The two ladies stared at each other for quite a while, their brows farrowing the deeper that they stared.
"I know that this isn't my section, Aurora but I had to act. Did you expect me to allow a thug go around the place when you were being just too lazy to act?" She inquired with a deeper stare.
Lut could already see that Aurora's hands were clenched into a clean ball, trying as hard as she could to control the anger that was gradually rising up in her..
"I was busy with the report. Do you realize how professional your work is? What if he is a real customer? Do you know how furious the director would be?
You know that no one came in here without their access card. There are motion sensors all around and you know it. If he has anything on him, he is going to be caught immediately." She replied.
Lut could tell that even though she was trying her best to act as calm as she could, the anger was still rising up in the inside of her, making her want to blow up.
But the other lady called Tina wasn't one that was going to listen to her, even for a single moment as she eventually went further to say.
"He gained access to this place. Just take a good look at him. He is looking so plain that I highly doubt that he will be able to feed himself." She replied..
For a split second, there was a sudden pause. And there was no speech from Aurora, she only started. And when she eventually spoke, the words that proceeded from her were sounding more like whispers.
"So this is what this is about? The fact that he isn't looking his best makes you feel that you will be able to do anything that you want?" She glared.
She walked towards her until they could both feel each other's breath.
"You know that this is more than that. I have been in the same position with you for so long and it's high time for you to be under my feet." She replied.
There was a strange stare in her eyes for quite a while. She knew that talking to someone like Tina wasn't going to do her any good so she rather turned around in another direction towards the guards and muttered before he turned around back towards the stranger and said.
"You know that you cannot gain access to this place right? So why don't you present the card and end this already?" She inquired with a little tint of frustration in her voice as she spoke.
Lut could feel his anger gradually creeping through the outlines of his spine.
"I already told them that I am here with Director Edward." Was the reply that he gave.
And once again, everyone in the room burst out into laughter almost in an instant.
Director Edward was one of the co-founders of the place and thus, everyone there knew him even though the running of the place was placed in the hands of someone else.
"Just take a good look at yourself. Do you even believe the words that you just spoke?" One of the guards muttered.
"Do you even feel that you have the right to be standing before someone like Director Edward?" Another one of them said..
A small crowd of people were steadily walking in and stopped to watch what was eventually happening in the place as they continued to stare at him more like a mad man.
"I know a lot of people that tell lies but this is the worst I have ever seen."
"Director Edward stopped so low to even get to talk to someone like him. That's something that I can't even imagine in my longest lifetime." Another word stripped into his ears.
Lut frowned as he stared at the beautiful lady that was standing before him with her face filled with so much frustration as he went ahead to say.
"I am not lying? You can contact him if you feel that I am."
"It looks like you don't know how much a phone bill costs." Tina replied while the other was trying to keep her professionalism.
For split moments, she was trying to believe that the young man was telling the truth but that was until they said these words.
Now she didn't even realize what she was going to do at the moment. Her eyes shifted away from him as she still wanted to do more findings on it before turning around towards the guards once again and muttering out to them in a somewhat pleading tone.
"This is my section and I don't think that it's right to take someone away. I will do more investigation and if I found out that he is lying then we would take it up from there."
Their faces were filled with scorn and it was evident that Tina had done much more than just calling them over.
"We can't do that. The safety of the company is a top priority." They replied.
"You are trying to act like you are the professional here so that you would get the credit for something that I didn't myself.
But too bad, that is not going to work out for you today. Watch as I get you sacked from the place and send your scrolling back to the harsh realities of the street in search of a job." She laughed at her before turning around towards the guards and also said.
"What are you still waiting for guys? We have proof that he is either a thug or robber."
"And you. If you try to struggle, you are only going to make things much worse for yourself." She threatened.
His hands were cuffed and they were already ready to take him away, not even giving him the chance to say anything more.
They were about to walk off from the place when steps could already be heard forging ahead towards their direction.
The scent was powerful. One that forced everyone to turn in the direction of the sound.
Two men walked in their direction. They were finely dressed in almost identical suits produced by an exclusive brand in the city.
The manner of their steps was one that ascertained their social class and also the way that they carried themselves in
The two men where we'll know to everyone that were gathered there. Their head shaking in pity for the stranger that had been handcuffed.
With Mr. Edward and Frank, the director of the underwater hotel, they were sure that he was going straight right up to jail.
Meanwhile for Tina, she had a broad smile on her face. She could not believe that this was happening. The director and the co-owner were all there to witness her act of diligence.
She quickly fixed herself, making sure that she was proper to receive the two iconic men. As they walked, the people in their paths bowed.
And so did Tina..
"What's happening here?" Director Edward was the first person to speak and Tina quickly got up with a smile on her face.
"Director Edward. As a diligent worker and a committed worker too, I noticed some strange movement but unlike some of my colleagues that decided I turn a blind eye to the fact, I knew that I could never do such.
And so, I had to call the attention of the security to do their job. You don't have to worried me sir."
She was still smiling lost in the realms of her world that she didn't even notice when a slap rang Throughout the course of her face.
"Have you gone mad?" His face was flaming red with anger as he thundered at her.

