Max POV
We went back to my office after our boss Asher scolded us for the outcome of our designs. He told me that we can talk about it later and that made me nervous. What if he will fire me and called out the guy whom he disqualified on the interview?
My forehead is sweating right now. My throat runs dry and I keep touching it and cleared my throat frequently like I can't do a deep voice and I don't know what's happening to me.
I saw Russ rushing towards me with his calm face. I hope that this is good news.
"What are you doing here? Something happened?", I asked him.
Russ sat in the empty chair near my desk and took a deep breath first. He's catching his breath like someone is trying to catch him.
" Hey, I just came here to tell you that be careful of Tatiana. She does this before. She's a witch." He told me and I was so confused.
"What? I don't know what do you want me to say. Can you explain more
It's a long day for Max especially when Tatiana came into the company and was introduced to be their new vice president because Mr. Tomimoto had a serious illness which made him stayed in the hospital.To wear those fake wigs, beards and man's suits and shoes were too hot for her body but she doesn't have a choice. Tally is turning right next month and she needs to work hard just to fulfill her dreams for her daughter, to give her a good life.And her main problem was Tatiana. She looks like she likes her and that doesn't make sense because she's just the company's employee. How the hell Asher's step-sister noticed her? She doesn't have muscles and nice abs. She's thin and has a small face and lips. She looks gay when she will compare her features to her colleagues. Russ has the nice built among them while Gus has a cute dimple, Murphy has a nice smile and Aki looks so cute like Korean boys.She check her watch and saw that it's eight in the ev
Max was still thinking about her dream. She thought it was real because it feels like it happened. The way Tally called her and said that her friend Asher helped her going home was not a dream. She was inside the men's restroom because she was a man in their eyes so she needs to use it.She was looking at her expression in the mirror and she touched her face with all those fake things on it. She felt so guilty because of what she was doing at this moment. She took a thirty minutes break and after having coffee downstairs, she came back to pee.Now she felt sorry for herself because she need to do this just for her to make a living and for them to lived in wealth. She was about to go outside when she heard someone came in. She suddenly felt nervous when she saw that it was her boss Asher who just came inside and used the public restroom that they're using. She doesn't know why he's using the restroom here when he has his private restroom.Max di
