Taking courage again, he walked up to where his phone was and tried calling her number once again. And after several minutes a voice spoke, "Sorry, this number you're trying to call is unavailable. Thank you." A feminine, thick voice spoke from the other side of the phone, then a three sound beep was heard.Angered yet again, he threw his phone across the room in anger then murmured, "Hannah why? Why are you doing this to me? It's not just fair." **********The wind blew gustily across the room of Hannah, making an entrance through a tiny hole in the window, then blowing her hair gently.She groaned sleepily, turning to the other side of the bed to sleep. It seemed like nature was against her sleeping, the birds chirped louder than before, and the yelling of her father and mother accompanied the noise of her not sleeping.She groaned even louder, turning uneasily on the bed, taking her pillow, she covered her ears tightly, but still the noise didn't lessen."How
"Yes," She managed to say and parted her lip to say more, "How can I help you?" She asked.The man sighed huskily, then went on to continue talking, "Our company would like to collaborate with your company." The man said, his voice more louder than before waiting for her answer."What?" Her voice shakingly said, she felt like she was hearing nonsense as she just woke up. She cleaned her eyes gently, waiting patiently for his answer. "You heard me right, Miss Hart. You are given some time to think thoroughly about it and give me a response, you can call me through the phone so we could speak. Good day!" He said politely. Hannah was alarmed, she wanted to ask him dozens of questions, but as she was about to speak, the loud beep of the call cutting off filled her ear.She groaned in pain, rubbing her ear slightly as her mother’s voice yelled loudly yet again, she rolled her eyes in disgust, then nodded her head.Just then, the loud vibration of her phone shook on the bed, happiness fill
"He looks cute with a smile. I must have him." A young woman seated opposite Elliot's chair reasoned inwardly. "Meeting dismissed." Elliot announced slowly, his voice spreading out to every corner of the room, and then he continued, "And you too Director Ko." He said.Director Ko was relieved, he felt like an heavy weight was removed from his heart. His once racing heart lessened little by little. Hie once weak knees were becoming strong, as he became more relieved. He felt like he was in cloud nine and happiness enveloped his whole body, hastily, he walked out.Immediately they were all out, Elliot's faced Andrew then pointed at the chair opposite it in which the woman sat. Andrew bowed slightly and walked towards the seat hurriedly."Let's hear your suggestion, Andrew." He permitted him.Andrew cleared his throat delicately, "Why don't you employ that woman here at this company? Then you can keep her here at your watch. Just a suggestion." Andrew said, his eyes fixated at Elliot's.
Elliot snapped the moment he remembered something, "Andrew," He yelled delicately, Andrew looked back at him expectantly. "Can you keep me being the CEO a secret to her till I say it's okay to tell her?"Andrew nodded, smiled a little, then walked out of the room. *********Hannah slumped tiredly at the office chair, her eyes flustered in pains, little stands of water shimmered in her eyes.She shook her head painfully, her eyes closing little by little. The office chair bounced back softly at her back as she rested peacefully."Hannah?" A thin, angelic voice called out suspiciously as she saw Hannah sleeping uncomfortably on her seat.Hannah flustered her eyes open slowly, adjusting her body on the chair. Weakly, she stared at the woman who called her name few seconds ago in curiosity, "Beatrice, what is it!" She asked weakly, her face turning into a slight frown.Her head banged loudly, turmoils everywhere. The woman looked at her gently with pitiful eyes, then
She forced her legs up and strode to the door, pushing it slightly but instead it caught the attention if everyone including Lady Hart. Lady Hart glared at her grand-daughter not minding the relationship they both hold. Her eyes were red with anger, and her face boiled with anger.The room felt awkward, and tense for those in it. They Stared in awe, they couldn't get thier eyes off the duo. Hannah shivered internally, digging the emotions to deep down inside her. Her legs were weak but they were not visible. "Why are you late?" Lady Hart forced those words from her mouth in great anger. She looked like an hungry lion ready to devour her prey any minute. Hannah stood firm, making the people shocked. "I was having a mental breakdown." She decided to say the truth.Lady Hart was confused, but she never showed that she was confused, her once wrinkled face in anger lessened a bit, then her arm filled with beads and jewelries of all sorts pointed at a chair at the middle seat.Hannah weak
Lady Hart's attention swept over to the woman in hatred, her eyes scanned the woman in just less than a second before she glared, "And who are you to speak?" She questioned the woman who just stared on in awe.Everyone was in shock and all eyes were on the woman who spoke a while ago, her pride from before turned shallow, her face was pale and she couldn't even get herself to speak a single word. She sat there, her head bowed slightly not uttering anything.Not getting a response, Lady Hart hissed in disgust before she cleared her throat, "Now, as I was saying before that sheep interrupted." She said."And what of the assignment I assigned to each one of you here, I haven't heard of any progress." She whined maturely. The people's eyes became damp once more. They usually hated the moments they needed to have company meetings with Lady Hart. It usually didn't do them any good.Her eyes turned red with rage once again, she couldn't become more angrier, she banged the table loudly causin
Her eyes didn't show any sign of pity or anything, it was just void which made her scared. She exhaled deeply then spoke again, "Please forgive me, and don't fire my colleague." She pleaded.And immediately, "Alright," Was heard in Lady Hart's mouth, then she smirked mischievously, "By the way, Hannah, who called you? By any chance Is it the man I introduced to you?" She asked, anticipating her answer.Hannah nodded slightly and could see the color of her Grandmother's eyes change immediately. Her eyes widened in fear as she fiddled with her fingers. "And who was it?" Lady Hart asked, her voice already growing louder slightly. Silence came upon the room, and Hannah couldn't answer her question, she knew she was officially done for so there was nothing to hide."Elliot," She announced. Her eyes fixated on her Grandmother's. She was scared of what her Grandmother would say.Lady Hart sat as calm on the chair, she didn't speak nor move and her eyes showed nothing, voidless as before.
Hannah walked out with her phone in her hands, all eyes of her colleagues were on her. They ran to meet her to check if she was okay because they all knew what Lady Hart could do. Thousands of questions were asked by her worrisome friends which made her happy."Hannah are you okay?" Beatrice asked, hugging her gently, then checking her body if there were scars or she was wounded. She smiled, nodding negatively."Hope you were not hurt?" Another asked."Please, don't mind whatever she says to you. You own your own life, so you live by it." A woman in her late thirties encouraged. "I'm leaving!" She suddenly announced.Everyone's eyes widened in shock, they all thought it was a joke until they saw her packing her stuffs. With a straight face, not regretting why she did that, she picked up her laptop and shoved some of her blue and red pens inside her bag. No one could say a thing, they just stared blankly at their one and only best friend leaving them in the wicked hands of Lady Hart.
