The light was trickling through my window and I was trying really hard to open my eyes.I couldn't as I was really tired.So I stretched myself from the bed and took my alarm clock to stop its freaking sound.
My work starts this coming week and I was really looking forward to it.
But I still had a lot of time for exploring and even relaxation afterwards.
I live in one of the richest part of Manhattan,......... NO way just wishful thinking I actually am staying at the Lower east side and its totally fine for me as the sole purpose of my new york visit is job and my place is more than enough.
The sunlight was peeking through the curtains and I was still hesitant to get up cause obviously I wasn't a morning person😒.And I kinda adore those who can wake up early in the morning.
After alot of struggles finally got up and went to our kitchen to fix a coffee for myself. As I was about to go back I finally made an encounter with my final roommate Samantha.Her emerald green orbs were observing and calculating me and the only thing I did was to look at her eyes and I could easily see that the green emeralds had hidden depths and I got this strange feeling from them.
She had long raven hair which reached her hips and it was shiny.
I was the first one to blink so I introduced myself but to my utter dismay she gave me a curt nod and retreaded to her room.
I guess she isn't a morning person just like me.
With this thought I trotted back to my room and checked out this official website for workers in my new company.
And I did notice that there was no details about the reigning CEO who joined a few months before my arrival here.
It was suspicious but no details were there.Why would the head of a press company hide his/her identity from the public?
Idk⁉️
Well one more unanswered question for me, lol😜.
Even the gender of the CEO wasn't given?
How suspicious🤔.
Well in all honestly I was really curious.
But I did know that there was this strange ritual in the CEO's family which was also unknown to the public.In short the family was very secretive.
There wasn't anymore info's so I decided to check on Catherine. After the particular incident yesterday I didn't heard from her and that was somehow bugging me.So I knocked on her door.
"Are you in there?" I called out
"Wait a minute Ally i'm coming". She shrieked back in her high pitched voice.
She abbreviated my name and I never gave her permission to do that.But for once I ignored it.
She opened the door and she looked better than yesterday.She quickly gave me a hug(guess she is a hugger) and I stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do and the only thing I did was pat her back.I know i'm a doofus but whatever.
She ushered me in and I looked around.The room suited her sunny personality. It had baby pink,yellow and a tint of sea blue.Then she pulled my hand to sit on the bed.
" okay I know i've got some explaining to do and i'm ready for it" she began.
I gestured her to continue.
She smiled and began,
"Okay the guys which u referred to as 'men in black' ",she paused adding air quotes, " are not really good people.
'And on top of that the guy is kinda really powerful and influential'
'Wow, then why did he visit our humble abode?' I questioned.
I kinda of knew that he was a person who was important because of the guys dressed in black who were always following him around.
And she continued,
"Also he is Sam's dear cousin and they are pretty close and the guy wanted to check on her".
Okay I wasn't expecting this but they had similarities in their physical appearence especially those beautiful emerald orbs which can tame any beast.
She finished and so I started apologizing for my stupid behavior and she waved it out saying it was fine.
Then with a strange expression which I couldn't properly decipher she added,
'omg I thought he was gonna do something to you. He was already mad and he is highly short tempered too and I thought your laughing was gonna add fuel to the flame'
"What is he gonna do to me" I snorted in disbelief.
" Well for starters he might've tortured you till you die" she said
'Really' now I was a bit taken aback but I quickly noticed Cat suppressing a laugh.
"You didn't " I warned and threw one of her pillow at her and we both laughed.
"I totally got u" she teased me.
We laughed some more and then we decided to go out.I quickly retreated to my room to take a shower.Then I put the first thing I got.
I quickly put my hair in a sock bun.My hair was a hybrid(lol).It had a particular colour which was brown with blond streaks here and there.Perks of having blond mom and brunette dad I guess.
Then I took my osprey daylight and stuffed it with my penbrook(its my all time companion which is a pen😜) and my notepad (call me old fashioned).
Then I put it over my sholder and went out.
Cat was wearing an ocean blue sundress which highlighted her blue shiny orbs.
"Ready" Cat asked to which I gave a thumbs up.
I quickly followed Cat to our parking lot and got inside the car.She drove and I started looking outside.The people were so busy.Some were jogging,others walking their dogs and some others in formal cloths rushing for work.
*****
At last we reached the mall and went to this place called "Forever 21" and surprisingly the prices were affordable for me.So I quickly chose my dress.
But Cat was a whole different story.as she was trying on and on different types of cloths and she wasn't satisfied with any.
Thats when I saw the " men in black" and their boss emerald(nick name for Sam's cousin) which was really unexpected.
They were moving to the malls parking lot and I unintentionally followed them.
But thats when I saw a metallic glint .
Time to put on my detective mode.I crouched behind a car and took my notepad and scribbled on it and then kept it back.I was really petrified when I saw the shining metal which was a gun.
But thank my stars I could control my gasp from going out.
The next thing I know was me creeping out of there as quickly as I could.I returned back and saw that Cat still looking around in the shop.I breathed a sigh of relief.
I couldn't really help Cat during shoping because my fashion sense was non- existent.
So I went back and sat on a chair at the shop and took my notepad to doodle the gun but after that I wrote at the bottom of the page.
Mission aborted.
Really I was scared bottom less.If I was caught I would've been dead by now.So I decided to stop this for the time being.
But fate had other plans for me as we all know curiosity killed the cat.
