Alissa was being bored as always. She completed all her work but there was still plenty of time left to do anything else. She got an email from Eric to come to her cabin. She was hoping to get more work, at least it was better than sitting idle. She knocked and entered in his cabin. She gave him a small smile and stood in front of his table.
"Miss.Lawrance I just wanted to inform you that there is this one girl who is going to work under me. Her cabin is just near to yours. So just show her all the cubicles and her cabin. Tell her what she has to do. Okay?" He said and Alissa nodded her head.
"When will she arrive?" Alissa asked.
"I'll email you" Eric said and Alissa left the office.
She got in her cabin and thought what to do next. She plugged her earphones in her laptop and started listening music. After 20 minutes she got an email from Eric. She left her cabin and went to Eric's.
She entered in his cabin and saw a girl with long brown curly hair, her skin tone was wheatish, her eyes were big and black and her cheekbones were visible and they were perfect. She looked at Alissa and gave her a polite smile. Alissa returned the smile and walked towards her.
"Hi, My name is Eleanor Page" She introduced herself. Her voice was sweet and she said it in American accent.
"Hi, My name is Alissa Lawrence" Alissa said with confidence.
"Alissa, now you can show her, her cabin and all the other cubicles" Eric said and Alissa took Eleanor with her.
"So you are from America?" Alissa asked and Eleanor replied "I was in Australia then moved to America."
"You are Mr.Eric's PA right" Eleanor said and Alissa nodded.
"Okay so here is your cabin and...come inside...Here are your files and all" Alissa told her and then Alissa showed her all the other places.
"So do you have any boyfriend?" Eleanor asked.
Alissa fumbled a bit but said no. Eleanor was not a shy or scared girl. She was a spitfire. Because all she have told her till now proved that. She don't hesitate asking something.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Alissa asked.
"Nah...I had one..We broke up" She said it like it was no big deal.
"W-Why? Like if you don't mind me asking?" Alissa said with an awkward laugh at the end.
"Of course not. He always used to go to pubs and I started to feel like he is using me and I am just a toy for him. So, one night when he came home drunk...again. I started to yell at him and then I broke up with him" She said it casually.
"Oh!" Alissa exclaimed
"Umm...Okay then..I'll leave you so that you can complete your work. Have a nice day" Alissa said and walked off.
She entered in her cabin and sat on the chair. Thinking, how "Eleanor is so bold and on the other hand me who is not bold at all"
The day passed and Alissa got up from her chair ready to leave. She exited her cabin and went inside the elevator. She reached on the ground floor and exited the company. She sat in a bus and after few minutes she reached her home.