Under the radar
“Oh, I understand you well, sir. But getting in touch with this transport company will do us a lot of favors.” She paused, looking around for heads nodding in agreement, and when she saw it, she continued speaking. “The consortium is a huge institution, and I know that at one point or the other, we're going to need multiple means of transportation. This is where they come in.” It was just a contribution, but Lut felt worried. Why was it looking as though she had sabotaged the meeting? He couldn't wait to end it. Claudia always succeeded in making him so nervous no matter how hard he tried to hide it. “That's a brilliant contribution, Claudia. I like that. Oh,” Lut added, smiling and raising his hands as though it was clasped in prayer. “Forgive me for not introducing her sooner. Everyone, this is Claudia, our new intern. She's working under Aurora for the moment, so you're going to be seeing a lot of her and hearing a lot of those b
Work force workshop
Because director Edward had given her the permission to be under Aurora, Claudia had followed her to the hall where executives had their meetings. Seeing her there made Lutenant uncomfortable, but he didn't show it. Instead, he tried to focus on the team members that Aurora had chosen. They were all good workers. Ranging from Mr Green, to Doctor Gregory, Alicia, Aurora herself, and Mr Bedford. Lutenant had worked with them previously on the Deja Vu project, and could attest to how hardworking and creative they were. He needed people like them by his side if he wanted the new company he had just purchased to move forward. “Thank you all for coming here. I'll try my best to be as brief as possible because in an hour or two, we'll be on our way to the outskirts where y'all will take your first tour around the company we have just bought.” He paused, looking at each and everyone of them. He knew Claudia's eyes w
Fractured bliss
“Well, Darren usually handles all this kind of stuff, you know. But come with me, if he sent you my way, then it's for a reason.”“Oh, I'd surely love to work with you, miss Aurora. I need your guidance and that helping hand.”Despite the fact that she was pleased to hear herself being described in that manner, she decided not to show it. She smiled shyly, and at that moment, the elevator stopped.“Here we are. I'm sure you know that I am Mr Lutenant's personal assistant, and that I handle most of his work for him, especially when he's busy. So for the moment, you're going to just watch me, and take notes.”She opened the door to the first office before Lutenant's own, which served as her office.It actually looked like a hallway or a passage before Lutenant's office,but she didn't mind. To Aurora, the size of an office or the extra space would never determine her output.She loved her job, and wanted nothing more than to prove that she could always be counted upon when needed.“Well,
A valuable asset
“Oh, it's fine. I wouldn't have done most of it without Aurora, by the way. You're her boss, right? I saw you guys dancing earlier on. She's a keeper, you know? Quite harsh and strict, but she knows what she wants. Ain't that right, boys?”Lut smiled, even though he was slightly tirritated. He knew it was a men's thing to talk about women, but wasn't he about to get married? Some things were best left unsaid.The two men, who were taller versions of Carl to him, grinned, and shook his hand.Just then, Natalie and Aurora approached the circle, smiling.“Our best guests are about to leave, babe.”“Oh, yes,” Carl said with a huge smile. “Lutenant here was just telling me.”“I owe you a gift, Natalie.” Lut said as the group made their way to the door to see him and Aurora off.“Oh, thank you. I'll be expecting it. Don't miss too much, Rora. I know you won't see food like mine in a long while, which means you can start coming down here to eat if you miss my cooking so much.”The group bur
A breath away
“Thank you everyone for coming once again. You've made something as common as a housewarming party a memorable one for me. I won't forget this, ever.”Aurora watched the entire mini speech with a special kind of warmth in her heart. She had never seen Natalie so happy.“One, two, three!”The crowd counted with the couple as the knife came down. There was scattered clapping, and then it was then readjusted into a beautiful round of applause.Grabbing a flute from an attendant who was walking by, Carl raised the flute.“Everyone, grab a glass please.”“Aurora? Can you help us make a toast?”Aurora had not seen that coming. Naturally shy, she raised an eyebrow and felt her skin burn under the gaze of the entirety of everyone who was in the room. However, she made her way to the front of the crowd, then raised her flute.“To a life of happiness, endless celebrations and every good thing in the world. To Natalie and Carl!”“To Natalie and Carl!”There were clinks as flute brushed flute. Sh
House warming bliss
The roar was deafening. Two pops followed, and in a minute, she was drenched with alcohol. Aurora smiled in satisfaction, enjoying the shock and surprise on her best friend's face.Carl slipped out of the crowd in a moment, holding a card that said boldly, “Welcome to our home, Natalie. I will always love you.”Natalie burst into tears on seeing the card, and immediately fell into his arms.The crowd burst into a series of cooing, and Aurora stole a flute of champagne from an attendant’s tray, chugging it down and satisfying her thirst.“When…when did you do all of this, Carl? How did you plan this?” She looked at the crowd and the decorations, her hand scratching the back of her neck in confusion.“I wouldn't have done it without the help of your best friend here, Aurora. She helped me. We did it together. You have a wonderful friend, babe. She's a keeper.”“You knew?” Natalie asked her, as she struggled to wipe the tears from her eyes.“Of course I did. Can you imagine Carl doing al
