Chapter 2 The tall-figure

Blair got to the entrance of her house and mumbled to herself; here we go again.

Blair got inside and forced out a smile at her mom as she said; hi mom, there was some kind of situation, uhm so I couldn't get the drugs but I promise you that uhm tomorrow morning I'd go get it for you, is that cool?

Her mom stared at her like she had poop on her body as she thought of her response.

After a long moment of silence, her mom responded; okay, go inside and freshen up, you look really exhausted.

Blair was beyond surprised because usually, her mom would pop out with anger and give her the lecture of a lifetime, but since she didn't, Blair shrugged her shoulders as she made her way to the bathroom.

While showering, Blair kept thinking about the tall figure and how she made him seem like a fool for helping her.

Blair couldn't shake off the thought of the tall figure but kept trying to.

She found a distraction when her mom called her. Blair's mom asked her; Have you heard of the new company in town which is owned by a British man?

With a sharp response, Blair responded "No"

Her mom continued the conversation by saying; I think it's high time you apply for a proper job 'cuz I mean, you have a complete degree of marketing and don't forget your skill to be able to give a renowned, professional speech at any given time and your sublime ideas, so it's high time you apply for a professional job.

Blair responded; if I did go for application to that company, is there even a vacancy for a suitable job? Blair's mom responded; I heard there's a vacancy, the boss is looking for a personal assistant.

Blair, looking convinced enough said; okay mom, I'll go check it out tomorrow, she said reassuring her mother.

The night went by like a breeze and the morning came by quickly, Blair had her best dress on and held her files firmly.

She made her way to her mom's room and told her she's ready to leave.

Blair's mom responded; okay, child, good luck and do not forget to get my drugs on your way home. "Okay mum" Blair responded.

Blair found her to the company's location and couldn't help but wonder; where does such wealth come from?

Blair made her way to the reception. She met someone speaking to the receptionist so she sat down and waited patiently for the receptionist to be free. While waiting, Blair couldn't help but admire the vicinity she found herself.

She kept looking around when she saw someone passing by. She didn't quite catch the person's face but saw only his back and he looked so familiar.

Blair started wandering around her thoughts trying to remember where she had seen that behind before but she was quite certain that once she saw his face, she would remember.

The tall figure walked up to the receptionist and started speaking to her in this familiar calm British accent. Blair wondered, why does everything about this person seem really familiar?

Then suddenly the figure turned and their eyes met and she had a flashback and then remembered, it was the same guy she met on her way to the pharmacy and the same guy who she embarrassed herself right in his front, Blair began to quiver as she prayed that he doesn't recognize her but it was already too late 'cuz he already saw her.

The figure walked up to Blair and whispered to her; hey clumsy.

Blair secretly wished the ground would do her a favor by opening up and swallowing her whole, but it didn't and she had to face the reality.
