Parallel Collision
the meeting fixation
May Olivia Quilin
☏︎ yes sir, the material for the meeting is ready...
May Olivia Quilin
☏︎ right, okay. I'll be there soon.
I walks down to the living room
I see my roommate is standing against the kitchen counter as soon as I start walking down
she raises her head from the counter, half asleep
Scarlett Adele Smith
oh, good morning..
May Olivia Quilin
another long shift?
Scarlett Adele Smith
there are no longs when you're a doctor.
she says with a smile, she always does
Scarlett Adele Smith
you got beer?
May Olivia Quilin
it's 6 AM?!
while I make my coffee, she goes on chugging at her beer
May Olivia Quilin
slow down..
She finishes it with her eyes closed, her body was indifferently tired, I could see it. I have been long enough with her to see it
I pull out another chair from our dinning table and place it next to her, and take a seat
I stare ahead at me to the living room, while drinking my coffee in silence. I had an open kitchen
Scarlett Adele Smith
it's tiring..
and there it was. it always worked. Deafening silence always bought out the truth from her mouth
even if it was a 2 word confession, it was rare
she was the lion who never agreed to bow
Scarlett Adele Smith
yea, please
i had already ordered one before telling her, its on its way
me and Scarlett never had long conversations, it was two-words of telling each other if we were okay.
it was not because our bond was not strong
we understood each other enough to know exactly how the other feels with just eye contact
I keep my arm on her shoulder, she turns towards me
Scarlett Adele Smith
you're not late? it's past six thirty
she points towards the clock in our kitchen
May Olivia Quilin
I'll be fine. first gotta wake up sasha then get ready and-
footsteps from the stairs attracts our attention. my third roomate comes into my view.
✔︎ w̶a̶k̶e̶-u̶p̶-s̶a̶s̶h̶a̶
Sasha Malhotra
what's going on?
sasha walks down the stairs, while simultaneously putting on her hoodie, above her thin tshirt
Aiden Blaze Mason
Miss may, a moment?
May Olivia Quilin
sure sir.
Aiden Blaze, the CSO of our company, was a remarkable man
I have been working under him from a few months now, and this is probably the most close I have seen him
we were both alone in the conference room
everybody had left with their files. as I was the last one to present I took me a little while to collect all my data.
and by the time I submitted all my files. everyone was out
I was also gonna leave after submitting, but Aiden Blaze wanted to have a chat
Aiden Blaze Mason
I had to talk to you about the Indian clients. in my office, after lunch?
May Olivia Quilin
oh yes, Mr and Mrs devkar.
May Olivia Quilin
everything is almost ready sir, just-
Aiden Blaze Mason
after lunch. I think I was pretty clear
May Olivia Quilin
sure sir.
I instantly saw the change in him. even though he dint show it out, it was clear he was offended that I dint seem to apologise.
i knew where and when to act with whom.
Lisa
gosh, the CSO is a charmer. we are so lucky to be chosen for this project
there were times, I had to hear on and on just about her online crush.
her constant talking about guys, was not a problem for me in the starting, I enjoyed it a little.
but its so damn annoying now.
even though I was known to be a straight bitch in the building, my team members know that I look different from what I actually am.
I have a resting bitch face, but anybody who has met for for the 10th time, could say that I was nothing like how I looked outside.
lisa was new. she would take a few months to understand my ways.
I never fited in normal society, long conversations, useless conversations with lunch, was not my style.
Lisa
what did you get for lunch?
May Olivia Quilin
sandwich.
Lisa
oh okay. what's wrong.
Lisa
did something happen between you and the CSO? did he not call you to his office? there is a rumour in the entire floor.
May Olivia Quilin
it's nothing lisa.
Lisa
oh come on tell me, I won't tell anyone
she never got it when I said no. that annoyed me.
not only she, they were various people who never understood I have boundaries, and even though I wanna cross them, I don't want anyone tearing them and coming inside.
all I need is time around a new person, Scarlett gave me a lot of time, so did Sasha. they understood me.
I didn't have social anxiety. its just emotional connection which scares me.
May Olivia Quilin
may I come in?
I knock on the door and go inside when he says yes
Aiden Blaze Mason
please sit down
he points toward the chair kept in front of his desk
before I could start talking, he interrupted me.
Aiden Blaze Mason
I know the situation, miss may
he says while joining his hands over his table, placing his head above his hands.
Aiden Blaze Mason
we have to meet the Mr and Mrs devkar, to finalize the plans.
Aiden Blaze Mason
you're a regional sales head, what's the problem?
May Olivia Quilin
what about Mr lowen? he is supposed to go with you, isn't he?
Aiden Blaze Mason
He is scheduled for a different meeting, the THG traders are causing a scene related to our product
Aiden Blaze Mason
and he recommended you on his behalf.
May Olivia Quilin
alright.
May Olivia Quilin
please email me the venue and time. ill make sure to come on time.
Aiden Blaze Mason
that's alright, I am gonna pick you up. we are heading there together.
Aiden Blaze Mason

May Olivia Quilin
alright.
