Now as we were now a team of five colleagues I we got comfortable with each other and we were basically like family.
Everything was going great until the day I decided to put on a red high-low dress at work and given my character that was quite off but I couldn't help but notice how John and Andrew would steal a few glances from me every now and then.Andrew started buying me cookies that he noticed I loved but I would share all of them equally amongst my colleagues. Though it was quite obvious that he had developed a crashing me I ignored him at all his advances . In as much as at times his actions would melt my heart away I couldn't take my attention from Mr Rimu.
On a Wednesday morning I was forcfully placed to work online and on that particular day as I went on attending to online clients one of Mr Rimu's " friends" come and noticed a mistake that I had made and she just went all out on me in front of my boss and he didn't even stood up for me even once and what actually hurts the most was that he defended every other of my colleagues from this particular lady but not me. Regardless I rectified my mistake and went on with my day as usual though was still hurting. I quickly healed from that and moved on with my days ahead.Andrew was still affectionate towards me and my colleagues wouldn't stop talking about it.
Then one day as Emily and I were working on the display we got into a confrontation and we ended up exchanging harsh words with each other and then one thing led to the other and before we knew it Andrew had already made a call to Mr Rimu and by the time he come i was at the store so he called me. I beconned to his call thinking he was gonna take my side as everyone else only for him to go all out on me again and this time the hurt that I felt was too much for me and he was so harsh that literally everyone in the room felt it." Lina you better make sure that I don't repeat myself again if you don't want to work then fuck off I can literally replace you in a second so never take any moment of this work for granted coz you can loose it all in a mere second. It's just so sad to think that just a few weeks ago my wife corrected you and now here we are again. Listen miss Lina if you don't get a grip of your work I'll end up dropping you like a hoot potate so do what you came here to do and know your place you aren't special unless you want to quite". Wait what was all of this for was it for the argument that me and Emily had or there was something more to it.
All along I knew there was a special bond between us and I just couldn't be way wrong .
And did he just say wife I thought Kira was his friend how wrong was I.
Later on the day I finished my work and as I was about to take my leave Emily apologized to me and so did the rest of my colleagues. I told them that I have no grudge with them and that I had a clean conscious but I need to detox so that I can think and digestion the events of today.
Just as I opened the door Mr Rimu was standing outside and with one swift move I dodged him and made my way to lift and i could feel his eyes on me all through the hallway. The moment I turned to look at him he was heading to me so I quickly made a turn and enterned the lady's washroom to a avoid him.
When I looked at myself in the mirror I couldn't help but not the wetness of my eyes and the pains and disappointed I felt at that time. How I wish I could turn back time, how I wish I could've seen this coming but it's ok there's nothing I can do it's all done I'll just have to try and move on from this.
