"Oh, you're on your way to the penthouse, too? That's great! You know what, forget about cleaning and let's just hangout in my office!" Amanda suddenly suggested.Lara looked taken back at the CEO's suggestion."But I'm still at the middle of my work, and besides, why would a CEO hang out with a lowly employee like me?" she inquired."Why not? And why would you say that you're just a lowly employee? Look, everyone in this company is equal. There's no such thing as being a higher employee and a lowly employee. We're just normal human beings and we're working to survive in this crazy world. And by the way, I'm inviting you as the company's CEO, but I'm inviting you as a friend. So, what do you say?

Amanda smilingly explained, while looking at the invitation."Oh, here's another invitation for your parents. Don't forget to give this to them, okay?" Emmett reminded his fiancee."I promise I will give it to my parents. Don't worry." Amanda said in return."And once my parents diamond wedding anniversary is over, we should start making preparations fo

But she can't help herself but to hide their relationship, as she's afraid and concerned on what people will say about it.Amanda lets out a big, helpless sigh after she went back the memory lane.

It's Lara's day off from work today, and as usual, she is in her small apartment all alone.
