"You better hurry and start work". Elizabeth opened the door and walked in. She came to pick something from her bag.

"I'm done already".

Dawn finally left what she was doing. she looked at Lily and kept quiet for some seconds before she spoke

"I'm busy you know" .

"Well I know. Ermm... you know I.... "

" Shh..". Dawn cut her short. " You better go back to your desk before that crazy boss of ours gets you here".

" He's not even the real boss".

" That's what you'll say".

"well, I'm serious. I heard that the real boss, the real CEO of the company will be here in a few days or weeks to come".

Dawn glanced at her " are you serious or you're just pulling my legs".

" Come on you know I don't smile when I'm serious". she replied as she stood up. "Well I better go back to my desk before the boss gets me here".

" The better for you". Dawn replied.
