Chapter31: Bar chart

I had the most hectic day at work.

I walked into the building at eight thirty sharp and within that time and lunch break, my butt hadn't had the comfort of relaxing on a seat. Immediately I got in, Cynthia had kept me on my feet, literally.

I had printed and photocopied a lot of documents, made more than one jug of coffee, delivered messages downtown, been to every floor on the building twice, tried to fix a broken printer even though I had no idea how, and made sandwich for everyone in the conference room.

All done within eight thirty and lunch break.

There were interns loitering around the office, doing nothing important, they were all over the place but still Cynthia didn't pick any of them to be her helper for the day, instead she picked me, who didn't get enough sleep at night and who also had a lot of pending articles to finish.

And then after lunch break, she gave me another set of documents to print and even more sandwich's to make. She also made me go to the bank two damn times all in the name of delivering a message to her accountant.

At the end of the day, after running around in my four inch Gabanna heels, I didn't even get a simple 'Thank You' from my boss, Cynthia.

I wasn't really surprised, she was never one to show any affection or appreciation to people below her, but it sure wouldn't kill her to show gratitude to someone who tripped countless number of times just to make sure she was satisfied.

It passed, though. My hectic day at work passed and I was more than happy to go home, cover myself in layers upon layers of blankets and sleep till the next morning.

But immediately I picked up my bag and walked out of the building, I received a text which painfully reminded me that today was Wednesday and also the day Gemma decided we would go clubbing.

I just wanted to bang my head against something hard, maybe a brick or glass would have done.

Even though I thought about it, I couldn't cancel on Gemma. She seemed really excited about the club thing and I didn't want to be the one to leave her disappointed. So, as soon as I got in a cab, I decided I would just sleep till Alia came by to get ready.

Sounded like a good plan, but unfortunately that didn't happen.

Before I could even open the door to my apartment I was hijacked by the one person who I hadn't seen in a while and who also, apart from Cynthia and Alia, was able to keep me on my feet, Niall.

He was going to grab something to eat and decided to wait for me so we could go together and even though I told him I wasn't hungry, he dragged me along with him, saying that he had waited over an hour for me, so I was going with him whether I was hungry or not.

I didn't have much of a choice and that was why I eat a giant greasy hamburger and almost chocked Niall when I told him that Alia, Jasmine and I were going to club for a girls night thing. When he started coughing at first, I thought he was just being dramatic but then it turned out his burger did go down the wrong way.

Going to a club or anywhere there was a party without Niall was like an abomination, a taboo. He was one for the party and alcohol and usually it would be him and Alia who would force me to go clubbing with them not me and Alia going without him. So, I sort of understood why he was unhappy even though he being overdramatic about the whole thing.

After buying him a peach pie and a Pepsi, he said he forgives me and that he would look to Alia for her own compensation, and then he tried to get Gemma and Jasmine numbers which I didn't give which lead to a small argument about me not wanting him to hook up with Jasmine or Gemma which lead me to buying him another Pepsi.
