I hate it, I hate it all.
No matter how much I'm trying I'm affected by her presence. It's like she's slowly possessing my mind and haunting me for eternity.
I look at the three more people who came into my office, all of them sitting on the large couch in here.
On the left corner there's sitting Sam, also known as the clown of the designing department. He never lets go any chance to crack the most immature jokes around the office. People like him here but I find him nothing but annoying. However he's good at his job, he's the team's design assistant.
In the middle there's sitting, Ava. She's a humanoid robot, literally. She is so serious about her work that I've never seen her smile or doing anything other than work, she's working even during lunch breaks. She's excellent in her job and I respect her for that, she's the colour specialist.
In the right corner, there's sitting Gabriel. He's a total nerd, he loves his job and his big glasses alot. He loves coming to work, he's the design coordinator.
I watch each one of them like a hawk, observing their every move. I lean back in my chair and look at all of them. Sam is smiling, looking here and there, like he has absolutely no idea why he's here. Ava is sitting straight and looking forward, like she's getting paid for looking like a robot. Gabriel is nervous and keep adjusting his glasses.
Who could be the culprit? I hear Rose clearing her throat and then speaks "I'm sure you all must know why you guys are here..."
"Yes, yes. We're here for interrogation, We saw Mira looking like a nervous wreck when she came out of this interrogation room." Sam laughs at his own remarks.
I narrow my eyes, trying my best to control my frustration, I'm hella frustrated with this questioning because it seems to be going nofuckingwhere but a part of me is frustrated at her too and at the way every little thing about her is affecting me.
It's like the intensity is increasing day by day. The more I'm trying to be rude and distant towards her the more I'm drawn to her.
"Listen to me, guys. As your leader I trust you all, I hope you know that, we're not accusing anyone we're just trying to understand what exactly happened and who was behind it." She says, her tone is polite and soft as if her designs didn't get stolen from her. How can she stay so calm and collected is beyond me.
"We need answers and we need it quick! So be serious." My tone is harsher than intended as I look at all of them. "Sam, where were you when Mira left to attend the call?"
"Look, Boss." He raises his eyebrows. "I swear I haven't done anything, I'm very honest about my job, if you need coffee or any files, I'm always here to help but office drama? That's not really my thing, you know." He shrugs.
