The In-Between

 Neutral 

 Chapter 2

I heard her touch the keys "DRMFSLTD" again and just then, her phone started ringing. 

"Yes? 

I'll be there" she said on the phone. Her voice was so soft as she spoke and it made me drool more on her. 

But at this moment, I was scared.

What is she going to do to me?

I heard her stand and started walking to the door which was towards my direction. 

Oh, God! 

Surprisingly, she walked pass me and didn't even turn to take a look at me. 

Huh? That's strange.

I watched in surprise as she walked to the door, but just when she was about closing the door, her cloth got stuck on the door handle. 

Oh no! She definitely going to turn back to take it off. My heart skipped as she turned to unhook it, that was it. We made the eye contact.

Woop!

Is this for real? She was so heavenly hot; cuter than she looked on TV and magazines. I thought she wouldn't look like this, after the breakup. 

Oh, my Goddess! I could hardly breathe. 

She had this long lashes and her hair is giving more volume to the hotness. Even though I only had to look at her for a short time, I could swear she was the most beautiful lady I'd ever seen.

She stared at me briefly and quickly took her eyes away like she had seen no one important. 

And finally, she left the room.

I placed my hand on my forehead and took in a deep breath; that was so close. I can't believe she didn't even react to my presence there. 

Like do I look like ugly or something that she didn't react? But it's still a miracle to know I was in the same room with her. It's unbelievable. 

I left the room and got outside and looked left and right to see if I could still get a glimpse of her. But unfortunately, she was gone. 

I stood at the passage for a while, still recalling the whole thing. I smiled when I remembered her soft voice that had spoken to me: "Do you realise this is a restricted area ?"

I wish I could hear her speak again. 

I finally took the stairs and returned to the office and there I met my dad in already, talking with the manager. 

"Pim, where have you been? I've been looking for you" he said as I took a seat beside me.

"Sorry dad. I was just taking a look around" I replied and turned to the manager who was a short beautiful woman.

"Good morning ma" I greeted and checked the header on his desk for a name. It was Lady Aloha. 

"Good morning, dear. Your dad here has already told me everything about you. 

Just fill this form over here and you'll be assigned to your new duties" she said and slided the form to me on the table and I collected it and filled in my details. 

"I'm sure you have the building map on your phone already. But I'll be assigning someone to show you around later in the day.

Welcome to Q.B and Co" she concluded with a warm smile and brought out her hand for a handshake and I smiled and collected it. 

"Thank you ma" I replied and stood up with dad. 

"Thank you very much Mrs. Aloha, really appreciate the effort" dad told her and exchanged a handshake with her and we left the office afterwards. 

"Make sure you stay out of trouble, Pim. And a good work, okay?" he told me as we held hands and walked out of the passage. 

Then when we got to the balcony, I stopped and embraced him.

"Thank you dad, I'm not a kid okay don't worry about me too much. Thank you so much for this" I said happily and he patted my back. 

"Just make me proud okay?" He said softly and I nodded and unlocked from the hug. 

"Now hurry back so you won't be late for duty" he said and I smiled and waved at him and left.

I opened the map on my phone and followed the direction to the room.

It was very big and pretty and it's filled with other cleaner. 

Well, all the workers in the building were undoubtedly not my age. They dress clean and on good match wears So, there were no rooms for commoners even a poor man can't be a cleaner. 

Well, it's a good thing I had someone like Aloha to back me up. 

I nervously walked into the room as they all stared at me. 

I kept my gaze low and found an empty seat 

Thank goodness. 

wow! I can't believe I was coming to this place. After a short while, someone came in and they all settled down. 

"Good morning, Mr. Sam" few of them greeted as she walked up to the front. 

"Good morning, everyone" 

"Okay, okay. However it was" Mr. Sam replied.

"By the way, we're having a new cleaner in our midst today. 

Miss Pim, could you step out for a brief introduction, please?" She said, staring at me and I took in a deep breath and stood up. 

I sauntered and stood up and now I had the opportunity to take a proper look at them.

Wow! 

They all looked good and older than me. 

"Your name, miss" Mr. Sam said and I shook my head. 

"Uhn...I'm Pim" I replied a little shyly. 

"Okay. Pim. Welcome to Q.B Co. You can have your seat" she said to me and I smiled and sat back.

She commenced talking about rules and after that, everyone went to their various part.

Employees started walking out in pairs and I also stood up and thought of going to the canteen. 

Hm. It seems everyone here are just bumptious as none of them even cared to pay any attention to me.

I was about going out when a pretty lady came in and walked up to me.

"Hi. You must be Pim, right?" She asked and I nodded, Wondering who she was.

She was chewing a gum and looked classic. 

"Okay. I'm Sliver. And I've been assigned by Mr. Sam to show you around the building" she said and I flinched. 

Huh?

Such a classic girl showing me around the building? 

"Uhm...you don't have to worry about that miss." I tried speaking. 

"I can just make use of the..."

"Oh, please; don't in any way feel like I'm being stressed out or something. It's part of my duty and will only add to my pay when I'm done. So, it's for my own good" she cut in and I sighed and nodded.

"Come with me" she said lowly and started walking out of the room and I followed her behind. 

She looked and sounded strict, but normally, she was a jovial person. 

She took me to different place - bookstore and other interesting places.

"This is the Beaty hall." She told me when we entered the enormous hall. 

It was very big and had so many materials designed.

"Uhm...do Mayor May also come down for design?" I asked and she looked at me and smiled.

"Everybody always wants her to. But unfortunately, they only come down once in a blue pretty moon" she replied and I smiled and nodded.

Too bad.

"Why asking, is she your secret crush?" She asked as we left the hall. 

I blushed in a smile. 

"Every body loves May" I replied.

"Oh; that's true.

Why don't we grab lunch together?" She asked and I hesitated for a while. 

"Uh...okay. sure" I replied and she smiled and led me to the canteen.

The canteen was very big and pretty and was filled up with people. 

But it wasn't too crowded or noisy. 

Silver and I found a suitable seat and she left to order our meal and returned with a big tray. 

"What duties are you in?" She asked as I took my own plate of chicken noodle. 

"Oh; that was a nice but scary place" she replied and my eyes beamed.

What?

"But..."

"Yes she is not always easy with people" she cut in, knowing what I wanted to say. 

Oh-oh.

"Why?" I asked despondently.

"Well, that's she don't like mixing up with others, at least not all the time. 

May, is a strictly personal human she just don't take it easy with people after the what they call breakup she was a hard human to deal with".

Goodness!

Why did they appoint me to that duty, since she's here it means I will meet her in the office if I'm cleaning.

"It's amazing, right? Working in the same company May has" she asked and I smiled and nodded. 

"Uhm...Sliver" I called.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure. What is it?"

I cleared my throat a little. 

"Do you have any idea what happened between Mayor May and her ex?" I asked.
