"You serious?" Bright held her by the shoulders pushing his way to be in front of her as he asked his question almost looking eye ball to eye ball but he only managed to get a less than a second long flick of her eyes stare at his as all her attention was placed on myself who hadn't yet turned around
They were looking at me from the side as we both stood on the same pavement so unless I turned in their direction they would forever be left unseen to me and where they stood was in the opposite direction which Tony had driven through so the chances of turning in their direction was even less
"Yes" she responded
From her halt it looked to be like she knew me or at least about me because she had been standing still for far longer than what was expected of a stranger. Maybe we've both met before somepla
The sudden mention of my name right on the street was a little surprising and filled with intrigue that I took a quick pause which threw me and my balance off a bit as I wasn't expecting that"Yes?" I turned to lock eyes with two strangers which I had never seen before but was quick to accept the fact that they might know me even though I didn't them then I took a second to look and observe the both of them from their clothes, expressions, body language and then to the phone clenched in the hand of the man behind who tried to hide it from view the way he kept his arm with the front of his hand unnaturally turned forwardWith all that happening, in my mind I also took the account of reporters and camera people stationed outside my place of work whose dressing was somewhat of a reflection of theirs and also the guy dressed like another of the camera men sta
"How're you feeling? Hope they didn't shake you up too much" Said King on his way back to his station behind the counter which was in the same room we both were but close to the middle of it"No, I'm alright... thanks for that by the way but I could have handled it myself" I said while dabbing my clothes and straightening it up a bit"Sure you can" He smiled"I'm being serious" I said taking a look at my clothes and what they had done to it in their frantic questioning and clustering and even after dabbing it the residual influence of their ambush still lingered"Good and I believe you but all the same sorry I didn't notice your coming sooner, I would have gone out earlier and made them to stay away from you if I did... Damn reporter
Going back to less than twenty four hours ago just after Praise .Moon. Charlie was introduced to the rest of the office by the official and everyone had given her their words of congratulations and encouragement as best as they could have and however unanimous the encouraging words from the rest of her co-workers were one stood out profoundlyIt was the words from the most notoriously known and avoided male employee with very pink pigmented skin, thinning hair and droopy nose sleazy looking worker who always wore a bow tie to work instead of the expected long knotted neck tieHis exact words were "I know you are going to make everyone here to have a good time, me especially... If you want we can have a great time together" to Praise who could only respond with an awkward short laugh before walking away from him and to her cubicle *Tsk*"That guy... always feeling so special with everyone calling him Mr. genius this and Mr. genius that... I'll show him... He thinks he can come between the two of us doesn't he, well he will have to think again as I won't be taking this while lying down this time" he monologued in an empty passage with nothing but hateful remarks before walking out the way as well and signing out but by which time I had already gotten into a taxi and leftPraise on the other hand had just crossed the street and was getting into a taxi when he walked out and watched her do it just when the rain started falling and was beginning to get him drenched but he was too occupied staring at her taxi leave to feel concerned about his damp clothesFrom inside the building and in the registry behind the counter King wouldI AM BEYOND HUMAN BEER PARLOR
[Who in the world is that person at the far background that's also blurred in the picture? I swear seeing that out of nowhere gave me the creeps][I can't believe I missed that... Who the hell is that?]The comments being made underneath the picture a certain new GHA Log Outpost female worker with long black curly hair had sent to her social media page in her room while she was busy hosting a podcast with her headphones on and the desk microphone very close to her face"...I'll have to admit it, today, was, the best day of my life but enough of me talking about myself even if that's what you guys want to hear... Why don't I take a few questions from you guys and for that I will be opening the line so that you can send you voices in just like always" Said the long curly hair lady named Praise
Meanwhile, somewhere else in the same district and after a dozen glasses of the same heavy alcoholic beverage the sleazy droopy nosed worker tried to keep his balance on the chair he was seating on while still ordering more while the attendant held on to his payment card to continue making deductions and all he had to do was approve themIn places like bars and eateries and the very crowded places with food and drinks where a person was likely to get drunk the owner would have to approve the payment by pressing his finger on a scanner so as not to get scammed by the cashier inputting more than the expected amount but for taxi and public transport the likeliness of someone being tricked there was lesserThe vehicle automatically calculates the distance traveled when the driver starts clocking after the passenger has gotten in and makes the deduction when the car
Both the sleazy droopy nosed worker and the mystery lady with ocean blue eyes would go on to talk about themselves and their work for a stretch of about the next thirty minutes during which time the man had asked her for her name and occupation and all she gave in return was the work she did without saying a single thing about her name while the man on the other hand had given up every single thing of importance about himself during the time they spoke from his name to his occupation to what he learned in school to where he lived and his financial and family status without a second thoughtThis could also be attributed to the fact that he was drunk so he had no sensors but the way the mystery lady with ocean blue eyes worked him there was no doubt that she would have gotten close to all those same information from him even if he hadn't tasted a drop of alcohol"So yo
Earlier in the morning of the same day just two hours after Praise .Moon. Charlie was introduced to the rest of the workforce of the GHA Log Outpost and somewhere else but in the same district, district V and in the building of the Bulls Horn Report News a young and enthusiastic reporter stood in the editor in chief's offce after handing him the draft of her assigned topic*Bam*The editor in chief slammed the written draft on his desk after reading for only thirty seconds to give the reporter a scoldering look to denote his disappointment and anger"What is this rubbish?" he said gesturing at the write up*Clears throat* *Gulp*"What do you mean sir?" the young reporter repl
