The Voice of an Evil – 6

Five months later…

The Smith Garment Factory started to boom in the markets and many got surprised especially their employees. She never thought that their business is going to be that successful in few months. 

Everyday, Belinda is very happy. This is the beginning of her dream. Her business was getting popular just like her brother’s business and she is very happy with that. 

She just need to remove her conscience because in able to succeed, she had to do sacrifices. 

After what she did to Alicia, the voice kept on asking her to do the same with a number of employees, who tried to raise voice against the evils and talked about hiring ghost busters, and she did exactly what the voice told her to.

She was not really a bad person but every time she saw millions written in a check she was used to throw all her conscience away.   

“SOMETHING is wrong here,” Annie said one day in the office canteen. 

“What is wrong?”  Sheila asked. 

“Everything”

“I don’t get you,” Fhaye said. 

It’s break time so they decided to stay at canteen. 

“Look around us.”

“What about it,” Sheila said. 

“The vendors look not like real people.”

“They are robots?”

“Maybe or…”

“Robots or…?” Fhaye asked. 

“Not real.”

“We don’t understand you.”

“The company started to boom when Alicia dies, right?”

“So you are telling us that Alice’s death is lucky for this company.”

“Yes.”

Sheila and Fhaye laugh. 

“Stop laughing everyone”

“Does it make any sense?”

“But it is true.”

“Off course not”

“This company becomes successful because this is the right time that we succeed. Aren’t you happy about that? You should because our boss gave us increase and it really help our family. Instead talking with that nonsense, it is better if you will start to think what the best gown is for you. You and Anthony will get married soon, you have to remember that.”

“I will be happier if Alicia is with us on that day.”

“Alicia is now with our creator.”

“Yes, I believe.” 

“Then, forget her. What you need today is focus to your life and forget the past. Alicia will only remain in our hearts and memories. She will not going to be happy wherever she are now if you always say her name. Move in. And if you do that, I believe that Alicia will be happy too.”

“You are right,” Fhaye said. 

“What?”

“They are not real.”

“What.”

“These ladies lay their eyes in one direction. Meaning…”

“Shut up,”
