Fear~

"Anna, am I going to kindergarten again?"

A soft voice with her innocent question made Anna's lips curved upwards into a pure smile

"No, you're going to your new school!" picking Maria up in her hands Anna utter making her nose crunch

"New school?" raising her tiny eyebrows Maria asked

"Yes! new school" nodding with a smile on her face Anna utter

"Wow I've never been to school before!" being excited Maria said with a giggle

Sozo are you excited?" Anna asked putting her down

"Yessss"

Her little giggles with her tiny jumping, a bag pack hanging on her shoulders, seeing her happy Anna took a deep breath with a pure grin on her face, only the sound of giggles of a little girl can be heard.

Stepping inside the huge building what happened to be the place where she works, AAhe entered the open cabin where she sits usually but the seat where she sits was now filled with already someone else sitting there

Frowning her eyebrows she went to reception

"Excuse me!" Anna utter politely

"Yes!"

Shifting her eyes from the desktop of her computer to Anna the lady on reception replied

"I still work here right! but my seat where I usually sit is filled why?"

Anna tried to stay calm but the indignation was shown in her every word.

"Your name?" the lady asked as she didn't remember her name

"Anna Aif" Anna utter taking a deep breath as she tries to calm down.

"I don't know about it you can go ask our manager" Anna rolled her eyes on her words thinking *what's the matter of being a receptionist when you don't know anything.

Turning her feet, she made her way to the manager's office,

walking out of the elevator she turned to the left and stand right in front of the manager's office, knocking and knocking but no one opened the door making her eyes roll she again turned back, being desperate now going direct to the CEO's office,

Standing in front of a glass door, she closed her eyes and calmed herself down, not wanting any drama or anything, just wants to know what exactly happened to her job.

knock knock~

After knocking two times on the door Anna directly went inside. without any permission,

"Hello?"

Stepping inside she stands in the middle but saw no one but an empty room, seeing no one around Anna utter, hear nothing but silence in reply,

Her chest going up and down as her breathing was not stable anymore, the fear of losing her job which she got after ages, the anxiety starts to take its place,

Not wanting to fall from any blackouts, she took some slow unstable steps towards the couch which was a place near her

Sitting down with her closed eyes, her head hanging low, she puts her hands on her both sides giving her support, biting her lips as she tried to stop herself from crying,

Overthinking took its place once again in Anna's head, the thought of Maria, how would she give her a stable life, a happy life that she deserves, she already sees herself as a burden on her parents, and now she didn't want Maria to be also a burden on anyone,

thinking of far away, she wanted to stop herself from all this thinking but the situation around her didn't help her in any way, forgetting about her everything around her she just sat there still, only the sound of breathing was echoing in that big room.

as time passing her unstable state was now getting on its right condition.

"Yea fine I'll go!.. woh!.."

Stepping inside his cabin Zain who was talking to someone on his phone got startled at the sudden presence in his cabin, the phone was now on the ground as it fell when he suddenly flinched.

Frowning his eyebrows he wondered who's sitting in here without his permission stepping closer he looked at her, and he exactly know who is she from what she is wearing.

knowing the person makes him go deep in his thoughts that what is she even doing here, this last week she didn't came, the first two he tried to find or even see her for once but then he got to know that she was on leave for a week, and now she is sitting right in front of him on the couch of his cabin

Her head was still hanging low made him wonder if she's OK or not.

"Um miss Anna!?"

Calling her name he stepped one step closer

"I just want to know.....have you fired me?"

Opening her eyes as she looks at the black shiny floor of his cabin Anna utter with her calm yet clod voice

"And what if I did?"~
