Julia's POV
I leaned my back as watched she approaching me in hurry. Seems like she got a big news? "Mrs. Yuki has an affair with Andrew! Now, I need your help to stalked him!"
This is interesting. "Mrs. Yuki from legal department?" She's nodding her head. I'm scratching my hair, exhale and looked at her in defeat. Does she realized my hands tied and it's not my jurisdiction.
How can I explain to her? Ken now is Andrew's boss. I know he know Andrew more than both of us, but I don't want to blow my covers just for this stalking thing. "Why are you just..."
Ashley comes in and my dad followed her behind.
Cecilia's POV
I bowed my head and walking outside from her office. Why she doesn't reply to my request? Does she needs time? "Um... Ms. Castello?" I'm looking at my back and furrowed my brow. "Can you meet me in my office after work hours? I promise, I'll be quick."
She wants to discussing about that? Who knows. I'm nodding my head, then get inside of my working room with him. Look at this mees! I took a deep breath, sit on my chair and continue where I left on.

Work time already over and Marco seems upset because he and Jane got warned by Julia because they escape work. I know we just... a corporate slave, but your rules made them escape! What's wrong with you?
Ashley not on her desk? What happened? I'm walking inside to her office and looking at Julia looking at the wide window behind her. Where is her? "Julia? Everything is..."
I turned her office chair and gasped and accidentally dropped a picture on her desk. "Julia!" I'm looking at my surrounding. Where is Ashley? I'm shaking her body several times. "Hey, wake up!" Julia blinked her eyes several times.
I sighed in relief. What's going on!? Julia straightened her body and cleared her throat. "Um... am I sleeping too long?"
What?! She moved her mouse and looking at the bottom corner to the right. "Does Ashley already leave?" What's going on!?
"I did not saw her in her post. Why? W-where's her?" I asked. Julia keep staring at the door as if she waits someone to comes in through that door.
One hour already past, and she keep staring through that door. She closed her face with both of her hands. I tried not to asked what's going on, but it seems clear something happens to Ashley. Since her dad arrival to this office.
Julia's POV
I will find her. No matter what I will found her. Even thought at the corner of this world. My dad needs to worried what will come next. This time, I'm not let this happened again. "My apologize, Cecilia."
She shouldn't know what happened inside this office earlier. "Where... were we earlier?" She will freaks out and found the truth if I keep acting like this. I shouldn't let my guard down in front of her.
"Um... Andrew and Mrs. Yuki having an affair, and I asked you to stalked them." It's not that simple, Cecilia.
Cecilia's POV
Same as at earlier. She just silence and support her chin with her hand. "It's not that simple." I can hear what she mumbling about. What do you mean by it's not that simple!?
"I... have my jurisdiction and so on the other people. I might be daddy's number one, but" she shook her head. "Tailing them is risky."
That means you can tailing your employees in this floor as like as you want?! "Do you..."
"I'm tailing Marco because I... want to help you, remember?" She looks me in the eye. Because of me!? I'm not asking...
"Do you have a proof besides his other friend testimony?" It's that enough!? His friend's account should be legit, right? "My advice, don't get fooled by them twice. You've got fooled by him once, right?"
She's right. His friend could be spread a false rumor to testing me, somehow. "Do you... have any suggestions?" Julia seems like troubled today. I shouldn't asked her any further. I get out of her office with empty handed, hunger, and confusion.
Maybe... Burger King for dinner? It could be better. I'm lazy to cook anyway.

I sit on the couch and turned on my Tv with a party sized chips in my hand. I was keep thinking how to get evidence without tarnishing my reputation? I took a deep breath and turned off the Tv. Sometimes, I just... miss my days with him.
He replace me with Jane. I don't know why he just loves Jane? What's good in her. I closed my eyes and gripping the chips bag tight. Shit. I shouldn't thinking about that. Andrew should suffer more than me.
What happened to Jerry, it's not my fault. That day, Julia did some inspections and found Jerry drinking in the office while working. Our relationship, Julia already overheard everything. It's because of her Balenciaga.
Speaking of witch.... I'm not seeing her wearing that Balenciaga again. Where are those shoes? I took a deep breath and close my eyes. Why I keep overthinking about everything since my break up?
I'm picking up my phone and open Deezer to play some music to keep my mind occupied and open my Instagram account. It's been awhile I'm not posting anything. I took a selfie to posting on my social media.
Speaking of her... what she's doing now? I'm supporting my chin and sighed. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Should I checking on her? Two months not seeing her made me wonder what happened to her in that period?
She's a grown up woman and everything is fine, but... Argh! I grabbed my purse and ordering an UBER to get her apartment.

She puts a cup of coffee in front of me and sighed. "You... shouldn't go here alone. Why you did not called Mr. LeBlanc or me!? You are a woman, Cecilia!" She scoffed, massaging her temple.
"I'm concern about you. So... I think you're fine." She standing up and walking to her apartment complex. I want to call out her name and talking hours like she did to me, but why something prevent me to do so?
I only watched her back as she fade away from my sight. I took a deep breath and exhale through my mouth.
I hope she's doing alright as she said.
