The coffee was good. It was rich and warm with a hint of sweetness. The coffee cup was very pleasant to look at too, it was adorned by intricate designs that gave it a futuristic look.
I studied the cup, keeping my eyes nowhere but on it. To look up and accidentally meeting someone's eye would be humiliating. Not because I'm shy, or because I have a people problem, but because of what I was wearing.
A P.E. cosplay outfit.
One that was a little too tight on the butt and chest, and a little too thin.
Obviously, this was a strict violation of the dress-code, but as the daughter of the founder of the company, no one dared approach me about it.
"Sooooooo? Cute, huh?" Mother nudged me in the side, earning a death glare from me.
"Mom. This. Isn't. Fu-" The sound of knocking on the door dampened the conversations in the room.
"Look alive, dear," After Mother whispered in my ear, she rose from her seat at the head of the black conference table, and went to open the door.
"No! Wait" Whoever was behind that door did not need to see me in this get-up. In a desperate attempt to stop my mother, I scrambled out of my seat and reached for her.
Of course, I ended up tripping over the plastic bag containing my soiled clothes.
And landing with my butt in the air could not have been more mortifying.
It was also in that exact moment that the 'special guest' entered.
A/N Yeah, this chapter is short. But the next one will be much longer I promise. I just needed it to end so that I could start the next one. A certain someone shows up!☕️
