Chapter 61- Governor's Design.

Raina's POV.

I woke up with a start when I heard my alarm ring. I stretched immediately, it was going to be a very stressful and busy day for me, I had so much stuff to do and take care of.

I rolled my eyes when I realized I slept off last night and everything I brought back was scattered around the house, I wasn't ready to arrange anything yet, there was no need, I was moving out today.

I checked my phone and was startled to see many notifications, I smiled as I saw positive comments and reaction about my sneak peak design post.

Washing up immediately, I wore a stylish jumpsuit that I shipped with Lyn when we went for new outfits.

I tied my hair into a ponytail and left some part behind, my hair was extremely curly today, it gets curly when I shower or take my bath with hot water, it has tiny curls.

I looked at my face in the mirror once more and smiled at my face, my freckles were showing clearly today, I didn't have time for any makeup or any concealer, I applied my gloss and ran out of the house after checking my look once more.

I ordered a cab, I got lots of pay for my design and also my salary, so I had lots of cash in my hands.

"Good morning Miss Raina." I stared at the cab driver suspiciously, surprised he knew my name, I raised my brow at him and he smiled.

"I'm sorry if I took you by surprise Miss Raina, just wanted to say hi." He said.

"I'm surprised, how many of how people know me and I don't know them, this popularity is really surprising." I said softly.

"It's understandable, I will be surprised too, if I got popular quickly and I don't understand anything about it." He said and I nodded.

"Right, you get it right, I don't even understand anything about it yet, I'm just really shocked about everything that's all." I said.

"Anyways we're all excited to see the unveiling." He added and I smiled.

"I hope you will all like it." I said as the office came into view.

"And one more thing, you're so pretty." He said and I blushed.

"Thanks here's your cash." I handed him his money and he shook his head.

I frowned at him, "hey take your money alright, you'll make me feel really bad if you don't." I added, he took the money and thanked me, I went out with my bag and waved at him.

I smiled at the security man who beamed at me when he saw me.

"Good morning Miss Raina, hope you have a wonderful day." He said.

"Good morning Mike, I.hope you have a wonderful day too." He smiled and ushered me in.

Breathing calmly I went inside the company, I was a little nervous, it was surprising to discover my popularity, and also the fact that I had people watch me than they did before, I saw stares come my way and I stilled a little catching my breathe.

I turned to the receptionist who nodded at me with a smile, I waved at her and went into the elevator.

Before the door closed, "does she think herself bigger than us, now she got a little popular." A voice said and I stilled as the elevator closed.

I rolled my eyes, imagining what I did wrong that I had to be judged this way, I normally came to work without being noticed and all I had to do was great the security man at the entrance and also the receptionist, no one took attention of me, and now everyone suddenly got interested in my affair.

I leaned on the elevator wall, I was already tired and I didn't sleep well, because I had worked late, when I came back from Maple Town.

I looked up when the elevator door opened and I saw six employees walk in, I bowed at them and they did, some looked at me warringly, I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

"She must be feeling herself that she isn't just a normal employee any more." I turned as the girl wearing a red skirt and a blue shirt.

"Yeah, she must be feeling big." The one close to her whispered back.

"That's why she started hanging out with Evelyn Edmondo." The first girl replied and everyone's eyes in the elevator turned to me.

I sighed as I remembered that I had to go to the control room before going upstairs to my department.

I clicked my tongue, I wasn't going to let them speak to me that way, I wasn't someone who didn't know or defend her rights, I was definitely no pushover.

"Excuse me." I said and they turned, I pointed to the two people who whispered, I pressed the button indicating that I was highlighting soon.

"You all should be talented, that's what got me famous," I said and they rolled their eyes, 

I smirked, "but I'm sorry you don't know what talent is, since you spend time talking about people, that's the only talent you have, you should be ashamed of yourselves." I said and the other workers turned to them and laughed, I left the elevator waving to them when a smile after seeing their faces.

I was satisfied that I replied them, I really hated irritants and people who said things without thinking.

"Good morning sir." I said as I met Mr Taylor, he waved his hands and ushered a seat.

"I was asked by my department to come here immediately," I paused bringing out the files I was asked to give to him, "everything we'll give the governor is here today, just wanted confirmation before we proceed with the work, we have to finish it today, he has his unveiling this evening." I added.

"I already saw the design and I'm mind blown by how amazing you design, you exceeded our expectations, I'm sure he'll love it," he paused returning the document to me with a smile, I got it and tugged it in my bag, "you can proceed, we need to finish immediately." He said and I nodded leaving the room immediately.

I dialed Lyn's number and she picked it at the third ring, I could hear a little rustle from the phone.

"I'm sorry I was a little busy, I have to submit my designs, and I'm done." She laughed and I smiled.

"I'm coming over there, just had to submit mine too, and I'll be leaving after twenty minute." I told her and she clicked her tongue pausing.

"Let's meet for a little while in the cafeteria, I'll be there in a jiffy, just wait for me." She said.

"Which cafeteria are we using?" I asked, we had lots of cafeteria, each departments had theirs, but there was a regular Cafeteria that was for everyone that worked in EBC.

"We'll use the regular one for anyone." Lyn said and ended the call.

I went downstairs and reached the cafeteria in two minutes, it was three floors from the control area department.

"Hi Cedric." I waved to the guard, he stood up and hugged me immediately.

"Well, if this isn't our new celebrity." He said and I laughed.

"Oh please." I rolled my eyes, we came to this company on the same day, he had always trained close to my school to be a security officer.

"Hey Raina." Lyn said hugging me from behind, I smiled as I held her, I felt eyes from the cafeteria on us, but I really didn't care anymore if they stared.

"I know the time is already over," Lyn paused as we sat, "but I'm going to explain it fast," she chuckled, "you're now a public video, I will be your account manager." She said and I smiled.

She told me a lot about the media life, I kept nodding to things I understood and I stared at her like she grew two heads when I didn't understand, she always laughed at me when I ever I gave her that expression.

We finished eating quickly, she didn't eat much, and I understood, the food was too over cooked for her, we left the cafeteria and I joined the team for the Governor's office.

I was already drained since we reached there, I had to forsee everything they did, it had to go according to what I designed, I had to make sure any mistake will be corrected immediately.

The work was finally complete, I was nervous of the Governor's reaction, but I still took lots of pictures regardless.

I sighed as I saw the governor walk in, I bit my fingernails repeatedly.

He came in and paused for a while than he came and hugged me carrying me up, I was surprised by his reaction.

"This is magnificent, you exceeded my expectations, you gave me what I loved and wanted like you knew my heart, I love Lillies so much." He said and everyone clapped.
