LOVE AGAIN

*AT THE COMPANY THE NEXT DAY**

I felt much better , I cried all night long as Dan said but after my shower this morning I felt a lot better, proud I was bold enough to put Luke into place.

I had another thing set in mind, forget about everything to do with Mr Prince.

The thought of it only gave me chills but I know I can do this, there’s this hate I feel suddenly towards him that proves me right.

I put on my best outfit and applied natural makeup to cover my dark circles from tiredness and puffy eye bags from crying.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

We drove closer to the company and took a deep breath with my eyes closed. Seeing the face of that monster will take a lot of energy for me to not overthink.

The cab stopped me in front of the company and I got out of the car and paid the driver.

“Thanks”.

I smiled at him after he gave me my change. I looked at the tall building, the tallest in the city, as if it was my first time in our company and started walking towards the double giant glass door.

Just then the door security automatically opened.

Mr Prince, surrounded by his security and his secretary, were approaching the door at the same time as me.

Our eyes met, I looked away forcefully then we both walked past each other, like the other was invisible , my throat tightened. I didn’t look back. I got into the office, and searched for Daniel, he wasn’t here yet.

I wonder if all is well with him, I went to his desk, cleaned it up and arranged his files ignoring the glances from our colleagues. I thought I never appreciated Daniel enough , he had been an elder brother, father and a friend each time I needed him as one.

From the day I wanted to commit a suicide to yesternight and many more times he saved me from Luke. I plugged his system and put it on , smiled at the picture of us , giving a goofy pose on his dp.

I had to sit down and stare at it. I could remember that day at the beach, we got our body covered with sand, and I took a lot of pictures of him and his girlfriend then he asked for just one of us, I made a goofy face , he laughed at me and proceeded to mimicking my facial expression, then his girl took the picture.

That was when she got into the relationship and took me as Danel’s little sister.

She was quite aware I am not but our closeness made her give me that title but after a while she gets jealous as she should and hates everything that looks like me. Reason I don’t like being so close to Daniel in her presence.

“Please don’t tell me I was fired and replaced by a pretty woman”.

Daniel’s voice sounded in front of me. I looked up from the computer , surprised at first to see him in front of me then pouted trying not to blush.

“You are late, I was worried about you”.

He said to me. I got up and walked to hug him.

“Good morning Daniel”.

“How are you feeling today?”

“Thanks so much Daniel “I replied, ignoring the question.

“That’s not my question”. he chuckled then slowly released me from the hug.

He touched my cheek, his eyes asked a lot of questions but I could tell he was avoiding upsetting me.

“We will talk later”.

He nodded and smiled at me. I picked up my handbag and walked off to my desk. I said prayers and started arranging my stuff. Just when the boss returned with his secretary, I didn’t know if he looked over to my desk, because I didn’t try to look at him.

Then I saw another man walking , he looked like a CEO or some important business executive, surrounded by his team, they went straight into the modeling department.

I noticed a diamond logo on the face cap and polo of some of the team mates, I shrugged and went on processing my designs .

Few minutes later his secretary walked into our department with a woman and a tag labeled senior photographer, I could remember that I saw her with that business executive that walked in minutes ago.

“Why can’t I get the perfect model?”

She snapped walking over towards Kamsy’s desk as if she was inspecting.

Kamsy was surrounded with three female colleagues probably gossiping there , when they saw the woman approaching, they separated to their various locations.

“Ma’am we have the best models, you should have a word with the boss if you are not satisfied with our team”.

I tried not to get distracted and continued my work , just then I found her in front of me.

“Aha, she is the perfect size. You are needed in the studio”.

I looked up confused, not sure I heard right but I could tell she just spoke to me, I looked back at the rest of our colleagues and Daniel , they were curious too.

“Eh?”

That was the only thing that came out of my mouth.
