Chapter 8 - Bliss

"HEY! HEY! EVERYONE COME AND GATHER HERE! I HAVE BREAKING NEWS! REALLY BREAKING NEWS!" A short chubby woman stormed into the office hollering, her busty c.h.e.s.t heaved in exhaustion with all the panting and gasping. Her plump face covered in sweat from all the way running to the office. It didn't bother when she stumbled across the desk while running, she steadied herself supporting her short hands-on knees catching for deep breaths. With a shaky hand, she opened a water bottle nearby desk and gulped down the entire content desperate for oblivion.

"Relax Mandy, You are going to die out of breath at this rate." A tall, lanky girl patted her back to ease her puffing.

"It's not the time to relax Naomi. I got breaking news! That witch has thrashed Lucas Richards brutally at the famous DewGarden park. Can you even believe, she has hit the heir of the Richards family." It was still 7.30 in the morning and not many employees were engaged except a couple of group workout sessions advancing at the top floor and combined with her loud voice, it echoed into the crowd crisp and clear. Her voice was shaking with the lack of breath, but it did not bother her. She is desperate to deliver the flash news she has got. Mandy is named as a gossip queen in the office. She is from the production department and very efficient at her work except she has a hobby. Digging all the rumors on celebrities even if they are hiding nook and cranny and she is especially focused on grabbing the news of their witch CEO Leena Hayes. She doesn't know if she likes or hates Leena, but anything related to her was a top priority.

"Really? But DewGarden is residing in a highly restricted area in New York City. How did you enter?" Naomi questioned with excitement. For Naomi, Leena is her role model. She has groomed Naomi to into a professional and she has started training workout sessions in Bliss, she is very kind, sweet, and hardworking.

"Do you remember the model, Jessica Barnes? The one Renya madam has trained her for the Elixir skincare brand. We have set off as good friends after a couple of days she was trained here and she is staying in one of the nearby apartments from the DewGarden and happens to see Leena madam hitting Lucas Richards at the park and recorded everything." Mandy spilled the flash news in a breath.

By then, many of the employees started gathering at Mandy's desk when they heard about a video. The desperate Mandy showed the video to the entire crowd. Their mouths wide agape with the content they watched over the video.

"Look at her twisting that man's arm."

"She looks s.e.xy when she is in action mode."

"Man, she is so hot and ravishing even in her jogging outfit."

"I knew she will beat that man the moment he touched her wrist. What a waste of beauty to be a man-hater. She doesn't recruit any male employees, doesn't come in contact with men and I heard the plants in her house are female. Even carrot is a girl. Her heart is set on Secretary Reese and all the rights are reserved to her." A girl named Sandra remarked

"Hey, I am curious though, who would be at the bottom?" One of the employees questioned with excitement.

"Obviously Secretary Reese. Poor Secretary, her dark circles are visible all over the face. That which might have exhausted her at the nights." Mandy added and continued. "Why don't I see Renya, she might roll on the floor laughing if she watches the video.

"She is in the studio recording for a new episode." Naomi pursued. " But I don't think Leena madam is a Lesbian, she is just crazy in her own way and you are envious of her stardom and what's wrong in beating that man. He deserves punishment. Even if he is rich, he doesn't have the right to touch a woman without their consent and Leena madam has done the right thing teaching him a lesson. Don't you know how many men are abusing women nowadays? We have been seeing the kind of sc.u.ms every day and despite that women are not even able to fight for being weak. As a woman, I am proud of Leena madam, she stood for herself. Besides, It's not good to comment on one's s.e.x.u.a.l preferences Mandy. Even if she is interested in a woman, it's her choice.

Everyone nodded and agreed with Naomi except Mandy.

"Hey, why would I be envious of that skinny woman. She doesn't even have any fat throughout her body." Mandy freaked out angrily. What's so good about her. Does she have huge b.r.e.a.s.ts and wide h.i.p.s like me? Mandy snickered at the thought. Naomi sighed at her friends envious towards Leena. It's clear that she is jealous of Leena.

Just then a woman in her twenties walked into the office.

"Woah! Our new bride has finally arrived! Congratulations Megan. Finally, you are tying a knot with your love life." All the crowd gathered around clapping and cheering her.

"Thank you so much. You guys are so sweet and I hope you make it to the wedding." Megan shyly commented.

"Of course we would arrive a day before. By the way, Where do you plan for a honeymoon. Wear those s.e.xy lingeries you posted on our group. Jordan will make you beg for more." Everyone excitedly commented and Megan shyly nodded. The thought of their first night was exciting.

"What about your leaves? Did she approve?" Another girl questioned.

"Not yet." Megan sighed. "And that is why I am here today. Leena madam wants to see me once."

"She will definitely give you a hard time, but you know her weakness right?" Mandy playfully winked at her.

" We have loved for 3 years. How can I do that to my fiancè?" Megan cried

" I know! I know! Have some patience. That which is not that bad. Just that she hates men and you happen to be marrying a man." Mandy stated.

Despite the fact Megan didn't like the idea her colleague suggested, she had to agree reluctantly. She knew Leena is a very good mentor and personally, she has trained her. Just by a person's mere walking, Leena can make out which part of the body is flexible and sturdy. She was not cited as a Fitness queen and a renowned model in the world for name purposes. Besides, the company provides numerous benefits and the CEO doesn't torture people as most of the companies do to their employees. Everyone works harmoniously in Bliss, takes breaks when stressed and she even compelled to take a leave to get motivated. She even engages them out to relax and develop the bond between employees. She is nowhere in par with the CEOs she has been reading in the novels where they are described as dark and cold-blooded.

While they were engrossed in their gossip, a slight commotion knocked them from their stupor and the gathered crowd rushed to their places in a wink and they knew the Witch has arrived.
