Chapter 19 - setup

The HR came to Mirabel's office and started searching for the missing file.

She saw the file in Mirabel's locker. What is this file doing in your locker? Did you not say you don't know where the file is? What is it now doing in your locker? The HR asked Mirabel.

I sincerely don't know how this file got here. Mirabel said.

You don't know how this file got here? Now I know who you are. You are a spy. Did our competitor send you? They sent you to come spy on us. The HR accused Mirabel. I'm no spy Madam. This fashion show is as important to me as it is our boss. Mirabel said.

The HR took the file to the CEO. Sir I found the file in Mirabel's office. I think she is working for our competitor. The HR said.

At that moment. Chris walked into the office. Mirabel and HR you can leave. The Boss said.

Mirabel can stay. Mr. Chris said. HR leave. The CEO said.

This got the HR really angry. Why would the CEO ask her to leave even after she set up Mirabel with that file.

How far about the designs? Mr Chris asked Mirabel.

My Boss and I are working on unique designs. Mirabel said.

Can I see them? Mr. Chris said.

The CEO showed Mr. Chris the designs they worked on during the weekend. This is fantastic. With this design I'm very sure we are winning the fashion show. Mr. Chris said.

Thank you Mr. Chris. The CEO said. Mirabel it's a good thing you came working for this company at this time. You are truly God sent to the company. And I hope your CEO compensates you well. Mr Chris said.

He does his best. Mirabel replied. That's good to know. Now all I want to hear is wedding bells after this Fashion show. Mr Chris said and looked at the CEO and Mirabel.

He just smiled. Come on, cheer up. I'm just kidding. He said. It's nice having you around Mr. Chris. The CEO said. Likewise. Mr. Chris replied.

Mr. Chris stood up and shake hands with the CEO before leaving.

You can leave. The CEO said to Mirabel. Sir? Mirabel said. Go back to your office. The CEO said to Mirabel.

Mirabel thought he would bring up the topic of what the file was doing in her locker. But the CEO didn't bring up the topic.

Immediately Mirabel settled in her office, She saw the HR returning to the CEO's office.

She was in her office when she overheard the CEO exchanging words with the HR.

After about a couple of minutes. The HR came out of the office angry. She was very angry more than she had ever been.

After work that day Mirabel and Jemima went home. Mirabel gisted Jemima all that happened. Because there was rumor already flying around the office that Mirabel st0le some files. So she cleared Jemima what really happened. Because Jemima was surprised why Boss didn't sack Mirabel if she really st0le the file.

This HR is going to far o. Jemima said. Honestly. I don't know what I did to that woman. She want to just frustrate my life in that office. Mirabel said. When did it become f0rce for a man to like you. She is just overdoing this thing. And I heard she is from a wealthy family. Jemima said. Really? Mirabel asked. Yes. And her father is one of our biggest client. I don't even know why she doesn't just go and work for her father, other than f!ghting for man. Jemima said.

Work continued going well. The preparation for the biggest fashion show was going well.

It was one day left to the main event. Jemima and Mirabel were coming back home from work.

When they stopped and Jemima entered inside a store to get something.

Mirabel stayed outside the store and started waiting for her when some tout approached Mirabel to collect her bag. She struggled with them.

Until one of them slāpped Mirabel and she screamed. Jemima had to rush outside and started talking to the touts.

He started exchanging words with them before they left. Jemima grew in the street. So she could not be intimidated by touts.

Why did they harass you? Jemima asked Mirabel. I don't know. Mirabel said.

Jemima collected what she wanted to buy from the store and they went home. Those touts have been seeing you with me in this area, they won't just attack you just like that. Jemima said as they went home.

Are you saying someone sent them? Mirabel asked Jemima. I don't know. I'm not sure yet. Jemima said.

About two hours after they arrived h0me, Mirabel's phone started ringing.

She checked the caller it was Esther calling. Since she left Esther's house this was the first time, Esther called her.

At first Mirabel didn't want to pick the call. But then she picked it up.

Hello Mirabel. Esther said over the phone. Hello Esther. What is it? Mirabel asked Esther.

With a crying voice. She said.

It's Tobe; Tobe beats me.. Esther said.
