“For a while you will be the secretary who takes care of the director's agenda in the office. As for business outside the office, I will take care of it.”
Faris handed me several documents while continuing to explain what my duties were while being Uncle Sam's secretary. I, who was originally busy writing down important things he said, immediately took the document he handed me. All of these documents contain various meeting materials and activity proposals submitted by many divisions."Oh yeah, even though you're still an intern secretary, you don't need to worry, the director promised to give you a full-time salary"
Said Faris again. He smiled, making the dimples on his cheeks pop out. His hands started stroking my head, as if trying to calm me down.I just nodded my head, leaning back a little so his hands wouldn't keep stroking my head. Maybe because of my reaction, Faris immediately withdrew his hand with an awkward expression,
I stirred the soup in front of me, looking at Faris and Nami who were talking excitedly. Whereas previously Faris continued to grumble while pursing his lips because I invited Nami to join us. He said he wished we could eat together just the two of us. But of course I broke his hopes because I didn't want to feel awkward being alone with him."Oh yes, Sha, just now Andreas called me. He keeps nagging because you never pick up his call!”Said Nami while turning her gaze to me."Ah.."I mumbled, remembering some of Andreas' phone calls that I often ignored. Well, actually it wasn't intentional ignored him, I just couldn't keep talking to him for very long.Somehow I feel lately Andreas continues to treat me in a romantic way. He once sent me roses at lunch, or gifts for Valentine's Day. Whenever I asked him what he meant, he just said that it was proof of our friendship all along. At first I tried to accept his treatment a
Anne Louis, or commonly called Aunt Anne.One of the servants who had worked for the Lee family since Uncle Sam's parents were still alive. She is also the one who is responsible for all the household affairs of the Lee family, including helping to take care of Uncle Sam. She is known as someone who is competent and very good at her job. During her work, she very rarely made mistakes. However, even though she is someone who is very consistent and thorough with her work, she is still a warm person.I wrote down some basic information that I managed to gather from some of the maids who knew about Aunt Anne. Sometimes I feel grateful because from day one I've been trying hard to get closer to the maids. Even though they weren't very welcoming to me at first, but now I've gotten quite close to some of them. close enough that we could talk about personal matters without feeling awkward. So when I mentioned Aunt Anne, they didn't suspect anything at all. But of c
“Is something bothering you? You don't seem to be focused all day.."I jerked back when Faris suddenly brought his face closer to mine. I don't know since when he was standing in front of me, I didn't notice him at all. Ah, looks like what he said is right, I seem to be daydreaming too much today. Even last night I couldn't sleep at all, thinking about many possibilities in my head.My thoughts were focused on Aunt Anne, on my belief that the two photos had a fairly obvious match. But.. how could Aunt Anne end up in a mental hospital? Because almost all the maids who knew Aunt Anne thought that she was enjoying old age with her children and grandchildren. Apart from that they all said that Aunt Anne was a very healthy and brilliant person.“If something is bothering you, you can tell me. Aren't two heads much better than one?”He asked again with a gentle smile, making my head suddenly hurt because I suddenly re
"Are you sure?"I bit my lip, don't know how many times I've repeated this question and Alex's answer is still the same. He was sure that what he had just said was true."I'll email everything Miss. And remember, you have to keep your promise, miss."Alex said in a low voice, as if he was reminding me not to break the promise I had made to him."Don't worry, I won't break my promise"I say earnestly. Only then did he end our phone call. As usual he didn't bother to say goodnight or other unimportant words. Maybe this is what makes me feel comfortable talking to Alex. He always said something to the point, without the need to beat around the bush.After that I sat on the bed and started to open all the emails that Alex sent. He said, based on the results of his investigation, my guess turned out to be right. That Aunt Anne who is in the mental hospital is the Aunt Anne I was looking for. My eyes continued to stare at the file that Ale
I will never be able to forget his face!Even if a very long time has passed, I will still remember his face.The way he looked at someone was still the same, the beautiful eyes that made many people stunned were still the same. At first those eyes were unattractive for me. In fact I hated them so much that I wished I never had to see them again.But, after spending time with him, I realized that I really like those eyes. I love the warm glow in his eyes every time he look at me. Love how his eyeballs dart down whenever he's hiding something. Love how the wrinkles form at the corners of his eyes when he smiles. Anyway, I really like those eyes.Not just his eyes, I like everything in him. Including when his brows furrowed with a confused expression like this. Tilted his head as if he was asking who the person in front of him was and suddenly hugged him at this moment. I immediately removed my arms from Alliando's body, looking at him with mixed
"Okay, have a good rest.."Faris said while smiling. By this time, we were back in the hotel room after spending a while in the front garden. After I explained the reason why I looked sad when I saw Alliando, he didn't mention anything else about Alliando. Instead, he distracts me by telling me some scary projects and stories that often happen in our office. And Faris's actions made me feel very relieved.Right now I want to hide the fact that I met Alliando again, especially from Uncle Sam! Considering he once tried to kill Alliando, I won't let that happen again. I had promised myself to protect him from Uncle Sam, therefore, I had to hide everything from Uncle.I nodded my head while looking at Faris who waved his hand and started walking away. But before he had walked a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned his body to face me. He scratched his neck with an awkward expression, as if he had something to say but he hesitated."Why?"
"I'm sorry miss, it seems that you have to postpone the visit to Mrs. Anne to prevent something bad from happening"I listened to the receptionist's words in front of me with mixed feelings. I really didn't think that Aunt Anne would scream and apologize as soon as she saw my face. Even though I'm sure we've never met before, so why is she apologizing like he's really wronged me? Did she mistake me for someone else?“Currently, the patient has been given sedatives and is resting. So I hope your understanding, miss.""Okay, then I'll visit aunty next time..."I answered wearily. Urrgh, even though I was hoping to get a lot of useful information for my revenge. Along the way I kept thinking about Aunt Anne, wondering if I had met her in a previous life. But no, I didn't find anything about her in my memory! I don't even know anyone named Anne Louis."Huh, if she continues like this, how can I get information from Aunt An
"It's not in vain uncle trust you .."I smiled wryly as I remembered Uncle Sam's words to me a while ago. I have to admit he is a really great actor. How ironic! I think I shudder when I remember the way he looked at me and talked to me. His tone was very warm and sincere, making me a little sure that he believed in the 'show' I was deliberately putting on. But it seems that I'm not the only one who applies a wise saying that says to keep your enemy as close as possible, Uncle Sam also does the same thing as me."Ha ha ha"A discordant laugh escaped my throat. I don't know whether I should be grateful or not with the crisis of trust that I got after I found out the fact that Aunt Donna was a traitor. But thanks to that crisis of trust, I've prepared a backup plan. It's just… from the start, I hoped that I wouldn't have to carry out this backup plan. Because there will be a lot of people would get hurt. And one of them is Nami.A sudden tightness filled my chest when I imagined how Nam
