"Ria" she called amist sobbing when her sister picked the call.
Somaria got disturbed at the sound of her sister's crying voice. Tyndall rarely cries and her crying always scare everyone because she is the one that knows how to control her emotions the most.
"Are you crying?" She asked quickly.
Tyndall cried the more as she was asked that question.
"Tin, please talk to me. What's going on?" She asked in fear.
"Ria I'm in trouble" she wept.
"In trouble? What trouble?" She asked anxiously.
"My boss just told me that that gadget is ruined" she cried.
Her words were not clear enough but Somaria was able to pick the word gadget.
"What gadget?"
"Tha...tha....that..one..."
"Can you please calm down and tell me what's happening. You are freaking me out here" she said when Tyndall was stuttering.
"That device I was telling you that I'm in charge of" she made it more clearer.
"Yes the one you couldn't stop talking about its features?"
She nods her head as if her sister could see her. "Yes" she cries again.
"What happened to it" Somaria was losing patience.
"I got to the office this morning and the trending news is that it got tampered with and it is ruined".
Somaria couldn't contain her shock that she shouted. With the way Tyndall rhapsodized about this gadget and even to the extent of praising Juan with sweet words, she had to go check Google for the gadget and its features. Her mouth drop at the features and even at the exuberancy of the money to acquire it. Now she juat heard that such gadget got tampered with under her sister's care. That's not a good news at all.
"This is terrible" she voiced out.
"Yes it is. My life is ruined" she cried.
"C'mon Tin, don't say that" she said with an encouraging voice. "What is Juan saying about it?"
She herself can't predict what her ex will say or do about the issue. She wished it didn't happen when she already broke up with him. She know that she needed to help her sister out.
"I've not seen him but trust me, he's gonna kill me" she said. "Ria, there's more to this. Someone is behind this" she said sniffing.
When she said that all her colleagues inside the room looked at each other. Even Agatha that was closer to her moved back as if she's the one been accused.
"Who could that be?" She quickly reasoned with her sister.
"I don't know but all I know is that that folk really hate me to want to ruin my career" she replied intentionally loud so that they could hear her the more.
"Don't worry they would be exposed by God's grace. Just beep me to tell me about what Juan is saying about the issue".
She shook her head. "I don't think I wanna see him".
"You don't have a choice here dear. You have to know your fate and he is the possible one to determine that now".
"I know. I know" she wept.
"Let's wait for him before we know the next step".
"Ok sis. Thank you" she said with sniffing and trying to smile at the same time. The smile was sour.
"And please stop crying" she pleaded.
"How can I?"
"Please sweet".
"I'll try".
"Please do. You know you look scary when you cry" she reminded.
She was already looking so scary. Ahe looked exactly like a baby suffering from blue baby syndrome. The only difference was that she wasn't blue but all red including her big eyeballs.
"Thank you Ria".
"Don't forget to beep me OK".
"Yes I will".
"Don't worry all will be well. We will sure find a way to sort things out" she assured.
"Ok" ahe sniffed.
She put her head on the table immediately the call dropped not wanting to see anyone's pitiful look. She wished all was a dream and that she would wake up to reality to see things are very fine and intact. She has cried that her eyes felt like it has pins in them.
Just as she started to relax, Juan's personal assistant showed up. At the sight of him alone, her heart skipped and her tears returned even though her eyes were pinching her. She knew she's in for query. Juan will never forgive her this time. He doesn't have any reason to pardon her because she has never been fair to him but unaccommodating.
She picked her steps one after the other as if there is jello on the floor and she is minding not falling. Juan's office hasn't been a thing of interest to her but today was worse. She felt like she died and her judgement is to go to hell. So a demon is escorting her to hell which is Juan's office.
