FALLING SLOWLY

6

The following morning as Mira makes her way to leave for work, Mirabel reminds her to come home early as she'll be bringing her boyfriend home to introduce her to him.

"We need to make a rule in this house that you mention your 'boyfriend' once a week because I think you are going to make my ears bleed soon" Mira teases.

"Oh, don't be jelly, Mira" Mirabel sticks out her tongue. "It's not my fault I'm hot"

"I see" Mira moves to the kitchen where she fixes herself a toast and warm milk. "Cheers to you being hot"

"Seriously, don't you want to date either. You've just been about work, work. At this rate, you might die single"

"I told you I already have someone I like, Mirabel"

"Then tell this person!" Mirabel grumbles. "He would never know how you feel unless you lay out your cards first"

Mira sips from her glass of milk. "That would be nice but he'd never noticed me before"

"Then that's perfect" Mirabel clicks her fingers. "Why don't you try seducing him? I can help you out"

Mira brings out her toasted bread from the machine as she chews on it, lightly. "That isn't going to work either"

"Why?"

Because now that he finally notices me, he thinks I'm you and hates my guts. Mira wanted to say but rather threw a 'I'm late for work' excuse.

"Don't be late, tonight!" Mirabel calls out after Mira as she runs out the front door with her toast in her mouth.

When Mira got to work, she smiles as she greets her teammates. "Goodmorning, everybody!"

"There's nothing good about this morning " Valentina drags out in a sleepy tone. "I feel like I'm going to die"

"Next time don't drink too much" Dwayne impeached.

"Did you get home safe, last night?" Andrew asks Mira out of earshot.

"Yes, thank you"

"Do you have your phone on you?"

Mira nods her head as she brings it out. "I do"

"Hand it to me, please " She obliges.

"It must have been uncomfortable riding with the boss, right?" Andrews questions  typing on her phone and handing  it back to her. "Next time you need someone to bail you out, call me"

Mira grins. "Ooh, smart. I'll take you up on that"

Just then Kyle walked in as he calls everyone to the meeting room.

The marketing team, fashion team, hair line team and others were gathered.

"What's the latest on fashion" Kyle questioned Hazel.

"Our latest design is all set and ready to be launched. We are trying to get some influencers like RJ and Jayden to wear our products"

RJ and Jayden were the hottest in the music industry. Brands sort for them in promoting their business as they were both good-looking and fit to be models.

"Have you spoken with RJ and Jayden yet?"

"Yes, sir. I just got off the phone with RJ and he said he is all in" Jacinth from the fashion teamed impeached.

"And what of Jayden?"

"His schedule is full at the moment so we haven't had the time to meet yet."

"Meet with him and get me back the report. Fashion team as usual, you have done well." Kyle says as he looks over to Mira's team. "Marketing team despite the fact that we changed the taste of enchanteur as earlier suggested, bad review still floods in. I'll be looking forward to hearing a solution from you soonest. Meeting dismissed"
