Grieving Hearts [Completed]

13- And then it happened.

Onika's POV...

When I reached office it was exceptionally quiet. What the hell happend here over night? I checked my watch I was already 10 minutes late. I was having an ominous feeling at the back of my head, nagging at me. My instincts telling me to run away. I ward it off, thinking that it's just because I am still disturbed by the past events.

Why haven't any one arrived yet. Is it a holiday or something? But if it would have been so, Theodore would surely have informed me about it.

Then I saw a security guard coming towards me. Before he could speak anything I asked him "where is everyone Robert." He took a few seconds to catch his breath before replying.

"Ma'am everyone is in the Seminar Room".

I furrowed my brows in confusion, there is a seminar going on and I had no prior information?

"Who is con--" he cut me off.

"Mam I don't know the details I was just told to inform everyone"

This is weird. Usually the security guards over here are the most well informed person about what's happening around. "Okay, I am going there thanks for informing me", with that I left for the Seminar Room.

Whole seminar room was packed with the staffs, every one bearing a confused expression, talking among themselves in hushed voices to make sense of what was going around.

Seems like I am not the only one who knows nothing.

"Hey! Onika you are here."one of my colleague and good friend Lyla came rushing to me. "Yes, but what is happening here?"

"Just now the COO came and announced that the company has been sold to some business tycoon and he will be here any minute. The COO went to receive him."

"What! H-How? When? Fuck!-" I looked at her in shock, millions of questions rising in my head all at once.

"I mean why weren't we informed before and every thing was just going fine with the company why will Theodore Sir sell the company to someone just like that."

Strange.

People don't just sell their company to someone over night and definitely not a company which is in profit and I have known Sir for two year now,  no matter how big of a flirt he was, the one thing  I have admired in him, apart from his looks, was his devotion towards the Company.

"I don't know. I am really afraid. What about our job security will the new owner fire us all?"she asked in a frightened voice.

That set another tide of panic to roll in my head.

"NO! Of course not, he can't do that to us and Theodore sir must have had an agreement with the new owner. He just can't disappear on us like this without offering us any job security." Oh God, what kind of coward does that? We are walking here on thin ice and he is no where to be seen, left us all alone to deal with this absurd shit.

You are better than this Theodore, or at least I think you are, but then again its already an established fact that I am not the best at judging people. The living example of it being Agustin bastard DeLuca.

And what's more, I am already in debt to this company. What if the new owner asks me to pay it all at once?

All the air got stuck at some part of my jammed throat.

God No.

Tell me he can't do that after all I have a contract drawn to pay it off in one years. He can't go against the contract that must be illegal. I am not having a good feeling about all this.
