Working on Dream

"Quite Interesting", Anna mumbles while going through the profile. She gets pulled back to the reality by Director's words.

"Anna, you need to travel in another two days. We have made all the arrangements, make sure you carry your relevant stuff.

She nods and thanks her Director for the opportunity once again. She walks out of his cabin with Xian profile in hand to study it further in her free time. Although she was quite disappointed to not to find any photo in the file of Mr. Xian.

To end her curiosity she immediately starts searching for Mr. Xian profile on net, hoping to find any glance of him, but settles with disappointment again. "No photo, not a single one as well. How can one be so secretive?" Anna speaks to herself while arranging the other documents.

Five O'clock.

Anna was still stuck with her work, sitting in a corner with earphones plugged from her laptop. Her fingers were continuously typing the new assignment agenda and details which she had to send before leaving for Japan. She was so involved in her work that forgot about the promise which she made with Susan in the morning.

Suddenly she felt vibration from her desk and realized few seconds later that it's her phone.

"But where is my phone", Anna started searching for her phone in her bag and then in the drawer. Her complete desk was a mess. All the files and papers gets shattered all over the desk. She hurriedly started looking up for her phone by piling up all the files and papers at a side. It took her whole five minutes to get a glimpse of her phone back. "Ahh...here you are..." Anna smiled grabbing her phone.

Before she could even check the miss calls, the phone rang again.

Anna picks it up without checking the caller details.

"Annaaa...do you have a death wish, you were suppose to meeting me at five o'clock. I am already at your building entrance and you are not yet here. You are not receiving your phone." Susan kept screaming at Anna without a break.

"I am sorry Su, will be down in a minute", Anna hangs up the call without giving Susan another second to speak.

Anna could make out with her voice that she will be fuming hot now and have to go down in another minute to avoid getting her office burnt down by Susan anger. She gathers all the relevant documents in her bag, grabs her laptop and rush to the elevator.

Anna could see Susan standing outside her car and checking her watch to count the minutes Anna was late. Anna slowly walks from the other side of the exit and settle herself inside the car without making sound.

"Lady, are you going to stand there for a longer time or gonna drive", Anna mocks Susan while adjusting her seat belt.

Susan gets into the car and knocks on Anna's head with her finger for been late.

"I am going to spare you today as we are going for my birthday shopping. You dare to repeat it again." Susan starts the car while still talking with Anna.

"Su, I have news for you, but promise me you will not scream at me", Anna places her words while adjusting her makeup.
