I gulped "What do you want from me?" I asked already shaking. "Don't be scared babygirl" A second man said. I flinched when he called me that. "We won't hurt you" A third man responded chuckling at his statement. Just as I was about to protest, the...
I sighed as a drop of sweat trickled down my jawline. I just finished signing another paperwork. I've been really busy this week. Purchases are being made now and then, people keep on ordering products from my company. I smiled, and to think my mom wanted to take my dreams away from me.
I frowned it's being 2 years since I last heard from my mother though Karla told me she visited her some weeks ago when she (Karla) came to visit me last week. And to be honest I don't regret my actions.
I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts, I don't want to relive that day. I closed my eyes, leaned back in my chair trying to relax. With the air conditioning blowing cool air, the sound of cars passing by, honking, birds chirping and singing happily and the sound of crickets only made me realize how late it was. I could have slept off right there on my chair if the building's telephone hadn't started to ring.
I opened my eyes annoyed then picked it up "Yeah?" I spoke to it
"There's someone who would like to see you. She said her name is Ella Anderson" My secretary spoke from the other side of the call; Her voice as soft as ever due to exhaustion
"No worries, let her in," I said.
"Alright" she replied and with that, I hung up sighing for the umpteenth time today
I tried organising my table which was filled with tons of paperwork and thankfully they are all signed but it's only a matter of time before my table gets piled up again with series of sheets of papers. 'I think I need a break' I breathe out.
"Hey girl" Ella said, approaching me as she shut the door she came in through.
"Hey El" I said not looking up from my table still trying to organize.
"Oh, girl you've been busy" she said taking a seat on the chair opposite mine.
"Tell me about it. The orders are getting too much. I mean I like it, it's my dream and passion but I need a breather" I said exasperated, pulling my hair in discomfort and frustration
"I think I need a break but there will be no one to take care of things while I'm gone" I said hitting my head lightly on the table, groaning as I did so
"You know that's impossible" Ella said, giggling lightly.
"I know" I groaned.
"But I might know what to get your mind off all these" Ella said excitedly.
"What?" I asked lifting my head from the table slightly to study the all too familiar glint of her ocean blue eyes
"Spa day" she squealed.
"Maybe I guess, it's worth a shot" I said thoughtfully.
"Good. Let's say next Saturday. You, me, Lizzy and..." Ella paused.
"And who?" I asked propping my elbow on the table
"To be honest I don't know. Who do you think can join us?" she asked bringing out a tube of gloss from her purse, reapplying it on her lips. I rolled my eyes
"I think you, me and Lizzy will be enough. Spa day and girls night out, it'll be fun" I said smiling.
"Great, I'll let Lizzy know as well" El said. "But now let's go shopping" El said getting up from her seat swiftly. My eyes bulged as if they would pop out any second
"Girl it's-" I paused to check the time on my phone "-10:30pm, don't you think it's too late for shopping" I said getting up from my seat since I was done for today..
She gasped dramatically making me roll my eyes "It's never too late for shopping" she said tossing her hair to the side, standing on her right hip. I rolled my eyes shaking my head.
"Whatever you say girl, but don't you think we need a change of clothes first?" I said looking down at my attire which consisted of a cream coloured short lace gown with a black blazer, accompanied by a pair of black flats

"What's wrong with what we're wearing?" she asked looking at her what she wore then raised her head to look at me quizzically.
She had on more causal clothes than what I was on. She wore a short grey gown with a flannel shirt tied to her waist. To top it all, she had on white sneakers with a black hat on her head.

"Nothing jeez" I said laughing at the expression etched on her face
"Good" she remarked, getting into the passenger's seat of my car as we had already got out of the company and were now in the parking lot
"Did I give you the permission to get in my car?" I asked her jokingly.
"Well I'm in it and there's nothing you can do about it" she said sticking her tongue out at me childishly.
I shook my head. "Alright to the mall we go" I said putting on my seat belt.
"Wooh, the mall here we come" Ella shouted making me chuckle at her excitement practically oozing out of her
Driving out of the lot, Ella and I blasted the speakers of the car with several raps by different rappers.
