Clara's pov:
It's already morning, another beautiful day to work until I break down, stretching my hand to get my little bed clock.It's 7:45am, oh my God!
Dashing out of my bed, I rushed to have a quick shower. I don't want to get into trouble today and my monthly payment is very necessary. After the quick bath, I dressed in a beautiful red gown, my hair well styled, I applied a light makeup on my face.
"Elegant creature." I muttered while smiling to myself. I exited my apartment and head to Zen coffee, a coffee shop where I work.
On getting to the shop, seeing my boss's car gave me an immediate hypertension, I felt the urge to urinate.
Oh my God, what have I gotten myself into. I stood for a while, waiting to see any of my colleagues for coverage.
Today is valentine and everyone would be busy, it's going to be a hectic one. 
"Hi Jessica," I called trying to draw my colleague's attention.
Jessica's pov:
I saw Clara stupidly waving at me, I know she needed my help but why should I? She competes for everything, she claims to look more beautiful than I am, she takes away friends I love, everyone loves her but today is my time to revenge,I'm really going to show her how wicked I can be.
I'm going to stylishly report to my boss that someone is late and hiding from work, I said
Ignoring her signal, I walked to meet my boss, a tall beautiful but mean woman, a wife to one of the wealthiest billionaire in the city Mrs. Tim. She is beautiful, hot, elegant, classy and any amazing definition you can call a woman, but very harsh and rude.
"Good morning ma," I greeted.
Mrs. Tim stared at me like she has seen a disgusting picture, but that's her way of life, I smiled to keep up my face.
"What can I do for you," she shouted.
"Ma, Clara is late for work and she is trying to sneak in," I replied her sounding like a beautiful devil.
I could see that fierce look that means anger and I felt so happy, Clara is going to experience what she can't explain, I smiled to myself,I was so eager to see her make Clara feel bad, sounds wicked right? But I know it will look interesting.
Clara's pov:
I have stood out for about 20 minutes and I couldn't get someone to help me in, I guess today is a very bad day, Mrs. Tim coming before me is a sign that I'm going to experience something terrible. I was already very scared and saying my prayers. What could be going on in there?
Everyone seems busy?
'Oh Lord save my soul,' I muttered.
The sight of Mrs. Tim nearly took me out of life, I could feel my eyes twitching like I'm loosing my sight, my head spinning and my feet trembling. My enemies have succeeded, I muttered.
"You idiot what are you doing there?"
Mrs. Tim asked, while my heart sank. I could feel my heart beating faster than normal, my palms were turning sweaty.
"Come here with your red face." she commanded
I walked towards Mrs. Tim, praying not to receive a slap from her, she slaps so easily without regret and we would end up apologizing, reporting to the police will cost your job and getting another isn't easier anywhere .
Slowly I walked towards where she was standing, saying my little prayer with the hope that God would save me this time, I could see Jessica standing behind her and definitely she was filming me, but right now she isn't the problem.
Twazzzzz!( sound of the slap)
I felt every bit of the slap, my head spinning, my stomach grumbling. At that point everything was happening to me, I felt like I was going to die.
"Stupidly leave my sight." Mrs. Tim shouted and I dragged my dying self and ran.
I got into the changing room to wear my safety wears, I sat on the floor at least to regain myself, my stomach was seriously reminding me of how empty it is, coupled with Mrs. Tim slap, slowly I was feeling out of the world and I fell to the ground.
Karl's pov:
I walked in and not knowing what was going on. I saw Clara on the floor holding her tummy and stretching like she was about to die, I wanted to turn and leave but my mind kept on pushing me to help,I rushed to her to know what was happening but she couldn't say a word, she kept on giving a sign for either food or water. I rushed to the store house and got my water and snacks, I don't joke with my food but a life needed to be saved.
Rushing back into the changing room, she was still in that position, I tried my best feeding her and hoping she get better. Few minutes after waiting for her to regain her strength, Clara got up.
'It's funny how hunger can actually kill someone untimely,' I said to myself while laughing out, 'but why would she come to work without eating.'
Clara's pov:
I felt a bit good, I opened my eyes to see Karl staring at me, this was the least person I expected, Karl stopped being my friend because he wanted a relationship and I couldn't give that, it's so surprising how he offered to help.
We kept on staring at each other not knowing what to say.
"Let me help you stand." Karl voice brought me back.
"Thank you," I replied.
He helped me stand and I felt so shy of myself not knowing the reason why .
"Try to eat next time, you almost ate my fingers," he said and walked away.
"Thank you," I replied.
I thanked him,even though it was a very silly thing to say to someone.
I wore my protective clothing and walked out to resume for today.
Today is already the worst day of my life, praying so hard for it to end so I can go home. I was already expecting to see my mockery video on the staff Whatsapp group or probably on the internet, Jessica can go any length to make me feel bad.
Jessica has always been a thorn on my flesh from the first day I started working here. She sees me as a competition which I don't know why. Jessica is really pretty but always in a competition with someone, which I see as low self esteem.
"Hey pretty mess," a familiar voice called.
It's Jessica again, always good at causing trouble but I don't have time for that now maybe some other time.
I tried walking away at least to ignore her trouble since it's still morning but she wouldn't let me.
"Hey I'm talking to you," she said blocking my path.
I stared at her for a moment while expecting her to talk, but she didn't and I pushed her so I could pass.
"Remember to check the group for your pretty video," she said.
I walked away and not being surprised, I already knew her intention for making the video but the reason for such hate is still unknown to me but I don't really care about her now, life is so broad to be stopped by a being, I said to myself.
