Through The Shadow-Episode 13

   Bayley Burst open Louisa’s office door. 

“Ta–da!” She sprawled her hands in the hair grinning.

Louisa looked up and shook her head in pity.Naughty Bayley.

“I wonder if you even have Adrenaline?. Others would have jumped off their skin at the sudden rush of the door. But didn’t even flinch. I fear that one if these days you’ll automatically turn into a Robot” Bayley sneered.

“What do you want Bayley? Coming to my workplace uninvited? Don’t tell me you’ve rethinked my offer. 

I am sorry to tell you that there is no more vacancy” Louisa retorted bluntly staring at her.

“Ouch! But Nah… I never rethinked a thing” she chuckled.

“So what brought you here?” Louisa asked again. Scribbling some words into a book.

” You have no feeling Louisa. At least a seat would do. And …and some cigarettes. Or drink? 

I am your f*cking guest okay?” Bayley frowned.

” My bad” Louisa scoffed.

“Catch” she added throwing a pack if cigarettes to her and a lighter too.

“Thanks.”Bayley giggled

“So why are you here?” Louisa asked , dropping her pen.

“Good question. Why am I here?” Bayley paused, lighting her cigarette.

” I am inviting you to …

Just then, the door opened.

Holy Crap! Bayley gasped. 

Who the f*ck is this Hottie? She asked herself lustfully staring at seon as he walked over to Louisa’s desk.

“Excuse me Ma’am” he started.

“What do you want?” Louisa rolled her eyes🙄.

” These are the files of the goods shipped in. With their actual dates of production and expiration” he said. Handling the files over to Louisa.

“Who piled it up?” She asked.

” Me ma’am” he replied glancing at her.

  Louisa opened it and flipped through the pages.  Seon could see the hidden expression on her face. She’s at Least okay with what she is seeing.

Even if she doesn’t show any sign of appreciation. 🙄

“Well done. Mr Nichols” she blurted out. Returning it back to him.

“Good job. You can go now” Louisa excused him out of her office.

He nodded and left. Closing the door from behind.

“Quit gawking bay. You look ridiculous” Louisa spat out in disgust.

“Holy mother f*cking Bastard!!! Who is he? Who is this demigod?” Bayley gasped. Unable to control her excitement.

“A worker” she coldly replied.

” You must be kidding. Alot of times I’ve been here, why didn’t I see him?”

” He started here today. A transfer from New Jersey”

” Jeez. Louisa he is so hot” Bayley commented.

” I saw the way you were eyesfucking him” Louisa smirked.

“Gosh! Was it obvious?” 

“Obviously obvious Babe” Louisa replied.

“I am do gonna hit him on. I can’t resist such.”

” Good for you. So you’re inviting me for what?” 

“Yeah.  I am inviting you to my party on Sunday at my place” she announced. Taking a long drag.

“Parties😋. I love the sound of that. What’s the call for celebration?” 

“Uhm…you Know…it has really been a while now since I partied. I just wanted to catch along’ 

” What Time is this party of yours?”

“7pm”

“Seven? That’s rather early. Your parties last for hours bay!” Louisa frowned.

” Since when did you care if it’s late or not?”

“I now have a responsibility remember” Louisa cut in.

” Oh.. I forgot. By the way how is Ciara Cole?  You have been taking real good care of her. You do have a heart Louisa. That’s great”

  A sudden flash back to what transpired two nights ago. A tear slipped down her eyes the other night. What was happening to her? She isn’t her self anytime she’s with Ciara. Ciara is gradually having effect on her.

“Hey I know that look. What is wrong Louisa?”

“Nothing . Anyway thanks for the invitation. I’ll try to come.” Louisa assured.

“That’s good. And if you will excuse me, I’ve got another guest in mind” Bayley grinned as she got up from her seat.

Staring into Bayley’s trickish eyes, she knew what vahe was planning to do.

“Don’t do this Bay. Don’t you dare invite him!” Louisa tightened. Causing bayley to laugh hard.

“You really have an incredible grasp for the obvious” 

“I literally know when you are about to flirt” Louisa shuffled.

“Seems you know me too well

.. catch fun babe. See ya later” she blew Louisa a kiss and zoomed out of her office.

Louisa shook her head in frustration.

   Whimpers!!!

….. Not just whimpers,….Strangled whimpers.

Soft sobs followed. Heavy pants alongside.

“No ..no . Don’t take me back …no . “Frightful moans. 

It was Ciara. She was whispering while asleep.

It’s a Nightmare. Another Night mare.

The cool breeze that blew that night had no effect on her moist skin. She was all sweaty. Panting heavily as she swayed restlessly on her bed.

“Please…d.. don’t take me back! No!! No don’t… Don’t take me back THERE!!!” She screamed and woke up.

It’s barely midnight. Ciara felt her skin. She was sweating profusely.

She held her head with both hands. She’s having an ache. And it’s hurts so bad.

“Another Nightmare” she muttered under her breath.
