I Should Have Known You

SIX

It's already morning when I got home safe and sound. I should not waste my time, I need to go to work.

I rode a taxi to my office. Emily welcomed me.

“Welcome back Elisse!”

I hugged her, “Thank you.” I said.

“So, tell me?”

“Tell what?” I asked.

She raised her eyebrow.

“Okay, okay, later.”

She groaned.

“We have things to do. Let's go back to work.”

“Promise me.”

“Promise, later at break time.” I said.

I can't believe I'm back to my office, back to reality.

“Listen everyone! There will be a visitor coming today, its Mr. Win's business partner. I hope you guys do your job well. Thank you,” Tanner said, our department head and Emily's boyfriend, “And Ms. Tamara, Mr. Win needs your report.”

“What report?” I asked.

“I don't know. He replied.

What report is he talking about? I thought.

I knocked Mr. Winterpock's office.

“Come in.”

“Good morning Mr. Winterpock.”

“You too Ms. Tamara, have a sit.”

“Thank you Mr. Winterpock.” I said.

“Just Mr. Win.”

“Yes sir.”

“Where's your report?" he asked.

“Um, may I know what report is you're talking about?”

“Report on your vacation.”

“Oh! That, I'm so sorry I got delayed on my flight.”

He interrupted me.

“No, don't say sorry. What did you do?” He asked.

“I had refreshed my mind and I met new friends!”

“That's great! You're doing well.”

“Thank you Mr. Win.”

Someone knocked the door.

“Come in.” Mr. Winterpock said.

I should leave.

“Um, Mr. Win, I'm leaving.”

“Alright Ms. Tamara.”

I went to the door, I bumped my head.

“Aww.” I touched my forehead.

“I'm sorry, does it hurts?”

“No, I'm fine.” I said, looking at him, “Oh my God!”

“Wait a second, you work here?” He said.

“Um, yeah.”

“What an amazing coincidence!”

“Is there any problem Mr. M?” Mr. Winterpock said.

“No, nothing.” He replied.

I got out of Mr. Winterpock's office quick. What is he doing here? Is he following me? How did he knew Mr. Winterpock?
