I enter Eric's office with a smile on my face only to find him looking up at me with a wild and weird eyes and a girl in his arms, am sorry to disturb you, I will come back later, I turn my back to leave his office when he stopped me.
No no Mina, please come in, it actually good that you are here, I didn't know what the problem is but your sister just keep crying. My sister, I ask, turning back to him I saw Elizabeth raising up her head from his chest with a smile on her face.
But she's not crying, I said looking at the two of them, Eric look at her surprisingly, oh sister your boyfriend must be so hilarious, I just trip on my heels and he prevents me from falling, maybe he taught am going to be a cry baby seeing am about to fall down.
Anyways I just said I should come and welcome him to our company and see if he's comfortable, you know he's more than a business partner, he will soon my brother in-law, so I taught of bonding with him.
Okay, that's good, I look to see Eric looking kind of stunned for a while before he seems to be fine again. And Elizabeth what if Eric is not here to prevent you from falling, you could have bruise your knee, while don't you try wearing something much shorter and comfortable,I said looking at her very high heels.
Thanks Eric for looking out for my sister, shall we start the meeting, I offered myself a sit and set my laptop on the desk.
I see that you are both busy, I will leave not to bother you, and Mr Erickson, thank you, I will see you later, bye, Elizabeth left the office with a smile on her face.
How can someone switch so fast from crying to smiling, and I won't be seeing you later I mutered under my breath. You say something, Mina ask me, no, not at all, walking towards my desk, shall we start the meeting then.
Have you met with the building team?, I ask settling down while opening my laptop. Yes I have and they make some changes to the functions by categorizing them into five instead of twelve that I have before, though all the twelve will be included as sub functions under the main functions, she said.
Okay, I expect that when I go through it myself and then I must say you really have a great idea, it will be a huge success if it works out. So when are the materials coming in..........
The meeting continues for a while when a knock came at the door, come in I said
Hey Evelyn hi, how are you doing, what are you doing here, Eric ask
Hello Eric am good and I work here.
Oh I don't know pardon me.
It okay, so I see that you two really enjoy eachothers company she said looking at her watch because the meeting was suppose to be an hour thirty minutes but this is past ten am.
Really, I guess we mostly have same thoughts on the robot and we just flow together not knowing the time has gone, Eric reply.
I see so you have been talking business all this while, Evelyn ask smiling mischievously, I can see you really flow together very very well, she said smiling at the both of us. I get that you both are kind of head over heels for eachother but........
Oh my God, I face palm myself, Evelyn will you keep shut, I really shouldn't discuss stuffs like this with her again, Mina said more to herself but still audible to our hears.
Mina will you let me talk, if a junior colleges comes in and see you two making out in the office what would they think? Making out Mina and I both shouted at the same time.
Evelyn what are you talking about, Mina ask looking definitely tired of her assumptions.
Okay, what's the make up on Eric's Jacket all about, wait what you bastard have you started cheating on her when you have not even officially started going out, Evelyn shouted and rush towards Eric with a fierce face clenching her fist when it dawn on her that Mina don't wear makeup.
I look at Mina then we both look down at my jacket, hissing out loud, that must be when Elizabeth flung herself into my arms.
Evelyn don't be too dramatic, Mina reply her, first of all we are not dating, at least not yet Evelyn said rolling her eyes she continued and he must have got that on her jacket when he help Elizabeth from falling when she trip on her heels.
She trip on her heels?, Yes
Okay, that's by the way, the building team are waiting for the both of you at the workshop.
Okay let's go then, we all walk out of the room, removing my jacket, I place it on the couch, I can't have everyone misunderstanding me.
After the tour around the workshop with the team to see if our set up meet their standard and if they need anything, lunch hour came sooner than I expected, and the time I dreaded is finally here.
I took a deep breath.......and why are you sighing madam, Evelyn ask me.
It the lunch date, what about it, she ask
You know have never go on a date so it kind of awkward and am so anxious about it.
Darling you don't need to be, just think of it as the usual lunch we both use to have okay, and it will be fine, beside you both enjoy eachothers company.
But that's different we have something to talk about which is the robot project, but what do we talk about now. Just go with the flow okay, don't let some bitc...y sl...t snatch him from you.
What are you talking about again, I ask
Mina you are just too naive, does it sound coincident to you, wearing that short and hot dress to the office today and at the same time, tripping on her heels and that too in front of Eric in his office.
No am not buying that if you are, she said with an angry expression, I don't know why she has so much hatred fro Elizabeth, infact I can boldly say it that as jovial and free living Evelyn is, Elizabeth is the only person that irritates her.
I can't believe that Elizabeth of all people will trip on her heels, she's too perfect a doll for that, she said again.
Are you now saying that they both have something going on between them especially in their first meeting, I ask her a little bit irritated because picturing my sister and Eric together somehow makes me angry, but why I ask myself, we are not in a relationship, I shouldn't be angry.
No Mina don't get me wrong Evelyn reply noticing the change in my mood. What am saying is that Elizabeth tripping couldn't be an accident she must done that Intentionally.
Evelyn you are having your imagination go wild again. Alright I know if it happen in your presence you still wouldn't believe me, why? she ask no one in particular, because you love your lovely and caring sister.
I just pray that very soon you open your inner eyes and see her for who she truly is, she said.
Eric must be waiting for you, go on Evelyn said pating and pushing me out of the office at the same time.
She open the door and push me out into a solid chest, apparently Eric was waiting for me at the door, sorry about that I said brushing my hair behind my ears.
I move out of his arm awkwardly, it okay, let's go, he said stretching his hands forward, ladies first, I smile walking towards the elevator with him behind me.
I see you are both into eachother, now having lunch together when you just met, and you even lie to be in a relationship, I wonder what the elders will think when they found out you lied to them about been in a relationship.
Enjoy the little time you both have together now because it won't last, Eric is mine, Elizabeth said coming out from the corridor opposite her office seeing the whole scene in front of her. She match forward with a smile on her face.
