It is all in the details…….

James relaxed his shoulders, “ I told you this girl will not be moved by anything I say.” Mr. Orson smiled and took a bite of the chicken piece , “ Still I wanted to try bringing her to the company. According to Austin she is interesting.” Alya shook her head ‘Of course the world is small right?’ “ What do you mean?..” James, “ We had a small bet if I can convince you to shift to the Twirls. But I am serious when I say that I am worried about you being there.” Alya smiled, “ You know I will not leave my friends.” She moved the food in her plate. Still engaged in thoughts. “ What is the motive of doing all these? Why do you think this person whoever he or she is doing it? ” James, “ It is definitely a he, the words were different and not desperate.” Alya looked at James with a curious look, “ Am I being warned or saved brother?” James focused on eating, “ Take it as you want.” She looked away smiling at her brothers pissed off look. The dinner ended without any further mention of the previous topic. Mr. Orson looked like he was having the time of his life. He looked like a fun person, he reminded her of Liam. ‘So many people remind me of Liam he is different. Mr. Orson did not look like a scary competitive businessman as the articles described him.’ She stood in front of the hotel entrance with James. A white colored car came to pick him up. Mr. Orson looked back at Alya, “ Miss Sarah my offer still stands anytime you wish to leave and join us.” Alya smiled in answer, “ I do not think I am such a valuable person Sir, but I will consider your words for the future.” James offered to drop her to her house before leaving. Alya just nodded in answer she was engaged in her thoughts. James broke her thoughts, “ What are you planning to do now?” He seemed serious. Alya looked at him while waiting for the taxi to arrive, “ I do not know I cannot openly discuss about this in the office. But I need to confide it to someone. Brother please forward me the data sheets.” James patted her head, “ This time call if you are having problems.” She smiled at her brother and both got into the taxi. A few feet away one person came out of the second gate and observed them for a long time. He could hear some of the words exchanged in between them. It made him a little sad, anger tried to replace it but failed. He watched them going away pissed on having no knowledge about this meeting. “ Alya what are you doing right now?” thought Brian.

Next Day 7:50am

Alya walked in the office yawning. She was up late at night looking at the papers. Tom found an anomaly in the previous data sheet to be presented in the meeting. She tied her hair into a tight bun. Some of the small strands were threatening to get out of the tied hair. ‘Good morning office life.’ She sighed and walked in. She greeted people on the way to the lift. The lift was filled with people she backed into the back corner. ‘ Ugh I wish I had time to get a cup of strong coffee.’ Last night’s dinner left her with lots of questions. ‘ The things are getting more complicated here. If there was something we can do to stop this.’ She reached the floor and walked in unconscious about the surroundings, a small screaming sound came in front of her. She looked up to see Megan with a large number of files on her hand stacked and about to fall on her. Alya reached out quickly without thinking twice and grabbed hold of the files. Megan stood straight with the help. “ Thanks Sarah really appreciate this.” Alya took some of the files from her, “ Why are you carrying so many files together?” Megan, “ Helea is going crazy she is shouting on everyone and asked to bring all these quickly.” Alya, “ Shouting this early in the morning? Not everyone is here yet.” Megan, “ I do not know what is going on she might be having trouble with ahem you know.” Alya felt confused, “ Really? what is it about now?” She accompanied Megan to the room. Megan, “ I do not know clearly but something happened last time it was the same. Remember?” Alya looked away a bit last time the reason was her and it was pretty hushed up. This time she wondered what the problem is, “ Are you sure it is like last time? I mean it was a different issue and I heard it was solved. ” Megan, “ I do not understand though. Helea has a bad temper. I wish we were not in the receiving end. Besides why do you look so tired? You took a break for resting right?” Alya was thinking hard to avoid the question but decided to go against it. Something came up I meet James for dinner. It was a bit stressful then I expected it to be.” Megan looked at her with pity, “ Is he too strict?” Alya looked up to the ceiling thinking of a good explanation, “ In a way I guess all big brothers are a little bit strict towards their younger siblings.” She smiled and dropped the discussion since they approached Helea’s room. ‘It is alright to share something, but I think I should decide whether I should talk to Brian about the information I got first then others’ The door opened to a pissed of Helea looking on the screen and files opened in messed up point to on her desk. She looked like she will attack someone in any moment now. This made Alya shiver, she quickly helped to keep the file on the table and stepped back to leave the room. But fortune did not shine on her as much as she wanted. Helea, “ Just a minute Sarah, stay here and close the door. I have to talk to you.” Alya shivered again thinking of anything she did wrong or messed up for some reason. Nothing recent came to her mind. But something clicked her mind. ‘ Wait a minute did she say have to or want to?’ She turned back and closed the door slowly. “ Is everything alright?” She took a sit her expression seemed to give an alarm as if something is wrong. Helea, “ Thank you for both of your help in the presentation. But this has caused another issue in the company. Sarah I know you, but I must ask did you change anything changed in the forms I gave you last time?” Alya looked at her for a bit, “ What change are you talking about?” Helea turned her screen to the girls, “ This look over here this came from you.” A rage of fire was building up slowly in a corner part of her head, “ I handled the forms to you, and you went through them. If there was a mistake done by me. You would know about the imbalance.” Helea, “ Yes, that is what I said as well but fingers are still pointed at you.” Alya lowered her head trying to keep her temper down, ‘This is not the time to be angry before getting all the answers.’ “ May I know who is pointing the finger to me this time?” Helea, “ I cannot say that but whoever it is put out points about you.” Alya got angry her voice tone came low she was quickly losing control over her words , “ What is it this time?” She got up from the chair and pointed to the screen opened, “ That is not my work and you guys should know it. I am leaving I had enough of this, if there is a problem you can remove me from here.” Megan quickly stood up, “ Wait this is not what she meant Sarah please sit down let us discuss this.” Alya did not look back at her, “ I do not want to blame anyone, but I am getting tired of this. It was not right to even think there is a possibility after all that has happened.” Helea, “ Calm down I will talk. We will handle this I had to ask because it is protocol.” Alya did not listen and walked to the door, ‘ I really do not want to talk about anything right now do what you guys want. I wash my hands of these.’ She walked to her desk frustrated her body shook in anger. ‘I do not even want to be here right now.’ She took out the phone and checked the mail given to her by James and forwarded the message to Helea and Brian. She typed a message with it “ You should have checked the time stamp part. It is all in the details.” Alya out the phone in her pocket and walked out of the floor she took the stairs and left office as quickly as she could. What infuriated her was not the fact she was accused again but the thought of none of her colleagues defending her at this situation. She stood on the road when her phone blinked. It was an asking to confirm email for the transfer. ‘ Huh I do not remember this one. I should answer yes now right?’ she quickly typed a reply for the answer in affirmative.
