LOVE AGAIN

The boss came in with his two securities, which I recognized, they’re the ones that came the other day with the former boss.

They look like kids beside because of the height difference, he completely stood out and made them invisible.

His fashion sense is more than my poor mind can ever think of.

“Good morning sir”.

We chorused.

Other female colleges couldn’t hide their excitement, I too was excited, still can’t believe we are working with an icon like this.

But i am sure that isn’t all about their excitement, it and something to do with his looks.

“So you are going to be my team? Pathetic, will make a lot of changes”.

Wow what a reply, I and Daniel looked at each other as if we were the only ones he was talking about.

“You”.

I looked up, my breath almost cut, he’s looking at me.

“What are you wearing, do you know anything about fashion at all?”he questioned.

Before I could reply, other girls burst out laughing.

The men were mature enough to withhold the laugh.

Daniel tapped my shoulder as a consolidation.

“Sorry sir, it’s my best outfit”.

“You don’t belong here if that’s your best”he sneered then turned to another colleague.

“That’s not real Gucci”.

“It’s fake…sir”.

“Fake what!!!…. are you trying to insult Gucci?”

“No sir….. I don’t know what to say again”.

I was sad about a minute ago but that guy’s reply cracked me up.

Worse, I have a bad habit of laughing out loud, literally.

I don’t laugh classically , I laugh loud enough to make another person laugh, Daniel told me one, my laughter is very contagious.

Daniel heard me and laughed a little too, but seeing the boss’ cold stare , we had to swallow every amusement piling up inside of us.

“My apologies boss”I said immediately.

“You are as ugly as your laugh”

The boss replied, wow that one hit me, a thunderous laughter from others buried me, I don’t think I will ever laugh again.

“Don’t let it get to you”

Daniel whispered.

I smile back

“That’s by the way, I need to taste your abilities, first show me your talent , design anything, and please this is not a local fashion brand, don’t bring Ankara styles for me”.

“Excuse me sir”Jennifer interrupted, in a tiny learned seductive voice. She looked well prepared for today and was in her best outfit today.

Here we go again, I said in my mind with an eye roll.

Jenny was given permission to proceed.

“Someone among us here is totally off, that lady over there”she pointed at me.

“she is not meant to be here at all, as you said she has no sense of fashion”.

“And you are?”

The boss asked curiously.

“Let me introduce myself probably, I am Jenny, the former boss’s assistant”.

“More like he is your handbag”I muttered, only audible to Daniel. he tried not to laugh at that.

The new boss stared at her from up to down.

“Let’s talk in my office after this”.

“Aww thanks”she replied with a wink.

I thought this cold looking new boss who seems like he can’t even smile won’t be a womanizer but men will be men, that body of Jennifer can’t be resisted by even the devil himself, congrats to her.

She got another hooked up to her trap.

“Get back to work!!”

That was an order from the boss, and all of us went back to our different offices.

This is my chance to get my job back, I had to think smart and fast.

It’s almost Easter , a wedding dress design will do or should I go demin, people love jeans these days.

“Let me go wedding dress”

I put on my system and went to my previous works, the pic of my dream wedding dress I designed was my wallpaper, it made me a bit sad to see it after all that drama.

I sighed deeply

“What did you do back then?”

I looked at the voicers direction, it was Jennifer, I guess she must have heard me.

“What?”

“You said something about handbag, look bitch, I don’t exchange words with people like you, but don’t push me beyond my limits, as soon as I get this new handsome boss, you will suffer in this company”.

“You first make a joke of me,”I replied in a low tone.

“Because it’s a joke, bitch. Don’t you dare , or you will be kicked out for sure”.

She went back to her corner, her neighbor my bestie or former bestie Kamsy gave her a high five for the confrontation.

I tried not to give them attention, I focused on my work

It’s not as easy as I thought.

Daniel came as i was rounding up

“Wow, mind-blowing!!!”.

I quickly closed my system.

“Stop peeping at my work Dan”,

I said slowly, my mood was changed because of the Jennifer girl, I went on and asked him about his

“Are you done? What’s your theme?”

“Bikini”.

“Bikini? We’re in Winter, Dan bikini should be a summer design!”

I snapped, disappointed.

“Oh sorry I did not think about that, after all I am not as smart as you”.

“I hope he likes it , you love bikinis?”

“Well what of you, obsessed with wedding gowns?”he slammed me.

We laughed at each other but I was Indirectly sad, a wedding dress I won’t ever put on on a second thought. I think I’m being harsh on myself, I can still find love again.

“Well better roundup our time is almost up”.

Daniel suggested.

I nodded and started cleaning up my work, I used a biracial model since our boss is also biracial, to gain his favor.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Few minutes later, I saw the boss through my glass wall as he came out of the office with Jennifer behind him, she walked back to her corner with a smirk on her lips, the upper part of her blouse unbuttoned.

I wonder if she finished her own work, oh I forgot she didn’t have to work, or maybe she just did her part in the boss’s office.

We all went to the conference room, and our flash drives were submitted for review.

First one was Dan’s own. We both closed our eyes, I was praying silently.
