Do you believe that we all can find that one PERFECT person?
Well, Angelica Summers never did. That is, untill she met him. The Man in the White Shirt, who challenged her every beliefs. Maybe our Mr. PERFECT does exist. But how many of us get to m...
Everyone was busily bustling around the office that morning. Our new State Head was coming down to Rudnick Blvd. Branch for her maiden visit. The previous evening, the entire office got a mail regarding this. Well, everyone except me! Why? I don't know. It's like fate doesn't want to include me in important things in life. Or, maybe because some shit-brain sitting in the backend forgot to include my mail id in all the official groups. But Kaden informed me of the visit during our parking lot rendezvous where we were singing off some goods. It was there that most of our convos happened.
"The SH is visiting our branch tomorrow. So, please come on time. And come dressed appropriately. Not that I have to ask you to. You come dressed nicely everyday." he stated with a smile.
I was confused at his remark. Is he hitting on me? Or just being polite? I decided to believe the latter for the former thought, made me nauseous.
So, there we were, all dressed to perfection that day. And at about 10, I saw Mr. Randy walk into our branch. I quickly finished my client call and went out to greet him. As I was busy talking with him, I totally missed the State Head's entrance along with the one and only, Victor Russell. I had 2 clients walk in at the exact moment. So, I couldn't greet the heads. As I was busy in my cabin, trying to help out these clients, the entire branch including all the new memebers such as Susan and few others from the sales team had assembled in the Manager's cabin for the official branch photograph.

The dashing Mr. Russell walking past Angelica's cabin ^_^
I saw it all happen inside - the newbies and even the temps had joined for the photograph. The only ones in the entire branch to be left out of the official photograph were myself and the housekeeping staffs - Bill and Penny. No one had bothered to call me for the photo. Not Susan, not Rafael, heck not even Kaden and Mr. Morton. I was so pissed that day. And what made it worse was that no one had bothered to even check up on me after that incident that day. How could one not even realize that I was missing in that cabin that moment? It wasn't everyday that the heads waltz in and take pictures with the staffs. I was the youngest member there and it was supposed to be my first official photo. It all went down the drain.
The following week, while signing off on shipments Kaden was busy with his phone. As I went about my usual task of checking off items in a list, he suddenly showed me a picture.
"Do you recognize her?" he asked me. When I looked closely, it was Mrs. Manuela and her team.
"Oh. That's Mrs.Manuela's 'entire' team." I stated bluntly but enough for him to catch my tone on "entire".
"Yeah. All the other branches have also sent their picture."
"Right, and I'm sure all of them would have included their FP Associate." my brain stated but my mouth only uttered "Mm hmm."
"You're not in this photo." he was stating the obvious. What the hell was he trying to do? Pour gasoline on the fire? Though the fire was now down to just an ember. But still... to be constantly reminded of something you're trying to forget. God I wanted to throw the tab on his big fat head. "You were busy with those clients, so I didn't want to disturb you." he started explaining as though I had wanted one.
That incident was etched in my head. I felt like Orlando Bloom's character from Black Hawk Down. Damn, it was such a good movie. And I'd have loved to see Bloom in a different character. But what did the writers do? Oh yeah, they fucking make him fall off the damn chopper! I mean why would you do it? Why show the girls Bloom and just snatch him away? What were they thinking when they cast him for such a stupid role? Urgh!!

Orlando Bloom ☆_☆ Every girl's dream guy... How could they kill such a thing?!?! :(
And now when I look back at this incident after almost 2 years later, I still wish that fate had somehow helped me into that picture that day. It could have been "the photo". Something I could have very well framed and put up in my study.
