Baby shark do do do do...
Angelina picked up her cell phone. It was from the HR department.
"Hello. Am I talking to Miss. Ray?" Asked the lady politely.
"Yes."
"Our company has recruited some new employees. We were informed of a vacancy in your site. So, from today onwards a new Project Supervisor is going to assume office."
" Ah! Okay! Thank you so much."
"Who was it?" Sam asked.
"Someone from the HR department."
"Oh, pass me the fruit jam"
The three sat eating their breakfast.
Ray decided to report to the office before the scheduled time and set everything ready before her new boss arrives.
************************************
"Why are you following me?" Angelina frowned.
"Maybe....because you are pretty?!" Pete smirked.
"Get this point straight into your head, if I catch you following me one more time..."
She took two steps towards Pete, with a threatening look in her eyes.
"Owww, relax lady. This is the only way to the bus stop" Pete tried explaining.
"Bus stop? You take me as a fool? Sam clearly suggested you to give me a lift in your car. Since you have a car, why looking for bus?"
"What's wrong with wanting to ride a bus? Okay, let's do this. I will walk before you, then I will not be following you."
Pete couldn't figure out where he went wrong. He definitely hadn't done anything shady. To add to this, he had helped her twice. Then why was she behaving like a porcupine? She looked quite adorable last night, acting all silly.
Angelina was embarrassed because of the morning scene. She made a fool of herself. And God knows what she has done when she was drunk. She knows her drinking behaviour too well. She must have done something very stupid. And when she saw Pete walking behind her, she said all those to falsely satisfy her ego. Though she regretted almost immediately.
"How could I be so harsh to the person so important to Sam?!!!" Angelina wanted to knock some sense in her brain.
************************************
When Angelina arrived at the office, she was informed about the new project supervisor's arrival.
"Shit!" Angelina walked as fast as her legs would allow and knocked at the door.
Knock knock..
"Come in" a familiar voice sounded.
This voice.. how could she not recognise this voice?
Her eyes were burning. A painful lump accumulated in her throat. Angelina was visibly shaken.
"Get your shit together" she told herself, "take a deep breath."
She gathered her courage and opened the door.
"Good morning, sir. I am Angelina Ray, the site engineer cum project coordinator." She handed over her files and reports to him.
But before he could say anything, she turned on her heels and left the room.
************************************
"Why is it him? Why does it have to be Aaron?" She supported her head with her hands.
"I am quitting" she texted Sam about it.
"Why would you leave your job for that jerk?" Sam replied.
"But I can't face him. Not now. I feel like drowning myself"
"Jelly, wait for me tonight at home. We can find a solution together. But don't leave the office now. Don't let him know you are still effected by what he did to you years ago."
Angelina heard footsteps near her door. She kept her cellphone and tried focusing on her work.
Someone knocked.
"Yes, get in!"
"Miss Ray, is this how you treat your seniors?" Aaron talked in a mocking tone.
Her jaws clenched together. She felt her blood rushing upwards.
"No, sir. I am sorry if my behaviour has offended you."
"Offended, well yes, it did. You lack the basic professional Miss. Ray. Or should I send you back to receive some training? You need it."
Angelina balled her fists. Her nails dug in her palm. No, she cannot loose this time. She will definitely not quit.
************************************
Angelina got off work on time today. She took a cab straight to Sam's apartment.
She pressed the calling bell and birds chirped.
The door opened. It was Pete.
"Is Sam in?"
"No, but she will be home soon. You can wait inside if you want to."
She sat on the couch waiting for Sam.
She was exhausted today, both physically and mentally.Tired as she was, sleep slowly grasped her without much effort.
Aaron was kissing Liza. His shirt was half open, Liza's clothes were also dishivelled.
No, this is not happening.
Angelina couldn't process what she was seeing. Her heart was beating fast against her ribs, her legs went wobbly, she forgot to breath.
This is not true. This can't be true. Aaron can't cheat on her. She must have mistaken.
She went inside the room. Aaron turned, ready to cuss the one who ruined his mood.
Ah, so she wasn't mistaken. Aaron pushed Liza aside stupefied, staring at Angelina.
It was too much to bear. She ran away from the room, wanting to run away from reality, from heart break. She just wanted to run away.
Pete covered Angelina with a warm blanket. To his surprise, tears were streaming down from her eyes.
Something tugged at his heart. His hand reached near her face and wiped away the tears before another stream rolled down.
Pete realised what he was doing, he abruptly stood up and walked away. But he was distracted, distracted in his own thoughts
Thud..
"Ouch! Aah aah!" thump thump..
Angelina woke up. She turned back, only to see Pete jumping on one leg while holding the other. His face distorted in pain.
