4. SHAME ON YOU

Serena only smiled in response to the unnatural order from the boss. Just as the elevator doors opened all eyes were on him. Rumors also seem to have begun to spread. As evidenced by the number of sharp looks as a sign of dislike when you see the girl walking side by side with the number one person at the hotel.

"Enjoy your fun time until evening, Miss. Serena," said the GM when the two parted at the T-junction of the corridor.

There were no words other than a heavy sigh from Serena. The girl now walks with her face straight without looking at the people around her.

There are still a few hours to go before the task is transferred. Serena again continued her steps towards the 2nd floor. The Food and Beverage department is where I work. Amel who realized the arrival of the friend immediately took off his apron and approached the girl.

"Serena, are you going to move to the Admin and General Department?" Amel asked as if she couldn't believe the words she had just heard.

Serena nodded slowly then moistened her lips with a sweep of the tongue.

“Why is it so strange? Why is that?”

“I don't know. I guess it's my luck. You're all right here. Next time we can make an appointment together. Maybe my task will be much more difficult, " said Serena while packing up the items left on her desk.

Only a few people cared about the girl. Ah, it's not a big problem for him because he's used to being looked at differently by those who know Serena's true character.

The girl only bowed when she passed the manager and director. I don't know what happened to the two of them, they just didn't get along with each other at all. It seems that only Amel remained friendly to him. Never mind. There is no point in thinking about other people's opinions. That's how he thought to entertain himself.

Now he has arrived at a simple tiny house with a size of 3x7 meters. The door creaked as the jet-black-haired woman turned the key.

“Why do I have to see him again? Why did he come back? I ... " soaks Rena who has been drooping limply behind the door of his house.

She sank his face between the two already bent knees. Both hands were pounding the tiled floor. Her tears began to break at this time. The words of the doctor who made himself severely beaten again rang in the ears. Her old wounds healed again.

Her chest was already cramped even when he first met the ex. I don't know what God's plan is until he returns to face the past. She attempts to escape from reality seems to be enough to get to this point. It turns out that eleven years also did not bury her memories in Medan until she returned to this city again after a long time. Maybe if you knew what it would be like now, Serena would choose to settle in Surabaya after completing her studies at that time.

By Barra's words, the woman who was harboring the wound was forced to become his secretary in the next few months. He also has to get out of his job.

TING!!

An incoming message immediately appears on the screen of Serena's phone. She just chuckled while wiping away the tears that had soaked her face.

[Philadelphia Hotel. SM King Street. See you soon.]

There was no name of the sender, but Serena soon realized who it was. A faint smile rose on his face. Sexy clothes. Isn't he used to wearing it? It was, but it was purely out of his own free will. Hearing the GM's order made Serena feels humiliated. It was the first time she cared about the opinions of others. Is it because he is the real of Barra?

Half an hour ago, Serena had been staring at herself in the mirror. Her hands deftly make hair braids with a French braids style. It looks neat and also elegant because it shows a long neck. A milky white dress with a length above the knee already wrapped her beautiful body. Not forgetting the pastel-colored 7-centimeter high pump heels that have adorned the feet of A Serena. Her tapering hands sprayed orange blossom-scented perfume as the final touch for this afternoon's appearance.

While in a different place, Barra had just entered his luxury car which had been opened by the driver. The man's gaze is straight ahead while looking at the phone screen. There is a feeling of regret imprinted in the heart because the ex never replied to his message. But it's okay. He knows very well the character of Serena who will not have the heart to leave responsibility on the job. There were some threats he had made to the girl.

“Why, hmmm?” Serena put on a thin smile when she met the GM.

The masculine scent of peppermint perfume now clashed with the girl's orange blossom fragrance. And so it is with the gaze of the Masters who thrust their eyes at each other. For a moment, Barra swallowed her saliva when she saw the bold outfit worn by the former. Honestly, since the 2 days of their reunion, Barra was obsessed with Serena.

Either the obsession wants to have or wants to torment the ex. Only Barra can answer that for now.

“Do I need to take your arm, boss?" asked Rena, tilting her face.

Barra just stood still and walked faster toward the elevator. There is no sound between the two. Only the occasional sigh of relief from having to balance the pace of the GM who runs almost twice as fast as him.

"Afternoon, Sir. Call me Serena. Mr. GM's new secretary” Rena said, publishing her best smile.

The GM who saw a different look from the investor tried to be ordinary. Isn't this what he wants? Make the ex a lure so that his cooperation can go according to plan.

[Do your best performance!]

After sending a short message to the secretary, Barra confirmed his sitting position.

Serena reviewed his smile when the GM was about to leave the room for a moment. In the heart there is a feeling of inadmissibility, but how else? It doesn't look like it's going to make a dent until it does.

Unbeknownst to Serena and the prospective investor, Barra was observing them from a distance. See how the savage gaze of the predator when treated to a beautiful fairy in the guise of a secretary. The two of them even laughed at each other, not knowing what to talk about.

“Want to come home with me?” bid the man with a thick mustache who is now officially an investor in their company.

Before Serena could open her voice, the GM appeared out of nowhere.

“Miss. Serena will come home with me, Sir. We have a meeting somewhere else. Thank you for your cooperation,” said Bara trying to arch the corners of his lips.

BRUK!!

Serena's tiny body just crashed into the car.

"Move, Sir!” orders the GM regardless of the condition of the secretary.

“Why else? I've done what you want, " protested Rena did not accept the actions of Bara.

Just five minutes into the journey, the GM had told the driver to stop the vehicle. Without saying a word he pulled Serena out. Serena furrowed her forehead more and more and looked at Barra's face in amazement. Isn't the job going well?

“Good Job, Miss. Serena. You're getting cheap with your looks. It turns out that baseball has never changed at all, " sneered Barra who had been ignited by emotions.

“Why? Don't you think I can do what I'm told?” Serena opened her eyes.

The embers that each gripped the former's wrist now strengthened his energy. Serena's voice was completely meaningless.

"Shame on you, Serena,” Bara said.

” This is still the beginning, " he continued, leaving Serena alone.

No longer care about the condition of those who turned out to be in the city park in the exemplary area. Do not ask about the atmosphere of the crowd that was created in the afternoon. Serena became a spectacle when the luxury car just left her.

Serena stared for a few seconds. Several pairs of eyes looked at him with astonishment.

"Damn it! I have to take the car to the hotel again. What was that supposed to mean?" said Serena while stroking the bruise on her wrist.

The girl didn't come home right away. She decided to pull her car into the boutique parking lot. Unfortunately, the man he was looking for was nowhere to be found. Serena chose to wait until nightfall.

“What should I do?”
