Going Behind Her
Mandy
“What’s going on? Did you take a record of this? Were we on camera?” She pulled her hands away from his chest, angrily walking in the direction of the guy who held the camera, which was still pointed in her direction.
“Relax baby girl,” Maliah was quick enough to stop her halfway before she unleashed her anger. “Breathe and let me handle this okay,” she said calmly to her while using her hands to demonstrate the breathing process.
“Everybody get back to work,” she quickly instructed…
“Okay, I’m calmer. But you’ve got to make sure they don’t post that at all. See to it that it’s deleted,” I said, rushing my words, while she nodded her head rapidly almost as if she wasn’t going to adhere to what I’ve said so far.
“Maliah, are you playing games with me, you seem so anxious to put me away and continue with the marketing team. I’m talking about the awkwardness with Chris, and you of all people should understand why I’m being careful and discerning.
“I want to watch the video, can I?” Chris said, walking in front of me and heading over to the head of the department and the cameraman who stood in front of the desktop like he was editing the video.
“What is he doing?” I questioned myself, staring blankly at him and wondering what his intentions were. I looked over at Maliah, and behold she wasn’t in front of me anymore. She had walked alongside Chris, while they giggled at something on the screen. ” Should I be worried about Chris or my best friend? Cause what the heck is going on? Whose side is she on?” I questioned nobody but myself.
“I think it’s cute, I mean the way you all had no idea what was going on behind you until the camera moved in your direction. It looks natural and not staged like you had planned for it to be,” Chris commended, while Maliah patted his back agreeing with him, father calling him a genius.
“You all know I made the final decision here right,” I said in a stern tone, and they turned around abruptly, staring at me…
“You haven’t even watched the video yet, I promise you it’s good, and you both were merely visible,” Maliah explained with all smiles on her lips, while I glared hard at her, noticing the gulp from her throat.
“Nothing’s going to change my mind about it, either cut that scene off and release what we prepared as intended, or delete the whole damn thing and shoot a better video,” I said in authority, while everyone was silent.
“And you come along with me,” I pointed at Chris, barely looking at him, when I began to march out of the department, while his gentle steps followed me from behind.
“And what was that stunt you pulled out there,” I turned around pointing my finger at him, the moment we got to my office. He moved backward, raising his hands in surrender while looking at me. “What stunt? Cause I have no idea what you’re talking about boss,” he responded calmly, getting on my nerves even more as he dropped his hands down.
“You know what I’m talking about, but you’re having fun getting on my nerves right? You think you could just speak up whenever you like, huh?” I continued to take a step forward, raising my voice at him, glaring at him with anger, until his back hit the wall, and my finger landed on his chest.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
He smiled immediately, staring at me. “I do like my possessive woman, and Mandy right now you’re doing something to me,” he breathed out, and immediately I took my hands off and a step backward looking at him embarrassed while I turned my face away from him.
“Pervert,” I hissed and walked back to my seat, while he took his immediately while pushing his front hair backwards in a cute way and I hated the fact that I found it “cute”.
“I really want to know something, and please I want to get a sincere answer, don’t make this more nerve-wracking than it already is,” I breathed out, my voice calmer than usual, hoping that if I spoke this way he would reveal the reasons he’s here, and what may his intention be.
Chris…
I looked at her and wondered how one person could look so breathtaking and sexy at the same time. She had this innocent look on her face, but the other night told him otherwise. I knew that being here was a bad idea and she might hate me for it. But how do I explain this possessiveness I have towards her, how do I make her understand that I couldn’t get her out of my head since that night? It’s like she’s imprinted herself on me and there was nothing I could do about it.
“I’m all ears,” I said calmly while talking info and noticed all her beautiful features without her noticing…
“Why are you here? What do you want from me?” She asked her gaze fixed on me, mine on hers too, keeping my words like I had promised I was going to answer truthfully.
“You, you,” I said simply and she was confused.
“Pardon…”
“I’m here because of you, and I want you,” I said and smacked my lips, relaxing my back on the chair while watching her face go dry, and her mouth was full of words.
“What,” was all she said when my phone beeped, and I stood up and excused myself from her office immediately…
Malia
“I know I kind of promised Mandy that I’ll see to it that the video with Chris was deleted, but I didn’t exactly promise with my words, I just nodded my head and barely heard what she said, so that should be cut off for something right?
“Listen up everyone, I know Mandy might get mad at this, and I have no right doing this, but I’ve been with you all almost from the start. And everyone here would agree with me that posting that video is going to get us to the position we need, without us looking so desperate,” I said and everyone in the room nodded agreeing with me.
“So what do you say about posting it and not saying a word to her? If she should inquire, just let her know the job is done as she had requested,” I added and they smile, but a few seem to become unconvinced with that idea.
“And if she finds out,?” the head of the department asked. “Then we had better make sure it trends and brings more sales to the company,” I answered, a bit shaky, but I knew it was the right thing to do.
And I know Mandy is probably scared because she doesn’t want people knowing about herself and Chris, plus the baby issue, I thought with a sigh escaping my lips…
“Do it,” I instructed and immediately he clicked the post and I felt my heart racing quickly…
“I hope I don’t get into Mandy’s bad side for this,” I whisper to myself, leaving the department…
