24th July (Under Constructive Editing)

Chapter 18

Ella's POV

Ray of light reflected on my face causing me to squirm my eyes, I rubbed my eyes with my palm, adjusting to the sun rise through my opened window. Lucy stood there, her hands folded to her chest, giving me an anonymous look. I knew she was the villain that opened the curtain.

"Get your feet down here now!!" She yelled. Why can't I get a good sleep, I love sleeping so much that it is the first thing I think about when I wake up.

"What is wrong with you, stand up now or I make you" lucy yelled, I knew what she was capable of doing, she would use the pillow on me. 

"Arrgh....lemme alone"

"You will be late for work, it's 6:30 in the morning!!!".

"What?!!, oh my God, oh my God" I quickly dash into the bathroom to do my morning routine as fast as I could. Why did I wake up so late today, even my alarm clock couldn't wake me up as usual.

After the quick shower, I got into my yellow cropped top and black high waisted skirt, leaving only inches of my skin between the crop top and skirt then I slide my feet into my brown low wedge heel. I ran downstairs​, lucy was all set already, waiting for me impatiently. I didn't have the time for breakfast any longer.

"What happened to you, why didn't you wake up on time today?" Lucy asked as we drove off. Lest I forgot, my new car was parked neatly by the side. I still can't believe Jason.

"I don't just know, am sorry for keeping you late"

"Aww....you spent your time dreaming of Jason and your new baby, come on give it a name" this girl never seems to amaze me. She want me to name my car just like she name hers Blair. 

"Not now Lucy, all that matters right now is that am late to work and I don't know how your brother would react" I said. It's 7:45am already while work start at 7:00am.

On reaching, I ran to the elevator and it was packed, I was stocked to the back. I row my eyes, what a rough day. I made his coffee quickly, I walked to his cabin as I knock and heard a faint 'come in'. I wonder what he will say to me.

I got in, kyle was sitting on his swivel chair, facing toward the window and his back facing me. If I had gotten an office just like his, I would spend my whole time memorizing the whole view of Australia. "Your coffee sir, am so sorry am late" I said but he didn't utter a word, weird. I kept his coffee by the left side of his table and made my way out of his cabin.

Now I had no work to do because I did everything yesterday to avoid more stress today, not knowing I would end up being bored in my office. Lunch time reached, Eric and I decide to have our lunch at the uphill cafe but normally we move directly opposite the company to get our lunch. He told me earlier that kyle wouldn't bother us today, so we just want to spend our time out.

We sat by the window side, I picked up my menu and started scanning. The waitress came after a while and took our others, later our orders were served.

"Is kyle okay?" I asked.

"I don't know, why did't you ask him yourself ?" He smirked.

"Shut up"

We ate in silence as I saw Beverly walking toward me with her blazer flying out, she gave me a small smile before sitting next to me.

"Beverly, what are you...." She cut me off.

"Do you mind if I steal her for some minutes?" She referred to Eric, who was giving us an obscure look. He gave her a nod and continue stabbing his lobster.
