CHAPTER 15: GO AWAY

Jannah stood in front of the mirror as she does her makeup. She picked up a matte oxblood lipstick and applied it over her lips as a finishing touch. She looked at herself in the mirror. The raven blouse she had on is tucked in matching high waist denim. She tied on a black turban on her head and to finish the look an oxblood with light touches of black blazer and a matching handbag.

She needed to look her very best today because today is the beginning for her.

Today's look represents how she's getting back to business after what happened with Mr. S to everyone at work.

Today's look represents how her mental breakdown two days ago won't take a toll on her to her family.

For some reason she likes to hide behind fashionable clothes and heavy makeup, she uses that to make people think she's ok when deep down she really isn't. But that's not what matters most right now.

She picked up her car key and slipped her phone into her bag before heading downstairs. No one has woken up yet, and if they have, they didn't come out yet so she left the house without any questions.

She arrived at work pretty early wanting to finish her pending work first as she had missed enough work days and is lagging behind due to the drawback. No one was at work yet so that allowed her to work in peace without any commotion to distract her.

By the time she's halfway done, people have started coming so she decided to get something to eat first before coming back. She ignored the looks she kept getting and with her head held up high she walked out and headed downstairs.

"Jannah!"

She turned to see Miss Angelo standing with another woman beside her whom is dressed similar to that of Jannah's but different color and instead of a blzer, the girl had on a knee length coat.

Jannah turned her attention to Anna before she gets called out for staring at a guets for too long, "Yes Miss Angelo"

Anna and the lady walked towards her. Anna smiled for the first time since Jannah met her and it was a genuine one. She reached out her hand to hold one of Jannah's, "hey, how are you feeling?"

"Better than ever"

"Look I'm sorry about-"

"Can we not talk about it please?" Jannah cut her off, "It's all in the past let's not bring it up" she stated curtly and by the look in her eyes Anna knew she meant business so she nodded.

"If that's what you want" For someone that had always been bossy and strict Anna sure is being nice to Jannah whom didn't know whether to take this as a good sign or as a bad one. "Are you heading out?"

"Yeah to get some breakfast" Jannah nodded.

"Good. This right here" Anna pointed at the girl standing next to her, "Is a friend of mine and we were about to get breakfast together but I just got a call and I need to be somewhere right now so can you please take her with you?"

Jannah wanted to decline it but the look on Anna's face stated that she really need someone to take care of this guest of hers so she just nodded with a fake smile etched on her face, "Sure. I'd love to" If any of the two ladies noted the sarcasm in her tone, they ignored it.

"Gracias" Anna smiled at the lady, "I'll leave you with Jannah. I'll see you later then we can catch up"

The lady nodded, "Sure"

They watched as Anna ran off to run her errands that seemed really important because she didn't even leave the building before she started making phone calls.
