Annika shuffles through her files, irritated at the fact that she could not get hold of a particular file which had information she needed at the moment. Throwing her hands up in frustration, she let her forehead touch the table with a bang. She was beyond screwed, the meeting was in some minutes and she couldn't remember where the hell she had kept her file. Annika tried hard to think and to remember where she would have kept it but no luck, her mind was just blank.

She groaned out, getting up from her seat, she went through her cupboard to find it. Annika cursed herself under her breath, if only she had taken her mother's advice and ate almonds, she would have remembered it by now. When she heard the door to her office room open, she almost shrieked, thinking it was Mrs Rai who was here but no, it was Alisha standing with a look of amusement on her face as she took notice of the mess her co-worker had made.

"Trouble in paradise?" Alisha asked, leaning against the door with her arms crossed, Annika continued to throw files after files from the cupboard much to Alisha's horror. She had never seen Annika being so messy and frustrated, this was the first. She wondered what else was going to be first if Annika continued to throw things. "Hey, what are you looking for?" Alisha piped, her voice loud but seeing no acknowledgement from her, she sighed out.

Annika sat down with a sigh, looking up at Alisha who was still standing there with a worried expression. "A file. An important one, had information about the last year's interview of Mr. Sullivan, it's needed by Mrs Rai. I'm screwed" Alisha raises her eyebrows, nodding her head after seconds. She sits down on the chair in front of her.

"What's the colour of the file? And by any chance did you take it home? Try hard to remember" Alisha suggests but all Annika does is panic, her mind is completely blank and she has no idea where to focus her mind on so as to figure out when she last saw the file.

But then, it suddenly clicks in her mind. And when she remembers where possibly she could have left the file, Annika mutters curses under her breath which does not go unnoticed by Alisha. "Guessing by the way you are cursing yourself, you probably remember where the file is, now go, get it before you're extremely late for the meeting" Nodding, Annika watches as Alisha gets up from the chair.

She draws a deep breath and gets her phone off the table. Typing down a message to her boyfriend who was now probably sleeping peacefully. She left guilty for troubling him on his off day. It was not everyday when Shivaay got a day off. She needed the file urgently so she decided to call him instead.

The phone rang for some seconds before Shivaay picked it up. "Hey" His voice sounded sleepy but still she felt herself drowning in his intoxicating voice. She shakes her head, not wanting to get distracted at the worst time. "Hey, I need your help, I'm so sorry for disturbing you but this is urgent"

"What happened, tell me, if you need anything, I'll be there in minutes"

"When yesterday you picked me up and if you remember, I had a black file with me and I think I kept it in the backseat and totally forgot to take it back with me. The file is really important and I need it at this moment. So please if you can, bring it to me" Annika requests, her guilt doesn't subside when she does so, sighing, she hears the shuffling from the other end.
