The Confession
The next day, organizing the files at my desk was proving to be a difficult task. My mind was preoccupied with thoughts of how to approach Ezra. Confession is easier said than done. My phone was buzzing since morning but I was so out of it that I didn't pick up the call. I didn't even encounter Ezra in the morning maybe he had arrived earlier for some meeting. Mr. Jones came to me with a file and as I was looking so out of it that he threw the file hard on my table and I was brought back into real life.
"What the hell are you daydreaming about? You are here to work so work properly or it will affect your promotion. Go and get this file signed from Ezra Anderson", he then angrily left for his cabin. I wanted a way to meet Ezra and now I have got that opportunity but I was scared. Again my phone buzzed, it was an unknown number calling. I didn't bother to pick up the call. Then I received a text message from the same unknown number to answer the call. When I checked I had fifty missed calls from the same unknown number.
Again the same number called me, this time I answered the phone. "Hey senorita...why aren't you answering my calls...are you too shy to talk to me?", the love consultant voice sounded as if he was making fun of me.
"How did you get my contact number?"
"It's not difficult to find the contact details of a beautiful girl. By the way, have you confessed to Ezra yet?"
"No, not yet", I answered.
"That's good. Now I want you to put your earpods and leave your hair open so that no one can see it. Then go and confess to Ezra I want to hear everything he says. That will tell me a lot about his personality", he sounded serious.
"Okay I do have to get his signature on one of the files but I am getting nervous what if he gets angry...", I put forward my worries.
"Don't you worry even if he gets angry I promise you one day he will come to you to apologize. You just need to follow my ideas. And whatever happens, don't forget that I am there for you"
His words somehow gave me courage. I opened my hair and switched on my earpods. Standing outside Ezra's cabin, I took a deep breath and knocked on his door. After getting a reply from him I entered his cabin. He was reading some documents so he didn't look up and just said, "Keep the file here I will sign it and send it to your department later Mr. Jones."
To get his attention I cleared my throat first and then in a very low voice I said, "I am Aria....here to get your signature." After hearing my name he looked up at me. I knew he was staring at me with anger before he could say anything I myself started to explain to him. "I am very sorry for my behavior last time, it was all due to my misunderstanding. I am here to get your signature. Mr. Jones wants this file to be ready by today."
"If you know your mistakes then it is fine. Give me the file I will sign it."
After he signed the file he gave it back to me and again moved his attention to the documents he was reading earlier. The Love Consultant who was still on call through earpods asked me to confess now. I was getting nervous not knowing how to tell him, Ezra was again busy reading the documents. With great difficulty, I managed to say, "Hey.."
He looked at me again.
"Why are you still here? Your work is done you can leave."
"I want to say something to you...."
"What?", he sounded irritated.
Because of the anger visible on Ezra's face and the constant nagging from the love consultant on the earpods I blurted out, "I like you, Ezra!!!"
