Game over? what game? it smells like trouble ,I was about reading the content when I saw the door knob twist. I immediately threw the paper behind me and paid attention to what was coming from behind the door, its the driver, jeez like what the hell? yes what do you want I asked with a faked confidence.

Mr. Jerry asked me to bring a file on his table said the driver, I could feel my chest burning I didn't know when I asked him if it was the red file.

He said no mr.jerry asked him to bring the one when with the black stamp and specifically told him not to touch the red file. oh okay I said stuttering , As soon as the driver stepped out of the office I turned right to the back to pick up the paper from where I had thrown it to. I can't see anything and I notice the window was open, sweet blood of jesus Christ who opened this window? I asked nobody but my self I looked down the window and saw the series of floors I couldn't reach with any means except the elevator, what if the paper followed the wind and headed for the road.

I knew this was one of my bad luck days just setting in for the new month "I am dead". I ran out of the office leaving the window still open ,well I couldn't wait to get to the first floor. I need to get that paper before I get into more trouble.

I ran down and searched all over, different thoughts running through my head.. How could I have been so stupid.? Holy shii
I couldn't find it.. I was on my way back to the office when I saw someone coming out of the fashion department.. He was putting on a black ripped Jean, a black hoodie, a black cap... Ok everything about this guy was black. He looked really suspicious.. He passed me by and went straight to take the elevator. Really,i was less concerned I just need to look for the damn red file.!

Boss...i couldn't get it.

What do you mean, you couldn't get it?

I got there and searched all over but it seems he knew I was coming. I couldn't get it boss.

What?! Are you insane? What is your f****** problem.. Just a little job and you screw over? You f****** bastard!

Am sorry boss.. But I got you a little something

And what could that be?
(hands over a red file)

How did you get this?

I got to his office and found it open. I entered and started searching for it until the red file caught my eye. It was beneath his desk. I decided to keep it, cause I thought it might help. I tried searching for the file with the black stamp but I just couldn't find it boss.

/laughs/ what an idiot.! You brought me, the file I sent to him myself!

Boss..." The Game over"?

Yes,you fool! Didn't you look at it before bringing it.. Huh?!

Boss, am totally sorry. I didn't know..i was in a haste cause of his PA

/scoffs/Matilda, you mean...

Yes Boss.

Leave her to me.. /smiles/
And send back the file.
Ok boss.

Matilda's POV
It's been 2 hours now and I still can't find the file. Jerry would kill me, we just became friends and am beginning to ruin it. This is what happens when you let curiosity get the best of you. Doom!

I was still thoroughly searching, when I heard my intercom ring. Goodness.. Who could that be...i asked myself
I went out to pick up
Hello.. Miss Smith? there's a package here for Mr springer.
Oooh okay. On my way

I ran to the information desk to receive the package and placed it on Mr Jerry's desk. I felt like opening it to see what was inside, but hell no! Have done a lot today..

Jerry's POV
Something tells me that I should get back to the office immediately. Have been really bothered about something don't know but my instincts don't lie, I arrived at the office and on my way to the office I could see clusters of gossips. Hey! Don't you all have something to do with your miserable life's?

I got to my office and I could notice Matilda is quiet. I got to my office and settled down when I saw a package on my desk.

Matilda... I called for her

Sir?

What's this..? I asked her
Uhm.. A package someone delivered.. She said
I noticed matilda's expression. She's been quite distant from me and avoided contact
I ignored her and proceeded to open the package when I saw a red file.

Another red file..? I said to myself. I thought I received this file already this morning and why the Second time, I don't know why I would receive same file twice without even seeing the duplicates. All this time, Matilda was still with me in the office. She was shocked.. Her expression seemed like she knew something.

I proceeded to bring out the paper from the file and the heading says "GAME OVER", my veins began to swell as I calm down to go through the content. It was written in Latin? Like seriously?

Now I need a Translator, matilda make some calls and get me a translator. Okay jerry she said

But jerry it would take twenty four hours to fly a Latin translator down here from Paris, I know one In Paris she said stuttering. Okay just make the call Matilda.

Did anyone come to see me while I was gone? I asked her,no jerry she said.

Hmmmmmmmm she seems to be telling a lie, Matilda what went on today? Nothing she replied immediately. What's wrong with this woman.. I asked myself

But jerry what personal meeting did you attend? She asked.
And I said to her, Matilda some meetings are just personal. No need to interfere
This time she just gave me an awkward look and looked away immediately.
Everything is fine. I said reassuring her

**********
Matilda's pov

Everything is fine? Jerry has never said that word before since I have known him I said in my head, definitely everything isn't fine.
I tried to persuade him but he already said everything was fine. I lost all tactical questions to approach him so he would just let me know what was going on, I couldn't even get to know what's inside the paper but at the end it's in Latin.

And if anything else is more surprising, it's this hilarious red file. I thought I had lost this file
What the hell is happening...

*phone rings*

Oh it's my phone and it's Benny, hey ben.. Before I could finish my statement..
Matilda your home is on fire she said. Huh? Fire? What?! Don't joke with me right now
Do I sound like am joking..? She asked in a very scary tone which made me think again. Benny never make such jokes
How come?! I asked

I don't know... Just come now

Okay am.. Before I could end my statement.. She hanged up.

I ran out of the office without permission, I couldn't wait to get home and clear my doubts.

Ten minutes later I got to a burning home. There were fire fighters there already. People gathered to the front of my house.. I couldn't believe my eyes... and my phone rings again, what's it this time I was already in tears what would I do.

it's a voice note.

*voice note plays*

(if your getting this voice note it means your home is already on fire, there's no need to panic more is coming, just watch your back Matilda am coming for you)

The strange voice said.

I could get a blur image of Benny trying to wake me I guess am fainting already, another character came into the blur picture it looked like jerry and finally it's a black out.
