Leonard knew he needed to hide, he wouldn't let Eva catch him like that? Once she catches him, all his plans would spoil, from jumping into her compound, entering her car boot, and so on...everything, spoilt. He quickly entered the blank room, closed the door, and hid at the back of the cupboard...who knows, she could enter here and catch him.
He heard the door to her office open, and he started hearing footsteps, she had entered already. Then he heard sound that indicates that she had sat down already. He wanted to see what she was doing, he wanted to take a peek of her, so he opened the door slightly and carefully to not make any sound. According to what he was seeing, she was sitting on a chair and operating the computer in her office.
She was so focused on what she was doing, she was working and looking so beautiful. Done operating the computer, she started using the sewing machine and other fashion designing equipment to sew and style a clothe. And she worked on that clothing for minutes, even Leonard was tired of watching her, he was bored, the only thing he wasn't tired of was her beauty.
But the main reason why he was in her office wasn't happening, he needed her to start a conversation related to the type of men she likes...maybe with someone on the phone. That was the main reason why he was here, that was the main reason why he was stalking her. But it doesn't seem like she was gonna do that soon 'cause she was so focused on what she was doing...she was so focused on work.
Leonard was already getting tired of standing and staring at her, so he strolled over to the side of the cupboard and sat on the ground. Before he did that, he put two of his fingers on that spot to see if it was dusty, and it wasn't. He was feeling hungry, he needed to eat something, somehow, he was regretting that he didn't eat breakfast before he started embarking on this dangerous mission.
But he'll have to stay hungry for as long as possible 'cause he was trapped in this blank room, he couldn't come outside and let Eva see his face. Sitting on the ground, he thought about how many days were remaining before his quest expires. It was remaining 16 days in total, that's two weeks and two days. The days were counting slowly, and two weeks and two days that seemed a bit long would soon pass by.
Leonard sat on the ground for minutes hearing clicking sounds of the computer's keyboard and sound of the sewing machine, Eva was still working. He could even hear his stomach growling, he was getting hungrier, he needed to eat something. After sitting on the ground for some minutes more, something made him stand up, he was hearing Eva's voice, seems like she was speaking with someone.
He sauntered to the door and placed his right ear on it, definitely, she was talking to someone. Who knows, she could start talking about relationships which would lead her into talking about the type of men she likes...that's what he wanted to hear. He opened the door slightly and very carefully, he couldn't get caught now? This confirmed what he was already sure of, she was speaking with someone on the phone.
He listened to her conversation carefully, he could only hear what she was saying, he couldn't hear the voice of the person she was speaking with on the phone. This was what he was hearing,
"Oh! She was really drunk last night", Then laughter, hesitation, then she continued speaking, "You know, I heard that beer has a lot of alcohol in it, I should have told her before she started gulping the content down her throat".
This wasn't the type of conversation Leonard wanted to hear, this wasn't gonna help in what he was searching for, but he continued listening anyway,
"I'm at work currently, I'm sure you are working too", "Hmm, OK, let's meet at our favorite restaurant, all four of us. I'm hanging up, bye".
And that's how the phone conversation ended, Leonard gained nothing. He had already discerned that the person she was speaking with on the phone was one of her friends, it was evident from the way she was talking. And it seems like they planned on meeting in a restaurant this evening, he was gonna go there too if he doesn't accomplish the main reason why he was here.
"What the heck! so it's ended?". Leonard uttered to himself as he strolled back to the spot he stood up from and sat back on it.
The sound of sewing machine and keyboard's sound was what kept on resounding in Leonard's ears as he sat on the ground for minutes. He was hungry, like, really hungry, but there was nothing he could do about it. Time kept on passing, and before Leonard knew it, it was afternoon already.
He didn't comprehend that easily 'cause there was no clock in the room or a watch on his wrist, he just had that feeling that it was noon already, and he was right. Eva had been in her office working all this while, it was noon and she was feeling hungry, so she stood up from her chair and walked out of her office. Leonard knew that she had sauntered out, he heard the sound of the door and her walking steps.
So he got up from the ground, sauntered to the door, opened it, and came out of the blank room...he was in Eva's office now. He strolled over to her android phone on the table to see if he was gonna find valuable information in it. Maybe stuff related to her past relationships which could give him hints on the type of men she likes, or maybe he could even find what he was looking for directly.
He took the phone from the table and put it on, but oops, it's secured, you need to press her password and get it right before you can gain access into her phone...which person doesn't secure his or her phone now?
"F**k, what the heck!". Leonard uttered running his hands through his hair.
He dropped her phone back on the table, it's of no use to him, it's passworded. And he can't start trying out different passwords to gain access into her phone, there's no time for that. He started hearing footsteps, Eva was coming, it's time to go back into hiding. He ran straight to the door, opened it, and entered the blank room.
He waited to confirm that she had balanced on her chair before he decided to open the door a little to see what she was up to. He opened the door slightly and glanced at her, and there she was eating. There was white transparent nylon in front of her, and 'cause the nylon was transparent, he could see what was inside. He saw a doughnut, two egg rolls, two sausages, and one chip, all snacks. And there was also a plastic bottle of soft drink in front of her.
Leonard's stomach grumbled the moment he set eyes on the snacks, he was really hungry, he wished he could take one of the snacks and eat. His stomach growled the more watching her eat, the way she chewed the snack in her mouth. After finishing the two egg rolls in the white nylon and drinking her soft drink to a quarter, she stood up from the chair and sauntered out of her office.
At this point, Leonard knew he would have to steal from what she was eating, he was fucking hungry. So he came out of the blank room, strolled over to the white nylon, and took one of the sausages, then strolled back into the blank room once again and began eating immediately. He knew that Eva wasn't stupid? She'll definitely notice that something seems to be missing in the white nylon, one of her snacks was missing...but he doesn't give a fuck.
She doesn't have a single idea that someone else was in her office, so she'll just take it like maybe she was overreacting, maybe she bought only one sausage thinking that it was two sausages. Before Eva came back into her office, Leonard had finished eating the sausage...that's how hungry he was. And just as he speculated, Eva noticed that something was missing from the white nylon, there was a type of confused expression on her face.
She glanced around her office then glanced back at the white nylon, then she shrugged it off and sat down on the chair. Just as speculated, she took it like maybe nothing was missing, she was just imagining things, and a smile appeared on Leonard's face 'cause of that.
