UNEMPLOYED

Chapter 5

--Third Person's Point of View—

Ellise's boss woke up seeing a figure of the newbie who has her head down on her desk. He looked around only to find out that the papers he was supposed to be working on was on Ellise's table.

'Did she really managed to finish all of that?' His boss thought as he walked towards Ellise's desk, scratching his head with his messy hair.

He check the new pile of printed papers and he was right. She finished all of the paper works in just one night.

'Wow, she's impressive... But I think I still need to give loads of stuff to her.' He thought as he made his way to the bathroom inside his office.

He finished taking a shower and when he came out, Ellise is still asleep.

'You were really tired but I'm sorry, I'll need to wake you up later.' He told himself as he took a black fancy-looking suit from his cabinet.

For him, this office of his is also like his second home. Just like what Ms. Smith told Ellise last night. He already got a lot of things in here that you can normally find at home. He also has a dining room here. This office is just as big as a house so he wouldn't really bother to go home anymore.

He dried his own hair and wore his suit on. He walked towards Ellise and woke her up by shaking her shoulder.

"Hey, wake up. You need to come with me. Also, I need you to make me some coffee." He said as he walked in front a mirror to fix his tie.

Ellise got up from her seat with her really messy hair. Her ponytail was about to fall from her hair and her eyes were fighting against her sleepiness.

She was already brewing coffee with her eyes slightly closed.

"Hey. Open your eyes. You might burn your hand while pouring the water, idiot." He warned her.

"Then why don't you make it..." She mumbled to herself, slowly blinking her eyes every twenty seconds.

She finished making his coffee gave it to him. She lay down on the sofa to continue sleeping.

"Hey, Newbie! I said that you're coming with me." His boss demanded as he got his coffee and walked towards Ellise who's now sleeping on the couch. He tried waking her up by kicking her back lightly but there was still no response from her.

He sighed.

It was too hard for him to wake her up without knowing the reason why.

"I think I'm just gonna go with someone else then." He told himself as he sighed again.

Ring ring.

"Hello?" He answered the phone call.

"Sir, your meeting will start a short while now." Ethan from the other line said.

"I'll be there, just wait for me." He replied lazily as he ended the phone call.

'Why do I always need to go to meetings? This is so irritating!' He complained as he took the papers Ellise worked on last night since he'll be needing it all.

"Hey, are you going to attend a meeting again?" Ellise asked, laying down on the couch with her eyes shut.

"Yeah, why?"

"If you're going to let me write shit again on a piece of paper for more of your useless meetings, why won't you just record their voices instead?" Ellise suggested.

That's a good idea. He thought.

"Thanks for the advice." He thanked her and drank all of the remaining coffee in his cup. He then left the room, on his way to the meeting.

Meanwhile, Ellise smiled, enjoying her sleeping time on the couch.
