"So see you at lunch?"

"Yeah sure, bye girls."
They both waved her goodbye and headed to the elevator, Ada turned and gave Kemi the I got my eyes on you sign. Kemi laughed.

While Nife and Ada worked on the 5th floor, her office was just down the hall from the conference room on the 1st floor.

Kemi worked in the public relations department while Nife was the secretary to the CEO. Ada on the other hand worked in communications and marketing, they were responsible for advertisement and launching of new products.

The trio worked for Crystal Ltd, a technological company that dealt with the manufacture of software programs. They occasionally dabbled into hardware repairs if need be and they were the best in the state.

Kemi turned and almost immediately collided with someone's hard chest. "Ow!" She touched her nose to restore it's factory setting, breathing. She couldn't breathe.

Kemi looked up ready to attack the person that seemed to be blind, dumb and deaf.

"Nnamdi," she said under her breath. God the man was so hard.

"Next time," he said while gently pushing her out of his way "watch where you're going." He left  without looking back.

"Well, that was plain rude," Kemi mumbled while adjusting her clothes. He smelt so good and that deep velvety voice that... "Snap out of it Kemi."

Her phone rang, it was her boss Mrs Adebayo. "Hello ma," she said increasing her steps.

"Hello your head, so you want to sleep there abi?" Christ, she hated the woman's voice, it was rough like someone grating carrots.

"No ma, I had to do something I'm on my..." she trailed off as her boss hissed loudly over the phone. Kemi thought that she sounded like a whistling kettle.

"Excuses excuses, something like what, gossiping with your naughty friends isn't it? Before I open my eyes I want to see you in front of me, lazy thing!" She hung up before Kemi could respond.

"Did she just call me lazy? I practically do all the work in that office and she has the guts to call me lazy," Kemi murmured as she approached her office.

"Do you always talk to yourself, pretty one?" a tall lean man commented as he leered at her. He was leaning by the wall near the door that led to her office.

Kemi hissed as she ignored him.

Emmanuel worked in the human resources department, he always followed her around the office occasionally sending her weird notes and stupid gifts that always ended up in the trash. And moreover he was kind of creepy, okay give him a break Kemi he's not that bad.

"Shouldn't you be settling quarrels or something?" Kemi glared at him with obvious derision.

"Well, I think it's sexy that you talk to yourself," he said and winked at her as she opened the door to her office.

Okay scratch that, he's very bad!

"You're so disgusting!" Kemi spat while closing the door behind her but not before she heard him chuckle.
