“Good morning.” She greeted again, raising her voice a little, but Anna didn’t hear her.

    Carissa walked out of Rolland’s company with anger. She hit the steering wheel and grinded her teeth. “That son of a bitch! Fuck you!” She thought of what to do next, but nothing came into her mind, and as she started the car, Marsha drove in. She turned off the car engine and watched Marsha’s car parked next to her car. Immediately Marsha got down, she winded down the car glass, and called. “Marsha.” Marsha looked back and, seeing Carissa, she wore a smile. “Carissa.” Carissa got out of the car and walked to Marsha. “Good day.

Rathnait looked at her from head to toe in surprise, and she quickly bowed her head, apologizing, “I am sorry for coming late, ma. I didn’t know you will go out this early.” Carissa beamed lightly. “It’s fine. Picking a dress isn’t hard. Besides, I wore what I am comfortable with.” “You should have called me, ma. I am always at your service.” Rathnait let out guilt. “It’s fine.” Carissa grinned. Rathnait stretched out her hand to collect the bag that Carissa was holding, but Carissa didn’t give it to her. “Don’t worry, I am going out alone. I don’t need you to follow me around anymore.” Carissa announced. “Why ma?!” Rathnait asked in shock. “Did I do anything wrong?” Carissa smiled, comforting. “Not at all. It’s just that some things better be done alone. I have discussed it with the chairman, so you don’t

    “What's next?" Chairman Lexx tapped his forehead. He thought for a minute and let out. "I should call Charmaine, this is unusual of her…" He took out his phone and just when he wanted to dial her number, Mrs. Charmaine entered. "Good morning, sir," she greeted, bowing her head a little. She didn't give him a space to respond, and she quickly added. "How was your night?" "It's fine,” he answered in simplicity, and let out his worry. “Why are you late? I have been so worried." "I am sorry for worrying you, sir." she apologized and explained. "I went to bed too late last night and ended up waking up late." "It's fine. You have been my secretary for over nineteen years and this is the first time you are late. So, if I am not worried about you, I am not human," He pointed out, smiling. He put his phone down and threw a question. "How was where you went? Any good news?" "Where I went? What are you talking about, sir?” She acted innocent. He scoffed and eyed her for a few seconds. Be
