I tapped my foot on the floor out of anticipation. I've been standing here for hours now and the head of Department here still hasn't said anything about me going home.
"Mrs Davis…" I called her, trailing off. I just wanted to remind her that I was still waiting for her, she had called me earlier and said she wanted me to help her with something.
"Michelle, I don't have a short brain record, I'm really aware of the fact that I asked you to wait behind. Just chill, it's not like you have anything reasonable to do other than being here." She said without taking her eyes off her phone.
"But Ma-" she cut me off with a glare.
I kept my lips sealed, rolling my disappointed balls out through the window. The sun had long gone down and we were practically the only ones in the office.
A loud sound from outside made me look up again, thunderous lightning came in through the windows, overshadowing the bright lights in the office room.
"Oops, is that rain?" Mrs Davis lifted up her head from her phone.
"Please ma'am, I promise to be here really early tomorrow morning for whatever you want me to do for you, I need to be home urgently." I pleaded again.
She waved her hand and before she could get the hand down, I was running through the door. I ran to where my bag was and ran out of the whole office building.
A gentle wind was still displaying its nature outside and I could only wish I got home before the downpour. I tried looking for a cab but it looked as if they were all running from the gathering clouds that hadn't even started.
After waiting for a minute without seeing a cab, I fished out my phone to see if I could get an Uber or something, only for me to see that my battery was long gone.
"Nice one universe!" I groaned.
Without wasting anymore time, I used my gift of movement home even though I know how far that is from here.
Soon enough, the rain started showering its hard grief on me. I couldn't see anything other than the blurry tears in my vision.
I wouldn't be in this situation if not for Mrs Davis, she's just outrightly cruel. I've been working there for a week now and it's been so hard since then, she made life a living hell for me.
Once again, thoughts of how uneven life is run into my head, tears mixed with the cold rain streamed down my face.
I've been the one cleaning Mr Vincent's office and it's the same. The room generates a cold winter whenever he gets in.
I try so hard to get to his office before him but he comes in once I start cleaning.
Funnily enough, this morning was even better. He acknowledged my presence by nodding his head instead of the silence I've gotten used to.
My left and right control were in operation till I felt like the journey was endless, I walked till my legs had started aching.
The dark streets were deserted and I could barely see anyone for the whole thirty minutes I've been walking.
A car honking broke my chain of thoughts, I paid no mind to it at first till another one came.
On looking back, I saw that it was a black porche, it was a really modern and neat one. I ignored it again, there's no way that car is honking for me.
The car honked again, I had to stop this time. The car stopped immediately I stopped.
I was thinking whoever is behind the wheels would come down but instead the windows were rolled down. It was so hard seeing the person inside because of how dark the interior of the car was.
The lights in the car suddenly flickered on, revealing the face of none other than Mr Vincent. He was seated behind the wheels.
"Get in." His thick voice that I was only hearing for the first time since I met him.
I thought I was dreaming, there's no way he's the one before me right now, and on that all his words to me were to come in.
"Get in." He said again.
Without thinking twice, my foot found its way to the car door and opened it.
The warm air in the car that wrapped around my body almost made me release the stress. After closing the door behind me again, I bit my fingers for coming in.
It's as though I suddenly just remembered that he's always gloomy.
"Thank you."I muttered as I got in.
He didn't say a word, only started the engine and joined the busy street again.
I couldn't move or say any other thing, I felt like I would soil the seats if I did. My clothes were water covered and I can't spoil the leather seats of the car.
I couldn't help but wonder if it was even possible for a car to be this comfortable.
The atmosphere wasn't something that was really good since we were both really quiet. I thought he wasn't going to say anything again till he cleared his throat.
"Where's your house?" He asked.
I told him and just like that, the whole car was once again silent.
"We're here." I heard him say.
I hadn't even noticed before because of how hard my teeth were gnashing together, the cold really dealt with me.
He stopped at the junction of my street just like I had told him, I'm always so cautious of telling people my house in particular.
"You stay on the street?" He asked just as my hand touched the doorknob.
I just noticed that I wasn't breathing well on hearing him ask that question.
"No, my house is just around the corner." I replied.
He nodded unrelaxed and I opened the door. The rain had almost stopped completely, it was just drizzling now.
The moment I got out of the car, I opened my mouth to express my gratitude but the next thing I heard was the zooming off within the twinkle of an eye.
