Even though it has been not so long since Cindy got to the office, she is already tired. She could barely sit on her chair when her telephone rang, it was Mark.
Cindy: Yes Sir?
Mark: Come to my office right now.
Cindy: okay sir.
Cindy got worried, she thought if she did anything wrong. 'It's still early in the morning... what did I do?', Cindy thought.
She walked to Chairman's office and stood outside the room for awhile, trying to gather up the courage. She took a deep breath and knocked.
Mark: come in.
'It doesn't seem like he is mad from his voice...' Cindy thought.
Cindy walked in, "You called me?"
Mark: Yes, I've got a new task for you.
Cindy's nervous expression turned into a smile real quick, after a long time she got a major task to complete.
Mark: You know singer Emilia Love?
Cindy: yes, she is one of my favorite.
Mark: You'll have to interview her for our new issue. She released an album a week ago and she wants to promote it. This time you'll have to cover on the making of the Album and who the songs are about.
Cindy didn't quite like the idea about how media tries to know about someone's personal life but this was the only way for her to earn bread.
Cindy: Yes sir, when is the interview?
Mark: you'll have to contact her assistant and manage a date. Make sure it's interesting.
Cindy: Yes sir, I'll do my best.
Mark: Hmm, Did Mia submit the new chapter of Wisteria Garden comic?
Cindy: Not yet, I contacted her yesterday, she said she is sick.
Mark: pressurize her, deadline is almost near.
Cindy: Yes sir, anything else?
Mark: No, you can leave.
Cindy elegantly walked out of the room, as she closed the door behind her she jumped up from excitement. She quickly walked to her desk and packed her bag. She whispered to herself," I'm gonna get this right".

Matthew: What are you doing here early in the morning?
Melissa: I brought you a breakfast.
Melissa put the bento on the table and opened her hoodie.
Melissa: You owe me a big time.
Matthew rolled his eyes and replied, "It wasn't necessary, how do you know I didn't have my breakfast?"
Melissa: I called Aunt Rhodey, she told me.
Matthew: I told you to not interfere in my stuff.
Melissa: I left you alone for few days and you were hospitalized, you think I'll trust your words again?
Matthew shrugged and gave in.
Matthew: Hope you concealed yourself properly, I don't want anyone to know about our relationship.
Melissa: How ashamed are you of me?
Matthew: It's better this way.
Melissa: No matter how much I care for you'll never trust me.
Melissa looked away trying not to meet his eyes.
Matthew: it's in the blood.
Matthew smirked.
