POV SNAPP
I was just about to enter my study this morning, and I saw that girl-- Cilia. Already standing by the door to greet me.
"Good morning young master Snapp..." Greeted Mrs. Seina who happened to be there too. But I couldn't take my eyes off the girl. He looks so shy. He kept his head down and seemed reluctant to look at me.
"Good morning." He also greeted stiffly. At the same time, he raised his head. Our eyes met. The next second his eyes seemed to notice something. Did he notice I changed the color of my tie this morning? May I take it as a sign that he cares for me?
"Morning Miss Cilia..." Jonathan suddenly interrupted. Greet him cheerfully. And strangely, I suddenly felt tight.
"It must be tough, to be young master Snapp's assistant?"
"No... no, it's not heavy."
Jonathan managed to tease her until the girl's white cheeks turned pink. His expression looks so loose. It's very different when dealing with me, he bows his head more.
Did I scare him?
"I still have your love letter, do you still want to take it back?" Jonathan seemed to be able to make the flower buds bloom. Again, Cilia blushed at him.
I should just get used to seeing this scene. But why does my chest slowly feel hot, like it just came out of a boiling furnace?
I don't understand what's happening to me.
"Regarding a resignation letter as a love letter, are you really that short of work?"
I shouted at Jonathan as soon as we entered my room. I can't stand to express my frustration that I've been trying so hard to hold back.
Jonathan just chuckled amused at my chatter. As if he didn't want to take it seriously, he sat on my desk, sipping my coffee casually. "I was just wondering, why did you suddenly hire a new employee to be your assistant?" That question actually made me feel like I was dying of lice.
Is this man currently interrogating me? After that managed to make me bleed.
"Because He has the ability."
"Many have abilities." He denied it while issuing a meaningful smile. I knew I would never win if I had to argue with him.
"Because I like seeing him." That's great, he must be happy now to get the answer he wants.
"Oh..."
"I like quiet." I continue
I thought he wouldn't react. But after seeing her laugh full of ridicule. I just realized. He was playing with me apparently.
"So... you think the woman you've been around all this time, is too crazy about you." As I thought, this is indeed his goal, I just let him be satisfied mocking me. "Has he ever rejected you?" He continued laughing.
I don't know, this time I'm reluctant to answer the question. Or actually, I don't know how to answer it. I just feel that women are different.
"Gosh... I didn't expect a woman to end up not being attracted to you. Hahaha." The man really looked happy to see me who couldn't move.
If you don't remember he's my friend, I feel like punching him to stop his annoying laugh.
Unfortunately, I can't do that, it's just not my style.
"Don't want this month's bonus?" Because I have a more precise way to reply. Ha ha.

Cilia POV
I'm currently working with Hana's secretary. We're doing a tour around my office... err I mean our workspace later. Yes... because starting today we have become teammates.
"Miss Silia, as Mr. Snapp's personal assistant there is a lot to do. The company's working hour is 9 am. But we have to arrive 30 minutes early." While walking around, Miss Hana explained what I needed to know.
"Well." I'm busy writing down what I need to write in my agenda book. So that I don't forget and can remember it always.
"And... that empty table over there is your desk." I followed his index finger. "In this case room, there are only three people, including me, you, and one more, manager Jonathan." He continued to explain.
After that, I tried to sit at my new desk for the first time. I can't believe I got promoted so quickly. Honestly, I feel happy and sad at the same time. I don't know what happened to Alya. Suddenly he silenced me for no reason. Yesterday, I asked him to have lunch together, but he hastily refused. Is it because I'm here now? Closer to the young master Snapp he has always admired?
Miss Hana is known as a beautiful woman but very cold. He would only smile at young master Snapp. The working atmosphere here is so awkward. I feel like I miss the working atmosphere in the finance department a little bit. Even though there are a lot of people there who hate me. But there is Alya who makes me not feel lonely again.
"Already used to the new job?"
I was busy daydreaming when suddenly a voice startled me from behind.
Snapp...
My reflex turned around, making our eyes meet again. With… this close, I felt like I had just been drowned at the bottom of the ocean making it hard for me to breathe.
"Reasonable." My lips trembled again with nervousness.
The expression on his face that likes to change, makes me confused and scared at the same time. A second ago he had just looked at me with soft but piercing eyes. Then the next second he looked at me firmly and seriously. "Next time, if I ask you a question, you just have to say yes or no. I don't like hearing vague answers like that. Got it?"
Instantly I was suffocated by the air around me. I can even feel my palms getting cold. Is he intimidating me?
"Yes." I slowly answered.
The corners of his lips now form a thin line. His eyes gleamed meaningfully. "I want the right answer." Obviously, it was an order, it seemed like he really wanted to test me.
If so fine...
"Within a week, I will definitely get used to this place, I will also do my best. And you will not regret choosing me." I said everything loudly and firmly, even though my chest was filled with nervousness. Because I was determined. To not lose to my own circumstances and feelings.
My eyes blinked really fast as Snapp leaned back toward me. I slowly stepped back to avoid him, but he continued to chase me, making my back finally hit the wall, followed by his hands that were placed against the wall locking me. I'm stuck and can't move. His warm, mind-scented breath began to be inhaled by my nose.
"Erm... Snapp, I mean young master Snapp. I... I... please don't do this."
"Why?"
I closed my eyes with my body started to tremble. My fear must have been clearly visible in his eyeballs, but he had no intention of letting me go. I even felt the distance between us getting closer. I don't know what would have happened if someone didn't hurry up and thwart this playboy action.
"Snaps..."
The sound startled him and made him turn his head to the source of the sound. As for me... I can finally breathe a sigh of relief because he finally failed to steal my first kiss.
Oh... gosh... almost...
