Green-eyed monster

Lisa has reached her apartment and opened the door. She was sad over what happened in between them but not to hurt her feelings again she had to do that. She couldn't think of anything else other than his sad face because of her. She didn't know how to get away with that. Then she took a step to maintain her distance from him. She went towards the kitchen to make herself dinner. She lived alone in that apartment after she moved into his company. She was disturbed by the sound of the doorbell ringing. She sighed and looked through the hole but she couldn't see anyone there so, she went back to the kitchen to continue her cooking but again she heard the same. She got irritated, opened the door aggressively and yelled at that person who was doing that all without looking for it. There was no one in her sight and was about to close the door but someone appeared in front of her. She flinched by the sudden appearance.

"MOM?" she yelled and smiled a little to see her mother there.

"What are you doing?" she asked her.

"I wanted to live with my daughter so without any thought I came here," she said and sat on the couch with a small pout on her face. Lisa couldn't resist that and went there to give her a tight hug.

"I know it is not so long but I missed you," Lisa said still hugging her.

After some second, she pulled back and her mother pecked her forehead and said, "Me too, so, from now on I gonna live here with you," her mother said while making her way to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Lisa whispered to herself while watching her mother, "even though she is old but I always find her cute."

When her mother reached and looked at the mess she created while cooking. Her mother never saw this before but that day it was weird. She called Lisa to ask her about all that. She hummed in response to ask her mother why she called her but when she reached, it was also shocking to her. The whole kitchen was a mess. Her mother looked at her suspiciously and asked straight, " Is there someone else in the apartment because I never saw cooking like this?"

" No, there isn't anyone other than us, "Lisa said.

"Were you playing in the kitchen? " her mother asked.

Lisa didn't say anything to her which meant that she was playing but she didn't let her know about the actual reason behind that mess. Her mother laughed a little because she found it cute.

Her mother cleaned the kitchen and had dinner with her after. They talked for some time and went to their bedroom to get sleep.

The next morning, Lisa got up and did her morning routine. And got ready for work. She made her way downstairs to have breakfast cooked by her mother. After that, she bid bye to her mother and got into her car.

After 30 minutes of driving, she reached the company. As a manager, she had to maintain a daily schedule for Louis but that day she forgot that Louis had a recording with a famous female singer. She reached and found one of her superiors standing in front of the room with an angry expression on his face. Lisa was walking casually because she wasn't aware of his recording in the schedule. She was about to enter the room but before that, her superior asked her to meet him in his office. She asked for permission to get into his office.

"DO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY OF A MANAGER BUT I DON'T THINK YOU KNOW HOW TO BE A RESPONSIBLE PERSON," he yelled at her not loud enough to make other employees hear.

"What happened? Did I do something?" she asked innocently.

"Did you forget about today's recording of Louis with Isabella? huh?" he said as a reminder for her. "Oh shit," she mumbled.

She cursed herself under her breath and apologised for her mistake.

"I don't want this kind of irresponsibility from next time, better take it as a last chance to work as a manager here, " he warned and asked her to leave his office. With an embarrassing look, she went from there and saw Louis standing there with Isabella. She turned her gaze at Isabella who was holding his hand as if they were asked to be a couple there. Isabella asked her to move aside after greeting her. She moved aside and asked him about recording. Before he could answer, Isabella said, "I thought you know the responsibilities as a manager but I don't think you know how to be a good manager," she just repeated the words of Mr Park which meant they both heard him scolding her. He went inside the office with her without saying anything to defend her. She felt sad not because she insulted her but he didn't say anything.

After some time, she went to his room and checked his schedule for a week. She was surprised to know that he had to be with Isabella for a week. She imagined very weird things in her mind about him and Isabella. Coming out of her imagination, she just slapped herself for thinking that way about him.

Soon they both came out of his office after a long discussion, Lisa went to inform him about his practice but Isabella asked him to go to the cafe to grab a cup of coffee with her. Isabella didn't do this intentionally, he agreed with her and went to the nearby cafe with her. Lisa felt bad for herself and cursed that Isabella for going to the cafe with him. She was mumbling to herself when one of the employees approached her to ask what she was talking about.

"Is something wrong with you Miss Lisa," an employee asked her.

"No, I'm fine," she said and went back to the room. She continuously checked the time in her watch, waiting for him to come back but they were taking so much time.

"Why he isn't coming back?" she said to herself while looking out of the glass to see if they were back. After 15 minutes, they entered the room while laughing over something and took seats on the chair still talking about something. Lisa was watching them laughing over some nonsense stuff that was told her, from the corner of her eyes.

"It's not that funny but just look at him, laughing over her silly jokes," she uttered slowly to herself.

"Okay Louis, now I think I should get some rest," she finally bid bye to him. She sighed and took a deep breath but little did she know that Louis was noticing her for the whole time. Louis went near to her, gathered the courage to say something but she interrupted her.

"I guess I am done with that," she said and tried to make her way outside the room, she excused herself to ignore him. She felt bad to see him with that woman.

"What if I'm not his girlfriend, at least I'm his friend, how could he ignore me in front of her like that?" she mumbled softly in the restroom but she didn't know that her words were listened to by a female employee.
