Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Rachel was stuck in the archive room all night long.

When the clock struck nine the next morning, a group of people including Ivy thundered into the room.

Ivy put her hands on her waist as she said, "Time is up.I need those materials right now!"

The smug smile on her face showed that she was sure Rachel wouldn’t have completed her task.Rachel stifled a yawn and pointed to the nearest corner.

"They’re right there," she said in a flat tone.

Ivy turned to look at the corner and saw two middle-sized cartons.

As they were not sealed yet, she could see they were full to the brim.

The smile froze on Ivy’s face.

This couldn’t be! That kind of workload would take three people a week to finish.

How could Rachel tackle it in such a short time? She glared at Rachel.

"That’s impossible! How did you finish all that so quickly?"

Rachel leaned back and crossed her arms.She looked at Ivy with one eyebrow raised.

"So you are aware that the task you assigned me was too much for such a short deadline?"

Her voice was light, as if they were having a friendly conversation.

Ivy looked stunned for a moment and just a little bit guilty.

She snapped out of it quickly though and retorted, her voice raised as if that could make her seem more confident.

"Nonsense.It was just a figure of speech.Anyway, you’re not fooling anyone.Do you think you can just stuff random documents into the boxes? I will check them all, one by one.If I find anything amiss, I will report you to Mr.Sullivan! Then you can kiss your job goodbye!"

"Be my guest," Rachel replied, shrugging and waving her hand towards the boxes.

Seeing Rachel so calm and composed, Ivy was on high alert.She had endured the disdain and contempt of the upstairs employees too long.

It wasn’t easy to get out of this depressing, underground archive room and finally have the authority to order someone- Rachel, that is – around, just like everyone else had done to her before.

‘Rachel should just be a good dog and do as I say!’ Ivy thought, fuming.She gritted her teeth and barked an order to the people behind her.
