Hiding From My Mate

Liza was looking like she would pull her hair out any minute now. Maybe what Diana said is true. Someone important must be coming.

But who could it be to make her so anxious? Several of the newbies were running around the third floor doing their small tasks with panicked expressions on their faces.

I guess reading files is much easier than this. Someone zoomed past me and almost hit me in the process. There was panic in his eyes. He barely stopped to say sorry, and he was running again.

"Can you be any faster Fred; we are running out of time. He would be here any minute." a girl yelled at him.

"Someone get me a coffee." Liza yelled, a girl who was passing her was startled hearing it and was looking for a place to put the papers in her hands to get her coffee, I went to the girl and said that I would get her coffee. She looked relieved and went off with the papers.

There was a room in which I spotted coffee machines and went inside. There was no one inside, I was grateful for it. I suck at making small talk. There were cookies and cupcakes in small trays. They looked so appealing that I was unable to stay away from them. I went towards the desserts while the coffee was being prepared.

There was even a chocolate cupcake! I couldn't resist chocolate. I went to take it but then I stopped. What if I was not allowed to eat them and someone gets and at me? Then there was no one here, I don't think anyone will know. It looks so good chocolate dripping from it. My mouth started watering the more I stared at it.

"They are not for decoration. One can eat it." a voice sounded from behind me. I was startled, I turned to find a guy sitting in a chair watching me. How long has he been here? He was surprisingly handsome. There are no words to describe him. He looked like he had just stepped out of a painting.

I took a bite of the chocolate cupcake ignoring his handsome face; a sigh left me at its taste it was good. Sadly, there was only one cupcake. It was finished in a minute. I went and collected the cups that were on the shelf. Even though I was not looking at him I could sense his gaze on me. Even though he is handsome I should just stay away from him, or guys in general. And more so from someone who works here.

In the files, I have seen Nyx's case file. They are searching for her. Though they will never be able to find her. I should be careful so as to not get both of us into trouble.

"I am Felix." He said he was still there sitting and watching me. I want to ignore him but it would be rude. I don't want to come off as rude on my first day of work, who knows if I have to work with him, I don't want to make this more difficult than it should be.

I gave him a slight smile and poured the coffee into the cups.

"Do you need my help carrying them?" he asked,

"No thanks." I looked around for some sort of tray to carry them. But there was none here. He was watching me to see how I would carry them all. A small smile played on his face, thinking that I would ask him for help. Like I would ever do that. I am a witch. I don't need anyone's help.
