Clara entered her car. She told the security man to open the door. The engine revved and the car zoomed off. She stopped thirty minutes later when she realized that she had gotten to her father's company.
'Man Auditors was the name of the company. The company was renowned. It was affiliated to other reputable companies in the city and beyond. The headquarters was a skyscraper building and that was the one she was about to enter.
As he entered, she heaved a sigh. She planned on taking the whole day to rest after she went for a commercial shoot the previous night. She would have kept the whole day the way she had planned and get Casey from school when it was 4:00p.m but their dad told her to bring an important file from home immediately.
She walked into the reception room. One of the receptionists offered to carry her bag well knowing that she was the CEO's daughter but she declined the offer.
"She's so humble". One of the receptionists said when she was out of earshot.
As soon as she was about to get to her dad's office, she bumped into a young man in suit that had some files with him. The files went in the air and the papers were scattered all around.
Still, he held on to her hand and gazed at her eyes. She also gazed into his eyes and then she paused a bit.
"Wait, what am I doing?" She thought to herself and snapped out of it.
"Let me go. Is this how you treat everyone here? I'm going to report your misdeeds to the CEO". She shrieked.
"Sorry ma. I'm so sorry". The guy had said. He bent down to pick the papers that had scattered around. She entered her father's office and dropped the document. It was an audit plan for the previous year.
"Thanks Clara". Mr. Calvin 'Manuel said.
"You are welcome dad. Besides, who is the guy that just came out of your office?" She asked, pointing to the door.
"He's the new managing director and why did you ask?"
"We bumped into each other. Don't worry about that." She said and stormed out of the office.
She checked her wrist-watch and saw that it was 4:00p.m. She was already late for her next destination. Casey would have been waiting. He wouldn't leave even if she didn't appear and it was already night. He trusted her to always fetch him from school whenever she was around.
She ran down the staircase. She almost fell down but a hand held her. She looked back and saw the guy again.
"Be careful. You could have hurt yourself".
"Thanks. I've got to go". Clara hurried downstairs. She got into her car and heaved repeatedly like someone who was about to have asthmatic seizure. She has been rushing because she did not want to disappoint her brother.
She revved the engine and zoomed off with high speed.
