Bad choices make Good stories...

Stepping into that office the first thing that i noticed was,' I am the only young woman here, the rest have rings on their fingers' I thought myself. A considerable number of males, only two eligible for me, that is, no baby mama and single, I love the fact that their attention will be on me. Drifting in my own fantasy i couldn't hear my manager call me until, the annoying one between my eligible suitors snapped at me. "Alright everyone, let us give welcome our day dreaming intern," he said laughing, "So this is Gibby, I'll ask her to stand up and introduce herself, everyone else introduce yourself after her. Im the manager of the department, it is my cruise ship and all the results good or bad are mine im accountable for it all", he broke into laughter along with his surbodinates, " welcome to SPNG Group of companies our Strategic sourcing department. I could see that my 'bosses' were taken aback by my name, apparently my very African parents saw it fit to name their daughter Gibby. "Hello, everyone im Gibby Chaneli, I'll be joining you for a whole year", as i was talking, i could feel his piercing gaze from his corner. But when i stared at him in discomfort a mischievous smile cracked across his face. Was he making fun of my name or my very presence was amusing to him. "From April to March," i continued, "im looking foward to getting to know and learn from you all". The impossibly annoying suitor, Chad, showed me my sit which was next to him and in front of my mysterious, diabolically charming, intriguing suitor, Theo, whose gaze was locked on me till i sat down. Im pretty sure that his aim was to make me nervous and man, it was working. Everyone started introducing themselves, to be frank i was interested in one. As they say, save the best for the last, "Hey", he said in a ridiculously low tone, " Im Theo, how are you doing Gibbs" he said calmly with a smirk. There's no way i was going to fall for this Christian Grey, Fifty shades vibe. The intense gaze as if he can see through you, smirking as if he has a place way higher than you and that overwhelming dominance he's trying to portray. Its not going to work on me, I wont allow it, simply not. Yesterday, Sunday night, my sister, Harmony, gave me the handbook to get me through my internship. With one golden rule, " DO NOT FALL FOR ANYONE AT WORK, THEY ARE THE PREDATORS AND YOU ARE THE PREY! " What if i like him, or love", i said moving a little further from her. She looked at me and rolled her eyes. "Baby, they never care about anything else besides what's between your legs", she looked at me intently to emphasize her point. "Come on,, we say that about all the males besides our relatives, thats how the world is we make and break each other!, i said with a huge smile plastered on my face. " Get away", she said playfully slapping me across my face, " anyway you are there for school, dont lose focus you have dreams to fulfill and parents to please so just dont do it" Harmony said with a giggling. "Hold up, you have a boyfriend", she suddenly remembered and the moment I got to the mystery men of the world, i suddenly forgot that, d*mn, im toxic. Well sis, im thinking about your words today, locked them up in my heart. Let's see where life takes us, im in a happy relationship and i wouldn't do anything dumb end up losing it, heck no. I got this, no man with toxic masculine traits that im attracted to will be able to sweep me off my feet, i got this. I got this, right? The work environment seems okay, my work desk is quite cozy and i kinda like it. "Gibby, from noon till this whole week ends, you'll be attending training sessions to get you ready for a full fledged working spree", my manager laughs alone and it quickly gets awkward. Everyone else is busy with work, so im the only one who has to laugh at his jokes out of politeness. So i laugh, awkward enough. "So, i have to say this now, Gibby is a student hence we do not expect any of you guys," he says pointing at Theo and Chad, " to treat her any other way but as a student under mentorship, as a younger sister. Is that clear?" "Yes, boss!" Chad responds in a way that i find a little too sarcastic. Theo just lifts his head in agreement. As the manager said the rest of the week went by with me in training rooms, which was quite interesting, i liked the advanced system that the organization was using. I could see some old men looking at me as if they wanted to see through the work uniform i had on, which was modest enough. At some point during that week i walked into the office and im sure Chad was talking about me. Around the time i walked through the door he was saying, "Theo, its always the innocent looking ones like this one, who are the wildest, Dawg," he laughed. The stares they gave me as i walked in were the You know we are talking about you, but what can you do about it stares. The 'bosses' were in a meeting upstairs so these nincampoops were the only ones there. I opted to play dumb like i heard nothing," Hello guys, how are you doing ".Both replied," Good", "How is the training going, are you understanding what you are being taught," Theo asks me. "Well, its not bad i have a few questions though can you help me". Swiftly he answers, " No, ask the people who are training you, i do not intend to be a babysitter" . A bolt of laughter came from the annoying one and that led to my exit. And there i knew that for the rest of the week my days, i will spend in the training room. Because i cannot hang around people with this attitude. Though its a turn on for me iwont hang around. Right?
