Elizabeth swallowed bitterly. She is spinning the swivel chair but she noticed that it's awfully quiet so she looks at the people around her. They are all intently looking at her.
"What?" she asked them.
One of her colleagues and teammate Clare rolled her eyes. "You know what; all of these are your fault people. If only we submitted a story that was unique and catchy, none of this has happened but because you are all egotistical individuals, you insisted that your ideas are great so now what, we are all fucked up!"
Clare is a bratinella and she has a bad personality. She's obsessed with the words, "perfect and success". She grew up in a well-off family and of course she has an amazing career not to mention she's a beauty. But listen up people, remember that a beautiful appearance will only last a few decades but a beautiful personality will last a lifetime. In short, her personality sucks!
"Thank you so much for stating something so obvious, Clare." I said in such a sarcastic tone.
"Instead of pointing your fingers elsewhere, don't you think you're also at fault here since you're part of the team," says Rosa. The woman I was speaking with earlier.
Yes, here we go again with their banters. Great! Just great!
Rosa is their writer while Clare is their field announcer. Yes, the one you saw on live tv.
Ben, our maintenance guy laughed so hard. He is assigned with our devices, our go-to-guy. Although Ben is not directly involved with the researches that we are creating, he is well-versed with history and archaeology.
"Bullseye. That hits differently right Clare?" Then he laughed so hard.
Clare stood up harshly. She seems agitated. "Yada! Yada! Yada! Would you mind shutting your mouth since you are of no help. And not to mention, someone here even submitted a story about worms." She chuckled. "Can you believe that? It's the most ridiculous idea I ever heard my entire life."
I knew she was talking about Rosa. The person in question stood up and is about to charge directly at Clare.
"Hold up." I interrupted. "I think that was a good idea Clare. They said that somewhere in Negros, there is this one species of worm that can be found inside old woods. What's more it is edible. Locals are calling it 'Tamilok'."
Everybody inside the room is trying to control their laugh. Ben and Rosa gave me a thumbs up.
Shaun on the other hand, our producer and is also working as our leader tried to calm everyone down inside the room
"Everybody let's stop all this, enough with the arguments. What's done is done. So what we should be doing right now is to find a story that we can present and cover. I need all of your brains to contribute to our cause. Give the team something that we can present to the board." Shaun said in such an authoritative tone.
All of us left the room. At that moment we challenge ourselves to provide a story that we can submit to our boss or else it will be the end of our team.
