"Nina, let's drink! Don't be shy!" Depney said as she poured beer into a glass and handed it to Nina who sat in the middle with a nervous smile. At first Nina thought that only Depney, Colin, Jean, Daniel and Kerry would be joining the crew tonight. But it turns out that more than half came. Except for a few people who couldn't attend because there were other events, including the captain whose face was not visible. Seeing her new colleagues gather and having fun together after work is a new sight for Nina. But there was only one problem, she was not used to drinking like this and she was confused about how to refuse it. "Why don't you drink it? Maybe you're not a good drinker, are you?" Asked Kerry whose face was already starting to blush. "Kerry, what are you talking about? Of course, because Nina is still shy. Nina, right?" Asked Jean who sat beside Nina and kept trying to engage her in conversation. "Um...that, I'm not used to drinking and I'm a terrible drinker. So, can I ha
As the captain had ordered, Nina had come earlier than yesterday because she had to join in on cleaning duty. She arrived at the office at 7.45 or 15 minutes earlier. For some reason, yesterday's cycle happened again today when she just walked in from the door and walked around the reception area. Behind her, the main director and his loyal aide or secretary walked with him. This time, she tried to be more alert, when this tense atmosphere began to be felt. Quickly, Nina looked back and avoided the path that the big boss who was known to be cold and arrogant would take. She stood with her feet together and bowed her head in respect, though she still didn't have the confidence to say a direct greeting. When the man and his aide passed right in front of her, she stopped walking and looked at Nina who was standing like a strange mannequin in the middle of the road. "What are you doing there?" Asked the man sarcastically while narrowing his eyes and making him look colder. "G-g
"I'll pick you up now, don't go anywhere, wait for me there!" Said Aiden who sounded like a possessive man who was too afraid of losing his girlfriend. Nina took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to stop herself from Aiden's restraining attitude like this. "Yeah, I'm not going anywhere. I'll be waiting for you!" "Okay, I'm leaving now!" "Yeah, be careful on the road okay honey?" She said while closing the call that she was making secretly. Nina doesn't want her other colleagues to know that she is in a relationship with a famous super model who is known to have a boyfriend, a beautiful designer. If they find out, she will definitely become gossip material that disrupts her peaceful life. "Nina, how about I take you home?" Jean, who came straight up to her to offer a lift. Although actually this is the mode he is used to every time he wants to approach a beautiful woman. "Nina, you better refuse! Don't let this crocodile get the chance to get close to you, you have to refuse it!"
"Why? You're so cool, why don't you have a girlfriend?" "You idiot! Shut your mouth!" Nina thought screaming. She couldn't even close h3r mouth as she often spoke without thinking first. As she was worried about, Gavin glanced at Nina sharply and looked at her with eyes that were difficult to define because his face was always flat and lacking in expression. "S-sorry, Captain! Forget it, I was just kidding, haha..." she laughed awkwardly and as time went on she realized her own stupidity. Meanwhile, Gavin still showed no signs that he was quite comfortable with Nina's questions or vice versa. His flat reaction was very difficult to predict. This awkwardness made Nina's hands tremble even more, now her mind really wasn't focused on what she was doing. Driinngg...driingg... The rescue signal finally came, heard from inside her bag. She quickly opened her bag and took out her cell phone. Because Aiden contacted her, she was confused about how to answer this polite call in front of
"Hahahaha..." Three minutes since she said that the director hated him, Aiden's laughter didn't stop. I don't know what made him feel that it was something funny and deserved to be laughed at for three minutes. Nina was very upset because Aiden seemed to be dancing happily above her misery. "If you keep laughing, I better go home alone!" She said threateningly. "Hahahaha...I'm sorry! Fine, I'll stop laughing!" Aiden said while suppressing his urge to laugh in order to keep this woman from feeling like she was ready to pounce and swallow him alive if he didn't stop it "Is it nice to see other people suffer? Is that something that really excites you?" "No, I'm not laughing because your boss seems to hate you. But since I remember that incident, you know how ridiculous you were at that time, right? The way you fell, the expression on your face and when you argued with that designer. It's really very funny !" Aiden smiled, there was happiness radiating from the look in his eyes when
Nina ate the delicious dishes served with great gusto, she only realized that her stomach was really hungry when the homemade food entered her stomach. Nina could feel a mother's love and it made her eyes start to water. She didn't realize that her tears were flowing, she felt pain every time she missed that figure, a figure that had left her and her younger brother, Dion, long ago. Aiden who was sitting beside Nina, glanced at this woman with a questioning look. Seeing Nina suddenly crying, made Aiden worry. "Honey, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" "Ahahaha...no, I'm fine. These are just tears of joy, hahaha..." Nina tried to hide her tears with laughter, acting like she was fine. "Tears of joy?" "Yeah, after all this is the first time I'm having dinner like this, I feel really happy." Aiden smiled gently, as did his mother, Mrs. Emila who seemed to understand Nina's feelings. Being invited to dinner out of the blue like this must have mixed feelings. "Then Aiden, next summ
Courtney and Jennifer stood with their hands on their hips when Nina just came home, their behavior was just like a possessive parent who always wants to know what their daughter is doing and it made Nina feel annoyed, but at the same time, she found it very funny. "Why are you looking at me like that? What's wrong?" Nina asked while sitting on the sofa and taking off the high heels that she had been wearing since morning. "You've been coming home all night for the past two days, it looks like you managed to find a cool guy at that TV station!" Courtney said sarcastically. Now, her behavior is like a half sister who is cruel and full of envy. Nina covered her mouth and tried to hold back a big smile which if she did, would surely tear her lips up to her ears. Maybe it's true, Nina met some cool, rich and charismatic men at that tv station. But the thing was, their coolness had absolutely nothing to do with her. "Cool guy, huh? So, that's what you guys asked me when I just got home
Nina immediately looked down when she saw the figure she swore at appeared in front of her, just as she was about to enter the elevator. She doesn't understand, why does this meeting scene in the elevator keep happening to her? Besides that, why do strange coincidences like this always happen as if it makes her the main character in a romance novel where an ordinary employee suddenly becomes involved in a relationship with her own boss, even though in Nina's story, such a thing seems far from possible. "G-good morning, Sir?" She said nervously. Nina who was trembling with fear, tried to duck while stepping carefully into the same elevator as Victor Sanders, the president director who made Courtney and Jennifer force her to ask for an introduction. Victor doesn't budge, as if in his dictionary, he hates being greeted by someone far below him. His attitude made interns like Nina feel very pressured. However, after Victor got down on the third floor, that's when she could breathe a s
