Chapter 4

The elevator doors pinged and opened as I sighed contented and stepped out feeling a million times better than I did before lunch.

My smile wavered a fraction when the thoughts of the mystery blur I keep seeing flashed through my mind, but did I really see him?

I shake my head trying to rid the thought.

'Did Eric not do a good job?' Jessica asked as I passed her desk. 'I mean I think you look fantastic, but are you not...'

' Oh no I love it' I quickly said not meaning to cut her off, 'it's fantastic as always thanks Jess'

I winked at her as I carried on back to my office.

My office.

Where the piles are endless.

I took a deep breath and rolled my eyes, the piles of papers I had cleared this morning seemed to be back, with avengence!

I flopped down in my chair placing my bag under the table.

Now where to begin?

Just as I was about to start tackling the piles on my desk, Tyler burst through my door

'Bella, please tell me you have the files related to the big case they started this morning?' He pleaded.

'I don't know Tyler, I'm not sure, I haven't seen it this morning, surely it's been filed away?'

I looked at him questioning, he was viciously shaking his head,

'no, no, parts are missing; Marcus is on the war path'

Oh shit! When Marcus wasn't happy he made everyone's life a living hell.

'Can you check your files to see if they have been filed wrong by accident?'

'Sure Tyler I will get right on it'.

With a smile and a nod of his head he rushed off from my door.

Shaking my head and blowing out a breath I started to thoroughly search the masses on my desk.

I must have been really engrossed in my work because I did not hear Marcus enter my office.

'So Miss Swan, working hard I see?'

At the sound of his voice I jumped a mile, my heart racing from the shock.

'Yes sir, always sir' I replied eagerly.

'No need to be so jumpy Miss Swan, you have nothing to be worried about', he smiled a wicked smile.

'Yes sir' I said smiling back and nodding my head, 'can I help you with anything sir?'

He stared at me, like he was imagining me in ways he shouldn't be.

'Well actually Miss Swan I seem to have some missing paperwork, have you seen it?'

I swallowed hard, I hadn't come across any of the missing information that Tyler had asked me about.

'Is that the papers for the case that started this morning, because Tyler asked me to look and I have not found anything as yet sir'

I took a deep breath to keep myself calm, hoping Marcus didn't notice. He makes me really nervous and uncomfortable.

He took a deep breath as he pinched the bridge of his nose with his eyes closed.

'It's really important I get that paperwork Isabella' I swallowed hard, 'there will be consequences if it is not found, I trust if you found out any information as to its where abouts you will let me know?' He finished off with a smile that sent shivers down my spine

'Yes sir, of course sir' I replied whilst nodding.

Then he was gone.

I don't know who is scarier, Marcus or the imaginary stalker I seem to have?

Will he be waiting for me when I leave?

I wish I knew if he was real!

I sighed with relief dropping my head to look at the floor, if he is real, why is he following me?
