EPISODE 17
The drive from the mansion to Mark's enterprises was a short but silent one.
Victor didn’t say anything after learning that Jackson Mark is my boss.
Maybe Jackson has hurt his family too, but I guess he doesn’t want to talk about it. So I didn’t bother asking.
He parked his car in the parking lot, he step out and open my door for me. I step out and tells him a thank you.
“Are you coming inside with me?” I asked.
” No. I’ll wait for outside” he said with a frown.
” Oh, ok. I’ll be fast” I said and head inside the building.
I walk straight to the receptionist.
” Good afternoon” I greeted her.
She raise her head and flashes me a welcoming smile.
“Good afternoon. How may I be of service?” She asks.
” I’m Mirabel Johnson, and I’m here to drop Mr Jackson Mark’s lunch” I said.
“Ok, just wait a minute let me call him to confirm” she said.
” There will be no need for that. I can give it to you so that you can take it to him yourself, I have somewhere to be right now” I told her.
” I’m sorry ma’am, I can’t do that” she said.
” Pleaseeeee, help a sister” I said and give her my best puppy eyes.
She breaks into a smile.
“Alright”
“Thank you so much” I put the flask on her desk and turn to leave.
Suddenly, I hear a voice, well Jackson's voice to be precised, on the speaker.
“I want Mirabel Johnson in my office right now!” His voice boomed in the speaker and all the workers begin to look around, looking for Mirabel Johnson, I guess.
But how did he know I’m here? How can he see me?.
The receptionist taps my shoulder and I turn to her.
“Mr mark wants to see you, I advise you better go to his office now. You don’t want to get on his bad side” she said.
Well, you don’t need to tell me. I’ve experienced his bad temper first class.
“Where’s his office?” I asked her.
“59th floor. You can take the elevator or do you prefer the stairs?” She tease.
” I’m good with the elevator, thanks” I said..
I head to the elevator, I enter and press the 59th floor button. The elevator ride took forever, finally I arrived at the floor.
I step out of the elevator and met with a long passage, I follow it and arrived in front of a big oak door.
Jackson Mark! Boldly written on the frame.
His office is the only one in this floor. I knock on the door and hear a faint come in.
I open the door and step in. My mouth hung open at the sight, it’s marvelous. I look around in awe.
“Are you just gonna stand there or you are gonna come in?” I hear Jackson’s voice ask.
