Julia's POV
I tapped my fingers on my desk as I watched their interaction through my laptop. It's already been 3 weeks they not talked to each other. They only talked if they had to. Cecilia so far already done a good job. "Are you busy?"
I hold ctrl and press tab twice and refresh the page. "Y-yeah... it's fine." Ashley put another blue map on my desk. I picked the map and read another weekly report from my department store. I put back the map and sighed.
"Why all my department store not working properly!?" I took a deep breath, leaned my back. "I don't know why... commoners like to visiting the lounge and spending their money there! Game center also popular among them. All the stores inside there will closed, and I will loss million of dollars!" Ashley fill my tea, sighed.
"What do you think about... online store?" Huh? Online store? "My whole family were Albert's dog for decades, and you not making progress there because you... too old." I took a deep breath and massaging my temple.
"You're family is not Albert's dog, Ashley! I never..." there's no point arguing with her right now. I think she pissed with him. She took a deep breath and exhale.
"I'm sorry to bringing up my problem to this office." She said as put the tea pot back to it's place.
I'm nodding my head, sighed. "You want take a day off tomorrow?" I ask. Ashley took a deep breath, sighed, then pulled a chair to sit next to me.
"What about you? Will you be fine?" I can see wrinkle between of her eyes.
I straightened my body and holding her hand. "You haven't take a leave yet, Ash. You should take care of yourself." I'm looking into her eyes and smiling.
"No one Albert's treat me like you do, Julia. I hope..." I took a deep breath and smiled on her. She wipes her tears and cleared her throat.
Cecilia's POV
"Come in!" I opened the door. I should tell her this. "Are you already decide yet?" I took a deep breath and sits in front of her.
Flashback on
I opened my apartment door and she brings me a groceries. "Julia, I know you're my friend, but this is too much!" Julia took out all the items she bought as if she deaf.
I scoffed and walked to the living room and turned on the Tv. "Pitch Perfect 2? Spoiler alert, Barden Bellas has new member. I've been binge watched that franchise yesterday." I rolled my eyes as she passed me a bowl of popcorn.
I turned off the Tv and put the bowl on the coffee table. She already ruined my mood. "What!?" I'm trying to control my anger towards this woman in front of me. She's my boss, but she acted like she wants me.
"Please, go home. I already sober enough because of you, so... can you please just... tell me why you care so much with my relationship?!" She took a deep breath, sighed. "I know you care about me, but... it's too far, Julia! At least tell me why were you care about my relationship?!"
Julia snatched the remote and turned on the Tv, played the movie and paused. "Can I tell you a story?" A story?! What do you mean? I only... "there's a... childhood friend. L-let's just called the first man named Carl and the woman named Jill."
I hugged the pillow next to me as she devoured the popcorn. "Carl fell in love with Jill, and he would do everything to get her heart. One day, Jill introduce a man named Josh to him, and she said Josh was her boyfriend. Carl was heartbroken by the news." She took a deep breath and sighed.
Why I could feel her story was strange? It's a real story, or she made it up? Her stare feel so distance. "Inside Carl's heart he wanted her to be his, but... what can else he can do!? Nothing! Except, he should accept the fate. So, Carl promising to himself, he will made her happy if it's sacrifice his feeling for Josh. He would do everything to keep her happy with everyone she choose."
Her story more like a confession rather than a drama and romance fiction. She stands up and grabbed her jacket. "I'll gave you time to think. You can call me, visiting to my office, or my apartment. Wherever you want to meet me I'll be there!"
"Even I want to meet you in the middle on the sea?" I asked her.
She's nodding her head. It sound strange for a friend. Argh! Why I kept overthinking about my boss!? Well, never mind. Maybe I just... don't feel like myself today.
I pressed the play button and furrowed my brow. Why... Argh! Julia! I really want to kill you!

I took a deep breath as I'm looking at his straight face. "make a reservation call to Triple J's Kitchen on 12.00 PM." He said as he put another map on my desk.
I'm nodding my head as I proceed to his request. After all, I just doing my job as his dog. Huff... until when I should stuck inside this office with him?!
Oh my God! He literally a douche. Maybe... I should... "can you... lowering your music, please? My ears were bleeding!"
What!? They make your ears bleeding? Fine! I'm increasing the music volume and sing in Korea. I faded heard a groans. He puts his earphone. Maybe... I should have a revenge on him.
It's already been 3 weeks. Julia stopped visiting me since she told me that story. Speaking of witch, maybe... she can help me to take a revenge to him.
At least, made him regret and took back his words. I connected my laptop to his earphone, then logged out. "I want to go to the toilet."
I ran off as he growled at me. "Hey! Get back here, bitch!" I closed the door to avoiding he chasing me, then locked the door from the outside. Now, who's the real bitch, huh?! I never felt so great than before.
Right, Julia. I should meet her before she changed her mind.
Flashback off
I'm wringing my hand and sighed. "Okay, I want you to... help me to get him back, but in one condition!"
Julia raised her eyebrow and smile draw on her face. "What is it?"
"Answer my question with honestly. You should take your words on the bible while..." She puts a bible on her desk and put her right hand on the top of the cover and raised her left hand. She keeps a bible in her office?!
"I'm... Julia Albert promise will answer Ms. Cecilia Castello's questions with honesty. If I broke my promise, the truth will revealed... t-to itself!" I rolled my eyes and looked away. Why suddenly I want to laugh!?
Julia's POV
From now on... I should be careful with her. I always keep my dad's bible in this office just in case this would happened. Turns out, it really happened.
