Chapter 2: Birthday party
Rays of light penetrated through the window even though it was getting to Dawn, reflecting on my skin, my gaze were on the computer screen while my fingers did the work on the keyboard.
Chatting and laughing were heard from the other office next door this didn't distract my attention for one seconds.
"Emma I need the file from yesterday". George Orwell, a cooperated and well dressed business man stood before me said.
"I gave it to Jenny yesterday" I replied.
"Well, she hasn't brought it to me yet and you know we have a new deal tomorrow, none of you should mess that up, I need the file" Mr George said all at once, eye brows getting burrowed.
I could perceive he was getting angry ,but I didn't know the right cover up.
"I... would try to look for her sir!" I said, trying to stand up ,but heels left the atmosphere with questions as a young, fine woman about my age walked up the scent of her perfume only could make a guy go crazy. She walked up to where Mr George was and handed him the file.
"There's also report of last week transactions, with the profit and loss account sir!" She said boldly.
"I never asked for the profit and loss account Jenny" Mr George said.
"Then guess it was my hard-working spirit that made me think ahead" She let a little giggle, which was annoying.
I rolled my eyes to her phrase, I wouldn't call it; "Hard-working!" I could hear it in my head like a national anthem now, which irritates me now more than ever.
"Well it always good to have a personnel who thinks ahead of others" he said with a smile before leaving.
I watched the whole drama and sat down back in my seat, working on my presentation.
"Um--Thanks Emma" She began.
I looked up at her, expressing my confusion.
"You know for covering me up, you're a sweetheart" She said with a little squeak..
"You're welcome" I said and started with my work like she wasn't there.
"You know today's my birthday" She said.
I didn't really care. "Happy birthday" I said with no excitement in my voice.
"So--I'm inviting everyone" She continued.
I prayed silently she should get out.
"You wanna come?" She asked.
"No! Not really into parties" I blurted out.
"Come on, loosen a bit Will you? Don't act all firm and boring" she said playfully.
"Boring? Is she kidding me right now?" I thought.
"Fine, I'll come" I blurted out without much consideration.
"Yipee! I'll send the email to you" She left.
What wrong with you? Going to Birthday party,it insane.
"What do they wear on birthday parties? Goggle!" I blurted out, picking my phone up to search; 'What do they wear on Birthday parties ?'
The cloth they showcased there were too wide,some were normal, I couldn't even dare wear it.
"This is too open, this is so short, this doesn't have a hand" I critized almost everything I saw.
Why I'm I so worked up
Then the word "Boring!" Ringed on my head like it a timed alarm.
It just a party,I can do this.
Searching on Jumia I checked some dresses as I was way too lazy to enter a boutique to buy one.
One more hour to my delivery time, I had to complete some work. 50minutes passed before my phone vibrated, I checked and it was an email from Jenny. The location she sent doesn't looks like a house but club. So I decided to text her to ask if it in her house the party would be held.
Jenny replied quickly which was to no surprise by me, she's always a social media freak.
Jenny texted; "No Silly,it at a club ,the one that just got opened last week".
"What !" This is definitely something to panic about, I'm too shy for Crowds, talkless of going to a club where they do all sort of things. This is definitely not gonna work".
"Don't be scared you can do this , remember loosen up a bit.
The voice in my sounded so confident.
"I guess I can continue this tomorrow" I said while looking at the time, switching off my system.
About to leave I got a call from an unknown number, picking it.
"Hello! I greeted first.
"Hello, delivery guy here to see Mrs Emma Carlus. Saw the number on the package"
"Ooh! Where are you now?" I asked.
"The Gate!"
"Please be more specific or never mind , I'll just find you instead, hold on" I left there without my hand-bag, coming down the never ending stairs looks like work, I just imagined getting up back, assuming not for my fear of elevators stucking and not able to breath I should have definitely used it. but I snapped out of my thoughts. I came outside and saw him,my package was in his arms,and something of a booklet in the other arm.
"Sign here" He said gesturing me to a box on the paper. I did as I was told, After making all the necessary details, he finally gave me my package.
"Thanks!" I said.
"Welcome" He said smiling revealing his white teeth before leaving.
I carried the package back to my Office, breathing heavily because of the stairs.
I opened it and saw the dress, This isn't how it looked online, It way too short, Just one hand?
Before I could make out another criticism, my phone vibrated on my hands. I checked the screen and it was Jenny, I picked.
"Where the hell are you, everyone's here ? She said over the phone angrily.
"I'm on my way" I cut the call hurriedly.
Guess I'm wearing this then.
I wore it and looked at the small mirror in the toilet and I kind of liked what I saw. It looked pretty good on me, brought my curvy ass ,and with the tightness of the short gown showed my flat tummy, the short hand rested on my elbow, my long brown hair brushed up on my back, I used the same shoe I used to work, overall my face shoned even without putting makeup, brown skin girl I almost muttered proudly.
