Lisa walked into Axel's office and saw him staring at his face in a small mirror.

Noticing her arrival, he looked up and Lisa paused in her steps. On the middle of his forehead was a small red spot. "Is that a pimple?"

Axel grunted, putting the mirror away. "It appeared this morning, and although it is small, it hurts pretty much."

Lisa held back her itchy hands, clasping it behind her back. "I received a call from Mr Schindler. It is an invitation....."

"I am not attending."

Lisa was already used to him and wasn't in the least surprised. "It is his eldest daughter's engagement. Should I send him a gift?"

"Make it expensive."

"Understood." She glanced at her watch, then said. "Also. You have a meeting on the third floor. Right about—now."

"Carol already left for the seminar?" Axel asked, once again bringing out the mirror to take a look at his face.

"She went before noon." Lisa replied.

Axel used the hair at the forefront of his head to cover up the pimple before standing up. "O

    Lisa could feel eyes on her as she walked into the company's lobby. She even saw a few co-workers point at her and they seemed to be talking about something related to her under their breaths. Entering the elevator, there was a man and a woman behind her, and without even turning to take a look, she knew that they had their gaze fixed on her. 'Did something happen?' Lisa had a bad premonition as she stepped into the office. Everyone was gathered behind Hans, who was showing them something in his phone. They all looked up at her footsteps and Lisa halted in her steps. "Is something wrong?" She asked softly.Dahlia scowled, the disgust in her eyes thinly hidden. "So you are that kind of person?""What?.....What do you mean?"Hans avoided her eyes as he handed her his phone. Lisa pursed her lips, lashes lowering to stare at the warmly lit screen. It was a post made on the company's forum. And the post about her, a woman who has no educational background, but was able to become the

    The next day Lisa arrived at the company early, as always.She first arranged the day's meeting files into a folder and then went to the break room to prepare Axel's normal morning tea.With a short knock, she walked into the office, surprised to see him leaning on his table unresponsive."Axel." She called out softly and he raised his head, with a blank stare. Humming under his breath."Hmm....""Good morning Mr Axel." Placing the tray on the table, she unconsciously gave him a once-over with her eyes.He was acting weird."Here is your tea. And this is your schedule for today." She put the planner next to the tray, and then hesitantly asked. "Is there anything else you need?""No." He replied curtly, sitting up."Okay. Call me if you need anything." She purse her lips, withdrawing out of the office.'something about him does looks off.' She thought to herself.Putting off any distraction's, she made herself a hot cup of coffee, then began the day's work.After about an hour or so, s

    With a heart full of annoyance, Lisa sat down and ate all the toast and scrambled eggs herself. Then clean out all the dirty dishes using the dishwasher.The living room was big, almost three times the size of her room, and although arranged sophisticatedly, with exotic designs and artwork hanging on the walls, sitting alone on the light brown sofa, Lisa was hit with a feeling of emptiness.It was so quiet that she could almost hear her own breath in her ear. The mansion was lavish and grand. But also lonely and empty. She could not imagine someone living every single day of the year in such way.'does he not feel lonely?' Lisa quickly shook those thoughts as they came. 'of course not. He must have a lot of friends....and girlfriends.'After idling away her time for a few minutes, she succumbed to her worries and stood up to check on Axel.Hoping he was asleep.She contemplated for a while, standing in front of the door. Whether to knock or not. Afraid of disturbing him if he were as

    "What are you wearing?" Axel's eyes twitched as Lisa walked towards him.She scanned his body tailored, navy blue suit, matched with a dark ash tie.His hair was made in a messily, sexy style, and she is hit with a realization. "Are we going somewhere important?""Tell me." He gives her a scowl. "Of course yes. Why else would I ask you to dress nice if it isn't somewhere important?""That is also what you said last time and I ended up overdressing." Lisa said hinting to the last time she followed him to the hospital.Axel looked at her, at lost for words. In the end he lets out a sigh, brushing his fingers through his curls. "If you give me ten minutes I can go back and change into something el—""Don't bother." He opened the door for her and said indifferently. "Get in.""What? I can't go like this, can I?" Lisa immediately protested. Feeling it would be too embarrassing.Axel stared straight at her then repeated. "Get in."'ah, wherever it is your loss. After all I am going in you

    The event was held in a hotel, and Axel handed his keys to the frontman walking in the red carpets with an arm linked to Lisa's. For Lisa, who wasn't used to the intense flashing of cameras, she felt the world turn white for some seconds and only recovered when they entered the main hall."Are you alright?" Axel glanced at her, and she pressed down the urge to rub on her eyes, not wanting to ruin her makeup. She nodded stiffly. "I am good.""You should be, after all this has just began."Axel wasn't bluffing when he said this. They first went on to congratulate the celebrant, then the host, which was his children, and after then it was business mode, and Lisa was once again reminded of the fact that Axel wasn't just any bipolar jerk. He was the CEO of the top tech company in the world. Every word he said hit on the point, and how he could easily dominate any discussion couldn't fail to amaze her. It was to the extent where Lisa, who thought of herself to be really extroverted, fe

