"Don't leave this room until I get back from the meeting, "
Nathan made Seraphina sit in one of the waiting rooms of Grayson Corporation because she didn't want to go inside with him in the meeting room and besides, he knew it would be inappropriate taking her with him to meet his head boss and he didn't want to make Seraphina uncomfortable.
"I will be back within 10 minutes , okay? "
Seraphina nodded at him with a smile and replied
"All the very best for your meeting, Nate. "
He beamed and patted her head and then left the room, leaving her alone in that waiting room because he knew that place was safe because that entire building,including that room was under strict surveillance and besides no outsider was ever allowed to get inside the company, except Seraphina.
Her azure blue eyes were scanning that entire room in curiosity which was looking clean, luxurious and beautiful. That entire building was more magnificent from inside . She was admiring that room's beauty when her phone started ringing.
Seraphina took out her bag from her shoulders and then unzipped it. She took out her phone from it and then saw her best friend and classmate's number flashing on it.
She accepted the video call and then heard her besty speaking.
"Hey! Baby Seph. How's your health now? "
Seraphina smiled hearing her and replied
"I am fine now, Evelyn. By the way, why didn't you go to school today? "
"My cousins are coming today for lunch and besides you too were not coming to school today, so I decided to skip , " Her friend answered to which she nodded.
"I'll join school from tomorrow, Eve. "
"Okay. Hey where are you, Seph right now? Are you out of your home? "
Seraphina bobbed her head at her friend's question.
"Yes, I am at Nate's workplace, "
"You mean ,you're at Grayson Corporation? " Her friend spoke, slightly shocked. Seraphina nodded.
"But I have heard that Grayson Corporation doesn't allow any outsiders to get inside their workplace? "
She heard her friend asking. Seraphina had no knowledge about it, so she just shrugged her head in denial
"I don't know anything about it. I came here with Nate. He has an important meeting with his head boss,so he has gone to attend it. "
"Oh… Okay, " Her friend stated and Seraphina again simply nodded, until
"Hey! Seph. If you are there then show me that place from inside please. I have heard that place is very beautiful and luxurious, "
Seraphina gulped hearing her friend.
"But Eve, Nate has told me to not go out of this room and besides it would be disrespectful invading this company's privacy , "
"Oh my good girl, at least show me that floor and room in which you are if nobody is present there, " Her friend retorted back.
"But… . "
"Please, please, my Seph baby, please, " Evelyn gave her puppy eyes which made Seraphina think for a minute and then sighed.
"Okay but only this floor because when I came there, this floor was empty, "
Her azure eyes were wandering everywhere in fascination, until her eyes stopped at that particular area where she found that the glass walls were not transparent . She was not able to see through it and that was where she noticed it was a room, especially when she found a door which was slightly open.
Her instinct told her to stay away from it but her naive curiosity was way much higher than her instinct. She took her steps towards that door because that was the only room she had seen at that place ,after that waiting area room .
Seraphina stopped in front of that slightly open huge glass door. She gulped and in her curiosity, she peaked her head through it and her eyes widened by watching that place from inside.
Every single thing inside that room was made up of shiny glass , including its decor and furniture. Seraphina had never seen something so ethereal in her real life .Evelyn was right, that place was way more beautiful than she could ever imagine. Seraphina thought.
Her gleaming blue orbs gaped at that room like she was watching an alluring dream, until her eyes fell on something which was on the desk inside that room.
Her mouth immediately watered by watching her favorite chocolate flavor cookies and biscuits. She licked her lips because her only weakness was chocolate. She could eat chocolate day and night without getting bored. She had even dreamt about making a chocolate castle and lived there ,uncountable number of times . That was how her little innocuous mind used to think and work when it comes to chocolate.
Her tummy started growling whereas her temptation for chocolate was pushing her to go inside and just grab one piece, nobody would ever find out about her not so innocent act because there was a full box of cookies and biscuits, and besides nobody was present inside. Her gaze didn't catch anyone there.
For a couple of minutes, Seraphina fought an inner battle between right and wrong and finally giving up to wrong, she decided to take one cookie and then ran away from there. The owner would never suspect that cute little thief had stolen his cookie.
Seraphina pushed the door. She peaked her head first and made sure nobody was present inside. After finding her way clear, she stepped inside that room and walking on her tiptoes , she carefully reached towards that cookie box.
She licked her lips again and took one cookie and shoved it inside her mouth at once and decided to take a couple more for her journey. She was eating one when she took the bite of another one. She was enjoying the best moment of her life, completely forgetting where she actually was standing and from whom she was stealing.
She had a habit of eating like a kid when it came to her favorite things. Her mouth had gotten smudged with the chocolate, used in making the top filling of those cookies .
Seraphina had taken another piece and took a half bite from it, but then
"What the hell are you doing here? "
