Chapter 7

Hailey was done with her work after the encounter with Valerian and Colhane. She wanted to leave her work with Clara, when she refused saying the boss would be furious.

So she would just have to take it in herself. Valerian and Colhane were in the meeting for hours and she doubted that they would be done any time soon.

She opened the door silently and saw that they were sitting on the left end of his office looking at something like a power point.

How should she do this at all? Should she tell him that she is done or just put the report by the table and leave?

Yup the second option seemed to be the better option as it would not interrupt them and she could just leave unseen if she did it quietly.

Okay Hailey it's time to do this and action! She got in and crept slowly towards his table silently,it was dark inside as the only light that was there was coming from the screen.

They hadn't heard her as they were engrossed in what they were watching. Slowly, slowly she was tip toeing,

"ouch!!" she yelped as she tripped over the cord. She found herself flat on all fours.

Of course you guessed they had both turned around and the lights came automatically on. Then they were both by her side trying to help her get up. Could the ground swallow her any further? Could this be anymore embarrassing?

"Thank you,"she said it for the umpteenth time.

"Are you okay" Valerian asked?

"Yes sir I'm fine, I'm so sorry to disturb your meeting." She stammered trying to explain herself.

"I wanted to place my work by your table without interrupting you."

"Its okay." Colhane responded, "we were right about done ."

"Right." Valerian also added on.

She picked up her file and she didn't know what to do with it, should she give it to him or should she just place it on the table? Why was she overthinking this?

"Are you okay?"Colhane asked breaking me out of my thought process."

Yes sir." She squeaked.

"I told you to call me Colhane."

Hailey decided to place the file on the table which was a horrible idea as she looked like a mouse who was just caught stealing cheese and they were both staring at me so intently.

"How was your lunch?" Colhane asked before she could bid them good night and leave.

"It was great." she respond nonchalantly. "

It would have been better with me" Colhane responded.

She didn't know how to respond to that.

"Thank you." was the first thing that her brain could think of and she just blurted it out. Wow Hailey you couldn't have just kept quiet.

She noticed Valerian was looking at her quizzically.

"You welcome." Said Colhane. "I hope next time you can give me a chance to prove myself to you."

"Um okay." She responded lightly. When she noticed Valerian stiffen. Was she embarrassing him or something?

"Have a good evening!" she exclaimed at both of them and quickly left the room.

She went and cleared everything and finished off all her work. She decided to take a shower and change before she left as was was already running late for the other job she had.

Yes the other job,she was a waitress at night-time so she could get money to cover costs for herself as she had no parents who could fend for her. Hopefully she would quit because of this job. She was too tired to be juggling both.

She was a bit tired and a shower would definitely do the trick for all this exhaustion that she was feeling. There was a shower at the workplace, so she would use that one and then after the shower she would take the bus to my other job.

Hailey went to the bathroom and she took off her clothes and opened the hot water. The nice thing about this company was the space and the luxurious staff bathroom. Although apparently our bathroom didn't even stand a chance against the bosses one.

Whatever she should just be grateful for the one they have here. It was white and bright. She took off her clothes and got in to the hot water and they pelted her skin. She relished in the moment.

She was thinking and rerunning today's events in her head when all of a sudden the curtain flew open and,her naked body was exposed.

Her eyes were wide open in shock and there before her stood.....
