“Good morning Ms. Miller! The boss' secretary instructed me to tell you to go straight to Mr. Keller’s office once you arrived.” Miss Porter told me when I walk inside of the building.
I shook my head in confusion. I hope it’s not about our “thing in the past”. But I already found someone to assist him? And it's just monday. Whatever! With fingers' crossed in my mind, I find my way into his office.
I nodded to his secretary, Mr. Fowler when I arrived.

Arianne's pov “Miss Miller come to my office!” I heard his voice over the intercom. I quickly leave my post and went to his office. “Sir?” I said as he motioned me to have a seat. “I’m afraid we’re going to our main headquarters for a couple of weeks or maybe a month or two. Starting on Monday, the renovation of this building will gonna start. So start informing all the department heads that we’ll gonna do our work in the main office.” I just nodded and write down his order. I feel very exhausted already from all those orders he kept on barking and most of all, the way he acts in front of me is so confusing. Like one minute he's this bossy, arrogant and very demanding CEO then next thing he will look at me as if assessing every shred of my existence.There are times that I just want to leave this situation by resigning but I love my job, in HR, and not being his assistant.

Arianne’s POV I got startled on the constant pounding on the door. Good thing it made me comeback to the present. For several days, I don’t actually have any idea exactly what day is today, all I know is that Jace, Natalia and their marriage are all over the news. That’s why I decided to lock myself in my room. I know it’s kind of selfish but really I don’t know how to face the world anymore most especially my two innocent children. Thank god for Dad and Riza, helped me telling the kids that I caught some virus that’s why I have to stay away from everyone. But I'm also hoping that the news about their father and his wife haven’t reached them yet. Until now, I still haven’t figure out how to explain it to my children. Or if I’m ready for any reaction that would come out from them. I’m very scared honestly! Scared on how will they take it that we can never have their father as often as we needed him because it would also be unfair to his wife.
