I don't know how to complete this. Why am I even here in the first place? It's not even my job to do. Alex why....why do you always pick me to do your job? Aarrggghhh...This is frustrating. I'm having a headache. Maybe I should rest a bit.
Aiyana brushed her fingers through her hair as she talked to herself. She was a rising author. She was the kind of girl who mind her own business. And about doing Alex's work, Alex was the president of the company so she has to do whatever he says though she barely agrees to do it.
She was in her mid 20's with big lilac-colored eyes and light purple hair with a mild curl. Though she was a newbie in the industry she gained quite good popularity as soon as she started publishing her works. But her fame didn't make her a priority among her colleagues.
She was often bullied and taunted by her colleagues behind her back out of jealousy. But she never mind such things as she used to work from home more than from her office. The jealousy was also kinda understandable as she was the best friend of the president and work from wherever she wanted and whenever she wants except for exceptional cases such as today. She came to the office at Alex's demand.
After complaining about the trouble she was stuck in due to Alex she had just slightly put her head down when one of her colleagues tap on her shoulder.
Hey Aiyana! Would you mind making us a coffee?
"Can't you see I'm trying to rest a bit here"?
She wanted to shout those words but she didn't.
Instead, she raised her head looking up with tired eyes."Izel, umm I'm sorry. I'm yet to finish. Mind getting it yourself," she softly spoke.
"Are you denying me just cause you're favored by our president?" She said annoyingly and aggressively. She was just trying to mess with Aiyana. She continued saying," I was doing my work continuously that it tired me completely. After a slight pause she added, unlike you".
Most of the time you work from home and today god knows how you decided to show up in the office yet you dare to slack off in the middle of work.
Aiyana was on the verge of shouting, You long-tongued bitch. You better stop there, my ears gonna bleed soon if you continue. And I'm a bloody writer. I write my book unlike you. And you expect me to work from the office are you for real? What am I supposed to write here, the lines we throw on each other while fighting? But outside she stayed composed.
"Everyone looks Aiyana said she'll bring all of us coffee. How sweet of her." She said loudly enough to get heard by not only the whole room but the whole floor.
Aiyana was already having a headache and with Izel being such a childish bully she lost her temper completely yet she decided to leave the room rather than fight with her. She went straight to the coffee machine, filled all the cups, and distributed them to her colleagues. And lastly, she went to Izel.
"Jinx of my life, drink this instead of my blood", she thought as she offered her a drink.
Izel, here's your coffee. She pulled out a cup and slightly tilted it purposefully.
Ahhh... shhh you...it's hot!!!
Izel stood up from her chair, wiping out her skirt with a tissue. It was my new skirt. What did you do... you...How dare you stain it with coffee? She shouted with rage. Every employee was alert. They were enjoying the free drama and decided not to interfere with them. This was expected from the employees.
Aiyana as usual didn't care. She knew everyone hates her so not to expect any help from them was coherent.
She covered her mouth with both hands gasping, "Oh no I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to give you coffee but it slipped off my hands."Being more dramatic than it already was she continued, "It seems like fate wants you to get things you need for yourself by yourself. Please do help yourself."
Izel seeing Aiyana mocking her said furiously, Huh! your hand slipped really? You think I'll buy your excuse. I know you did this purposefully. Do you think I'm a fool, an idiot...
INDEED!!!
Aiyana cut her off in the middle rolling her eyes. The whole office burst into laughter. It's not like they aren't jealous of Aiyana. It's more like they don't wanna come to her bad side as she was close with the president. So whenever Izel and Aiyana fight they just watch it.
Izel out of rage raised her hand and move forward to hit Aiyana. The sudden violent act of Izel made her back off a little closing her eyes.
Suddenly she heard a familiar voice. Stop it Izel. Aren't you ashamed of having so many eyes on you witnessing your foolishness? You shouldn't be losing your calm on such small matters.
Hearing all these things it seemed like someone was backing up Izel.But the moment the next line drop out everyone burst out laughing again.
It'll harm your health as well as your already ruined reputation. Don't go to such an extent to show that you're such a...
Before that voice could complete the sentence Izel ran out furiously making sure her heels make the room echo.
It was a voice of a girl. Aiyana opened her eyes slowly. She saw a young girl looking at Izel with disappointment as she ran out of room with rage and humiliation.
Bowing her head down Aiyana thanked the girl and was heading towards her desk when a sudden call stop her.
