The weather was cool, with its gentle breeze tendering the ornamental trees just outside the huge five-story building, and the sky was very cloudy like a pregnant woman about to deliver her unborn baby. So was the sky ready to unleash its waters on earth that morning? But for some reason, it hasn't. Only nature knows the reasons better.
Alone in the five-story building, one of the many buildings in the industrial complex was a young cute, gentleman. Probably, late in his twenty's
He was tall, able-bodied, and has curling hair that had been carefully and specially attended to, that morning. His facial appearance was sexy and attractive.
He was Mr handsome and every lady's 'dream come true!'
His black shoes, even though they were not trending, were painstakingly polished.
His wristwatch worn on his left hand-aligned perfectly, with the fine black suit he was putting on.
He dips his left hand into his pocket to reconfirm the presence of his handkerchief, before moving both hands to his neck to tend his tie. His tie rested meticulously around his neck. It made him look more corporate than ever!
His dress code that morning could have pleased him but, he was not jubilant. His mood was not a good one at the moment and definitely, does not call for jumping all over the place like an over-fed monkey in merriment.
He seemed to be restless as he walked from one edge of the office to another. Sometimes, his hands were behind his back like a handcuffed, condemned criminal. And sometimes, they lay just in front of his abdomen.
It was a clear sign of displacement behaviors. Perhaps, his state of mind was in conflict. But, over what?
He looked at his wristwatch with anxiety and yet, she was nowhere close to the office. Although he came early, the time at the moment was 9:30 am. And still, not even the sound of her newly acquired Benz Mercedes of the latest model was heard approaching.
Every second that counts make his heart beat faster in awe.
He takes a look yet again, at her table to make sure every item on her desk was properly arranged. As he takes a closer look, it appeared some books and files had deviated from their well-arranged positions. He sighs in relief and quickly puts them back in the apt arrangement. This he did by tabbing each corner of the books and files until they were uniformly set.
Just then, a familiar car horn was heard outside. His heart jumped at once in fear. He waggled towards the window and slightly opened the curtains and peeped through the window to confirm it was her. But no! It wasn't her car. It was a passer-by with a similar car to the one he awaits. His speedy heart rate dropped, to his relief.
He walked back to the center of the office, now that his curiosity has been quenched. He folded his arms as he wander through his apprehending thoughts. He was undecided and confused.
As if he was driven by a reflex, he unfolded his hands and walked to the visitor's sit, where he sat and still maintained his gaze at the empty executive chair and desk, just in front of him. He quickly folded his two palms and brought them closer to his neck region. He made his chin rest on them. A gesture that portends worriment and a loss of thought.
He imagined what the scene would look like when she arrives. She may start by my calling him into her office. He will assume again the seat position he is currently sitting on. However, there will some differences when she arrives than now. More tensions will rise and he will be gripped with more fright.
One thing was certain, it was just a matter of time before she shows up. Then all hell will be let loose. His fate awaits at her mercy. 'Was she going to keep to her words, as she had promised?'
She had always threatened him in the past but, never executed one. Nevertheless, the severity of this particular one has been echoed solidly by his superior colleagues, who happened to have gotten first-class information about the situation.
"No!" He exclaimed loudly with a swift shake of his head in disagreement with his negative thoughts.
How could she do that after spending such a long time working here? A Life without a job was not what he had planned for. But of course, he has no choice other than to accept whatever fate has in store for him.
Suddenly, a loud persistent horn was heard again. This time there was no doubt, it was her. He stood immediately from his chair and started walking downstairs, apparently to help her with her suitcase or render any other help she might need on her way up to her office. His heartbeat has once again accelerated as he hurried down.
Just a few meters away from her car, he slowed down and tried to comport himself. He watched as the driver opened the door. Two long, fair and soft female legs were the first part of her body he spotted emerging gently from the car. Seconds later, her full body was unveiled as the driver jammed the car door behind her. She looked gorgeous! The young man coming from stairs to meet her could have attested to that if not for his current distress.
Her ten thousand dollars corporate suit entailed, she was filthy rich. Her hair was very expensive Brazilian hair. Her nails were painted with the best quality nail paint. Her make-up left a fine impression that more than one hand was needed to build such an angel.
Her Pump, High-hill shoes were probably, five thousand plus dollars. Her wristwatch was partially displaced by several bracelets worn on the same hand and almost buried by her long-sleeve suit top. Her earrings and the necklace she was wearing were made of pure diamonds. Her perfume was strongly scented and a costly one as well. It could become a Herculean task when trying to be washed off in the laundry.
Even the dumbest individuals know that everything she was putting on from head to toe was very expensive.
Her relatively, large designer's handbag she held in her hand could have contained many files and documents or maybe more. It could have contained make-up skits as well.
She stood majestically behind her car and glanced at the heavens perhaps, to better understand the reason behind the sky's sudden cloudiness. It wasn't so when she was driven off from her home. Perhaps, nature has a way of adjusting and readjusting itself.
"Hmmmmm!" She sighed and quickly wore her tinted sun-glass. She swayed her hair backward to reveal the splendor of her beauty. A tempting sight for every young man.
She began cat-walking with what appeared to be an authority from above, towards the entrance of the building. There she will be met by the young man that was awaiting his fate in her hands.
She hummed along the way with pride and a feeling of 'I'm on top of the world.' She was a young lady in her late twenties. No wonder, she feels so proud of herself, having achieved such success at her young age.
