Erica stood in front of the office for some minutes. She couldn’t knock.
She used her small hand to bang the door softly.
“The door is open!” She heard his voice. Her heart started to beat really fast.
She grabbed the handle and twisted it, making her way into the office.
She walked to the table and placed the box on it.
She stared at Kelvin who was leaning on the transparent glass wall.
She could see the street and other companies from up there.
“What’s that?” He asked.
“Uh, it’s lunch from your brother” she said with a shaky voice. She held her hands together, with her gaze on the floor.
Kelvin noticed that she didn’t want to raise her head but why should he care.
“Fine. You can leave” he said.
Erica turned to leave the office.
“Wait…” He said.
She came to an abrupt stop when she heard his voice.
She turned and stared at him.
Kelvin walked to his table and started looking for a file.
“I need his signature on this file” he said and continued searching for it.
Erica stood for some seconds. She wished she could leave his office immediately.
As she glanced round the office, her eyes met with a file under his desk.
She didn’t know how to tell him.
“What if I tell him it’s under the table and he scolds me?” She murmured.
“I can’t find it, I’ll let you know when I find it. You can leave” he said.
She quickly exited the office and went back into Calvin’s office.
“Why did you take so long?” He asked.
“I’m sorry sir. He asked me to wait for some file but he didn’t find it” she replied.
Calvin nodded.
“Here, stamp these” he said, pushing some documents to her.
She grabbed them and took it away.

When it was time to leave the company, Erica took her bag and grabbed her new phone.
“Do you want me to drop you off?” He asked.
“No, thank you sir” she quickly replied.
“Fine then, be early on Monday. You have to arrive at my house before 8a.m. Then we’ll drive here together” he said.
“What?” She furrowed her eyebrows, wishing all she just heard was just an imagination.
“That’s the address. Don’t be late” he said and left.
Immediately he left the office, Erica frowned.
She also exited the office and saw Calvin and Kelvin walking into the elevator.
As Calvin was about to push the button, he signalled her to come in.
She went into the elevator and stood in between the ¢razy twin.
“How did you know the girl from the Cafe?” Calvin asked.
“I worked there and she’s my best friend” she replied.
“I see. Very funny how she thinks we are dating” he said and chuckled.
Erica lips curved into a smile.
She didn’t want to laugh where there was Kelvin
Kelvin suddenly cleared his throat.
“Sorry brother!” Calvin said.
Erica saw that Calvin was even scared of his brother.
The elevator finally ding and the door went open.
The twin walked out of the elevator at the same time.
“Woah!” She murmured.
“Hey sis, how was your first day at work?” He asked.
She brought out her phone and showed him.
“I got a phone on my first day. Isn’t that good?”
“No, it’s not. It’s wonderful! Wow, finally you have a phone” he cheered.
“Have you seen Olivia anywhere?” She asked.
“I think she has left already” he replied.
“Oh, let’s leave already. I’m tired”
Erica walked out of the company with George.
THE MAN IN MY DREAMS : CHAPTER 1 – 10
It was Saturday morning, Erica prepared breakfast for everyone.
Ava was around but Olivia said she couldn’t make it.
Ava was busy helping Erica with her new phone.
“Girl, your phone is the newest version. You are so lucky” she said.
“What does that mean?” Erica asked as she sets up the table.
“Ah! Never mind, you won’t understand anyway. I’ve helped you with everything already. Just go to the contact if you want to call and message app if you wanna send any message to anyone” she said.
“I see, I’ll learn on my own. Let’s have breakfast. Let me get my brother” she said and walked to his room.
Ava rolled her eyes.
“Annoying brat” she murmured.
.
Erica was in the bathroom when she heard her phone rang.
She went to the room and picked it up.
“Who is this?” She asked herself.
She remembered how Ava thought her how to answer a call.
She swiped the bouncy button to the right and placed the call on her ear.
“Hello”
“Hey Erica”
She heard her Calvin’s voice.
“Yes sir” she immediately changed her voice.
“Something just came up and it’s quite urgent” he said.
“I hope it’s not serious sir” she said.
“Oh no it’s not. Do you have an international passport?” He asked.
Erica started to wonder why he’s asking.
“Does he want to elope with me?” She murmured.
“Yes sir, I do have one” she replied.
“That’s nice. I’ll send my driver to your address.m to pick you up in an hour time. Get ready, we are going to Paris” he said.
Erica couldn’t believe her ears at first.
She thought she was dreaming.
“What?”
“It came in quickly. We need to attend my father’s 20th wedding” he said.
“Okay sir?” She replied in confusion and placed the phone back on the bed.
“Paris? What?” Erica squeaked and finished her bath.
She looked for her passport and started to arrange her bag. She didn’t know how long she would stay there but she just took few dresses.
.
Ava walked into her room and saw her packing up.
“Are you planning to run away?” She asked.
“Well, no I’m not. Something came up and I have to go Paris”
“Oh I see. Wait, what? Paris? You? Why? When?”
“Calm down Ava. My boss just called saying I’m following him to his father’s wedding” she said.
“I wish I was in your place baby, I’ll take pictures and upload them on instagram. Oh my goodness, you better take pictures, Erica”
Erica smiled.
“Sure I would”
They heard a car honking outside.
“That’s the car. I need to leave now”
Ava helped her retouch her hair and did a light make up on her face.
“Now you look good”
“Was that necessary?”
“You need to look sxy for your boss. Duh!” She said and chuckled.
Erica hugged her and left with her bag.
The driver helped her with her bag.
They both got into the car and zoomed off.
.
George came out from his room after hearing a car zooming off.
Ava stared at him and went back into the house.
“Where is my sister going?” He asked.
“Well something urgent came up so she had to go to Paris with her boss” she replied quickly.
“I see” he said and placed his hands on his wrist.
Ava continued staring at the television.
“You know I have a TV in my room, wanna check it out?” She asked.
“No!” Ava replied too soon.
“Okay? Want pizza?” He asked.
“No!” He replied.
“Okay then” he turned to leave.
“Don’t think I’ll ever forgive you George. I still hate you” Ava said without sparing him a glance.
George smirked and walked away.
“We’ll see about that Ava” he murmured.
