And then I go and spoil it all
By saying somethin' stupid like, "I love you"...
Hello my pretties! Yes I know I've kept you waiting and I'm so sorry but I am extremely busy this week. For a moment, I thought I was going to faint from exhaustion...and last night I nearly did!! But I squeezed this chapter into my busy schedule just for you. And I think i've made up for the lack of updates cause it's a LONG chapter! Anyway, I don't want to bore you with the details, ENJOY!
"Calm down, it's going to be ok. Well...hopefully" these were the words şahika was telling herself the next morning. Trying to calm her nerves down as she took one last look at herself into the mirror.
She was worried of course,...rightfully. She had just invaded her boss's privacy last night, after all; God, she could still feel her cold eyes on her. The memory made her shiver to her core. What she did was horrible, but she hoped Ender would be in a good mood today and forgive the 'incident'. It wasn't like she had done it on purpose! It was just an accident, she didn't mean for any of it to happen; and she hoped Ender would also see that.
With a deep breath, she grabbed her bag and bid Simba goodbye. " Wish me luck boy" and she thought 'god knows I'll need it!'

Caner was the first to greet her upon arriving. "Good morning, Cinderella...aw...why the miserable face?"
"Please, caner, I'm not in the mood; I messed up last night...big time!"
Caner frowned, "what do you mean? You said you were just going to deliver a few documents, didn't you? What could have gone wrong?"
'Oh if only you knew' şahika shook her head "well the maid or housekeeper or whoever she was..."
"Yes, isel, she's the housekeeper. Lovely woman really and loyal too, halit doesn't really deserve her if you ask me...she..."
"Caner, for god's sake, I'm trying to tell you something crucial here, focus!" But she couldn't help thinking, 'seems like this halit doesn't deserve many things...'
"Anyway...she asked me to wait in the parlor while she made drinks or something, but suddenly, I heard harsh whispering coming from the living room and of course curiosity got the better of me...please don't look at me like that. I thought someone might be in trouble. It was not my intention to eavesdrop, I swear!"
When she saw caner nodding along, she continued, "and there they were...your sister and her husband arguing about...well...stuff. And he was rather mean to her, I think. When I realised they were fighting, I tried to get away but..."
"Oh god, please don't tell me they saw you..."
"We came eye to eye, for a second, I thought she was going to strangle me!"
"Well...shit"
"Yeah, that's one way to put it..."
"Sweetie, that's the only way to put it"
"Fine. I messed up, I know, but I'm honestly afraid caner, do you think she's going to fire me?"
"I'm not sure sweetie, let's hope not..." and just then this phone biped. "Speaking of the devil, that's her. You know what... You just go to your office for now. Sit and wait for my call, ok? Go sit at your desk and take a few deep breaths. I will deal with her and then send you in, deal?"
