"I just saw the news. Why didn't you tell me that you'll be working in L-Group ?" Brena asked right after Angela relaxed in her car.
"Actually, I also didn't know.dad told me last night,"
"And it's fucking driving you crazy"Brena said more like statement than question.her eyes focused on the road.
"Not being able to hangout with you guys isn't the worst part. What's awful in all this is that prince Okefe" she responded ignoring the smirk which was forming on Brena face.
"Oh you mean Quen "
"Yes babe, gosh he so arrogant " she said sarcastically rolling her eyes before realizing what her friend just said.
"Wait. The way you said his name, why does it sound like you already knew him"
Brena let out a small laughter and tried to defend herself in vain ." who doesn't know L group in this area".
"Not like that. I mean like personally". Brena bit her lip and slapped herself in mind. How can her tongue slip like this.
Angela gave her an accusing gaze and shifted to face her.
"You are my friend right?"she asked which Brena nodded at.
"And you don't want me as your enemy?" Again Brena nodded.
"Then spill it "she half yelled.
"Okay fine" defeated Brena said knowing that getting on Angela's bad side when already in bad mood is actually not a good idea.
"I know him thanks to that jerk " by only saying that Angela already knew who she was talking about.her ex boyfriend Danny.
"So they are friends"
"We met two or three times maybe when we were still together"
"Good ,that you know him too. I won't have to narrate too much. Can you believe that he said that I have crush on him and now we're gonna share the same office" she covered her face with her hand in tiredness.
" How am I going to bear him. Dammit! Even talking about him is driving me nuts"
Brena couldn't help laughing at her. Though Angela was known to have misfits with a lot of peopl she didn't have a strong dislike like this on someone .
"My gosh Angela, he is not that bad" she said between laughter. "He seem arrogant at first but he is friendly when you get along .I can assure you"
"Whatever" she rolled eyes at the thought of him being friendly.
"This is your desk. I think it's convenient enough" Quen told the next morning when she came to work.
"As if my opinion would change anything" she thought recalling his unexpression face when he showed her the desk. She frowned at the fact that he didn't bother saying good morning.
"One one I guess" she thought recalling that she didn't too.
She busied herself on phone but truly she had nothing to do except sitting and enjoying the silence in the office.
Just then she received an email followed by an SMS on phone.
"That's the project. read it, we will discuss it later"she read and frustration formed on her face.
"Huh! Unbelievable"she exclaimed.and glanced at Quen who seem to be busy with his work."will it cost him a life to talk to me?, We're in the same room for goodness sake".annoyance formed onher face.
She reviewed the project. It was understandable since her dad had briefed her about it.
After finishing she glared at Quen to find him in the same position like before.
"Huh! How can someone stay in the same position for hours "she wondered her chin in her hand.
"Zombie !!" She exclaimed in her thoughts and started imagining him with untidy hair and clothes, blood gushing out of his mouth and black tears flowing on his cheeks.
She couldn't help smiling at the picture.
"Why are you smiling?". She was snapped from her beautiful imagination by Quen's voice.
"Huhh?" She raised her head to face him hiding how startled she was. "What were you saying?"
He sighed."never mind,finished?"
"Oh yeah "she said rubbing her neck.
"Okay then" he answered standing straight on his 6 feet 5inch tall , his hand in his pocket.
She couldn't help fascinating at his elegance.
"I looked at your CV and saw that you finished in marketing and research so we decided that you will lead the marketing team"
"That's great.does it mean that I will change office to marketing department?" She stood with a radiant smile.
Quen smirked."I'm sorry miss Collin but I told this very morning that this is your office. You know..." He shrugged. "You are not an ordinary employee"
"Seems like I'm trapped in devil's den.no escape" she mumbled and sat back in defeat.
"What did u say?" Quen asked .
"Hmm, nothing" she answered in an innocent tone and faked a smile.
"Okay ,we got a meeting in 15minutes. make sure to be ready" he said and walked toward the door.
"Is she crazy? " He said to himself as he closed the door behind him.
The meeting went well. The next day they had to meet an investor.normally only the president was needed but Quen insisted that Angela go with him.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow so that you won't be late"
"Hey ,I'm not that unpunctual" she protested.
"That's good but I don't trust you" he said knowing it will arose her temper. But he didn't care, she looked hot when angry .
"You... "She wanted to yell at him but stopped herself. She sighed.
"Trust my foot !" She mumbled.
"Huh..?"
"Nothing" she defended herself.
"Do you have difficult in speaking?" He asked his blue eyes focused on her.
"Why do you think so?" She asked back crossing her arms over her chest.
"I just realized that you keep spilling out unaudible words" he studied her face to find annoyance forming on her face and a grin of satsification lightened his face.
"Whatever"she said and headed to her desk to get her side bag.
"I'm heading home" she said and went out in fury.l
