EPISODE 40; VOICE SO SWEET
“Here is the door to the control room Lord Snipy” she whispered pointing at a door with the inscription ‘control studio’ on it.
“I’m not blind ok? I saw the stuff on the door so you can go now. Your work with me is over for now. I’ll send for you or come get you myself if I need you.”
“Ok Lord Snipy. Thanks” she retorted and turned to leave but suddenly stopped.
“Why did you stop? Anything the problem?” I asked her with curved brows.
“I’m sorry to ask this question Lord Snipy. Please don’t get mad” she mumbled and whirled. “Why do you want to go into the control room? Only staff members are allowed to go in there and I’ll be putting the company and myself at risk if anything happens to anything or anyone in there” she added without staring at me.
“Why are you asking me now that we already got here? What’s the need?”
“I forgot to ask Lord Snipy. If my manager gets to know that I brought someone even two kilometers close to the control room he will sack me and get me arrested. Please Lord Snipy. I don’t want anything to happen to me or my job.”
“Something might happen to you right now if you don’t leave now.”
“Please Lord Snipy understand my plight. If you go in there they will question you on how you got in and who gave you directions. They might not even ask the second question cause only staff knows where the control room is located so they will already calculate that a staff member brought you here.”
“Do I look like I give a fuck about whatever they think young lady? They can go ahead and think whatever they want. I don’t give a damn.”
“What about me Lord Snipy? Don’t you care about me too? Don’t you care about a little young girl who her whole family depends on? Who has to pay so many bills for her family and also for herself? Will you let me lose my only source of income?” She mumbled and a drop of tear slipped off her left eye.
“You can leave. I’ll be careful not to say anything that will make you get involved.”
“Please Lord Snipy. Lis…,”
“Do you want me to tell your manager about what happened earlier?” I interrupted her.
“No no Lord Snipy. Please don’t. Please” she babbled and her breathing intensified.
“Then get out!” I shrieked making her shiver and she started strolling out in tears.
She was just at the portico that will take her out when I felt her pain. “Stop!” She did immediately. “Come.”
“I should come?” She asked pointing at herself and her eyes widened.
“Yes, come. I need you” I replied and chuckled.
She stared around for a while before strolling to me. I guess she was trying to see if I was really referring to her. Her actions made me chuckle more.
“You called me Lord Snipy. Please anything you want me to do?”
“Yes, you said they will be pessimistic if I go in myself right?”
“Yes Lord Snipy. And once they trace it and get to know that I was the one behind it I’ll be sacked and arrested as I stated earlier.”
“What if you’re the only one they get to see, will you still be sacked and arrested?”
“Nope. I’m always allowed to go in anytime I want.”
“Good. I want you to go in there and get me a laptop. You have only two seconds cause I got not much time left.”
“A laptop? But what do you need that for?”
“No questions, please. Just go in there and get me a laptop. Now!”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ok, just a second” she mumbled, took out a green card that had the shape of an automated teller machine card, slotted it in the open space that was in the doorknob, inserted a code and the door opened. She stared back at me and smiled before walking in.
“Interesting” I breathed waiting for her to come out.
“Here’s the laptop” she whispered walking out of the room at exactly two seconds.
“Why didn’t you tell me that the door has opening processes?” I implored taking the laptop from her.
“Cause I wanted to show you that you were surely gonna need me and it would’ve cost you then seeing how urgent it will be for you to get into the control room. Well, it’s all ended now. You called me back. When will I get the laptop?”
“That’s a smart stunt you pulled out there. About the laptop, I’ll see you soon” I retorted taking another path without glancing back.
“We thought you weren’t coming back” Dagrin whispered sighting me.
“It wasn’t easy. I had to shatter the receptionist’s phone before getting her attention.”
“Wow, what happened!” Linda exclaimed peeking at me.
“Nothing serious. She ignored me because she was on the phone. She didn’t know it was me though but I’m not one to take shits as you all know so I grabbed the phone from her and flung it across the wall.”
“Action Lady” the Queen blurted and we chuckled.
“Here’s the laptop Dagrin. What’s next?”
“Declan please get the laptop so we can do the necessary connections.”
“Ok bro” Declan retorted and took the laptop from me. But not without winking at me.
Both of them placed the laptop on the bed, flipped it on, and inserted a code doing a few things I can’t say till a video came into view. More like a recording live video.
“It’s set, mistress. Now we all will direct Ariana on things to do” Declan explained.
“Ok, get me a glass of wine and cigar Jayden.”
“Here it is” he whispered and handed me the wine then inserted the lighted cigar in my lips.
“Come in Ariana. Can you hear me?” Dagrin muttered.
“Yes, I can hear you, darling. Your voice sounds so sweet” she retorted.
“Better concentrate on the mission before you” I asserted and her chuckling voice echoed.
