[Charlie XCX, Boys]
Thea
Right now, I'm in my office and just doing my work. I'm in a very good mood today because today is Friday, which means tomorrow is the weekend! I have lots of things to do and buy tomorrow.
Just then, I heard my door knocking. "Come in," I said, and the door opened to show the most friendly receptionist. "Do you need anything, miss?" She rolled her eyes and acted as if nothing had happened.
"I'm here just to let you know that Mr. Sanchez is going to arrive in a few minutes, so Mr. Gerald told me to let you know that you'll be needed in his room in 5 minutes."
"Why?" Before I could ask more, she closed the door and left me there. "What??? Like seriously?" I murmur to myself and take the things that I need to bring. Well, to be honest, I don't know what to bring. So, I decided to bring my phone with me. That's it.
I knock on the door, and after I hear 'come in, I open the door and walk in. "Mr. Gerald, why do you want me to be here?" I ask.
"I'm going to introduce you to Mr. Sanchez, our boss, and also because he wants to see the interior designer who's going to decorate the hotel." I nodded my head, and he let me sit on the sofa there.
"When will he arrive?"
"Just in a few minutes. You can sit there and wait until he comes then." I sigh and nod my head. I play with my phone; as usual, I play Subway Surf, and this time, I succeed in breaking my own records. I played and tried to break the record again, but then my phone died. Good. How long did I play on my phone?
I look at my watch, and it seems like I've already been sitting here for like half an hour. Not punctual. Umm, Mr. Gerald, can I go back to my office? I think Mr. Sanchez is going to be so late." I ask him.
"Alright... I'm sorry to make you sit there for half an hour." I smile at him and walk to the door to walk out. Just when I want to open it, the door opens by itself and hits my nose. I stumbled backward and nearly fell to the floor. Who the hell opened that freaking door so fast like that?
I feel my nose hurt, and I just go to the mirror inside that room and see my face. My nose was as red as tomatoes, and also my eyes were watery. Shit.
"Ms. Morris? Are you okay?" I turn around to see Mr. Gerald, but then I see him standing beside him. "Ms. Morris?"
"Oh yeah, I'm okay." Stupid, why are you stuttering? I smile at Mr. Gerald and just ignore that man who makes my nose hurt so bad.
"Oh Ms. Morris, this is Mr. Joseph Sanchez our big boss." I look at him uninterestedly and force myself to smile at him.
"Good morning, Mr. Sanchez. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Thea Morris." I said I would have a handshake with him. He just nodded his head. What a rude jerk.
Did you know I waited for you here for like half an hour and that my nose hurt because of you?
Three of us sit on the sofa, and I just keep silent while they are having a conversation. Hello, I'm here too. I don't understand why I need to be here when they just want to make me look like a statue right here. "So you're the new interior designer?" Finally, they see me!
"Yes, I am."
"So did you already start the design?"
"I just do like three of them, Mr. Sanchez." He nods his head. "If it didn't have anything else, can I go now?" I ask carefully.
"Yes, you can now, Ms. Morris." I take a breath of relief and walk out of that room. I quickly walk to my room, charge my phone, and then just continue to do my work.

I'm on my way home after a long day at the office. I just want to go home and sleep until tomorrow. I walk quickly, and when I arrive, I just smile at the girl at the counter and head to the lift.
I plop myself on the couch as soon as I get into my house. Just then I opened my handbag to take my phone, but my phone was not here. "Where is my phone? Oh, please don't tell me it fell down in the road or something." I talk to myself and take everything out of my bag, but I still can't find it.
Just then, I remembered that I had charged my phone and forgot to take it. That's means I have to walk again to that company and take my phone. I need my phone, or else I'm not able to do anything. Everything I want to do and buy is in there. With all my strength, I force myself to get up and go back to the company.
You don't have to walk like this if you didn't forget it.
I walk quickly because it's going to be cold. I practically run to the company because all I want is to get home as soon as possible.
I am breathless when I arrive in front of the company. It still has a few people here, so I make my move to my room. When I'm in, I see my phone on the small table near the plug. I unplugged it and walked out. Then I bump into someone. When I look up, I see Joseph standing in front of me. "I'm sorry, Sir." I walk to the lift and wait for it. I see him also waiting for it. I don't know why it is so awkward now.
The lift arrives, we get in, and I press L, then close the door. Why does the lift move so slowly? I can't stand this silence. I really can't.
Ding!
Finally. I walked out, and then I heard my name being called. I turned around, and it was Joseph. "Yes?"
"I want to see your design tomorrow. At 8:30 here." He said.
"But tomorrow is Saturday."
"Is that a problem?" His voice is stern, and I shake my head weakly. "Good. Meet you tomorrow, then, Ms. Morris." With that, he walks away, leaving me standing in the middle of the lobby.
Why did he need to look at the design tomorrow? Why not earlier, or maybe next week?
