As Nancy picked the call she tried to calm down, who in their right mind would let senior-most HR know that they were freaking out on the first day. She could do this,
"Good morning, Miss Drew"
" Good morning, Mr Moss" Drew cheerily replied
" Will you be coming in today or are you planning on taking leave on your first day?"
" Mh?, uh, I'll be there as soon as I find a taxi?"she wasn't so sure now, her face was weirdly contorting as she tried to grasp her situation and manage her emotions.
" No problem, hurry please, we want you in the system as soon as possible so you can access to the company's transport"
Hearing this Drew was relieved she wouldn't go through this everyday but she didn't know what to do
"Ok, I'll be there as soon as I can"
Just then a man walked up to her , he was strikingly handsome the kind of beauty you'd notice at first glance, his hair was a dull brown and was stylishly gelled backwards, his eyes though, they were what attracted Nancy the most , they were a piercing shade of jade that seemed unpolished they didn't shine but were still beautiful, his high cheekbones didn't make him seem impoverished but showed off his noble aura he was undoubtedly handsome.
Nancy suddenly became self conscious as he stood in front of her,I mean who wouldn't, his dull eyes held a sharp gaze that seemed to see through you dis-trustingly.
"Are you alright?" He asked in a heavy British accent.
Nancy: 'Am I alright? obviously I'm not.'
"Could you help me find a taxi , please? I'm running late"
Daniel: 'Jackpot'
"Sure ,It was very nice of you to wave at those taxi guys , they're usually grumpy half the time"
"I was trying to get a taxi!"
"Where are you from?, the Americas, you don't look it"
" I've been there for quite a while"
" Figures, you'll get buses and taxis around the bus stop near the train station, shall we?"
"Sure"...the two chatted about everything and nothing on the way to the station.
As Nancy boarded the taxi she was sad to thinking about separating with Daniel but nothing could be done about it, as the cab drove off to her destination she reminisced about her short meeting with Daniel and how he was her ideal type and more...
'if only we had exchanged our contacts'
Nancy arrived at the building where the offices were, she hurriedly made to pay the cab driver but she soon realized that in her haste she had forgotten her purse, she had cash on her but it was in dollars and the cab driver wasn't having it, frustrated Nancy gripped her hair with her left hand while her right hand was tightly fisted around the few dollars she had ,'It's alright,breathe in , breathe out' as she slowly released the pent up tension inside her she couldn't help but grow worried again...her bank hadn't shared her account with her new bank yet it was still processing the data ...it could take a week and she had only filed the forms necessary the previous day, she contemplated lots of things but sighed in frustration as the driver started getting frustrated
'oh to be a stranger in your own country'
she thought...
" Ma'am can I have my pay , I have other places to be!!" Cain, the cab driver was getting restless.
As she thought of calling in a favor, a black rolls Royce came to a stop just behind the taxi, and an Adonis got off
'he is hot'
Hot was an understatement, the man was tall, had a lanky figure , you could make out built muscle underneath all the layers of cloth but his face was on a whole other level, his skin was pale ,his jet-black hair sat beautifully on his head and he had piercing green eyes, to top it all off he had a dazzling smile and perfectly arranged pearly teeth ,Nancy could feel her breath leaving her body he was simply too ideal to be real.
As if on cue, the man she had met earlier Daniel stepped off the car and though he was just as handsome his charisma just didn't cut it, he paled in comparison to his counterpart , now that she saw both of them in the same frame she couldn't help but wonder
'Are they related ?'
"Miss? are you paying your taxi fare, you're holding me up I have other things to do"
"Oh , yeah sorry,"
as she resumed rummaging through her phone, she could feel Daniel's and mystery man's gaze on her , she could feel her anxiety spiking and her only goal now that she remembered it was to make it to the office.
"Drew , are you alright?"
A deep voice that sent chills through her spine asked her in a British accent, she couldn't help but look up and holy lord the view shushed her mind for a while before her insides were screaming in utter surprise, every nerve in her body was suddenly sensitive and butterflies couldn't stop brushing her stomach walls, this was new she had never felt like this before but she was loving every bit of it ,if only she could feel like this everyday, wait how did he know her name?
There was cackle somewhere in the distance, coming out of her stupor she turned only to see Daniel in place of the cab driver , heaving in between fits of laughter.
"Glad to know you still got it bro" Daniel said in a tentative tone as he walked past them and into the building.
"he's your brother?, Do his moods always change that fast?, how do you know my name?, who are you?..."
"Am I supposed to answer all that, Get to work you're late"
"Wait, who are you ?"
" kairetu, I'll have you fired if you don't uphold your oath to the company"
And just like that her flight or fight response kicked in and Nancy disappeared into the building so fast you couldn't tell she had been there seconds ago.
'What a wheelbarrow'
