The Boss Prey

s**t. Lena woke up that morning. The kano sun streaming through her window, bright and annoying. Suddenly like a bolt, she remembers. WORK. Panicking, she picked her phone and the time was 7:45. She can't afford to be late, all she has is 15 minutes to get ready for work. The company opens at 8am. After waking up, she hastily ran to the shower. Coming out, she wore her black palazzo pants and milk silk long sleeve shirt. She had bought it a week ago, specifically for her this day. Her best friend from the university, Blessing, had insisted she buys it. "First impression is everything girl, step out in style " blessing had said sitting and eating a bag of chips from lying dangerously on Lena's bed . Now as she stood admiring herself in the mirror, she likes lady staring back at her. Unfortunately, she wished she could go out looking like this, but she can't. She took out a kimono and put on. Habits. If blessing was to see her, she'll definitely go mad with fury. It was already 8, too late to take any breakfast. Lena rushed to the fridge to take a bottles of water. She pulled the door of it fridge it didn't budge. She tried again. This goddamn thing. She pushed this time angrily with renewed force, this time successful, but it seems a certain i***t has left something uncovered and now its all splashed over her. Lena cursed loudly, her mind filled with murderous plans for Blessing. Lena was received at Globalsolutions by shamsu the Branch manager who had interviewed her; few weeks ago. Shamsu was a gentle talker, with a calm demeanor and beautiful, sweet smile. With Shamsu, Lena felt the tight anxious knot in her stomach begins to lose. It was because of his easy personality that she had felt comfortable and killed that interview. Even now as he walk her through her tasks, she felt welcomed and relaxed in the new environment . Lena felt positive about her new job; as the project manager of globalsolutions. Settling in her seat, Lena mulls over all the series of unfortunate incident that has befell her this morning. From the fridge incident, to that woman. That annoying woman in the parking lot. Earlier as Lena parked her car. A black and milk Range rover honked at her. Lena didn't think it was at her ignored it. Picking up her bag and phone, someone knocked on her window. She looks up and finds a woman staring into her car, clearly angry. The woman made a up and down motion with her fingers. Instructing Lena to wound down her glass. "can't you read"? The woman asked in an icy cold voice. Lena looked around her dumb at such a question. " apart from being an illiterate, she is also dumb it seems" the woman says to herself. putting her hands on her waist in an exhausted and resigned manner. Lena looked at the woman for the first time, from her waist upward to her face. She was tall, and slender, her face angular, chin up in the air. She wore a nude colored suite. Striking and elegant. For a moment, Lena felt self conscious. Sitting in her weather beaten corolla. But she had enough of bullshits this morning and isn't about to take another. From who God knows? From some spoilt elites wife, who had never worked a day in their lives. who have the luxury of time and comfort to go about disrespecting people as they go about their business. Lena stormed out of car seething. "I don't care who you are or what you want but I won't sit here and watch you insult me" " Oh, she talks" the woman mutters under her breath. " what does it says there? Don't worry. I'll help you; It say no parking. For official use only. You broke a rule and still has the audacity to yell? " Lena looked at the sign and back at woman. Back and forth again. She figured she doesn't have time for this. Moreover, she is late. She gave the woman one last look before rushing to resume her first day at work.
