"Zain hey Zain Mr Jonas is here" Sylvia whispered across her desk towards Zain, he has asked her earlier to let him know if Mr Jonas arrives, he just arrived now, she had seen his car move in when she went to get some documents she would be working downstairs, and she feels the need to tell him because he hadn't noticed just like he had said, he was such a hard and dilligent worker, one thing she admired about him, and she was telling him not just because he had asked her but because she wants every opportunity to talk and get close to him as much as possible, he didn't hear her and now she doesn't have a choice but to leave her seat and go talk to him, she stood up and walked over to Zain's desk it was directly opposite to hers, "hey Zain" she called again and tapped him, Zain who had a ear piece in his ears and was so engrossed with his laptop looked up and smiled at her.
Sylvia suddenly felt hot all over, she was not sure Zain had ever smiled at her, even if he did, definitely not this much, ' what was going on today? ' she asked herself, the universe was finally aligning in her favour
"Sylvia back to earth, hey Sylvia, are you okay?" , Sylvia jolted back to reality "uhmm sorry you were saying something?" Sylvia stammered "are you sure you are fine,this is the second that you are spacing out today, do you need to go home?" Zain asked looking concerned "of course not am perfectly fine, it's just family trouble, nothing serious" Sylvia replied, she really wished the ground could open and swallow her at the moment, she was not really good at lying she just hope Zain had believed her and he wouldn't ask again because she doesn't know how much longer she can keep pretending in his presence not when he's this caring and inquisitive, she thought to herself
"oh if that's the case, but if you need anyone to talk to you can let me know yeah?" Zain said, "of course thanks" Sylvia replied obviously blushing "so you were going to tell me something?" Zain asked "what! no I wasn't, was I?" Sylvia asked looking confused "no why then did you leave your seat to come here?" Zain interjected. Sylvia bit her lips and stood still for like a minute without saying a word, she can't seem to remember what it is wanted to say to him, she suddenly felt embarrassed, she had left her seat to say something to him only for her to get here and forget, not like it was her fault after all, he was the one that smiled at her and made her lose her senses she thought to herself, ' what could it be ' she asked her self, she closed her eyes trying to remember, then she suddenly remembered "oh now I remember, I was going to tell you Mr Jonas came in already, that's it" she said "oh he did? thank you very much, i will go check him up" Zain quickly got up and dashed out the office. "you are welcome" Sylvia muttered to herself, seeing him rush out like that she wondered what could be so important that made him really want to see Mr Jonas, she walked back to her desk still thinking ' oh could he be in trouble? ' she thought to herself ' no I doubt it very much ' she thought again, Zain was such a good man and she can really vouch for him, they have both been working here for 6 months now and she had never seen him cause trouble ' it must be something else ' she finally thought again and went back to her work
Zain got to Mr Jonas office area and met his secretary, "good morning cat" he greeted with a huge smile, he knew if he was going to get to talk to Mr Jonas he needs to be in his best character, and getting on the good side of cat was a good start, as far as he knows cat had been working in the Smith's corporation for almost 10 years now, she even worked as the secretary for the former HOD of the company who was Christopher Smith before he disappeared five years ago, so he heard before she was promoted to being the secretary of the general manager Mr Jonas, the former secretary had just resigned at that time, she got married and moved out of the state, so she just got lucky.
"good morning Zain, you want something?" cat said sarcastically, it's not new seeing new intakes parading the general manager office like this especially early in the morning, he must want something, she thought to herself
"well uhmm" Zain was stammering, he didn't know what to say, cat had attacked him "actually I need to something" Zain confessed "and what would that be?" cat asked him with her brows raised up "actually I need to see Mr Jonas" Zain replied "did he call for you?" cat interjected "no he didn't but I really need to see him" Zain replied "and why if I may ask" cat asked, "well it's kinda of personal" Zain said with a straight face and he also pretender to cough "you can't see him" cat replied "oh please cat you really need to let me see him, just call him and let him know" Zain pleaded and tried to persuade cat "you want to get fired?" cat asked almost mocking him "what?" Zain asked with horror written all over his face
"I am asking you if you want to get fired, do you know the implications of requesting to see the vice president of the company without him asking for it, except if it's an emergency, you won't be taken serious Zain and you might get fired just so you know, so think carefully before you act" cat warned him
