ELIZABETH POV

Today marked twenty years of living on planet earth oxygen and seven months at Sparkes Enterprise.Work have never been easy and the owner was still as silent and unknown as a ghost. Mrs Kimberly the old lady acts less strict towards me now but still bombard me with loads of work. The
pay is hundred percent worth the stress though,but I am still complaining.

I was seated on my chair beaming happily for the gift of life when Mrs Kim screamed so loud I almost gave up a ghost. She wasn't that nice but I still felt the need to check up on her and upon my arrival, dizziness suddenly crept upon me and the hairs on my body stood at alert. A lifeless body lay at her feet with a knife passed through his heart but there was no blood. Different thoughts came rushing to my brain and I wondered how it was possible that blood wasn't evident.

Not even a single taint of blood,I keenly observed .I looked at Kim ma and she looked at me,her breathing organs had stopped unconsciously,her eyes fixed to the dead body and body turned white,like even she was losing her life. In a nano second I moved towards her and whispered directly into her ear while staying extremely close to her like a magnet. Her breaths were uneven and terribly strained like she could give up soon.

"Breathe Kimberly, Breathe.
Its okay, nothing's gonna happen to you"

I soothe her gently and ran my arms through hers to bring her out of the invisible trance she's gotten into

"I don't k-kno-ow hho-w it g-got here"

She shivered and her voice strained like her life depended on that sentence. For someone who was very strict and principled,I didn't expect her to be this shaky or worked up. She was gasping deeply for air and shaking terribly that I was almost forced to slap the shock out of her.

Truly,how do we explain a dead body at 2:15pm in this kind of organization?The question is literally out of it,the answer would suffice

"Come on ma'am let's go"

She looked back at me and drew me into a hug,now her temperature is getting back to normal and her breaths are becoming less forced. The one who dropped a dead body in Sparkes Enterprise surely wasn't just an ordinary middle class being and would definitely clean it up.

Her steps were unbelievably slow I refused to believe she was the same woman who would walk around everywhere hurriedly to assign jobs or deliver messages. But I kept on rubbing her arms and assuring her that everything was fine.

The organisational environment still amazes me though,as to how come no one showed up at the scene at the sound of her scream or even walked by. What kind of people are here,what really is this place? I very well know that these questions shouldn't flood my mind right now but I just couldn't help it.

"Never bombard your little innocent mind with worldly questions. Thinking about them leads you to an unexpected destruction caused unconsciously or consciously."

That was rule number fifteen from the book of law and rules, never for once have I violated it until recently when I started working here,which is a bad sign.I needed to shut down my mind from thinking before it really gets inhabited to me and detachment gets difficult. We finally got to her office and settled her down,passing her a bottle of water to relieve herself.

I was now back to mine, wrapping up the work at hand when I came across a file that contains information about the other woman and the dead one,their pictures and data.

Holy mother!

What really is this place?
Who am I working with and for?

The questions longed to resurface from the depth of my heart but again I had to push it away. Thinking only makes the mind go wild and beyond.

Recomposing myself,my table vibrated and the screen of my phone flashed by my eyes

"Lizzie baby, how's work?Come back home soon. I've made preparations for your birthday"

Mum's angelic voice raced through my whole body and I felt at ease once again. My birthday,the thought of what's to come at home reduced the stress and turmoil I've had since today that I couldn't wait to clear my table to rush back home to mama.

I realized I haven't responded because I was still calming my stressed mind so I spoke back onto the phone only to hear her deep breath of relief when I said I'd be coming back soon. There was absolutely no one like my mum and I love her with everything I am

Apart from meeting the surprise she planned for me,I also have a disheartening news to share with her on this auspicious day. Work was done,I was finally through then I started searching and surfing the internet and relevant sites for where to start getting a new source(s) of income from.

I was resigning.

My resignation letter should be the first document Kimberly ma'am sees tomorrow morning.
