Chapter 1 - The Report.

"Bloom?" The voice thundered across the office and the pull pen drawing everyone's attention to the owner of the voice.

"I'm not answering. I'm not answering." Bloom silently muttered to herself.

She tried to tuned out the loud voice of the team leader as much as she can.

"Bloom!" The voice came closer this time until the owner of the voice stood behind her.

"Bloom" the voice softly calls this time.

"No!" Bloom immediately let out as she twilred her chair to look at her team leader Louis.

Bloom looked at the pleading face of the middle age woman she had come to love and respect. She knew what her boss was asking of her but bloom refused to do it.

"I'm not doing it louis. Give to to someone else." Bloom insisted.

She turned her attention to her colleagues who immediately turned their faces awaygo avoid the work.

"Really guys?" Bloom scoffed in disbelief at her coworkers attitude.

Bloom wasn't a pushover, she just loved her job so much she wasn't afraid to work overtime or take her work home with her but this time it felt like they expected her to do the heavy lifting.

"I am entrusting the to you because I don't trust anyone else to do a good job. I need someone who is thorough and only you can do that." Louis tired to butter Bloom up but Bloom wasn't buying it.

The report they were pushing to her was an important New project the management entrusted to their team and everyone were working themselves to make the project a success including Bloom. She had taken some extra work to reduce the burden on her friends but she couldn't thus time.

Today was Friday and Bloom had plans that involves her, sweatpants and Netflix. She needed the rest. Bloom feels she earn it.

"This would take a lot of work Louis."

"I don't trust anyone other than you Bloom." She had a pleading look on her face and Bloom felt her reluctantly hardened heart softening and she knew then and there that she was lost in it.

Bloom let out a frustrated sigh as she decided to give in to the request. No one else would take it and she knew it.

"Fine. I'll do it." She gave in as Louis handed her the file.

"I knew it. You are a diligent and hardworking individual. I trust you to do it well. Thank you." Louis hurriedly said before heading back to her office.

"Ughhh!" Bloom let out a frustrated growl before slumming further into her chair.

"That's what happens when you are good at your job." Ariel voiced out her thought, half jocking and half serious.

Bloom threw an hard glare in her direction. Bloom loved her job but sometimes It could be very demanding. This was why she didn't have a boyfriend. She thinks.

Bloom threw open the file in her table and her said eyes widen at the size.

"I guess you are not going to be joining us at Barn's tonight." John another one of her colleagues stated the obvious.

"Yeah I guess. You guys drink for me." Bloom muttered as she decided to get started on the task at hand. The sooner she can get it over with the better it is.

Bloom worked on the files, she spent hours pulling out references, cross checking them, typing out drafts and so on. She looked at the small portable clock that sat on her desk. The time read 8:15pm.

Bloom knew immediately that it was time for her to start packing. She decided she'll complete the work at home. Her co-workers had already headed out since 5:00pm which was the normal closing hour but the company have very strict rules and the most important of them being that everyone should have cleared the office building before ten.

The company takes the rules seriously and Bloom have heard of people who hot fired for breaking that rule. Bloom hurried packed her bags and headed out. She was sure she would complete the rest at home and be able to send the report to Louis by tomorrow.

She immediately headed for the elevator and pressed the lobby. She knew she couldn't remain here for much longer and she couldn't afford to lose her job.

She got home very fast after hailing a cab. Bloom was heading over to the kitchen to prepare her dinner when her phone pinged indicating a message from Louis.

'How is the report coming up' Louis texted.

'Almost done. Just remain a few compilation and revision.' Bloom replied back.

'Can you maybe fasten it up a little. Mr offstarter wants it sent to him by tomorrow.'

Bloom groaned at the sight of Louis text. She looked at her kitchen with longing before heading to her bedroom to finish up the work. After bringing out all the files, bloom face squeezed up in confusion as she looked through her bag over and over again.

"Ughhh. No. No!" Bloom protested as she realized she forgot the flash drive containing the drafts.

"Why does the universe hate me so much." She dramatically cried.

"What I'm i going to do. Louis will kill me." She groaned again.

Her head shot up and she immediately looked at her phone screen for the time. It was just 9:00pm. Bloom knew she couldn't leave the flash drive alone. She immediately calculated with her mind.

If she takes an Uber and urges the man to hurry up she can get there in ten to twelve minutes or less, she could be in and out of the building in ten minutes. That'll leave a lot of time before ten o'clock.

Bloom changed out if her sweatpants and hoodie into a tight blue jeans and black V-neck shirt. She grabbed her phone and jacket . She let out a small thanks to the universe when she saw that her uber was there.

Bloom was determined to hurry up and get that flash drive and save her and her team from upsetting Mr Offstarter . If she could get the flash drive and complete the very important report about the new project, the. She could give it to Louis and louis could send it to Mr offstarter.