    "Now?" Lisa looked around the party that was too in full swing. "Why? is there something you are waiting for?" Axel asked, briefly glancing back. Lisa passed the cop to a passing waiter and gently followed after him."Already leaving. So soon." Aurora, the chairman's third daughter, blocked his way, a soft pout on her lips. "Pardon me, but I have something important tomorrow and unfortunately I have to excuse myself." He stated, just like a gentleman. "I see." Aurora noted, in understanding. "It was my fault. I almost forgot that your job must be very taxing." She then turned to Lisa, her lips hooked in a bright smile. "It is nice to meet you. Let's get to know each other better next time. Merry Christmas in advance.""Merry Christmas." Lisa sincerely smiled back. Massive fireworks exploded in the skies as they stepped out of the event hall, and the two took a moment to appreciate the beauty that smeared the skies. "Merry Christmas in advance, Mr. Axel." Lisa said to Axel, who l

    "Mr. Axel, where are we going?" Lisa asked staring out of the window. It was cold and showering hard, with the top of buildings covered in white. He glanced at her and said. "You talk too much. Why are you so curious? Lisa pursed her lips, already starting to regret why she had agreed to spend the day with him. Seeing that black lines were starting to form on her face, Axel gave a loud laugh. "It is a surprise.""I hate surprises." Lisa mumbled under her breath. Still without a choice, she was left in suspense until Axel drove into a parking lot. He climbed down and urged her to do the same. "Are we walking?" Lisa tugged on her coat, wrapping it around her firmly to keep the cold out. "It is not far." He responded. True to his words, they stopped a few blocks away, and Lisa's eyes trailed a big sign in front of the building. Underwater City? She turned to Axel, who refused to give anything away.

    Two days later, on Lisa's side. "Ah—what happened to you?" Karen slipped into the chair opposite Lisa, throwing her purse on the table. U"Unemployment." Lisa's sigh was filled with emotion. Soft music played in the background of the small bar, creating a cozy atmosphere."We got to stop doing this." Karen groaned under her breath. "Doing what?" Lisa lifted up a glass and chugged down the beer, the liquor burning down her throat. "Drinking all the time." Karen poured herself a cup, and leaned against her chair. "What is the best way to down your sorrow than a heartfelt drink?" "Right." Karen could only agree. "You look like you have a lot on your mind." Lisa stared at her closely, noticing her unease."Do I?" Karen shrugged"What is on her mind?" Lisa asked and she halted, looking down at her empty glass. "It is okay if you don't want to tell me.""It's not that." Karen was quick to refute."So i—""Hmmm....." Lisa urged her on with a low hum."I want to go back to school."

    The light automatically turned on as Axel walked into the house. He dragged his tie loose and tossed it on the leather couch. He then removed his suit jacket before walking to the kitchen. He opened the fridge and took out a bottle of chilled water, hungrily gulping it all, then aimed the emptying can for the bin, which was unfortunately a miss. What a way to ruin my day is good. She doesn't need it? Whatever is done of my business.It is her fault being blind and rejecting my generosity. "You started seeing things too?" Axel swayed around at the unexpected voice. His hand moved with agility, grabbing a beer bottle from the still-open fridge. "Chill, man!" Chris jumped back, an alarmed look on his face.Realising it was just Chris, Axel withdrew his hand. He put the beer back into the fridge then gave his best friend a dead look."What are you doing here?"I am hungry." Chris replied nonchalantly. "I didn't want to eat alone.""And I don't see how that is my cup of tea." Axel po

    Lisa had an apron tied around her waist. Her hair was put up in a high ponytail and she held both a pen and a note as she took the tables order. Flashing a bright smile the moment she finished."Is that all you want?""Uh—yes." The table had four girls who looked to be very close friends."I will be right back." Lisa nodded, then headed back to the kitchen where she have the order to the cook."That is weird." Karen spoke from behind her, the corner of her lips ticked up in thought."What is weird?" Lisa gave her an indifferent glance. Waiting for the cook to fix together her order."That handsome guy sitting over there, next to the window seems to be staring at you. Or is it just my eyes?" She mused.'no. You are not wrong. He is indeed staring at me.' Lisa sighed to herself. Her head starting to ache.Who knew why the self obsessed Mr Axel decided to grace their restaurant with his presence?No matter how she tried to ignore him, it was just impossible."Tsk....I don't think I am wr

    "And that's what happened." Karen flopped on the table, forcing a smile. "Fortunately tho, they didn't kick me out.""Your mom really is too much." Lisa non existent respect for the lady dropped to a minus. "I don't care. I only have to hold on for less than a month, and I am gone." She stated. "And the phone?" Lisa asked."Yeah." Karen dipped a hand into a pocket and slid it over to her. "It broke really badly." Lisa cringed on seeing the break marks on the screen. "Tell me about it." Lisa's thumb pressed on the on button and the screen lighted up. With a blue light. She was surprised. "It still works?""Miraculously." Karen nodded. "And the touchpad isn't that affected too. Only the top-right part of the screen isn't working." Lisa was just about to return it to her when the phone started to vibrate. "Someone's calling.""Let me see." Karen stared at the number for a few seconds before deciding to answer. "Hello?""Hello, is this the lady I bumped into the other night?""Ye
