Introduction

, that was the sound of my computer's keyboard. I glanced down towards the time "3A.M in the morning." I'm surrounded by darkness as usual.

Once again I was made to stay after hours to complete Ash's files, but I guess it's better than enduring her torment.

I know I'm not as pretty as her, or even as curvy as her, sure I might be a little bland on the eyes, but I do have one thing she doesn't have, and that's an education.

I came into this company shortly after completing my studies, full of life and vigor, a break from the teasing and taunting eyes of my peers.

As I walked through the doors ready to work, I was met by the secretary, Ash.

I introduced myself happily like a dog freed from its leash "I'm Raya M, the companies newest addition!" So naive.

Ash flicked a piece of hair from her head to the side " Yes, welcome Raya we have no time to chit-chat you must get straight to work!"

And work I did, some could even say I was happy doing it until...

"Rayaaaaaaaa!" Ash's voice echoed across the office floor, I checked my watch " 1:59 P. M. Swinging my chair around I smiled and answered "You need something Ash?"

Ash's eyes widened and her lips puckered "Ray Rayyyyy can you finish this paper for me I want to go out tonight but I don't think I could possibly finish in timeee."

Ash pointed the paper at me still giving me puppy eyes.

I sighed to myself " Not like I have anything better to do right?"

I took the paper, and managed to finish by my designated hours.

Little did I know that this was the beginning of a never ending cycle.

3 months later

"Raya I need this paper done by tomorrow, thank you darling!"

Ash began to scurry off whilst on her phone before I stopped her "Ash.. I can't keep carrying both of our work loads it's extremely exhausting you'll have to take this back." I nudged the paper that she had tossed so effortlessly on my desk back in her direction.

Ash stopped in her tracks glaring at me " so you're saying you won't do it for me Raya?"

Her tone was scarily emotionless as she tilted her head questioningly.

"I can't do it Ash."

Ash waltzed up to my table and snatched her paper " That's ok Raya, I'll finish it."

And with that she walked away.

I breathed a sigh of relief "Finally, A BREAK!"

That was the first day since I arrived here that I could go home early and take a well deserved nap.

I woke up the next day feeling refreshed, "Today's going to be a great day!"

I set off to work whistling a cheery tune. As I arrived at my desk I was horrified.

I clutched my head into my palms, every. single . file and paper was scattered on my desk and soaking wet!

In my despair I heard a familiar sound, Ash's heels connecting to the office tiles, she stopped at my desk " Oh dear! Who could've done such a thing?"

She placed her hand on her mouth " doesn't that mean you'll have to start all over again?"

"It's her, SHE did this." I turned to Ash, fists clenched, "Luckily for me I have all of my files and information duplicated on my laptop." I smiled "Just some extra ink."

Ash was visibly taken aback by this and walked off muttering to herself.

Whilst I panicked to myself "What have I done? I didn't mean to cause any trouble."
