1911 Words
"Get your things and let's go". Cloe ordered as her bossy side reincarnated again.
"I can't work with you if you keep on behaving bossy towards me". Anna said, rolling her eyes.
"I will try to be less bossy from now on, and try to behave more like you..... ". Cloe said with a low voice sounding like Anna.
"That isn't the way I sound, and I will be right back, let me get my things". Anna said before running out of the office.

"I don't want you to look at me like a bad person who is always assuming bad things, but did the manager do something to you this time around". Moses asked.
"I do think why you always think bad about everyone, but anyway see you tomorrow". Anna said as she grabbed her ID card and her purse.
"It's not yet closing time". Moses reminded Anna.
"And I have a wristwatch to confirm that". Anna said pointing at the silver wristwatch that Alex kept for her in the bathroom.
"I don't want you to...... sorry see you tomorrow then". Moses forces himself to say while smiling because Anna had given him a deadly stare when he was about to complete his statement.
Anna can see clearly that everyone in this company sees Alex and Cloe as a monster, but in her eyes, they are just friendly monsters, who the whole world fears.
"See you tomorrow!". Anna said while patting Moses back earning a chuckle from him.

"So are you ready?, because I don't know much of this stuff, but I know those that are experts, so we need to get them". Anna said smiling.
"Who are those?'' Cloe asked with a confused look because she's aware that, Anna is someone who doesn't have a friend.
"My friends, they're staying with Alex Mom". Anna answered.
"Hmm.... when did they start staying at Mrs. Joy's house". Cloe asked.
"I can't remember when, but we have been staying there for some time now". Anna answered.
"WAIT! Do you mean all of you are staying at Mrs. Joy's place?".
"It sounds somehow when you call her Mrs. Joy". Anna said while putting on her shoes properly because she had felt something biting her on her feet, so she decided to remove her shoes and check if there was something there, but she found nothing.
"What do you want me to call her?". she asked rasing a brow.
"Hahaha! this is hilarious, you don't even know that calling her Mom sounds better".
"Calling her Mrs. Joy still sounds nice". Cloe argues.
"Woah! why is it that those who behaves bossy always argues".
"I'm not arguing with you". Cloe defended herself while rolling her eyes.
"But this sounds like arguing right?". Anna said laughing.
"There's nothing funny so you better stop laughing or else......".
"Or else you are going to fire me right 'Hahaha'. please give yourself a break! like don't you even smile at all 'hahaha'. Please you need to stop threatening me". Anna said, laughing hard.
Cloe doesn't know what's funny, but it surprises Cloe to see Anna laugh hard when there's nothing funny in particular.
"Alright, can you please quit laughing and let's go and grab your friends because I still need to buy some clothes at the mall".
"You don't need to buy new clothes, but if you want to, then it's fine by me". Anna replied as she giggled imagining how Emma, Lisa, Cloe, and her are going to have fun.
Cloe gave Anna her bag, files, and a few books that she would like to take home. She kept on putting things on Anna's body not minding that Anna is a human.
"When you are done pilling these loads on my body, please be ready to assist me in carrying them".
"I'm your boss.....!! sorry I will help you in carrying them". Cloe said while removing what she had stored on Anna's body.
"Thanks, and because you're my boss, doesn't mean you can boss me".
"I know that!". Cloe responded.
Cloe and Anna left the office and all the staff who saw her immediately ran to their office, while those who didn't have any opportunity of running pretended to be busy with the files on their hand.
"It's bad when you are seen as a monster by others, so I think you should try maintaining a good relationship with your workers". Anna whispered to Cloe's ear.
"Don't you think that when you play with your workers, they will end up not respecting you".
"I know that!, but it only depends on the type of play. I don't want you to play with your workers, I just want you to be friendly towards them, like trying to ask them how they're fairing, and some other little things". Anna said, sounding like a teacher who is giving a lecture to her student.
"Thanks! I will try my best". Cloe said before they finally stepped out of the company.
Since Anna wasn't with her car, she became grateful that she found a free ride home because the boss lady Cloe had offered her a free ride.
Cloe drove her car to Mrs. Joy Mansion in full speed.
Emma, Lisa, and Riana were talking to each other in the living room and Immediately they saw Anna, they all got up from their seats and ran to hug Anna leaving Cloe aside.
"So how was your first day of work?". Riana asked, smiling in anticipation of hearing what occurred at work today.
