Thalia was inspecting the company's lounge with one of her employees, she was pointing around while the slim figure behind her noted down whatever she said.
(^O^)❤THALIA'S POV❤
"The blinds over there needs to be fixed, and we should get more coffee makers. ", I blurted out trying to shift my eyes towards the door adjacent me in a distance, I have paraded just that part of the cafeteria for over an hour adding pointless things to the infinite list adora was writing behind me, I just couldn't focus... Chris took a week leave to attend to whatever personal matter he had, he is to resume back to work but it's been two hours since working hours started....
"Ma'am", 'I heard that tiny voice squeak behind me as she jerked me off my thoughts', I almost bumped into a wall just now.
I just gave up on waiting for Chris, he will come to my office when he is around but my plan will be nullified if he doesn't show up now.
I am Thalia, and no matter how down I might be, I walk with my head up, I walked towards the door and turned again believing that he will come soon.
"Waiter, get me a chill glass of fruit wine"
"Grapes, peach, apple, avocado,... ", 'he enquired'
" Peach please ", I replied cutting him off.
" Chill with or without ice",'he queried'
"Without ice"
"Any colouring???... ", 'he blurted out'
" No"
"Flavourings??? ", 'he asked and once more, my anger rose, I felt like tearing him apart'
" Oh my goodness, are you kidding me right now?, I asked for a wine not a... ", my words faded out as I spotted Chris walking up to me," Never mind "
"Are you sure ma'am? ", 'he queried'
" Will you rather get out of my sight or get fired? "
He quickly made his way, I equally excused Adora and strolled up to Chris.
"Good morn... ", 'he stated while I cut him off'
" You are late"
"Yes, I have... ", 'he began again and I cut him off'
" Whatever situation you had, shouldn't you value a work-life balance ", I was getting weird and I could sense it.
" I have always valued that ", 'he defended purely'
I took a step, another, another and I started moving in a random direction while Chris tailed me, I wanted to bring up an upsetting topic knowing that it will make everything awkward but I still wanted to do that which suits me
"You wanted to tell me something", I stopped, turned to face him.
" Me?, when?, I don't think so ", 'he defended'
"Okay I believe you.... But weren't you about to say that you love me just like I love you the other day", 'I said raising my voice knowingly as I turned and started walking again'
"Are you for real?, why would I want to say that?, even if I really do I wouldn't have said it ", 'he blurted out in an attempt to cut me off'
" Don't you? ", I turned to face him, almost closing the gap between us making him more difficult for him.
" Must we stay like this? ", 'he said out of frustration'.
" Are you in convinced?, am I making it hard for you to control how you feel?... "
"Ohh! People are watching", 'he defended'
" You are not even denying any of my accusations, which make them true"
"On what grounds? ", 'he defended again,trying to be bold', he is so impossible, he wants to win against Thalia Hart.
I raised his jaw and he shivered, which gave me the upper hand on him, tell me the truth now or I kiss you, right here.
He jerked back and adjusted his suit, " Ma'am, everyone is watching, your acting is being recorded"
"Am not acting, am spewing the reality", I can't believe am being this awkward, what has gone over me, I can't even stop my actions now.
" Let's go to the office ", 'he tried to change the topic'
" No", I tried to move closer once again but he scooped me off my feet into his hands and carried me out of the cafeteria.
I lost my tongue and kept staring blankly while the onlookers cheered and clapped at my stupidity.

(^O^)❤NARRATOR'S POV❤
Diego was standing, hands akimbo in his office, behind him was a cool looking employee of his... Diego Hart is the only heir of the Hart's family but he is not given the full right to the properties...
"What on earth did you do?, look how incapable you have become, what if Thalia had died or gotten a serious injury in the process, do you think I ll spare you? ", 'Diego thundered furiously'.
" Sir... ", 'Sebastian, who was holding his cheek from the several slaps he had received stuttered'
" What is it you want to say? Uhn,go ahead and give the excuse... It won't be a bad thing if I have you relocate to North uruk ", 'Diego spat still fuming in anger'.

Annabel and Ophelia were having a serious conversation with a very tense atmosphere...
Annabel angrily removed her phone from her bag and threw it at her mother.
" Do whatever you like with the phone cos am never gonna contact you from now on, you disgust me.. Can't I make my own decisions? ", 'she thundered'.
" Of course, you can, but the consequences... ", 'Ophelia said pathetically trying defend her point'
" Then, let me take responsibility for that too, I will be responsible for whatever consequences my actions amount to, so just let me be... Am pregnant, and this child will be the heir of ambassador kress and probably his only child so am pretty sure he will take absolute care of me , then I guess you won't have to worry about me", 'Annabel dropped the speech finale and before Ophelia could say jack Robinson, Annabel was out of sight'...
Ophelia was left totally devastated by what just transpired between the duo...
