Unknown number: You're dead! Soon!

"Lorence, here's your clothes"

"Oh, Erika? Thank you!"

"This is lovely!" she's looking at my white dress.

"You can have that!" I said seriously. I have a lot and I can't wear them always.

"Really? Wow!"

"Yeah! Anyway, let's have our sleepover later!" I said and pick a dress.

"That looks good on you!" she said lively.

"He choose this one!" I sadly utter while looking at my reflection.

"I'll change now, let's have fun later!" I said and go at the comfort room.

He's not here yet, it's my first day at work and I'm excited but the excitement fades away, nervous and fear were jubilantly replace the feeling that I must feel right at this moment.

Why love cause so much trouble?

I fixed my hair and after that I eat with them but everything's done without Raze, he's not home yet. I didn't receive any notification from him.

I call but he's not answering, I leave him a message yet I get nothing for the response.

"You're going?" it's mother Sharn.

"Yeah! this is my first day and I don't want to go there late." I explain and smile, I force to smile.

"keep safe!" she added.

"Bye mother Sharn, see you later!" I wave goodbye before entering the shotgun seat.

The trip went smooth and fast.

"Thanks Sebastian!" I said before I close the door.

I sigh before I continue walking. The guard greeted me, it's still Philip. I greet back before heading inside.

"Good morning Cath!"

"Hi Catherine, Good morning!" they greeted me.

"Good morning guys!" I smile widely, I really feel welcome that made me feel at ease.

I'm smiling, thanks to them.

I check my phone, there's a still no notification from Raze.

I hope he's fine.

"Owh! here's the queen!" it's Liza who run towards me and give me a hug as I reach our room, teams room to be exact.

"Hi, good morning. Good morning everyone!" I greet them.

I put my bag at my table and sat with everyone at the discussion table. I'm with the team alpha, we have a project now to create a new game for iOS and Android. We have to create a character now and we already plan for it so, I go at my cubicle and start with my digital art but yeah! I do first sketch for me to make it easy.

Around 9am they call me for a break so we went at Litdinner, a place like cafeteria.

"Cath this is one of the reason why I love Texno, imagine the boss is handsome too be honest, please don't get mad." Cassy said smiling.

"It's fine" I respond and fake a laugh. I'm still worried about Raze.

"Thanks and in addition there's a free snacks and lunch, in noon time there's a free snacks too like we're a kindergarten class plus there's a free dinner if we have a work overtime" she added with a smile and others agree then start to tell their experience here in Texno.

I look around to see if there's a shadow of Raze but my sight couldn't find him. I check again my phone and there's nothing new than Ivor's message. He said good morning and send a picture oh him. That's it. Raze! What's wrong with you?

He really made me worry.

"Hey! Cath!"

"ah! Yeah?" did I space out?

"I ask if what you want?" Cassy said and chuckle.

"Ah! I'll take iced coffee and chips." I reply and hide my phone.

We occupy a table for six since we're six members in the team.

"Hey! You're okay?"

"Oh! Y-yeah!" I reply at Ranz, he was the only man in the team, he sat at the seat in front of me.

"You're gawk looking at the table while playing your fingernails. Are you sure you're okay?" he added

"A-ah that's just a habit and I'm just sleepy!" I reason out and smile.

I'm really distracted right now, I need to know if he's fine.

While waiting the order Ranz starts to talk to me through sharing his favorite game that Texno ever created.

A game where it's available on PC and in mobile but in a little bit different in version. The game was called "The impostor" a game where there's a hundred of task and upgrading, it's a team game and while doing a task you have to hurry or else the impostors team may found your team and take your teams life but the twist is that the other members from your team can defend the member who do the task from the level 1 to eternity level.

If they're able to protect the mind members or the member who do the task then the team may end up stealing the rivals life and gain gems to upgrade the defense and upgrade the IQ section that instantly give a hint and map for the next adventure or next task.

"Wow! I love this game" I utter while playing, yeah! I downloaded the game and play it with the team alpha, luckily the members who can play was minimum of 6. We're playing 6 vs 24 now because there's a lot of team who can play.

"Shit! Ranz defense!" Cassy yell while still looking at her phone. I'm just doing a task now.

I'm doing a puzzle with a 50 pieces, I guess. It's kinda hard but it's exciting. The game was a mind game and also fit for all who love action games like using swords and guns... there's a cars and helicopter too to travel for the next task.

Good thing for this game is that we're just like traveling around while enjoying things.

"Kyaah! Wooah! We play for almost an hour!" Liza stretch her body while I massage my fingers, it feels numb. I hope my heart too, so it can't feel more pain. :(

"Let's go back guys!" Ranz said like informing us that the break was over.

"Let's go!" they replied lively while I just grab my chips and eat.
