“Will you keep sharing stares with me or rather, allow me get up?” Prince asked.
“Huh?” She whispered.
“Get! Up!” He stressed the words, angrily.
“Oh” She widened her eyes and stood up, hurriedly that she nearly staggered.
Prince groaned and also got up.
As soon as he did, he started dusting himself.
“I’m sorry” She quickly bowed.
Prince scoffed and walked past her.
“I left the letter on your desk” She whispered, now facing him.
Sunny looked at his desk and widened her eyes.
She was also looking around now.
“Where’s it?” She mumbled.
Prince heard this and held the letter up.
“You mean this?”
Sunny shook her head.
“It’s mister green”
“Mister green? Who’s that?” Prince raised a brow.
Sunny studied him and gulped hard.
“Over there” She pointed.
Prince traced her pointer finger with his sharp eyes which fell on his Brë@št pocket. written by sommy pearl f.
He widened his eyes when he saw a praying mantis standing right there.
He quickly grabbed it and threw it away to who knows where.
“Courageous” Sunny thought, with a small smirk.
“Leave” He gestured.
Sunny bowed and turned..
“Ah. Uhmm… And call Secretary Cha on your way” Prince told her, quickly.
She briefly looked at him and nodded before finally leaving.
“Calm down” Prince exhaled, holding his loud beating chest.

“Sir, you called for- Mr Cha couldn’t complete his statement, since he didn’t see Prince on his spot.
“Sir? Sir? Sir! Where are you?” Mr Cha called.
“Behind you” A small voice chipped.
Mr Cha quickly turned around to see Prince at the back of the door.
He was trembling. written by sommy pearl f.
“Huh?, Sir…What are you do-
“Ssh! No questions. Just…Just kill that thing please or chase it away from here or something” Prince pointed at the floor.
Mr Cha looked down at the praying mantis.
He looked back at Prince with a smile.
“And don’t laugh” Prince warned.
Mr Cha held it in and tightly folded his lips.
The insect jumped on his desk and Prince flinched.
“What are you still waiting for? Aish! Do something!” Prince said, louldly watching as the bossy insect moved around on his desk.

“Killed it already but I’m sorry to say I targeted and killed it right on this envelope” Mr Cha said swing Prince the squashed insect on Sunny’s apology letter.
Prince shifted back and raised his neck up. He sighed in relief.
“Nah, It’s fine. As long as it’s dead. Just discard it away. The sight of insects agitates and irks me, you know”
Mr Cha nodded and finally left.
The moment he was out, he released his laughter and chortled out loud.
“I can hear you!” Prince shouted.
Mr Cha gulped and ran off.

Sunny sadly looked at her laptop.
Just then, She remembered she never gave Coffee Farmer a reply so she quickly took her phone and went straight into the A-chat app.
She had 3 messages from him.
*Sorry I couldn’t reply earlier. My friend just dropped by, really drunk*
*it been 2 hours now and yet, you still not online?”
*Good morning(inserts a smiley emoji)*
Sunny smiled, shortly and began to type.
*Sorry for the late reply. I had an issue with my laptop. I even went to work late cause I tried taking it to the repair shop. How’s your friend by the way?*
Prince was in his car when he saw the message.
Mr Cha was the one driving him home.
Prince thought about Sunny.
“What if she was late for a reason likewise” He mumured.
“Sir?” Mr Cha looked back.
“Huh?” Prince muttered, blinking his eyes.
“No…It’s nothing. I ain’t referring to you” Prince retorted.
Mr Cha simply nodded and focused on driving.
Prince took his eyes back to his phone screen.
He smiled and quickly replied.
Sunny giggled when she saw the message which said;
*Well, you should be less concerned about my friend and be more worried about me (inserts eyes up emoji)
*How’s your laptop now though? Repaired it already?* Coffee farmer sent a new message.
Sunny replied twice too.
*Yh* She lied.
*It’s not like you got drunk so I should apparantly be more concerned about him(inserts a laughing emoji). Ah, I hope you prepared a nice hangover soup after he woke up*
*Glad to hear your laptop is doing fine. Humph! Hangover soup, indeed. Like I said before, you should be more worried about me. My friend is a jerk*
Sunny read his reply and laughed, loudly.
*And why is he a jerk? Are you jealous?(inserts 3 laughing rolling emojis)*
Maya who was busy watching a movie on her phone, quickly shot her an angry look.
“Hey! Can you just be quiet? I’m trying to focus here. Aiish,,, Darn that Mr Farmer! Look at what he’s doing to my friend. I’ll kill him when I see him” Maya snarled.
Sunny wasn’t even listening.
Her mind was so, in her phone.
*C’mon,, I’m not jealous. I’m just protesting. It ain’t right for you to be supporting a jerk like him*
*Oh, really? So, your friend is a jerk?*
*A grand jerk for that matter!*
*And why’s he a jerk?*
*Cause he gave me an annoying task which I’m regretting. I promised him though and I can’t back away from it now*
Prince smiled at her reply;
*Since you made a promise to him, then, you shouldn’t neglect it. Anyways, I wish you the best. Fighting (inserts a smiley emoji)*
Prince was about to type when he noticed something and looked up.
“Wait? Are we on traffic? No wonder we haven’t still gotten home” Prince said.
“We’ve been in the traffic for more than 15 minutes now but you were just too engrossed on your phone to notice” Mr Cha said.
Prince cleared his throat, loudly.
“The traffic might take a while. If you’re feeling bored or you wanna lighten the atmosphere, I’m gonna switch on the radio” Mr Cha said, about to press the power button.
“No, you don’t have to worry. I have my boredom killer already”
“Oh. Okay” Mr Cha replied.
20 MINUTES LATER**
“We are here” Mr Cha said.
Prince looked up and nodded.
*Just got home. The traffic was h*ll* He sent it to Sunny and got down.

Prince kicked his shoes off by the foot mat before switching on the light.
He dropped his briefcase down and took down his tie before entering the gallant sitting room. written by sommy pearl f.
His jaw dropped when he saw his granny sitting down, busily eating.
“Grandma?” He called.
She looked up and smiled.
“Good thing you are even here”
“I’m here too” Clement chuckled, with a wave.
He was coming out from the bathroom, where he went to wash his hair.
He had a small towel around his dripping neck.
Prince rolled his eyes and grunted lowly.
