My eyes meet the set of eyes that had me irritated all evening before she quickly looks down, biting her lip.
She doesn't look up after she places the tray of drinks in front of me but just stands as if waiting for me to say something.
"Would you...
Waking up on a Monday morning before my alarm wasn't new to me, especially with how much nightmares I usually have. Today is one of those days where I feel so numb that I want to be mute and in company of just myself. Most people get like this because they become overstimulated during the course of their day. I wake up overstimulated most days.
I went through the motion of having my morning cup of tea with a dash of milk and sugar while looking through my mail. The incorporation of Yieldsure into my company, ZTS, will commence today, so I had to get all the documents signed and approved before transactions commence. I yawn before stretching out, deciding I need to get to work since I've had enough of looking through my mail.
Going up to my room, I shower and go through my morning routine before proceeding into my walk-in closet to pick what to wear for the day.

Sage's outfit of the day
_______________________
I drive to work in my new black BMW i8 top spec variant since I've always loved German cars and had a couple sitting in my garage, to show for it. Getting to the company, i maneuver and take up my designated spot in the complex before walking into the building, ignoring everyone's greetings as I walk to the elevator.
People must have sensed my mood because no one dared to step into the elevator with me. Except Delgado. I roll my eyes as I hear her calling for the elevator to hold. I push myself last minute to press the hold button so she could enter.
"Damn it," she says as she tries to balance her cup and her briefcase. I don't say anything as she mumbles trying to get herself together until she finally gets everything in place before turning to look at me. Frankie looks me in my face for a few and just mumbles, "hmmm".
"Morning Frankie," I say after she mumbles. "Good morning, Sagie. Ready for today?" She asks.
I reply her with a hum, making her nod as a show for me to know she heard me. The girls know how I could get in days where I deal with overstimulation, so they stick to sending texts through and speaking to me less.
She gets to her floor and kisses my cheek before the elevator opens. Frankie wasn't one to show affection every time but when she does, it fills you with warmth. A little smile tugs on my face just as the door almost closes and I see her flip me off.
I get to my floor and step out of the elevator, heading straight to my office. I take a seat on my chair and bring out everything I need to work. I was at a point where I was hyper focused on my tasks for the day.
I hear Preston come in, and catch him with the corner of my eye holding a cup of what I'm assuming would be my coffee and file in his hands. He drops the cup on my table before proceeding to greet me.
