" revenge? "
"I DON'T KNOW why she's here!" I blurt out, pacing back and forth in front of my two friends, Salem and Sofia.
Sofia tries to reach out for me in an attempt to calm me down. She places a hand on my forearm to stop me from pacing around any further.
Salem on the other hand just stares and takes a sip of her coffee. I can sense the anger in her gaze when Sofia pulls me onto her lap.
I can't help but chuckle softly at my best friend's reaction, giving her a sweet smile when Sofia starts to caress my back. Her small actions slowly start to ease my mind and I'm more than thankful, needing it especially in the middle of a day like this.
Ever since this morning, when I had walked into the building and was greeted by Marzanna's plastic face, things were going downhill.
The files I printed for Rainer were wrong. The printer also just happened to be broken, making me take longer than I should've. Zavana "accidentally" spilled coffee on my new top. And to top it all off, Marzanna was sitting at my desk, using my fucking computer.
Infuriated is an understatement for what I was feeling at that very moment. As always, I had to suck it up.
Though my mood was more than enlightened when Rainer offered that I sit with him instead.
Then he continued to secretly finger me under the table as Marzanna talked to him.
Fuck.
I smile to myself but then, my train of thoughts are cut off by the sight of a familiar face creeping up to the door of Rainer's office.
"Marzanna." I whisper, my eyes stuck on her as she looks around the room before turning the door handle and walking right in.
"What are you talking about, Ari?" Sofia scrunches her eyebrows, her gaze shifting between me and the closed door. I part my lips to speak though my mind is prowling with thoughts and questions.
"Marzanna.. She— She went into Rainer and I's office." I breathe out.
What the fuck?
Why would she go there?
She knows Rainer isn't around and I'm just hoping he comes back any second now before she leaves with a mystery file.
My breath gets caught in my throat and I start to fiddle with the skin of my fingertips. I should be moving to stop her but I can't, something holds me back.
"Stay here, I'll check it out." Salem says from behind me.
The last thing I could remember was her quickly moving towards the closed door, and then I..
────
My head hurts.
I open my eyes to see a familiar face with blonde hair towering over me. I smile lazily, reaching my hand out to touch their face and my hand grazes over masculine features.
