She suddenly jerks herself away from his hand and he releases her. She limps away from him and sits on the table. Kelvin sits beside her and looks at her curiously
"How did you get trap in here?"
Susan sighs
"I had loads of work I had to finish today sir and I kind of fell asleep, The next thing I saw when I woke up was darkness, like total darkness and with the aide of my phone's led light I was able to get down here or it would have been a total mess"
Kelvin bursts out laughing. She just stared at him waiting for him to finish laughing and
"What about you sir?, How did you get trapped?"
He turns his face around
"Well I forgot something in my office and came back to get it. Just as I was about to leave my office the lights went off, I didn't even take my mobile phone along because I was in a hurry "
Susan looked at him trying to understand the story when something jolted across her mind
"I'm sorry sir but if you didn't take your phone along with you then how were you able to walk all the way from the first floor to down here"
Kelvin looks away from her trying to avoid the question, when suddenly she pictures him struggling to get down.Susan bursts out laughing, she laughed out loud and held her stomach while laughing. She tries to hold it in but couldn't control herself. Kelvin turned to her and sees how she laughs and smiles.
She finally stops laughing and apologizes for laughing at him.
"I'm sorry sir"
Kelvin looks at her and sighs
"We should be around the same age range"
Susan was confused not knowing what he meant
"Oh okay sir"
"You can drop the honorifics, you don't have to use them for me. It makes me feel uncomfortable"
Susan nods
"Okay sir," kelvin looked at her with a questioning look on his face
Susan realizes her mistake and corrects it
"I'm sorry, I meant okay"
Kelvin laughs and sighs. There was utter silence in the room. Susan couldn't relax herself. The moment felt awkward and she begins to look around the office. When suddenly Kelvin breaks the silent.
"I can't believe I get locked up in my company and with you"
Susan smiles awkwardly
"Yeah, what a strange coincidence "
"Yeah, it is"
Kelvin looks at Susan
"How long?"
Susan looks at Kelvin confused, she doubts if she heard well and wanted to confirm.
"How long?"
"Yes, how long?"
Susan still confused asks
"How long what?"
"How long are you going to avoid it?"
She looked a bit surprised, she knew instantly what he meant by the question. She knew he knew already.
" Do you recognize me?"
"Kingsley high school"
Susan knew that she couldn't avoid it anymore, so she had to face it.
"So you knew me all along?"
Kelvin sighs
"Of course, you were the brilliant and smartest student in the class"
Susan was surprised, she realizes she was stupid to have thought he didn't know her.
" I didn't know you would recognize me and
I thought wasn't noticed".
"Perhaps what you think, you were really noticeable "
Susan scratches her hair, she wondered when she was ever noticed. She suddenly turns to him
"But why did you also act like you didn't know me?"
Kelvin smirks
"You ignored me first, it was so obvious you were avoiding me, I felt maybe you felt uncomfortable around me and I had to take a step back "
Susan was amazed
She laughs
