The Paperweight

CHAPTER I

It was a clean, neatly-furnished room with the ambience of importance and smartness. A glossy wooden table stood on the floor, all white and shiny. The curtai s were drawn, but tha walls were actually made of glass. It was a somewhat messy room, with lots of stray papers here and there, but it was still cleaner than most rooms. It was not an ordinary one, it was the one of Miss Elizabeth Fleming, a young lady in her twenties, with lots of thick auburn hair and electric blue eyes. Her face was pretty, but she was not a woman to get blown away by praise. She the founder of ‘The Fleming association of Quantum Physics’ or TFQP, a world-known organization, in the city of Los Angeles.

It was almost ten by her watch. The lights were on, and she was reading a document, her face scrunched up, her eyebrows furrowed. It was an important document, it was the official patent of the newly invented type of a machine. Nobody else in the whole world knew about her invention, except some of her extremely trusted people. When she had finished reading it, she leaned back and closed her eyes.

” Have you sent the emails to all of the people I asked you to send to?”

“Yes , You need not worry”.

” Good, now get these papers stamped and do what you need to do after that. And yes, mum will come here, so we have to pick her up”

There was a boldness and power in her voice had dominated others. And that was true, she came from a poor family, she gave her heart and soul in her studies, broke all barriers of the society and today, she was sitting in this room, the room of the founder and CEO of TFQP. She deserved this.

The other man, her brother-cum-secretary,took away the papers and went away, shutting the door behind him. It quite once again and Elizabeth started packing up. It was eleven.
