One would think a company that dealt with mere beauty products wouldn't have a lot of paperworks, but one look at Ella's desk and you would think twice about that. She stood up to stretch her back before glancing at her wall clock. She hadn't realized that it was past 3 PM already. Since she arrived work that morning she had been so busy first with series of meetings, and now with paperworks.
She picked up her phone and checked her WhatsApp messages, wondering why she was yet to hear from Ken. That was so unlike him, since he had made it an habit to always call her or drop by during lunchtime. She dialed his number and waited patiently as it rang for him to pick up.
"Hey baby! Can I call you back? I'm in the middle of something right now." Ken said and hung up before she could say anything.
