "work", I stop what I'm doing and think back to the first day up till now. I put my hands on my head and take off my glasses, leaving it on the desk. I feel a presence near me and I look at Kianna,her face full of pity.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Kia."I say, my face turned away from her.

"Are you sure be-"

"I said I am fine!" She walks back to her place and gets on with what she's doing.

Crap.

What did I just do?

I face the computer and secretly look up Wattpad, log in and read a book from one of my many reading lists. I look at the time and I realise that I got carried away because  it is five past twelve so I leave the building, I put on headphones and start walking ,to which direction I don't know. As I'm walking, something catches my attention, so I retreat my steps and I see a restaurant in front of me.

I decide to enter inside and I take a good look around. There's a woman at the front and I walk towards her.

"Welcome to Sebastián's Eatery, Ma'am. What can I do for you?"

"A table for one, please". She nods and motions for a waiter to come to me.

"Would you follow me, please."

He guides me to an available table for me and I sit down.

"What would you like to order, ma'am?"

I look at the menu and flicker through the pages, pleased with what I want, I look up at him.

"Could I have the tortilla de patatas, please?" He nods and leave. 

This will have to do for a lunch. 

The food arrives and I start to eat but as I'm taking a bite, I suddenly remember that I still have my earphones so I take it off, take my phone out of my pockets and lay it on the table. I eat the food happily but my mood swiftly changes as I think back to Nikki and the rest of the people at work.

On the other hand, Sebastián is doing his quick check up on his employees and the customers , making sure that everything is going well, then he notices Elena, looking down and eating the food slowly. He walks over to her to see what's going with her.

"Don't like the food?" I look up and see a man, he has the kind of face that stopped you in your tracks and I guess he must get used to that and the lips, oh my, it makes me want to feel how his lips move in a kiss.

I shake the thought away.

"Oh no no, I'm enjoying it." He smirks.

"It's just that I'm having a rough day." Having no idea why I just told this to a total stranger. I found myself having a long talk with him about plenty of things, I look at my watch and notice that I have just 9 minutes left.

"Damn! I had a great time but I need to get back to work soon." We share contact details and I leave the restaurant. I walk quickly towards my workplace but this time feeling elated.
