She picked her phone up, staring at her phone's screen with a confused look.
"Who's that?" Felicia asked.
"I don't know." Alicia answered, still staring at her phone. "It's a strange number.
" Pick it up, please, "
"Okay," Alicia picked her call.
"Hello, who's this, please?" Alicia asked coldly.
"Miss Swiz?" The person asked to confirm if it was Miss Swiz.
"Wait is that not Mr Ape?" Alicia thought.
"Mr Michael?" Alicia asked and frowned.
"Come to work tomorrow by 6 am." He said and hung up without waiting for her response.
"Phews! Annoying ape!" Alicia said angrily, ruffling her hairs.
"Who's that?"Felicia asked.
"My boss."Alicia replied and rolled her eyes.
"Your boss?" Felicia said in admiration. "Wow, he's voice is so cute!!"
"Cute, my foot!!" Alicia said in annoyance which made Felicia to laugh.
"Why are you laughing? Anyways, he said I should come to work tomorrow by 6am."Alicia said and tapped Felicia's hands. "Can you believe that?"
"I'm happy for you, honey!" Felicia screamed and jumped on Alicia.
"Jeez! Don't be ridiculous." Alicia laughed at Felicia's behavior. "I need to rest." Alicia stood up, heading to her room.
"Lazybone!" Felicia shouted.
NEXT DAY
"Hey, wake up!" Felicia said, hitting the pillows on Alicia's head who was sleeping heavily on the bed, snoring as if her life depends on it.
"Wakie, wakie!" Felicia said and hit her again.
"Mmm, Felicia, leave me the hell alone!!" Alicia said and snatched the pillows from Felicia's hand to cover her ears. "Stop disturbing my sleep."
Felicia stood up, she went to the kitchen and came back with bowl of water.
"This is 8am already and your boss said you should come to work by 6am." Felicia said and emptied the bowl of water on Alicia's head.
"Shit! What's all this? Alicia sprang up immediately, yawning loudly.
"The time is 8am." Felicia ignored her questions instead and left
"OMG! I'm in a deep shit already." Alicia quickly went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and washed her face with water only and ran into the room back, searching for clothes to wear.
She picked a red gown and put it on. She used her hands to brushed her hair and wore a white shoe.
She rushes downstairs to see Felicia setting the dining table. She took two slices of bread and gulped down the tea.While Felicia was busy staring at her.
"Thanks, bye." She bid Felicia goodbye and left.
She took a cab to the company and when she got there everywhere was silent.
"God, please, help me." She prayed silently, tiptoeing to the CEO's office.
"Stop right there!!"A voice echoed.
"Shit! I'm caught" She said, gritting her teeth, turning back.
"Ms Swiz, why are you coming by this time?" Michael asked, glaring hard at her.
"Erm...hmm.." She scratched her head, trying to make up lies, praying that the ground should open and swallow her up.
"To my office now!!" He fired and left.
"Thank you God." She breathe out.
"Oops, you are late."/Sarah said, walking towards her with files in her hands.
"I woke up late." Alicia shrugged.
"Why won't you wake up late? You ended up pissing the CEO." The lady that Alicia twisted her hands cut in rudely.
"How?"Alicia asked with a confused look.
"Ask my ass,fool!" The lady snorted and left.
"Don't mind Rose, she's very rude and proud, because she once dated the CEO but it didn't turn out well." Sarah whispered into her ears and left
"Wow! I'm here to teach her a lesson." Alicia said to herself and walked into the CEO's office without knocking.
"Have you lost your manners?" He asked rudely, gazing at her eyes which made Alicia to be uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, sir." She apologized.
She looked up to see the CEO in front of her and she shifted back.
Michael moved closer to her while Alicia continued shifting back in fright till her back hit the wall.
"You can't run away forever." Michael said, pinning Alicia to the wall.
"What the hell are you doing?"Alicia asked, afraid to look at his face.
"Gosh! Why is he so cute? I feel like tasting his lips" Alicia thought within herself, licking her lower lips which turned Michael on
Michael placed his hands on her lips, dropping his head low to kiss her while Alicia shut her eyes waiting for a kiss from Michael.
