Followed by the Chaotic Creature
In the Office Alone

The clock on the wall already showed almost half 7am. This hour is usually crowded.

"I think the heavy rain had trapped them in the street. So many will be late." I said guessing, stepping in ahead of Jho.

"It could be so" Jho agreed and turned on the room lights.

I walked to the locker in the separate room, I put the bag and locked it. And when I get back to the room..

Jho is not.

'where is he?' I looked around the room.

"Jho!" I tried calling. No one's saying.

"Did he go to the toilet ?" I guessed.

This room is not really that big. It consists of a cube-shaped bulkhead that accommodates twenty call center staff employees here.

I ventured to walk to my desk, tidying up and getting everything ready. I've been wearing the headset. I started online to get rid of my fears. At least I'm connected to someone out there.

First call in. I answered the call like a call center staff well. However, the crisp sound from my headset was disturbing.

The headset is broken, I thought to myself. I try to focus on finishing the conversation with the customer as soon as possible and improving it. As soon as the conversation ended I immediately removed my headset.

but, uh,

Srek srek

His voice still sounded in my ears ?!

I listened to him again carefully looking for the source of his voice.

'That sound is not from my headset!' pekikku in my heart.

It sounded as if it was very close to my right ear. There was something right next to me. Like the sound of something being dragged.

I looked to the side.

There ain't!

There's nothing! Except for my reflection on that dark glass wall. I breathed a sigh of relief for a moment.

Kreeeeats!

This time it was different from my back. I recognize what that sound is.

It was like the sound of a newly occupied chair. I'm sure no one was here.

'Should I look back, make sure there's nothing there?'

I turned around and the room lights suddenly went out.

I watched in the dark. There was someone sitting in the chair in front of me, looking at me in the dark, but because it was a bit far away and dark I could not see clearly his face.

"Who's there?" I exclaimed.

The man was silent and did not answer.

"Jho?" I called again. Suppose it might be Jho who was pranking me, but there was no answer.

"Stop joking Jho! It's not funny!"

I walked over to the wall to revive the light switch. I looked at the chair earlier. Empty?

There was no one, but the chair turned around as if someone had just sat down. Fear began to stir me.

The crane! The incoming call sounded.

I walked to my desk again to answer.

"Good morning with help?" For a moment I realized the phone's ringing was not from my desk.

I walked towards the phone ring. I think someone in charge of the night shift forgot to turn off the online button. The online button is turned on if we are ready to receive incoming phone calls. Offline to reject all incoming calls.

"Hallo?" The phone's closed.

"Ring! The ring!" Now all the phone rings sound to each other. Make a noise that fills the ears.

My hunch is not good. I closed my ears and ran quickly to the door without looking. And bugs!

Ow hell!

I hit something and fell to the floor. After I noticed again it turned out that I collided with Sofi who was about to enter while I wanted to get out.

"You're nothing at all, Mel?" sofi asked in surprise, rubbing her head.

I'm rising. "Sorry! I was in a hurry so don't see you coming in."

"What are you doing at the door? Not in?" jho said confusedly watching the two of us stifled in the doorway.

"Jho!" Excruciate. "Where have you been? Lookingforyou?"

"I just got back from the toilet. What's up ?" the answer.

I knew they were both looking at me with a confused feeling. For a moment they looked at each other and looked back at me suspiciously. They grinned.

"Are you scared of Mel ?" goda Sofi while elbowing me softly.

"No." I deny.

"Honest of all. You were in a hurry to get out of fear, weren't you ?" Sofi. The three of us went inside.

"There's nothing, sof." I walked away from him and went back to my desk.

Sofi sat beside me. The sound of a chair creaking as Sofi sat down on him. Reminds me of that voice.

"Remain short of stories?"

I'm shaking. There's no point in me telling you either.

"What's? Whahuh? " Neni who doesn't know when it's coming has emerged from behind the cube in front of me. Follow our conversation. His small head was perched on top of the cube wall.

a few employees have started arriving.

Sofi told me about me running scared out until I collided with her. And Neni chimed in with another story.

"Eh, horrors he said mr. security at night watch as well.." They both gossip too.

Neni likes stories like that. Moreover, the floor where we work counted new.

The room that was once an old warehouse was transformed into a nice and clean workspace, but still did not leave a haunted impression. Horror and mystical stories are in demand among the employees. A story with no clear basis, which spread from mouth to mouth.

I watch the clock on the wall. Almost showed at 7. The atmosphere of the room began to get crowded. Sofi and Neni had already stopped gossiping. We started to focus on working.

"Good morning, with me Melya, can we help you?" I took the call and tried to focus. Get rid of all that was useless from my mind.

Where I work is a company engaged in online trading. Although not a big company but quite a lot of interest.

An hour passed. The rain may have subsided but the room remained cold. I took off my shoes. My toes are still cold. My gaze turned to the computer screen as the incoming call rang out in my head.

'What is this?'

I thought hard watching something I could hardly believe was on my computer screen.

What phone number is this ?

I looked back at the phone number on my computer screen. A phone number that looks foreign and random. Is there a phone number like this? Or is this a call from abroad? Rather than this phone number it is more like a random row of numbers.

"Good morning?" I tried to answer the call.

Sing..

Silence was heard from across the room.

"Good morning? With me Melya, can anyone help?" I tried to say hello back. Still no answer.

Just a prank phone. I'll close the call immediately.

And the strange phone number came in calling back.
