After completing her every work for the day...
Preparing the budget file, monitoring the work of other employs, interacting with business officials and finally taking a gist of the work progress with the employs of the building, Helly sat back closing her eyes.

As per her idea, she made two fake accounts, one as a hater and one as a part of fandom, on all social media platforms.

She tried interacting in both the groups, but indulging will take a bit of time.
Closing her laptop, she closed her eyes and rested her head on the back of the couch.

"He is a double faced man. They both are. He tries to be all good, but trust me he is not less than a womanizer. He dates multiple girl, but keep himself in good books. He is a s*x addict. In fact they both are. We need to bring out their true faces. He fooling a whole mass of fandom, who trust him to core. They are alcoholic" her face scrunched to maximum as each word from Joshua's mouth flashed in her mind movie.

"Now tell me Miss Shah, if someone helps you so much, are you going to break friendship just on the basis of assumption"
"Can't a Boss and employ be friends Miss Shah?"
"Uhh...Nia, we worked on the project together, so I need to sit beside Miss Shah" and a small smile appeared on her face. The crevices in her mind flattened to some extend.

"Can't understand a single thing. Never in my life have I been so confused" talking to herself the girl rubbed her face.

Blowing out a deep held breath, Helly opened her eyes when they fell on the large book shelf.

"I think I should read a book" mumbling to herself, the girl slowly picked up herself and walked towards the shelf.

She scanned the whole book shelf to catch some interesting cover but she just can't find any to her liking.
Just then her eyes caught the title which could solve her problem,
'Fake people signs' by Kevin Peter

She raised up her hand to reach the book, but her height wasn't helping much.
The book was on top shelf and Helly's hands were unable to grab it. Looking around the room she spotted those rolling chairs by the table.

Pulling out one of them, Helly adjusted it against the shelf. Taking off her heels, she stepped on it carefully and easily grabbed the book.

Fixing the book against her elbow, Helly looked right and left below her to find a better spot to get down. On one side it was the back  of the rolling chair hindering her movement, while at the other end she mistakenly placed her heels close to the chair.

She had no other option than jumping. She slowly turned around, holding the book firmly and was about to jump, but suddenly the chair slipped from it's position losing friction, alas! throwing the girl off her feet.

Helly fell directly on her face on the tiled floor with a thud.

"Ouch!!" She screamed out when a searing pain engulfed her whole nose area. Breathing heavily, she tried to turn around when she felt something hot trickling down her upper lip, into the mouth. Tasting to be salty, with shivering fingers Helly managed to touch the area.

As she opened her tear filled eye, with great difficulty, the red colour erased all her doubts. The girl broke her nose.

She opened her mouth to take in long strides of breath to compensate the oxygen requirement in the body when she felt the thick blood trickling down her throat.

She brushed her fingers against her pocket to check on her phone, but it wasn't there. She looked at the cabin door and tried to shout out but due searing pain, she just can't put force on her larynx. She saw Siara walking towards the cabin, but then a confused expression flashed on the girl's face and she walked away.
