"Zayn, it is Uncle" The man's voice came through the speaker and reached the little boy's ear. "Mm, I know" Zayn answered coldly. Without giving the man a chance to react, he questioned. "Why did you call?" "Ha!" A short chuckle rang across the speaker causing the little boy to frown slightly. The man on the other side laughed but, the boy did not thing he had said anything funny. However, he was only cold and did not bother about the man's unusual behaviour. "Zayn, Uncle called because he missed you kids, okay?" The man uttered. His words reached Zayn's ears but he gave no response in return. He simply waited patiently across the phone. His cool expression remained as it was. "When are you kids returning?" The man asked. There was a flicker of change in Zayn's cold facial feature, the little boy's lips pressed to form a thin line before he answered the man. "Zia already told you that we won't be returning, right?" He asked and the man only laughed. It was not so easy to deal wi
Allicia stood up from bed and immediately walked into the bathroom. It was her first day at her new workplace that morning, she did not want to be late. She did not know much about the place she was resuming but she knew that it was one of the listed and established companies in the country and even the company had a place in the international space. Allicia could tell that she was not going to just any place. She had gotten the work on recommendation by her boss at her previous workplace. Although her hard work paid out, she could not also ignore the fact that it was also sheer luck that she got recommended. There were people who were better than her and went to reputable institutions but she was picked out in the end. She would have even suspected that someone opened the backdoor on her before because she lacked most of the qualities that the job required. Whichever way, she was grateful for the job. Allicia had a quick bath before returning to the room. She picked out a black for
Allicia arrived in front of company, it was unsurprisingly situated in the business district of the country. Every well known company in the entire country had its headquarters in that area. One look at the solid structure before her eyes, Allicia could tell that the company was at the centre of other business in the country. It occupied the best space in the district. The forlorn construction attracted ones attention easily. Allicia paid her fare and stepped out of the car.A small smile lit up her face as she walked into the company. She stopped at the front desk and showed her identification. The lady at the front desk input her information into the system, after a while, she glanced at Allicia and opened her mouth. "Please, wait a moment" The front desk lady expressed politely. She picked up the telephone on the table and made a call. After dropping the call, the lady looked back at Allicia and spoke to her. "Please take the elevator to the third floor, someone will receive you
In an office at the top floor of the company, the office would have appeared to be cold and spaciously boring, if it were not for the ray of sunlight that poured into the office through the glass french window that showed the overview of the bustling city from a single glance. The furniture in the room was wood-paneled and exquisite, it has a deep artistic touch and rimmed with pure gold. A glass shelf at one corner of the room was cluttered with the detritus of awards and books.Behind a properly spaced desk made out of mahogany wood sat a man. He was dressed in a six piece black suit, his head was crowned with sleek fine black hair that was perfectly styled to fit his stoic demeanor. He slowly flipped through the document before him. The office was eeringly silent aside for the notice of the document he flipped. One glance at him and it would be noticed that the man lacked social instinct clues. Another man stood in front of the desk of the man, the young man with his black rimmed
The working hours quickly came to an end and before Allicia knew it, it was evening already. She looked at the looked through the glass demarcation of her office and saw the almost empty cubicles. The members of each group had left the office after the day work. Allicia looked at the work in front of her, as much as she would love to still keep working, she remembered her babies back at home and a faint smile lit up her face. She could no longer wait to see them again. She decided to pack up first and finish up what she was doing at home. She could not wait to see her cuties. She packed up her bag and carried the documents that she needed, she stepped out of the office with only a slight look of exhaustion on her face. She walked down the hallway and just as she turned into a corner, she saw an elevator closing. She quickened her pace and waved her hand indicating that the people in the elevator should hold up for her. But she noticed that no one stopped the elevator instead, the do
Allicia laid in her bed after she was treated a whole dinner by Ava, she felt bloated and a little bit too full. She reached out her hand and carried her laptop. She switched it one and looked into her emails. She quickly responded to a few mails that she received in the past two days. When she was done, she closed the laptop and put it aside. She then picked her phone and began surfing through the internet. She had few friends over the time that she was abroad and she replied to their messages. Most were just questions asking how she was, nothing that was really important there. Just when she was about to close her phone and fall asleep, she received a notification in her private message and she clicked it open. It was a message from someone named 'big boss'. "Are you awake?" The message rang and Allicia sat up instant. Her hands shook and her phone nearly fell off due to her abruptness. "Yes, hello" she politely replied. "Hm, you resumed work already?" The person messaged again
"The contract has been successfully signed, Leader!" One of the members of group A said with a smile. It was a bearded man who looked slightly older than the twenty-something-year-old Allicia. "You have done a great job, leader! Congratulations on your first success!" Another one echoed and Allicia blushed. She smiled and faced every member of the group. "I did nothing on my own, everyone played a great role that worked towards the success of the proposal" she uttered. The members of the group applauded her, she was not just smart but also humble, they could not help but genuinely find her pleasing to the eyes. While the group was jubilating for their success, a cold snort suddenly reached their ears."It seems that since group A got a new leader, they have become so free. While other groups are working hard on the proposal, you all are idling around" Allicia frowned and turned around only to see Marie standing by the entrance of her group with a disdainful scowl on her face. Seein
"Thank you," Allicia muttered to the taxi driver as she paid the fare. She turned around and walked into the mall. The Centre Mall was the largest in the entire city and it served both ordinary customers and others with premium membership in the city. The moment Allicia stepped into the mall, she knew that it lived up to its name as the biggest mall. Customers who came into the mall were well received by the workers. "Welcome to Centre Mall, Miss, how may I be of help to you?" A young lady walked up to her and asked with a pleasant smile. "Ah, thanks," Allicia said as she lifted her gaze to look at the lady. "Can you please bring me to the kid's section?" Allicia asked politely. "Of course, please come with me," the lady said and led the way to another section of the mall. After a few turns, they came to a section that only had kids' clothes, toys, and other things that related to children. "Is there any other thing that I can help you with?" The lady asked politely after they ha
