Life after Marriage

As I entered through the front door Kate was busy talking with someone on the phone in the front desk. She waved me hello as I walked past her. Kate is the receptionist and she is always busy fancying her rather than doing her work. I took a mug of coffee and walked into my cabin. My show is at eight in the evening. I sat in my office chair and sipped the last drop of coffee from the mug before turning my laptop on. I started typing a request letter to my boss and e-mailed it to him so that I can leave early today. After working for an hour and a half , I walked towards my Boss's cabin. Louis was busy designing the blue print of a beach house.
“ Hey Louis!” I smiled at him and sat in the chair opposite to him. He nodded his head in return without even looking at me.
Louis is my boss and he is more over like a brother to me. He cares for me all the time. He is the senior architect in the firm and an amazingly talented person. We met when I joined this firm two years ago and instantly became good friends. After a few minutes he completed his work and looked at me.
“ So when is your show?” He asked me raising his brow.
“Its at eight tonight and I have to leave by three .I have to be there early today since its my first show. Is that okay .. If I leave by three?” I asked him. I don't know if he is sure about this because he wanted me to concentrate only on Architecture but I can't help it cause Im interested in anchoring too.
“ What about the Seattle plan? I told you that I will talk to the channel” he said.
Louis promised me that he would convince the sponser of the architectural program that is to be held in seattle tomorrow .He told me that he would suggest them if I could be the stage anchor.
“ I know but I got this thing to be the news reader everyday. Its a live show and Im lucky to have it in the first place. I mean who gets a live show on their first day ?” I asked him. He looked at me for a second and nodded his head.He agreed to send me at three and gave me a few projects to work on.
“ Thank you so much Louis “ I gave him a hug before leaving his cabin.
I know he would agree with me. I went inside my cabin and started to work. Even though I was in the cabin my mind was dreaming about the show that I was about to do in a few hours. It was lunch time. I walked to the front desk to check if kate was ready to go for lunch. Everyday Kate would accompany me to lunch. Unfortunately she was nowhere to be found. I looked at the time and it was one thirty in the afternoon. She couldn't have gone anywhere without me. Where the hell did she go? I was walking across the lobby here and there .
“ Eve what are you doing here?” I heard a sweet feminine voice behind me.
I turned around to see who it was. It was Eleanor. She quickly gave me a tight hug .
“ You look Lovely” She smiles. She is fond of me. Eleanor is Louis girlfriend. They have been together for a long time. She has an amazing figure and 5'7 foot tall. She is trendy, cute and has the most beautiful smile.
“ Thank you “ I say as I hold her hands.
“ Eve what's wrong? Why are you waiting here” Louis asked me.
“ I was wondering where kate went ! ”
“ She took half day off today. Didn't she tell you that?”
“ Oh ... I came here to take her for lunch” I put up a fake smile on my face. Kate never told me that she is taking the day off and I had to know it from Louis. She is my best friend and I became really upset over this thing.
“ We are going to have lunch. Why don't you join us?” Eleanor offered and I nodded in agreement.
We walked to the nearby chinese restaurent. Louis and Eleanor were holding hands and kissing all the time on our way . I understood that it was a wrong decision to have lunch with them. I felt like giving them their privacy so I quickly had my lunch and waved them goodbye before leaving to my office. I filled my mug with coffee again and started working on my projects.
At three I submitted my work in Louis cabin. The cabin was empty and I understood that Louis hasn't come back to the office. He might have been busy hanging out with his girlfriend as we are leaving to seattle tomorrow. I took my bag and phone and left the office building. I decided to take the metro to go to the Tv station. I walked to the subway station and sat in one of the wooden chairs. The station was deserted and I couldn't see anyone except those who are sweeping the platform. I tried to call Elena but her line was busy as usual. So, I decided to call the show producer.
“ Hi Roger, Im Evelyn Parker. I am the new news reader. I called you to make sure that Im in” I told him.
“ Oh Miss.Parker yeah ... you are in ! Call me when you get here” I heard him flipping pages to make sure my name was on the list. My old boss from the local Tv channel was impressed by my performance so he introduced me to the producer, Roger. Roger interviewed me months ago. I thought Roger would never give me this opportunity but finally he did.
" Sure, Thankyou" I replied.
I decided to call Liam and chit chat with him for a while untill the train arrived. I walked here and there on the platform busy gossiping.
I heard strange sound from my heel. I ignored it and started to walk again. When I was close to the tracks my heel broke and my foot slipped and I was about to fall into the tracks. I closed my eyes for a second and thought that I was dead. When I opened my eyes , I realised that someone was trying to grab my hand. I was leaning with my body above the tracks and my legs on the edge of the platform. Before I could see who was holding my hand, a bright light flashed on my face followed by a loud horn. Before I could see what it was I was pulled aside by someone.
It was a train. Thank God!
I fell down as my heel broke. I hit my head on the wooden bench. Ouch that hit me hard!
“ Excuse me miss are you alright?” I heard a deep and husky voice behind me. My eyes were blurred and I could see only his legs and I was sitting on the platform. I couldn't see him properly. I saw his legs running to get into the train. Before I could stand myself up, the train doors closed and it started moving. Suddenly reality hit me that the next train was an hour later OMG... I have to be there at 4 and the time was already 3:37 now. Oh god thats great!
“Its going to be a nice start” I said to myself in regret.
