So this is another chapter,lets dive into Priss's life at work.

PRISS

How on earth did I lose it?
Yes,it must have been while I was packing my stuffs in accordance to relocating to Islandia. I'd been unable to write to Cliff for the past two weeks due to my relocation and mainly because I'd misplaced the letters, the only ones with me was while he had lived at Old Nichols and now that he stayed at only where God knows, I really can't remember his new address, does that mean we won't be getting in touch again?

Certainly,he would have written to me the umpteenth time but there was no one to receive the message so far granny,Tenola and I were in Islandia. Oh! how I'll so much miss him, miss his soothing words, his advice and our friendship. Without realising Tenola's entrance, my thoughts continued to wander about.

"Priss,are you okay?",Tenola's voice brought me back to life.
My eyes narrowed her stance from head to toe as if I hadn't seen her this morning or we hadn't come to work together but it could be because my brain hadn't really registered her words or simply because of my thoughts.

She was in a blue full-sleeved buttoned up shirt that fitted her so much that her small breasts seemed full,a white bustle skirt that presented her curvaceous shape and a white heel to match, apparently her shape was one of those things that attracted men to her but she wasn't careful in picking them, mostly coming out with the wrong choice, the pricks that'll end up hurting her,believing they loved her instead of her body, she was wearing the same perfume as mine,ZINA ROSY.

Swinging my gaze up to meet hers, I noticed she was in stud earrings, someone who rarely wear one unlike me who can't ever do without it, she'd packed her hair into snail bun fitting her perfectly.

"What's it?"，Tenola questioned drawing out a bikini chair, I'd always wondered why we had this kind of chair in the office，Tenola and I along with two other girls shared that office, they were Americans but never uttered a word to Tenola and I, all they did was mind thrir own business and seeing us as non-existent but we didn't care less. A blonde who was the editor and a brunette who was the web developer.

"Nothing",I replied looking away from her.
"You said so ooooo",emphasizing more on 'so'
I didn't have time to share things with her now, maybe later, afterall she was my gist partner.
"Well, there'll be a meeting after lunch".

Raising my head from the book on my table, I inquired,"Do you know what the meeting is all about?"
Tenola shook her head and responded,"Not at all"

CLIFF

Immediately after lunch, everyone trooped into the conference room as they all sat nervously as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
Why were they nervous?It wasn't as if anyone would be saying goodbye to their job, we only got a pitch from a potential client-a food and confectionaries company.

All ears listened to my speech as I explained the essence of the meeting, the new task in front of us by providing a brief to everyone.
The meeting ended in some minutes.
"I hope you know you'll be playing a big role in this project".

Priss turned back to look at me, with a smile so warm and fake that it's offending, she covered up quickly by saying "Yes,I'm aware of that, it's actually the job I get paid for".
She walked away hurriedly without even allowing me to utter any word, what an impolite lady!

Walking back into my office, I kept recalling the way Priss spoke to me, even with her impolite attitude, I still felt it attractive, the smile was also beautiful though it was offending. Why can't I get my mind off that weird girl, I could feel a connection between us and I really had to let it go. I couldn't take the risk of getting attached to someone again not after what Zuleha taught me.

PRISS

Gosh!, why did I walk away quickly? was I afraid of him or having one feelings towards him?
I really can't fathom it. I'd disliked him since when he bumped into me without apologising and I was not ready to make it the opposite not even with that attitude of his.

I hissed out loudly before Tenola's presence caught my attention.
"I really think you need to get rid of this stupid behaviour, hissing loudly like a breed of snake", she advised as she sat. The other girls gave me a deadly glare which I ignored before they walked out.

I nodded in affirmation and smiled at her.
"So do you mind sharing the reason behind that hiss?",she asked looking serious and I understood she wouldn't allow me to decline.

"Okay, I'm just angry at that Cliff, why does he have to talk to me?",
Tenola looked intently at me and I thought she was reading my mind. A second passed before she talked,"So what? are you really angry at him or otherwise?".

This girl is really stupid,I shouldn't have told her.
"What are you trying to insinuate？", I asked giving her a death glare but she brushed it off with a wave.
"You should see the way he was gawping at you throughout the meeting",Tenola smiled and I wondered if she'd gone nuts.

"Who?",I questioned stupidly. Tenola didn't allow a second to pass before shouting,"Cliff of course".
I eyed her and pouted.
"So is that why you want to block my eardrum?".

Tenola lips turned into an amused smile as I could notice the ectasy in her,"Priss, it seems that guy really likes you oo, you should..
.",I cut her off midsentence as I was getting irritated,"So you turned to me because of that?"，I snapped.

Tenola noticed the irritation and she decided to stop,"Okay,I turned to you because....", she continued as my mind drifted back to the meeting, I actually noticed Cliff gawking at me throughout the meeting but I didn't make eye contact with him. But why was he gawping at me?,different reasons raced in my mind.
"Priss!",Tenola called out beating the table, it wasn't until then I realised I hadn't listened all along. Gosh!another time to give reasons.

So do you think Priss and Cliff can ever get along?
