Cecilia's POV
I'm looking myself in mirror and picked another clothes to put on, but no one fit for me. Maybe... I should wearing a casual one, or... a sexy one in case he wants to stop by to have a couple of drinks. My phone ringing.
Maybe it's Andrew again. I sighed, sit on the couch, and accepts the call. "Hello?" I rolled my eyes as I heard Jerry cleared his throat.
"I know it's your day off, but... can you come to the office now? I-I need help with the report." I rolled my eyes and hung up the call and exhale. Why the office should've hired him and put him in the higher position. It should be me.
I dedicated workers who worked for 4 years without a raised. Should I complain to her!? Since the rumor said she the daddy's daughter, but who am I? I'm not her girlfriend or best friend. Huff... I should go back to work?
I hope I can meet Marco there. I get up, grabbed my key car, purse, ID card, car key, and my laptop. I think who will like to work on Saturday!? It's only the workaholic like him will do that.

I walked to the receptionist desk to asking for information. "Um... hey. I forgot to bring my phone. Do you guys see Mr. Shelby logged in this morning?" No one asked except you have urgent matter with him.
"Do you have appointment with him?" She asked. I'm nodding my head. "Um... let me see in the system, first." I forgot to bring my phone, that's the reason I asked them. If I had my phone with me, maybe I'll texted him.
"He... logged off few hours ago. Do you want..."
"Ah, no thanks! I-I will called him through my desk." I'm walking rashly to the elevator and press the up button. I sighed and massaging my temple. Oh, God! Why you...
"Ms. Castello?" I'm turning my head back. What are she doing here!?
Julia's POV
I cleared my throat and standing next to her waiting for the elevator arrived. "Overtime work again?" I asked as I take a sip of this coffee. No wonder this coffee is cheap. Fuck. I shouldn't buy this coffee again.
Speaking of witch, why she's here? It supposed to be her day off, right? Does Jerry bullied her again!?
Cecilia's POV
"Uh..." the door opened, and Marco was there and he's not alone. "Oh, Ms... Albert, Ms. Castello?" He let go of his hand and this situation become awkward.
"Mr. Shelby, you want to having lunch, or..."
"W-we want to having lunch. Ms. Janice..." Jane looked down and gripping her corner blazer. "...she wants to go to have a coffee across this building... and I decide to... take a lunch together." A coffee, huh? I'm walking to the emergency stairs to where my office was.
"Ms. Castello!" I keep climbed down the stairs. What the fuck is that!? We haven't broke up yet. Holding hand and having a coffee together!? "Hey!" I tripped, but someone hold my back. My heart beating fast and sweat all over my body.
"You dropped your ID." She puts my ID card inside my jeans pocket, straightened my body. I gasped for air and tapped my chest several times. Oh, God.
Okay, for now, get this job done. I hope he still inside this office. "Thank you." She hummed and continued climbed the stairs. I took a deep breath and catches a breath. Next floor, I will take an elevator.
I'm not getting used to climbed stairs from lobby to 14th floor. Who wants to do that!? I'm lift my head, looking and I still hearing a footsteps from her. I dropped my jaw. Does she not getting tired!?
What the fuck she is!? She is a human, right? I took a deep breath and exhale. This ridiculous. I'm not overthink about it, somehow. I keep climbing stairs until I found another emergency door. I pulled the door and took a deep breath.
Ah... air. I walked to the elevator and waiting to arrive. "Do you know, Mr. Shelby from Accounting department?" I opening my ears. I'm looking at my wrist watch and exhale. Maybe, I should cancel the event with him.
Another missed event I should cancel. What a mess, doesn't it? I took a deep breath and keep eavesdropping their conversation. "His handsome, but... I guess he already have a girlfriend. Do you know Jane Janice from the same department with him?"
I keep looking for the elevator's arrival. Why it took it so long!? "They were dating?" words dating come out from their mouth. I only can hold my emotion by gripping my hand and clenching my jaw.
I'm his girlfriend. Not Jane! Why people though Jane is his girlfriend? The elevator arrived as they stopped gossiping about him and her dating. The elevator door opened, showed no one in there. Three of us gets inside and I pressed the button where's my office was.
I took a deep breath and exhale. It's just a rumor, right? Right now, I should calm and cleared my throat. Both of the women behind me, silence. No more words from them. "Sorry, do you have... a peppermint candy?"
No one dare to answer my question. They whispering and continue their gossips about someone else. I took a deep breath and exhale. I wish I could turned back the time where I on Kenneth's house and asking him to picked me up.
My floor was here. They followed me get out from the elevator and turn to right. I keep walking to the Jerry's office and.... I furrowed my brow to looked Jerry looked down as she scolding him. I knocked on the door and both of them looked at me.
"Am I..."
"Come in and close the door." She said without expression. I get inside of his office. I can smell a strong alcohol. Does he drunk!? I know it's Saturday's night, but... drinking while you working, it's against this company policies.
"Sit down, Ms. Castello." I sits on the chair in front of his desk. "Please answer my question honestly, Ms. Castello." She glared at me. I don't have any option here. I think, the rumor is true. She's the daddy's daughter.
"Does a man in front of me told you to come to this office!?" She asked as she pointing at him.
There's no better job, than this. I took a deep breath and nodding my head. People will looked at me as a snitch. "From now on, you fired and... starts Monday, you moved into his office." I widens my eyes.
What!? "I will called my dad and tell him about this incident." What the fuck is that!? "Cecilia?" I'm looking at her. "I begged you don't tell another people about... who the real me, okay? I just want a peace."
She gets out with a phone on he hand. I'm looking at Jerry, who was standing there and glared at me. "Because of you.... I lost my job!" I took a deep breath and exhale through my mouth. Okay, Cecilia. You heard the boss. I took a deep breath, grabbed my laptop and leaving the office.
Now, I can catch up Marco and Jane. They must be still at the cafe across this building.
