Daddy’s Hot Sauce

After the class, Emily picked up all her stuff from the table. She was in a hurry to leave the class, and praying that the professor today might have changed tomorrow. When all the students went out, Emily didn’t even bother to say goodbye to her professor.

All she wanted was to get out of the room. She hated the man when they bumped at each other at the coffee shop but now she even hated him more this time. A couple of steps before she reached the door when someone spoke from behind.

“Miss Emily Smith?” a deep voice can be heard from behind.

Emily took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a second before she turned around and plastered a smile at him. “Yes Mr. Winston?” she asked.

Anders stood up wearing his glasses as he looked at her while his one hand was on his pants. He walked closer while he was staring at her. Emily suddenly felt the thump of her heart and as she watched him walking toward her, she was left dazed by his appearance, he was wearing a normal V-neck line tee shirt in grey. She blinked her eyes once again and when she opened her eyes, she was surprised by him, as he was too close at her.

Anders leaned over to see Emily and he was about to touch her hair but Emily stepped back. Anders immediately grabbed her waist when Emily almost tripped. Anders was staring at Emily’s eyes but Emily felt unease as he was holding her waist and their face was so closed to each other, that they could even breathe the air from each other’s mouth.

Emily let herself be lost in his arms. “What do you want?” she asked nervously.

Anders shrugged his shoulders. “I just want… never mind,” and went back to his table to fix those papers and folders. Emily wondered about it but in the end, she went out of the room and walked down the hallway.

Then her phone rang while waiting at the elevator. “Hi, babe. Are you done?” She immediately looked around and wondered.

“Yes, babe, I’m done.” She said and get in the elevator.

She pressed the button to close the elevator but suddenly a hand appeared in between the doors to make it stop from closing. The door opened itself and Emily saw her professor and now they’re both inside the elevator.

A couple of minutes had passed when the elevator had a creaked sound, then suddenly it stopped.

Emily widened her eyes and immediately pressed the button so many times. She took a deep breath a couple of times but nothing happened and it gets worse. Emily is a claustrophobic person, she could not be in one enclosed space for a long time, she panicked when the elevator stopped and hold her chest because she felt a lack of air at the moment.

“I… I can’t breathe.” She said while breathing heavily and holding her chest and leaned on the other side of the wall.

“What’s wrong?” Ander asked. He immediately went to her side and checked on her.

“Fuck! You’re claustrophobic?” he exclaimed as he noticed her heavy breaths.

Anders looked around to see if there was something that he could help for her. He could not find anything that’s why he screamed for help and punched the elevator’s door. Anders stood up and pressed the emergency button a couple of times. He even tried to fan her with his hand but it didn’t work.

Emily nodded and still holding her chest and was breathing heavily. She’s trying to open her eyes to make herself awake. She was looking at him as her eyes close slowly and didn’t know what happened afterward.

Anders immediately carried her out of the elevator when it opened and immediately call his assistant for help. The elevator stopped when the power shuts down because lightning struck the power generator. People in the building gathered outside for their safety and one of those people was Anders and Emily.

He was in a hurry to go outside the building, worried about Emily who’s still unconscious at this moment. When he arrived outside, George his assistant was there waiting for him and he immediately went inside the car and left the building. Emily opens up her eyes and stared at the ceiling, it was white with a touch of grey and black. She blinked her eyes a couple of times and suddenly realized that she was in another place.

Her eyes widened as she looked around the room. She looked at herself and she was thankful that her clothes were still on her. She firmly closed her eyes as she remembered what happened. A knocked on the door caught her attention while she was sitting on the side of the bed. “Come in,” she said. Then a man showed up and greeted Emily.

He was wearing a blue polo shirt with a recorder on his one ear. He walked inside and talked to Emily, his height made Emily looked up and wondered who was in front of her.

“Excuse me, but I need go home.” She said and stood up to get her things. The man just smiled at him and looked at her as she was fixing herself.

“How are you feeling now, Miss Emily?”

“I’m fine now, thanks and will you excuse me because I really need to go home,” She explained to the man in front of him.

“You can’t leave now Miss Emily, my boss wanted to talk to you at his office.” He said. Emily raised her brows at him.

“Why? Is there something important?” Then, made a gesture in front of Emily to walk outside the room.

“This way Miss Emily.” Emily sighed and nervous at the same time as she followed the man walking through the hallways. When the man stopped at the huge door, he knocked on the door and opened it up and then looked at her and made a gesture to Emily to get inside the room. A thump of her heart beats like a drum as she was stepping inside the room. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
