Unforgiven Sins

Cinyla’s POV

It was early in the morning when I realized that I have a lot of work to do, but I never complained I just thought that all my hard work would pay off. I’m just a simple employee here who encodes important details.

I still have the papers on my desk but that’s it! “Hey, Cinyla, Sir Ronie is calling you to his office, can you go now or later? I’ll have to go through the paperwork on the other side.” Amora nodded and left my room.

I just nodded as a signal that I need to go to the office of Sir Ronie. He is the head here while the owner, I don’t see him or her already because they say an owner is a busy person. Honestly, I haven’t seen it personally, I hope to see it next time. I just organized myself and put away my belongings.

I headed to the far end of his office. I don’t know why in the multitude of places Sir Ronie would like to be in the far end. I have no choice but to go there even if it’s boring.

“Why this elevator Sir Ronie is still under maintenance or can’t use it?” He just looked at me seriously. “Okay sir, I got it! Let us use the stairs!” Even though I was annoyed, I walked every stair, I was still mad and tried to calm myself. I wish the elevator would be fixed later. After all, I might just choose to live in his office because I don’t want this.

I’m not the complainant, because I don’t know why it needs to be broken now. Am I being punished? I almost cried at the thoughts I had. And as I walked, I just thought I was close so I wouldn’t get tired and bored forever.

And I finally arrived too!

I held onto my chest out of breath, and I could see its office as well. You won’t believe he’s the only one here but that’s the truth. He chose this because he was more comfortable moving and doing what he wanted. I knocked first before finally entering.

“Come in!” he speaks.

I went in and see him very busy with the papers he was carrying.

“Sir? What’s the matter, why did you call me?” I asked as I watched what he was doing.

It was almost a few seconds before he spoke.

“I know you are aware that our CEO is still on vacation but he reminds me that he needs someone to his assistant when he arrives.” He looked at it and stopped what he was doing.

“Oh, and you want me sir to be his assistant or rather secretary?”

“Exactly!” he said with a high voice.

“Also, I’m sorry you if walked because the constructor still fixing the elevator but later on you and our owner can use it, soon,” he added.

“Okay! So, you’re the one that I chose to be his assistant or secretary because I believe that you deserve that position. Besides, you will earn a high salary.” He added that he surprised me. I don’t know if I’m going to celebrate or what because of what he said.

Am I chosen? W-why?

“Don’t worry she will be here by next week. She will also introduce herself because I know in a few years that she has been silent now is the right time for her to come back and introduce herself.” It’s an explanation that gave me twitter. I wanted to ask but my tongue seemed to be cut off and it didn’t want to go any further. It’s better to keep quiet and just let what should happen.

“All right sir noted!” My only response was to agree so that sir would not have anything else to say.

“All right, you can go down and continue what you’re doing. Don’t worry because when the CEO is here, someone else will do your job. So please, show you’re best Cinyla, and always focus.” A serious reminder that makes me nod.

“Yes sir, you can count on it. Do you need anything else?”

“Nothing. You can go out early today and do what you have to do tomorrow. Be careful when you go down, let me not go down the stairs next week.” He laughed and continued what he was doing. I was wondering about the last thing he said but I didn’t ask because he said it himself. That was just right for me to rest early.

And even though I had to go through hardship again because there was no elevator, I just swallowed everything I wanted to say and took my path again. This is good exercise but I know it is better to do it in the morning not in the afternoon because you will be visited by drowsiness and tiredness.

Walk, walk and walk that I did until my last step to reach my office as well. I immediately sat up and took a deep breath. Finally, I am here! Seriously, this is a quick exercise if the elevator is still fixing. Ugh! I did it! I looked at my cellphone and saw his message.

See you at 5 PM sharp! I’ll wait for you in the parking area.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Received. 3:30 PM MONDAY

After I read that, I thought of going home at 4 PM because our manager Sir Ronie told me it was okay for me to go home early. Not because I was obedient but because his line was so favorable to me. I kicked and he replied.

Hey, Ben! at 4 PM I’m going home. Will you let me? See you. Thanks! Be careful driving.

Pm Sent. 3:33 PM MONDAY

And because I only have minutes left. I looked first at what I had left to do. That’s just a little bit because I’ve done more before I took a break and cleared my desk. For me, this is the most important cleaning your area; because it will represent who you are. Also, it is the power of love when you manage to be an organized person. Until my cellphone rang which meant I had received a message. I quickly picked it up and read it.

All right, I’m on my way. Just wait for me. Thanks!

RECEIVED. 3:37 PM MONDAY

I didn’t waste any more load to reply to him. Not because I don’t have to but because I think I’d better just wait for him. He probably won’t be there long and there’s a coffee shop attached to the parking area that I also want to pass first.

I left and logged out. Then I went to the S and J Coffee Shop.

Simple Black coffee is what I thought of buying and their best-selling ensaymada. It’s too much to sell to everyone who passes by here so I’ve already bought three.

I sat there first and drank my coffee but I was still waiting for bread, so maybe later I’ll eat it at home. I also meditated first while watching outside. It’s a beautiful day today because of the good weather. You also miss this way that you relax while sipping hot coffee.

My cellphone rang again but now it was a call from an unknown number. I wouldn’t have answered cases that might be important.

“Hello? Who is this?” I asked on the other line.

“This is BenChua, where are you? I’m already here. This is my number with a caller. I ran out of one of my numbers.” It’s a full voice response.

I almost fell asleep drinking coffee because it was just him and I even laughed at my thoughts. It turned out to be rich and the other sim card was loaded.

“I’m just at the S and J Coffee shop, I’ll just get my ensaymada and go out as well,” I respond quickly.

“I won’t pick you up there, wait for me.” he made a serious promise.

I was about to speak but he suddenly dropped the call. It’s different, it’s too gentlemanly to lower me. And because of what he said I still took the ensaymada I ordered and added two choco drinks.

I obey what he said and waited for him here. I’ve also been waiting for my extra order so it’s okay. He also won’t have a hard time finding me because there are only a few customers now. After all, it’s afternoon. There are as many people here in the morning and at night. So, it’s only right that I’m here now.

Moments later I saw a stout man enter and none other than him. He looked for me because of the look in his eyes so I waved, he also saw me so he came closer.

“Let’s go?” it cheers when it gets close to me.

“Yes, I’m going home too. Besides, the things I bought are also here. Do you want to buy something here?”

“None, I’ll just ask you.” he joked.

“None, huh? It’s up to you if there isn’t.” I asked him out of the coffee shop. And even though I couldn’t get his answer earlier I just let it go.

We were already in his car as we drove home when he asked, “I guess it’s your morning today? What’s up?”

“I was early because our Manager allowed me. That’s in my favor, where are you from?”

“Just hanging out somewhere.” He answered sparingly and tricked the road because we were also close to home.

“I’ll give you the drinks later and you’ll ensaymada here, huh? Just eat at home.”

“Nice! Sure! Thanks, for your gifts but I’m allergic to black coffee.” his response seemed to interest me.

I would have asked if he had stopped the car. We were here in front of the house.

“Thank you, BenChua!” I thanked him and immediately opened the door to go down. But he came out quickly and opened the door for me.

“Welcome! Later huh? I mean the ensaymada and choco drink.” he said sweetly.

“Y-Yeah!” I stammered in response and went inside first.

He parked the car first while I went straight upstairs, I didn’t see Mama now it might be resting because I got home early. I didn’t have a hard time because I had my key.

When I entered, I did not expect what I saw. There was a strange fragrance in the room and the red color spread from the rose.

What is this? Where was it come from?
