CHAPTER 29

The food finally came and they ate their food as fast as they could since Gina was supposed to return early. After lunch he took her back to her office.
He stopped his car and told her to wait.
“Come on, I need to head in before she go gaga on me. She is under a lot of pressure nowadays.”
“I just want to look at you more and give you what I brought.”
“What did you bring this time?”
“A small gift, so accept it.”
“If it’s yours I will never say no,” Gina said excitedly.
Eric smiled at her words and kissed her on the forehead before taking out the bags from the back seat. He gave her the bags.
“I don’t want you to be late so open them when you go inside,” he said.
“Okay, I will. See you later,” she said and got out of the car.
He watched as his girlfriend walked towards the building entrance and another familiar face approaching her. There were so many people who worked there and most of them were always suspicious. He drove away and returned back to his office.
It was going to be a long day and he needed to finish fast before meeting up with Gina again.

Gina was pretty shocked when she opened the bags Eric had given her earlier. He had bought her the whole deal and she loved it. Being spoiled like this was so much better. She was used to seeing her boss spoiling all those many girlfriends but being given the same attention was new and exciting.
She put her bags away and concentrated on her work. Something fishy had been going on and she had a feeling that Haven was keeping a lot from her but she has a reason so she was going to trust her on that.
If she gets to live after the coming weekend then she was going to have a hard talk with her boss no matter how scary and intimidating she was.
She heard Gina calling her and she went to her office immediately. She found Gina looking very mad and agitated.
“Did something happen?” she asked.
“Yes it did. While you were outside having fun with your boyfriend, I remained here only to see that there was no coffee for me. I’m hungry and there is nothing to eat. What should I eat?” Haven asked.
To be honest her boss was becoming very troublesome. She was eating too much and if she wasn’t a homosexual person she would think that she was pregnant. She left food for her and yet the food was all gone. Why would she be hungry when she ate all that?
“I hope I won’t be answering you that question but I need you to find whoever culprit stole my food. Find me something to eat before this venom kills me,” Haven said and Gina left the office quickly.
Gina went to the fridge and was shocked by what she saw. Someone had taken the food, who had guts to take the food? She called the security and they came immediately.
“I don’t care how you do it but someone took the Viper’s food and she is out of her mind. Whoever the person was just find him or her,” she instructed.
“We will do that ma’am,” they said and left.
The fridge was always full with all kinds of food but a certain type of food was missing and it also happens to be what Haven wanted to eat. Of all things to take, why did they take her fruits?
She couldn’t help it but laugh and ran out. She took a taxi to the nearest café where she bought a large sized pizza and juice. She returned back to the office as soon as she could and found Haven shouting at someone on the phone.
Gina went inside, placed the food on her table and stood there listening as the other person got insulted.
Haven threw the phone on the floor before coming over to her food. Whenever something like this happen, she always avoided to ask. She hated it when she got asked about it.
“You may leave,” Haven said digging into her food.
Gina didn’t need to be told twice. She left the office and went back to her desk and began to do her duties. Whoever that person was, she really felt sorry for her or him.
Luckily for her she was used to it so she began to do what she does best while waiting for work end; working. She couldn’t wait to leave work and spend the night in her lover’s arms.
Sam was proud of himself as he watched his followers gathering for their last meeting. Over the years he had managed to rope in as many as he could and among the Oracle only three were not present. They were very hard to persuade.
“Thank you all for coming tonight. We are left with just a few nights before the d day arrives. I hope you are all ready for the day where your dream and my dream will come true.
For so long we have been ruled and governed by this ancient tradition but it’s time for change. Why should we let the gods choose our leader; when we can choose one ourselves?”
“Yes. It’s not fair!” some shouted.
Sam smiled and continued his speech.
“She has no idea what is in store for her. What could a kid possibly do? Remember to come prepared and thank you for coming,” he addressed the crowd.