"Okay! I was very nervous when I went to work, but Alex gave me courage with some amazing motivational words, and you couldn't believe what happened when I went to work".
"Just spill it out, I will believe whatever you say". Lisa said smiling.
"I hadn't yet settled down in my office when our manager came in. You need to see how all the workers started running towards their office because they said the manager is a wicked person".
"So did she catch you standing or did you run inside your office without her knowing?". Emma was the one to ask this time.
"No! she didn't even notice me, but as soon as I settled down in my office, and was pressing my computer, I heard her calling for me".
"Please don't tell me that your manager fired you because I will go to that company and teach her a lesson of her life". Emma threatened.
"Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!". Cloe made her presence noticeable.
"Are you thirsty or did something get stuck in your throat?". Lisa asked with a caring voice.
"No I'm cool, I just think making my presence noticeable would be nice". She replied while rolling her eyes.
"So..... Anna, did you know her, and what did she need from you". Emma asked.
"Ohh!, crazy story but you won't believe that she's the manager of my company". Anna said with a mockery voice.
"I'm not going to believe that, because just look at her, is she your friend, or what is she even doing here".
"Can all of you just quit the drama and help me out, because I won't tolerate childish behavior from you girls". Cloe said, sounding more like a boss devil.
"Hahaha! Who the f**k is she…..., and excuse me but seriously. why are you behaving bossy". Riana said laughing as she placed her right hand on her mouth, while her left hand at her stomach.
Lisa, Emma, and Anna also join Riana as she laughs at Cloe.
"I told you girls that my boss is being seen as a monster, and here she is, showing you what she looks like".
"Do you have any friends at all, like do you even socialize with people". Riana asked because she can tell that Cloe is a bossy person by the way she is behaving, and by the way she carries herself up. It's super clear on the type of person Cloe is.
"I don't have friends because I'm always busy with work, and I don't want anyone to disturb me, because that's what friends do".
"I can agree with you on that, but the truth is told, friends don't always disturb each other but support each other through thick and thin.
"Thanks! so can we please be going already, because I love preparing things ahead to prevent disaster". Cloe said while dropping her handbag at the sitting room chair.
"Why would you even address the preparation of the date as a disaster? It will only turn to a disaster if only you think it would. Sometimes you just need to think positively".
"Sure! I get all the advice". Cloe said, sounding impatient.
"Please who's free, Cloe and I are going to a boutique to get something nice so who feels like going.....". Anna asked.
"I'm going". Lisa echoed.
"I'm free". Riana also agreed to come along.
"I just decided to follow you because I can't let my bestie keep roaming around with someone like you without me being there". Emma said as she indirectly declared that she would come along.
"So shall we". Cloe asked as she picked up her handbag from the chair.
They all followed Cloe without uttering a word but just as Cloe was about to open the entrance door, came Mrs. Joy who was smiling at Cloe.
"Good afternoon Mrs.!...... Good afternoon Mom". Cloe greeted Alex Mom.
She was contemplating if she should greet Mrs. Joy or just call her Mom according to Anna.
"WOW! it has been a long time since I last saw you, how's everything going on". Mrs. Joy asked in her usual caring tone.
"I'm fine Mom, just trying to make sure that the company stands firm".
"That's nice, but you should still try to go out more often, your life shouldn't revolve all around the company". Mrs. Joy's advice.
After Mrs. Joy had given Cloe more advice, before wishing them to have fun, as she allow them to leave the house.
"So where are we going to....". Lisa asked.
"A boutique, teddy". Cloe replied.
" You can't call me that name, my name is Lisa, not teddy". Lisa argues, causing her voice to echo in the car whose side mirrors are still up.
"Why won't I call you that, it was obvious that we are going to a boutique, but you are still asking where we are going, like don't you even have.....".
"Enough Cloe, we don't insult ourselves here, so if you think you can't bring yourself down to our level, then you can kindly drop us now, so we can just walk it back home". Anna said.
"I didn't mean it, but her question was offensive".
"Alright! since the issue is being solved, I would like to see the picture of your date, but first of all you are going to tell us what are the outcomes of the most dates that you go to". Riana said, sounding like the elder one here, which I quite love because she is the only person around us who has given birth to a child, and we are also expecting more.
Cole stares at the car wheel for a whole one minute before spilling the beans out.
"All my dates always end with. 'You are a nice, beautiful and hardworking woman, but I don't think we proceed to the next level, because you are just so bossy, which is what I hate from a Lady'.
