"I should better get going before my termination letter arrives. I do not want to face any more embarrassing situation. "
She straightened her back and stepped forward, striding through the empty arcade.
Her steps were not dignified because of the slight pangs of pain and dizziness which was occurring again. She cursed herself for not being able to sleep.
"Maybe if I leave early I can save my face. After all no one knows me here and the letter would arrive to my postal address."
She hurried towards another elevator who was about to close as the woman in black mid thigh skirt and similar shaded coat left the thing.
"I'm sorry. I really am, I did not see you."
Her legs dragged and bumped her silhouette into that lady's, who at once fell because of sudden jerk.
"It's oh-kay."
The lady was an embodiment of beauty with those grey sockets and raven black hair, her sharp facial features were enough to garner the attention.
The formality of explicit dressing was not required to her to steal the light in the crowd. She was picking up the files and scattered white documental pages when paused for a moment.
"Is there, anything on my face?"
Seeing her wide opened mouth and expanding orbs Syna became curious about her appearance at once.
"No, my love. You are gorgeous. I just got carried away."
She chuckled lowly more likely in surprise and tapped on her shoulder as she picked up the last file.
"You are?"
The lady questioned Syna asking for her reason to be there.
"Oh I - I applied for the secretary vacancy. Guess I passed or so."
Syna gave a nervous laugh to which response she raised her both brows.
"Oh girl. I'm glad you applied and wish you luck with this task."
She genuinely smiled and stared for a brief moment at her face, which made Syna quizzical.
"See you around."
The lady clutched the files to her perky chest and walked out of her sight.
"Finally, she is back!"
She looked heavenwards and let out a deep sigh.
Syna was left with a puzzled expression, shrugged and strode towards the elevator.
Upon reaching the parking lot she dashed out passing through those luxurious cars, unmoved. As she did not notice them or maybe she was screaming inside while her pace became fast.
High above the soaring building, standing close to the full wall window a man smirked keenly watching her activity.
[An abrupt ring]
"Oh my goodness! Who is calling me at this hour?"
She jumped out of her thoughts upon the abrupt ring of her cell phone.
Syna rattled for her cell phone in the shoulder bag as the ringtone ended once and started again.
"Oh!"
She made an O-shaped face after watching the screen which was already shining, showing a certain number on it.
"Hel-l"
As soon she brought the cell phone close to her ear to greet the person on the other side.
A loud scolding filtered the air that Syna had to shove back the cell phone, covering her ear which was about to bleed because of shriek.
"Lolita calm down, girl."
She endlessly tried to explain something to the person on other side who was speaking without bothering to pause for listening to reply.
"I can explain Loli, would you please stop for a few seconds and listen to me?"
Syna raised her voice flinching her eye lids but the lady speaker scolded her badly, blabbering about how lethargic and careless she was.
"Okay, yeah fine."
She rubbed her temples which were getting stained by drops, shinning like salty beads on her face.
"I'm on my way to exit. Yes I know I have to treat you a meal. I'm coming, wait for me at our place."
She ended the call with a sigh of relief. Friends can be troublesome at times. Syna stood outside the building preparing herself to exit through the parking, perhaps she was aware of the thought of entering into that mysterious lion's lair!
The huge building behind her was completely decorated with glass work,it was impressive that she thoughtfully praised. She recalled herself the reason for what she was there, that she should not get befooled by those sensations.
They were nothing but an illusion of happiness! She reminded herself that she was there on a mission, to hunt down her prey!
