"Susan!" He calls her name while walking towards her. His face displayed anger.
Susan was surprised, she wasn't expecting to see her ex in her work place.
Ray moves close to her and brings out his phone with a picture displayed on it.
"Can you explain this?" He said while swiping the various pictures of his messed up car and the painting on the walls of the cafe he works at on his phone. Staffs started gathering around while some just stood watching the drama about to be unfold. Susan looks away like she was less concerned. She felt embarrassed and wanted to ignore him.
"You psychopath, I'm talking to you" Ray shouts, pissed off with her attitude.
Susan smirks, she knew he wanted to create a scene, which she can't avoid.
"Can you lower your voice, we are in a workplace, stop disgracing yourself and if you're less busy I have a lot on my table to attend to"
Ray moves to her and grabs her hand forcefully. He was about to pull her out, when another hand from behind pulled her back.
Susan and Ray turned back, Susan looks up and then her hand to see Kelvin holding her tight. She wasn't expecting him to pull her back like that, while Ray pissed off with this, confronts him.
"Hey dude, stay out of it, she's my girlfriend"
Susan snatches her hand away from his grip and sneers
" Was your girlfriend. it's over between us already, you asshole."
Ray moves closer to her, while kelvin pulls Susan behind him and confronts him.
"Don't you dare move any step forward or I'm going to call the police on you."
Ray smirks.
"The police? I told you to stay out of it, I want to have a conversation with her or I'm going to cause a scene here."
Kelvin said sternly
"I'm going to call the security to kick you out"
The security personnels came in to take him out, they grabbed him in the hand, while he tries to free himself. The security personnels had to drag him out, since he refused to leave.
While dragging him out, he laughs maniacally
"It is not over, I'm not done with you, I'm going to make sure you pay for this".
Kelvin leaves Susan hand, he had been holding on to it. He turns around, he was about to say something when Susan cuts him in.
"I'm so sorry sir, for the inconveniences sir"
She said while bowing her head, she felt more embarrassed in front of him.
"You should be careful of him or just report him to the police. He looks dangerous "
Susan looks at him
"No sir, he is just bluffing, but I'll be careful and" she paused for a second
"Thank you for defending me again"
Kelvin smiles and leaves.
While everybody went back to their various works.
Susan walks back to her office feeling awkward, she felt like all eyes were on her. She enters into her office and closes the door.
She sits on her chair, resting her back fully on it. She covers her face with her hand and lets out a silent scream. She was embarrassed in front of everyone including kelvin. After a while she sits up and laughs, the image of her ex angrily approaching her appeared in her mind.
"He must have been fired" she laughs again
"He deserves it", she laughs and continues to work.
Few hours later, Susan was still in the office working, she had a lot to do, she had been delayed by the incident that occurred earlier.
It was past working hours and she was still working. Susan was struggling with sleep as it was already late in the night. She tries her best to open her eyes and get the work done. She dozes off.
The company's watchman had turned off the lights and locked the company door leaving Susan locked up in the office unknowingly.
Susan wakes up seeing everywhere dark, she was scared at first. She thought it was a dream and closes her eyes, she opens it again and still the same result, she wasn't dreaming.
She uses her hand to search for her phone on her table and finds it. She turns on the led and uses it to see. She thinks maybe it's a power outage. She takes her bag and wanted to get out of the dark, quiet building.
She had to take the stairs since the elevator is out of the option. As she walks down the stairs she slips and sprains her leg. She sits down on the stairs and takes off her heels. She rubs her ankle for a while and stands up to walk down the stairs limping on a leg.
She finally managed to get to the last floor when she noticed the company entrance door has been closed.
She moves to the door and tries to open it. She realizes that the door had been locked.
She shouts and screams to get the attention of anyone passing by. She bangs the door and screams from the top of her voice. She shouts for help but to no avail.
After a series of shouting. She calms down and realizes her efforts had been futile.
She sits on the floor out of frustration. She tried calling Tony and Jane number but it wasn't going through. She couldn't think of any other person to call and her phone was running down, with only five percent left on it.
Susan gives up and sighs, she'll be sleeping over at the office she resigned to her fate.
She heared a strange noise which made her afraid. She remembered one of the stories Jane had told her about the office ghost.
She had waved her off telling her she doesn't believe in ghosts and there is no such thing as ghosts.
She was trying to battle her thoughts when she heard another sound, she crawled away from the door, with her phone and hid under a table.
She was terrified, she could hear the sounds of footsteps walking towards her.
She began to quote bible scriptures,
"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the almighty"
She quoted them silently and trembles in fear . The footsteps became louder and she could see a big shadow standing before her, from under the table she was hiding. She couldn't move as she sees the shadow bending down to look at her under the table.
She screamed very loud and as was about to run away, a hand held her, making her scream even more. The other hand picked up her phone on the floor and points it toward his face.
" Relax, it is me, kelvin"
Susan turns around and stops screaming at the sight of kelvin. She sighs a sigh of relief.
"I thought you were a ghost"
Kelvin bursts out laughing. But she didn't find it funny. She almost had an heart attack and her heart was still pumping very fast as if they wanted to leave her body. She had been sweating profusely.
Kelvin noticed the look on her face and held the laugh in, he removed a handkerchief from his pocket and stretches it forth to her . She collected it from him and wiped her face with it.
He crawls out from under the table and stands. Susan crawls out too, kelvin stretched out his hand for her to grab. She looks at him in the eyes like she was trying to read him, she holds his hand while he drags her up. Susan legs shakes as a result of the sprained ankle, making her lose balance.
Kelvin drags her closer so she doesn't fall. Her left hand resting on Kelvin's chest and her body resting so close to his, she stares into his charming eyes. Kelvin right hand holding Susan's hand close and Kelvin's other hand wrapped round her waist and his eyes on hers.
