In front of her sat the most beautiful being she had ever seen: Glowing skin, Sharp eyes, cherry plump lips and bushy but lined up eyebrows, He was just 'beautiful'. She thought. His hair was styled differently and suited his bold appearance making him more handsome.He was looking at them with a serious face but Raina was just blushing: She came to her senses " What're you thinking Raina?" She mentally slapped herself and tried to keep a normal face but their eyes met and she was staring at his brown ones which were looking at her critically.
" And who are you?"He asked with a bored expression and she looked away "I'm Raina Akeem the new assistant artist!" She introduced herself to him.
He was still giving her the same intense look which made her heart beat faster but he turned his attention to Mrs Serena who seemed like she would hide under his table if possible: " Is the sketch for the new bridge project done, I would to like see it !" He demanded in a serious tone.
"Yes Sir!"she replied before moving forward to hand him the long paper she had in her arms. "Open it!" He ordered and she did exactly as she was told. Her hands shook as she carefully opened and layed it on his table. She moved back as he studied the sketch. He took ten minutes to study it. " Who made this?"He asked looking up.
Mrs Serena gave Raina a look before answering "Raina made it!" She replied with eyes down. He turned his attention to her and she felt her heart stopped beating instantly or so she thought. He studied her decent outfit and innocent plain face for awhile " What makes you think this bridge would last?"He asked her. She was quiet as she tried to make up an answer. Yes, she made the sketch but she only drew it with her mind not according to the project because she was yet to adjust to the actual purpose for her sketches, now her imaginations will kill her:she thought.
" I'm waiting for your answer what ever your name is !"He was clearly losing his patience and Raina wasn't coming up with anything.
"Who hired her?"He asked
"I did!" Lucas quickly replied and he gave him an ' Are you kidding me' look. Lucas rolled his eyes "Come on Quincy, they needed an assistant and she was the good one available so I had to hire her!" He explained with a grin. Did he just call the President by his name? Then they must be close. Quincy: Someone she mustn't mess with, she concluded. " What's good about her if she can't explain the sketch she made, do I look like I need a careless employee right now?" He charged at him but Lucas seemed not perturbed by his actions. "Trust me she was the good one!" Lucas insisted as his gaze went to Raina who glared at him. He was obviously trying to piss her off as he devoured her body with his eyes.
"Good one indeed!" Anne muttered loudly as she also glared at her. It seemed like Natalie, Michael, Samantha and Cynthia weren't in the office as they kept quiet leaving her to her faith. Like seriously those she tried to help:She rolled her eyes which Anne noticed " Did you just roll your eyes like seriously, I hate this bitch's guts!" She snarled as she threw her hands around. "With all due respect Ma'am don't call me that again!" She retorted before realizing what she just did. There was loud gasp by her colleagues Cynthia's the loudest as they all looked at her with widened eyes. " And who are you to talk back at your superior?" The President's voice was heard loudly. Now no one can save her. Her eyes began to glisten with tears she hated it when people screamed at her. " Will you come up with an explanation for your work or should I fire you?" He demanded furiously. She quickly wiped the tear which had rolled down her cheek "Time.." she began and controlled the tears that were threatening to fall " I need time Sir!" She stated boldly. He continued to glare at her " Do you think I have time to waste?" He questioned.
"No Sir!" She managed to say. He sighed "You have till tomorrow morning if you fail to come up with an explanation, purpose and the guarantee that this bridge is the best to be built then you already know the consequences" he informed her before turning his back at them " You May all leave and take the sketch with you!" He said
"Yes Sir!" They replied before Mrs Serena folded the paper and they all left.
Once they got outside the office her colleagues gave her a serious look " Don't ever do that again!" Was all Mrs Serena said before they walked back to their office. She began working as soon as she sat on her desk paying rapt attention towards what she was writing. She didn't want to lose this job not because she needed the money but because she didn't want to let her family down by getting fired just two months after she had began working. She saw shadows on her and raised up her head to see everyone staring at her " What now?" She asked rolling her eyes. " We aren't spying your work if that's what you think!" Cynthia began forging a serious face. " I never said so!" She replied slowly. " So we thought we should apologize for not having your back then at the President's office, the truth is when you are in there you lose your voice I hope you understand what I'm trying to say"Sam tried explaining but Raina already knew what she meant " It's okay!" She replied truthfully as she smiled sincerely at them. Michael gave her a coy look "You know it's hard to stop staring at the President once you look at him!" He squeaked and Raina quickly agreed with him; she had gotten lost in his gaze once she looked at him earlier but after what had happened she knows not to give him a second look the next time they meet. " Please do ask me if you need any help because I would feel more guilty if you lost your job!" Mrs Serena informed her.
" Thanks I will let you guys know when I need a hand now all of you get back to work while I concentrate on mine:shoo shoo!" She pushed them away playfully and they burst out as they occupied their various desks. She sighed and continued working "This is gonna be a long day!" She whispered to herself.
