Narration: Sylvia walked into the house slamming the door behind her. She walked into the living room and her grandparents' eyes were on her.

Sylvia: Hey everyone. I will be in my room if anyone needs me.

Gramps: Hold it there, young lady; you didn't even seem excited walking into this house, what happened?

Sylvia: Nothing much, just a normal second day at work.

Gran: Coming from someone like you, there is something definitely wrong. Spill.

Sylvia: Gran, I would love to but I am frustrated as hell. Can I just go to my room?

Gramps: Darling, let her be. Maybe she got into a fit with someone.

Gran: I will need you to help me make dinner do you think that you would be able to do that for me?

Sylvia: Yeah, anytime. I just need to clear my head.

Narration: Sylvia walked out of the living room and up into her bedroom. She locked the door and collapsed on her bed. She reached for her phone and saw a message from Kira.

Kira: Hey girl, I will be coming over soon. You need to tell me more about your new job.

Narration: She slapped her head and sighed then she got up and stripped off her clothes to slip into a cotton t-shirt and a jean bum short. She grabbed her phone and laid back on the bed.

Narration: After minutes of using her phone, a knock came on her door. She looked at the time and found that it is few minutes after six in the evening. She sat up from the bed and walked up to the door only to see her gran.

Gran: Well, it is thirteen minutes past six. Meet me in the kitchen and Kira is here. She wanted to come up but I told her that you don't want to be disturbed.

Sylvia: Yes, Gran, I will be down soon.

Narration: She shut the door after her Gran left and walked into her bathroom to rinse her face. She walks out of her room and walks down into the living room.

Sylvia: Hey Kira, how are you doing?

Narration: She walks forwards and hugs her best friend.

Kira: I am fine, what about you? Are you alright? I wanted to come up your gran insisted that you were insistent on not being disturbed.

Sylvia: I will tell you all about it later. It was nothing actually, don't get yourself riled up about it. You staying for dinner?

Kira: I would not miss it for the world. I actually came over for the night. I suppose that I should have put that in the text.

Sylvia: Don't worry, you are welcome here anytime.

Gran: Girls, you don't expect an old lady like me to do the dishes alone do you?

The girls: Coming Gran.

Narration: the food is prepared and the entire Werner family is at the table with Kira.

Gramps: So, Silver; what was bugging you this afternoon when you returned from work?

Sylvia: Gramps! I don't want to talk about it.

Dad: What does he mean that something was bugging you? what is it?

Sylvia: Nothing. My dad was great. I was actually promoted.

Kira: Wow on a second day, that is great. Congratulations.

Ethan: Beats me, on a second day you are already promoted.

Sylvia: What is that supposed to mean?

Ethan: Nothing, which post were you promoted to?

Sylvia: I was made the Personal Assistant to the CEO.

Kira: Okay, I am starting to see sense in what Ethan said. A second day and you are already the CEO PA. There is definitely something fishy about it.

Ethan: Finally, someone who has sense like I do. Only you know what you did to him to make him give a job that close…perhaps something intimate?

Narration: Sylvia's dad nudged Ethan in the ribs while Gran tapped his back hushing him.

Sylvia: I will just play the deaf person tonight. Well, I arrived at his office and dressed his foot mat and when I came in, I complained about my new job and then he gave me another vacant job as his PA.

Ethan: So you are saying that there was no kissing involved?

Kira: Okay, Ethan I may have stood by you before but I wouldn't go that far.

Sylvia: Ignore him, I always do. Besides, that job of the PA Was the first one that he had offered me yesterday just that I declined it and told his that he is a hard man for anyone to put up with.

Ethan: And you returned and he gave you the job and you accepted. Definitely fishy.

Sylvia: You know, on second thought, I don't think I have any appetite anymore.

Gran: Sweetie ignore him and sit down.

Dad: Darling, eat your food and ignore Ethan.

Narration: Sylvia ignored all their pleas and left the table for her room with her food untouched.

Dad: Just look at what you have done, you got her upset.

Gramps: I don't think he is the only one. That was how she looked when she returned from work. I suppose that Ethan isn't the first person to tell her such.

Kira: I will talk to her.

Narration: Kira stands up and grabs both her plate of food and Sylvia's and heads for Sylvia's room.

Kira: Sylvia, open the door.

Narration: The door swung open and Kira walked in and handed Sylvia her food.

Sylvia: Thanks, I just couldn't eat there with Ethan stupid remarks.

Kira: So you knew that I was going to bring up your food?

Sylvia: Well you are my best friend, I hoped for you to do it, if not I would have raided the kitchen at night.

Kira: So tell me, why were you pissed this afternoon, is it because of people's remark to your new position?

Sylvia: No, you know I don't care about stuff like that. I met this guy who took me out for lunch to The Golden Dragon Cuisine.

Kira: Wow, I suppose he must have been handsome and loaded to take you to a place like that.

Sylvia: Handsome? Yes, but he wasn't loaded. As a matter of fact, the person was hired to do all that.

Kira: Oh my God, did you know who hired him?

Sylvia: Yep and guess what, it was the same person who had hired me to be his personal assistant.

Kira: Why would he do something like that?

Sylvia: Obviously he wanted to spy on me and find out if I am trustworthy enough to be his personal assistant.

Kira: Well, so much for a promotion. I need to take a shower. I will be visiting a friend of my parents' tomorrow and your place is a lot closer to their than mine and I also wanted to spend time with you than in that mansion of a home.

Sylvia: I am sure that it must be very lonely there. Well, you know where the shower is.

Kira: Yeah thanks.

Narration: Kira enters the bathroom and a knock came on her door.

Sylvia: It is open.

Narration: The door swings open and she sighs as Ethan walks into the room.

Ethan: Hey sis. Emm, as for what happened downstairs, I was just being a jerk.

Sylvia: A big one at that.

Ethan: I deserved that. But I was only making a joke. I didn't mean to hurt you, I am sorry.

Sylvia: Apology accepted.

Ethan: Where is Kira?

Sylvia: In the bathroom. Et, will you be home early tomorrow?

Ethan: Not sure. Any problem?

Sylvia: Nope. There is something that I just wanted to tell you.

Ethan: I will see what I can do. Good night.
