I woke up next morning, got ready for office as fast as possible because I had to get that watch fixed and to find its owner. I went downstairs, ate my breakfast which contained tasty noodles which tasted like heaven, I kissed my mom on the cheek and was off to my office. I took my Jaguar and drove, there was a red light where I had to stop for long. A recognisable jacked caught my eye, "It was the same jacket which the person who saved me was wearing!", How can I not recognise it, after all that person saved my life. "But what if it's only an identical one, and not the one which belonged to my lifesaver?, Hmm.. let's just get going." I thought.
I reached my office, Escape Pvt., Even the structure of office building was decided by my father, it was really gorgeous and elegant looking in and out. The tiles were skin coloured plane marble, the desks were mostly made of wood which made it look more beautiful, the couches were warm and really fluffy, even the scenery outside the top of this building was mesmerizing, tall trees bordered the land, mostly all colours of flowers were present in the garden and orchids were my most favourite of them all because they looked beautiful. After the death of my dad, his office became mine and there was way too much to handle as I had no previous experience of these kind of things. I studied to handle this company in a week, it was really burdensome, but I had to, atleast for my dad.
I had to hire a person to be my personal assistant as I was still a bit tangled in all of this, so I asked the manager to bring me the resumes of all the applicants. I personally had to do this, after all he/she is going to be my personal assistant. My manager stacked the resumes on my table with a thump. I was a bit shocked by seeing the pile of papers,
"How many people applied?!, When am I even going to complete these?." I asked myself, still staring at that huge pile.
"I am going ma'am, please go through these as soon as possible." Manager left, "Soon.. yeah, this is not going to complete 'soon'." I sighed and started my work after clicking my knuckles and adjusting myself on the chair.
I went through half of resumes and decided to take a break to reward myself for doing this much work. I stood at my office's balcony and gazed into the sky, it was a beautiful coloured sky with birds chirping and a cool breeze carrying my worries. It was almost twilight, the sky was illuminated in light purple shade. I still had to complete my work, so after taking a deep breath of fresh air, I went to my desk.
The work was done and I sighed in relief. But I thought that tomorrow, I'll have to interview these people, "Ugh.. I hate my brain right now." I thought as I was just done with these stuff, "Why can't I not think about work, isn't there anything else?" I scolded myself. "Whatever, let's just go." I decided and stepped out of my workplace after informing my manager. I was just exausted and decided to stop at a café for refreshment. While sitting in the café, "Why can't I just think about anything else?!" I growled, and everyone started staring at me, "This day just can't get any worse." and I remembered that I had forgotten about that broken watch!, "Oh just great.", I had decided to look for the owner of this watch by myself, but this day had been so hectic for me, I just didn't remember. I wondered "Why did the man dissapear after saving me?." I thought, slurping my coffee. "Oh!, I can check the CCTV!. Yes!, Finally a good idea", after finishing my coffee, I rushed to check the CCTV footage because I can't wait till tomorrow, I have no patience for anything.
The guard let me in as I had access to the CCTV as I was pretty famous, Atleast I got one advantage for being famous. I got the permission from the head and went into the monitoring room where all the footages were. I had got the permission because I told that I wanted to check the car's number template which was about to hit me, I had to, in order to see the recordings, I needed a valid reason though, I can't just get in by saying that I wanted to see the man who saved me, it wasn't valid enough. Then I remembered the time and the officer displayed the recording of that night. "Why?! Why is it not showing?!." I asked the officer, "I don't know, the CCTV's are working perfectly, only the footage of your accident is not showing. Let me check once again, I am sure I'll get through it." The officer started clicking the keyboard keys. "Nothing. Why is there nothing?." I exclaimed, "We are sorry ma'am, there was no hacking for sure, but we will keep trying and let you know when we get the footage back." The officer assured me and I went back to my home. "Am I forbidden to look at the CCTV footages of cars or what?" I sighed.
The next day, I had some interviews so I went to my office. I had started them but no one was good enough, one boy just said that "I'll get a good amount of money by working here, and I want to spend them that's why I will like to work here.", And one girl just went all nervous, she didn't say much just her name that's all, I asked her a few questions and she answered too, but I didn't understand them, I sighed. Why do they even do that? I mean I understand their nervousness but still. I will love if someone just says that "I love gaming and I want to help this company grow.", but I believe that someone atleast one person will say this. "I am done!" I gave up, "You need to find someone ma'am." my manager reminded me, "Ok, only 5 more persons, if I don't find anyone appealing enough.. I just find a way to do it all myself." I continued and then a boy came in.
He was young, grey haired with beautiful blue eyes and it was a bit strange appearance. He looked innocent, I was staring at him and it just felt weird. He kept calling me and I snapped out and continued the interview. I was really impressed by him, not because he was cute but he was talking like a very knowledgeable person. I asked him "Why would you choose this company?", He replied " I just want to improve my knowledge by helping this company". Well, it did sound a bit weird but it was one of the best reply I had in this whole day. I also looked at his resume which showed that he had worked at plenty of gaming companies before, which was good as he had experience before so I didn't have to teach him.
I had some of good candidates but I will choose between them tomorrow, I have done enough for today. I went to get some information about the broken watch. The shopkeeper said that he hadn't seen this type of watch and he was sure that either this is very old model which is no more in the market or there is no model like this, "See, there's no company stamp behind this watch, not even on the belt.", "But what if the stamp was erased by use or the cover was changed?" I asked with curiosity, "No ma'am, these type of stamps are not easily erased, and even if the cover was changed still it would've a stamp." He answered. "Ok thanks, but do you know any shops where these types of old watches are kept?", "Yes, there are plenty. But only one shop which is nearby, it is right across the street." Said the shopkeeper. After saying "Thank you.", I went to that shop, it was really old. I went and saw that there was an old lady looking after the shop. "Hello ma'am, can you please tell me about this watch?" I asked the old lady who was cleaning her watches like they were the most precious thing for her. She was looking at my watch for so long, so I asked her if she knew something about it or should I search for it somewhere else. She suddenly looked into my eyes and told me "This watch was purchased from here but where did you get it?, It was brought by a boy and not a girl." She asked, "This watch fell from the hand of the person who saved me from an accident." I replied, "Yes, I remembered that it was a boy, I don't easily forget things after all." Said the old lady with happiness, "Can you tell me who bought it?" I asked, "I don't have his information." granny said, "Not even his name?" I asked hoping that she doesn't forget things easily, "Yes! I remember, finally. I thought that I threw away these garlic, they are a bit expensive for me and I can't find them easily too." Granny seemed to forgot what I asked, "Granny, I asked if you know who bought this watch.", "Oh yes! The watch, yes I remember him, he was so eager to buy this watch, he bought this watch double the price because one more person came to buy this watch. They both seemed to know each other, and his name was... umm.. yes! His name was Haru, Haru Webb, he also told me his name." Granny seemed to be pleased by telling me all this, "Thank you granny" I left.
"Haru… hmm.. pretty cute name. I think I've seen this name before." I tried to remember after tucking myself in my bed and slept after a long day.
