819 Words
Eliora's POV
I know that face but I can't just recall where
I study the files thoroughly.
“I'll leave now”
He says
“ You better deliver and give me intel by tomorrow morning”
I sit back in my chair and try to digest what just happened.
“Destroy a man's company”
“Is that really all I'm here for?”
I have to do it anyway.
Not like I have any choice.
This is my first time being independent.
I put on a janitor's uniform and headed for his company.
Darwin luxury and suites
It was much bigger and better than ours.
My manager sights me from his office window and smiles
That was cringe.
He must really have a strong grudge against this man
They must history.
At his large company,
I see all sorts of people
Some were on conprate dressing while some were on cleaners uniform.
The building was fascinating.
It gave out all forms of luxury.
A receptionist walks up to me.
Her dressing was so organized and beautiful.
Every detail on point.
She claims that all the janitors that were signed were already inside.
My mind goes blank.
“Mr Darwin asked specially for me”
I try to manipulate.
“But aren't you still supposed to be inside by now?”, she argues.
“Yes, but Mr Darwin asked me specifically to come at this time”
“That's not possible. He'd barely care about anybody not to talk of a bare cleaner “
“You're lying “
“No I'm not”
She gets distracted by a phone call.
She heads back to her table.
I make a run for it.
She screams,”catch her”
Some security men rush after me
“I'm going to cause a commotion”
I jump over some boxes being carried over by some staff.
It leaves every one there gasping
I pray Mr Darwin doesn't catch me .
God pls or everything will be ruined.
I manage to hide behind an ac conditioner while thinking of what next to do
“If they catch me, it's going to be bad for both me and my firm”
I was trespassing.
I began to panic
I mistakenly shifted something, which caught the attention of the security men.
I started running again.
I hid behind everything in sight until I finally lost them
*Why is security so tight in this place.”
I began to get irritated.
I saw something that looked like a fancy door and then I clicked.
It was an elevator.
“Great, that saves me a lot of stress
“ I have to find him.”
I search through the numerous offices.
I come across a big office.
It was on the top floors
There's a man there.
That's him.
Mr Darwin.
The most feared man and the hottest s**t in Texas.
From the way he walked, you could know he has power.
No, influence as well as affluence.
He was said to be very possessive of his toys.
A business guru at his own worth
He sat quietly in his office looking at some files..
I hide at the edge of the room before the door.
I think I can hear him.
I can manage.
No.
I move to the window.
I peep carefully at him.
Now I could at least read his lips
Footsteps approach.
I hide, towards an empty box.
It was besides the door.
The person coming.
He looks at it suspiciously then enters.
“Does he know I'm a spy”
“Is this something regular that happens”
I become confused.
I didn't know what I was doing anymore.
“Calm down”
I let out a shaky breath.
I head for the window one more time
Desperate to hear them, I move closer.
The man that walked him seemed to be talking to him.
I look closer.
They were laughing.
They seem to be close.
I thought the cold billionaire had no friends, no allies.
That was the trending rumor
I could hear the man, his name was Edward joke with Mr Darwin telling him to loosen up a bit.
To reveal a lighter side.
Then they both laugh again.
I move closer again.
This time Edward is telling him something
Somehow;
He learns there's a new strategist at our firm.
Edwin probably tells him.
I couldn't hear him but I could read his lips
“ This is her personal file right?”
“Yes”
He opens the file.
And then he freezes from complete shock.
He smiles again.
“Eliora”
“I've finally found you”
Did I read that right?
I hope I didn't
Because When I look at Darwin,when I really look at him, I see something shifting
Not just strategy
Not just power
Possession.
And I'm not sure I'm ready for what that means.
