I took a closer look into the mirror. Then suddenly the door opened.
"Ms.Song... " Cici called from behind.
Ian and Mr.James also came along.
"Ms.Song are you alright?" Ian asked.
"I am fine. What happened? why are you all worried." I asked.
"This door sometimes gets jammed. We were trying to open the door from the last 30 minutes. There was no response from your end too.So we were worried if you would be struck inside." Mr.James said.
"Past 30 minutes??" I was confused
"Yes, We tried to call you out. Mr. Johnson was trying to break the door and his hand is injured too."
"I didn't hear anything." I said with a blank face.
"Ian, Your hand is bleeding." I took out my scarf and tied it on his hand to stop the bleeding.
"Im fine Ms.Song." Ian said.
"I will get the emergency medical team.They will be here in 10 min let's move to the front area."
I took the dairy on the table and asked Cici to keep it for me.
As Ian was getting his wound dressed, I turned towards Mr. James
"Mr. James. what are we doing with these artifacts?"
"Since most of them look damaged, we are disposing it."
"Send the paintings in the main hall for restoration and the mirror in the room earlier to the mansion."
"Ms.Song...Why? Restoration will increase the cost of the project"
"I will take care of it." I replied.
"Ok. It will be sent by tomorrow to the mansion."Mr. James said
"Why not today?" Ian asked seriously.
"..that... Ok will send people right away and make the arrangements." Mr.James said.
"Also, arrange someone to drive back to the mansion. Ian is injured."
"Sure, Ms.Song"
As we started back to Song Mansion, I fell asleep. Suddenly memories of my world started to flash.....
I hoped to take a good rest over the weekend. I fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed.
Monday morning as soon as I entered the office,Mr.Clark was waiting for me.
"Ms.Song, You are on time.. I need you to sort these files before 12 noon."
"oh ok ...but..."
"Please help me. Before Mr. Johnson arrives we have to get this done."
"Ok..."
We finished the sorting in 2 hours.
"Thanks Ms.Song. I will be heading to a meeting."
"Mr.Clark, If you leave I will be alone in this office."
"Don't worry Ms.Song.You can relax until Mr. Johnson and I return. oh yeah, the design you submitted last time, Mr. Johnson wanted you to make few changes in it. It's on the table. Take a look and see if it has to be modified. "
"Ok...I will work on it . How much time will you take to finish your meeting?"
"We will be back by 4."
"Ok... "
I decided to work on my stuff until they return. I entered Mr.Johnson's office for the first time. The table had a couple of files. As I started to search the drafts, suddenly someone from behind shouted. It was Ms.Shirley
"It's you again.How dare you enter Ian's office in his absence? I suspect you are a traitor." she said.
"Ms.Shirley, please respect yourself. I am here for some files."
"Do you play these tricks daily in front of him too?"
With those words of her, I lost my temper.
"Ms.Shirley, let me remind you, this is an office where I work. Mr.Johnson is my boss and I have no interest in playing tricks to impress anyone. Second I work here, so it is valid for me to stay around. But why are you in Mr. Johnson's office when he isn't around?.
Third, I have work to do.If you have some work with Mr.Johnson please come later, but you are not allowed to enter his office at this moment."
"How dare you say that? I am Mr. Johnson's fiancee. I will get you fired in no time."
"Ok, please go ahead. But as of now please leave the office."
Shirley left in an anger. I just thought to myself if I would really be fired as she is my boss's fiancee. I took the needed documents to return to my seat. At the cabin entrance,I encountered Mr.Johnson.
"Mr.Johnson... why are you here?" I asked in shocked tone.
".... mmmm..Do I need your permission to enter my cabin? " Mr.Johnson said.
"No, I mean you have a meeting right now.. so.."
"Do I have to report my itinerary ?"
"No..No.. Ms.Shirley was here."
"I know. If I wanted to talk to her I would have spoke to her in the cabin."
"When did you come?" I asked wondering, if he heard the conversation.
"As soon as Shirley started to speak."
My heart stopped for a second. I am sure Mr.Johnson won't tolerate his fiancee being disrespected.
"I am sorry, Mr.Johnson."
Mr.Johnson went inside the cabin and left in 10 min.
"Ensure, no one enter my office again."
"Yes, Mr.Johnson."
