This morning, she turned on her bed and a tune rang into her ears.Giselle had set her alarm the previous night to ring by 6AM this morning, so she wouldn't be late for work. Afterall, it will be her first day at work. Getting into the bathroom, she took off her clothes. Grabbed the sponge and soap and rubbed her body when she merged both. She came out of the bathroom and graced her fine body with her body cream, then wore the already washed and ironed dress the car splashed puddles on. And then, selected the handbag of her choice. She walked into the living room when she sprayed perfume on her body and met Thomas drinking tea from a cup, "good morning, Tom," She greeted Thomas."Who is the latest employee in town?" Thomas asked teasingly."Giselle Jones, I am," She answered laughing."Good morning, how was your sleep?" He asked after hugging her shortly."Fine, how was yours?" She asked, drinking tea from the cup Thomas handed to her. "Fine too, want a ride?" Thomas asked. "Naaa
Work life had started fully for Giselle and it was fun for her."Don't kill yourself with this job," Thomas once said when he woke up by midnight and saw her working with her laptop system.Laughing at the statement, she answered, "naaaaa, I can't. But, I have to finish this job before tomorrow," She answered, sipping from her glass."How is your friend?" Thomas had asked."What friend?" She asked."Helen," He answered."Well, she's fine. Working hard," She answered. "What are you up to by this time of the night, Thomas?""Can't I have a drink in my house again? I want to have a drink," He answered and left for the kitchen. He came out with a glass of juice.They had their juice together, chatted for a while, and Giselle continued with her work.It was exactly one week after her resumption at Rock company, she got to work that day. "Good morning, Helen," She greeted her friend and walked to her desk."Hi, sweetie. Have a nice day at work," Helen said, hugging her shortly. "Good morn
It was the weekend, Thomas and Giselle went for a visit at their parent's house.On their way to the city, they bought refreshments for their parents. "Mom should like this one," Giselle said, observing a chocolate cake."Pay for it yourself, afterall you are working," Thomas said, holding an object he found attractive.They arrived at the house late in the afternoon, after ringing the house bell, Ellen appeared at the door and gave a loud scream: "My babies!" She opened the door wider and hugged Giselle first before hugging Thomas."I thought someone didn't see me at first," Thomas teased, hugging his mother."How couldn't I?" Ellen smiled, taking a small bag from Giselle."He is jealous, mom," Giselle said, hugging Ellen again. "How was your trip down here?" Ellen asked when they finally settled on the chairs."Fine, mom. I had to wake Giselle very early to prepare for this journey. You know how she sleeps," Thomas said, looking towards Giselle's direction."Must you always embarra
Tuesday morning;"The CEO visits tomorrow!" It rang in Giselle's ear and she jumped up on her bed."Good morning!" She greeted Thomas in a hurry, storming out of the house."Easy, Gis! What's up with you?" Thomas asked, observing."The CEO visits today, I'm in a hurry to finish with today's work before his arrival," Giselle said, putting her keys in her handbag."Tea?" Thomas asked, handing his own cup of tea to Giselle."Naaaaa, I'm fine. I'll sort myself out at work. Thank you," She said walking out from the door."Have a nice day at work!" Thomas screamed at her when she already left."Thank you," Giselle muttered, running to the gate.She flagged down a cab, after negotiating with the driver she hopped into the cab and they moved in the direction of Rock company.She got down from the cab and heaved a sigh of relief, "thank you, sir," She greeted the cab man after handing him his pay, then stormed into the company."Good morning, you're at work early today," Janet, the cleaner at
She was mad at herself for saying 'sorry' to this man, she remained bowed, unmoving. "You may lift your head," He said, laughing.She lifted her head, angry at herself for saying 'sorry' to Mr. Greg."I forgive you for throwing your spittles on me, and also spending my money. And slapping my worker inclusive," His voice thundered, deep.She still didn't talk. "Leave my office," He commanded."What!?" She asked, surprised."Leave my office. Or do you have something to offer?" He smiled, looking in her direction."No, I don't. You, you…….you should apo…lo..gize," Giselle found herself stammering."What for?" He asked, looking at her eyes and smiling."You should apologise for splashing puddles on my dress!" She said with a louder voice."I paid for another dress, Miss. I gave you fifty dollars!" He said, changing the tone of his voice."It doesn't change anything," She said again."Ohhh, really? I thought otherwise. Now, leave my office!" He commanded, looking at his system to face hi
Raging with anger in his office, Greg sat back on his chair. It was Friday morning.Mr. Greg looked at his system again and stood up throwing an object at his office door. Just then, Mr. Hayden, the Manager, walked in with shock, "what's the problem, sir?" He dodged the object that almost hit him. Looking at the Manager with an angrier face, he got closer holding the man on his neck, "you bastard!"Struggling with his own neck for breath, Hayden begged, "would you please calm down, sir? What's the problem?" Realising what he just did, he withdrew his hand from Hayden's shirt, went to the face of his system, "take a look," He invited, showing him something on his computer system."What!?" Hayden looked again to be sure of what he just saw."Who did this?" Greg asked, holding another object and sitting on his chair again."I….. have no….. idea," Hayden stammered.Getting up from his seat again, he graced him with a slap that landed him on the floor. Groaning in pain, Hayden begged,
Few days after Giselle's suspension from work:Giselle stayed back at home, Ellen left a few days after she was suspended."I'll miss you, mom," She cried that day. "I'll be home all alone while Thomas goes to his office everyday.""I'll miss you too, baby!" Ellen had consoled, hugging her daughter shortly. "You'll resume soon, you know?""I know, I'll still be here for a while! One more week and a few days," She cried. And here, she was all alone, unplanned. She couldn't video chat with her friend, Helen. She was always busy during the day with work and always had to wait for night calls. Thomas went to work everyday, leaving Giselle all alone at home. He always came back in the evenings. Most times when he arrived, Giselle was in her room snoring.Meanwhile, at Rock company: Erica enjoyed her stay at the office. With thoughts of having the CEO to herself all alone."How is your friend?" She had once asked Helen."Which of them?" Helen asked back, knowing fully she was referring to
"She came out with a red face, her eyes were teary. I know I saw tears," Helen said to her friend."Hell No! The CEO beats women too?" Giselle asked, looking at her friend.It was a day after Erica's exposure and a week after Giselle's suspension from work. Helen was at Giselle's house this weekend.She gave her the updates from work, making Giselle laugh like a small lady."How did you know he beat her up, Helen?" Giselle asked, wanting to hear more about the incident."I wouldn't say, I just felt that way after Mr. Declan's call," Helen answered."Mr. Declan, who is he?" Giselle asked, confused."Well, a man who says he wants to know the truth behind your suspense from work. I think he has a connection with the CEO," Helen said, laughing."Ohhh, dear! I'm in trouble.""I didn't know he was sent, I just didn't think well before giving him answers," Helen said."It's fine, I may not return to that company for another resumption. Helen," Giselle cried."You will, I told the man the tru
