She smiled to herself and finally drifted to sleep. The next morning, she was awoken by her alarm clock(Cecilia)she got dressed and got ready for work. They reached the office around 9am and as usual they were late. Queen saw her manager, she quickly hid behind the security post and waited for him to pass..The security man : Hunjin saw her and gave her a smile he really knew what to do. Because he has been doing that for the past year since he got employed in HEJ firm. He quickly went to her rescue by taking her bag and opening the back gate for her. She quickly rushed towards her office.She entered her office in a rush which made his office mate Kim Seokjn ( Kim for short) startled..
Kim; Hey what happening?
QUEEN ; nothing.. Good morning!
Just then the manager entered.Queen pretended to be taking something from Kim table.
MANAGER; Hello there....
QUEEN AND KIM : Hi Sir
MANAGER;Queen what time did you come to work today?
QUEEN; Sir please about 45mins ago. (SHE LIED)
MANAGER; 45mins? He asked checking his time. But Kim was she here when I came for the files?
Kim: Sir yes and no!he then turned to give Queen the 'have you seen'look..
MANAGER ; My friend what do you mean by that?
Kim: Sir i meant to say she was at work but was not in the office.. She had gone to take plain sheets from the stores, and that was what she was arranging on my table when you entered..
QUEEN; (now seems to have recovered her voice)Yes sir i saw you when you were entering your office..
MANAGER; Ok..anyway Queen please do write a report so far about our achievements since the begining of the year and what still needs to be done regarding our department..I will read through tomorrow at exactly 7:35am before the meeting with our new CEO..
QUEEN; Yes sir she said saluting like a soldier.. the manager shook his head and smiled..

QUEEN ;Kim my love thank you so much... She said putting her hands together in front of him
Kim; Oh please till when am i going to cover up for you?What would you have done if you were leaving in a palace..You are never on time..
She scoff and gave him a wink which made them laugh out loud..
SOME HOURS LATER...
Kim: Is already 5:15pm. Time to go home..(turning to Queen)hey Miss Elegant are you not going home now?
QUEEN;(busily typing on the laptop)No have to finish up a project and also type the report for sir..You know am hardworking..
Kim: Hardworking? Well with that there is no doubt, but hey are you doing over time because you are hardworking or you know you would be late tomorrow?
QUEEN: ( chuckles) I don't know just suit yourself.
He gave her a peg . Namjion is still waiting for your answer to his proposal. He said with a tease. Tell him to f**k off. Queen replied and he left the office smiling.
6:15pm
Hey crazy why do i have to get infected with your lateness because am your friend? For crying out loud is almost 6:30pm Ceccy said .Aww gal , my Russian bestie with a golden hair. Lets go Queen said switching of the laptop.. They walked beside the road holding their hands and talking about their future. CESSY seriously i wish to see Mr strange again..damn gal he is hot and handsome..Queen said dreamily... Wow my friend is in love with a stranger..I didn't say i was in love with him am just admiring him..Well sweet do you realise he is the first guy you are admiring..Tell me sweetheart are you crushing on him? Cecilia asked in a serious tone. No am not Queen replied and smiled..hmm well bestie am kind of crushing on him. On a more serious note how is mum and dad? It was then that Cecilia told Queen that her aunt who is incharge of a sick home around the hospital has come to take her parents there so that they will have medical attention almost everyday.. Queen became sad and hurt at the same time..Cessy realising her friend's mood quickly apologise for not informing her before and after..
QUEEN; Ok I will forgive you on one condition...
CESSY;Name it girly
QUEEN;You will have to move to my house until your parents come back..perhaps is better than being in that kiost house alone and hey i will also have my time keeper and alarm with me.. She smiled and dodged the knock just on time..
Ok I think i love your idea to confess i felt scared yesterday sleeping alone. They immediately board a taxi and left to pack Cessy things.
