"You came with your luggages again today" Cynthia said while laughing out loud immediately she saw me bent over a socket as I tried to plug in my phone.

"Is your estate light faulty orrrrrrrr I should guess, your roommates didn't pay the light bill again" she continued still laughing as she sat down on her seat beside my work desk.

"Yeah,I knew you were going to laugh at me immediately I started packing in my "luggages" I made hand quotations in the air "into my bag to come to work this morning" I replied while laughing and sitting down beside her.

"But lets be serious, it's not really funny. I think you are the only that is always charging her personal gadget in the office."

"Like, you bring it from your house to work with the aim of charging them and that's like at very close intervals. It's not bad if it's got a good reason,but your roommates not paying the light bill does not cut it" Cynthia said now looking serious

"You know I'm trying. I have talked and even shouted about them making their own input in the running of the house but it has proved abortive. It either ends with insults or more shouting" I lamented

" You are the one giving them an easy hand. If they shout, shout back, if they insult you give it back. What is really the problem? You are too soft" she said angrily

"Vanessa! I hope you are done with the files I placed on your desk" was what I heard as I wanted to open my mouth to reply Cynthia

I can remember that voice even in my dream. This is the third headache I have in life, Mr Boston.

The head of my department, this man has sworn that I would know no peace since the day the manager said
"That's a brilliant idea, if you keep this up, you would go places in this company, I can see you at the top of your department" in reply to a brand marketing idea I gave.

Since that day, Mr Boston has sworn to make my life in the office a living hell while Emily and Sandra turn it upside down at home. I wonder how I still haven't become an emergency candidate for Mental health therapy.

"I'm on it Sir, I would send it in shortly" I replied

" You are on it? I just saw you gossiping with this no-good rude friend of yours " Mr Boston turned an annoyed face towards Cynthia

"Gossiping is all you know in this office. It's important you know your place and do what you are supposed to do. If you want to spend your morning gossiping, you can reach out to the HR, Jobs are hard to come by this days. Let's me see that file on my table ASAP!" He stated as he turned back towards his office.

From his words you would think he dropped off this file on my desk since last week. I just came to work this morning to meet about 6 files waiting on my desk almost like he dreamt about me last night.

"Who is he calling rude? I don't blame him" Cynthia said while hissing
