"Lisa.""Hmmm?" Lisa hummed. She pulled open the oven's small door and placed the pan of chocolate cookies she had just made in before turning to her best friend, who had just arrived. "What is it?""I found another job." Karen put on her apron, taking her position at the sink. "A waitress. At a bar. It is night shifts, and the pay is pretty good. I asked for the both of us if you want.""A bar?" Lisa slammed the dough she was kneading against the bowl. "I will pass.""I thought so." Karen wiped her hands dry, then turned around to lean on the metallic table. "It sure will be boring without you.""Work isn't supposed to be fun." Lisa pointed out, and Karen ignored her. Saying instead."Did something happen?""What?"Karen rubbed the tip of her chin thoughtfully. "Your smile is so bright that my eyes are starting to sting. Did you get yourself a boyfriend behind my back or something?""As if." Lisa rolled her eyes, but the smile on her lips remained. She announced. "I already gathered

A CHANGE IN POINT OF VIEW.The room was coated in a deadly silence; no one dared to breathe out of line or say a word. All focused on reading the expression on his face.A blank look—means to redo.A slight hook at the end of his lips—not bad. Redo.A downward curve—has taken an interest and is seriously contemplating it.And a bright smile—whoever gave the presentation is a goner. Roasted.All the department heads sat pine straight on their seats, sweating profusely even under the cold temperature in the meeting room, as they watched the familiar smile slowly climb up Axel's lips."You spent a whole month—for this trash?" His eyes swept across the room, his voice dripping with venom."And Manager Owen. I have no problems with you having your subordinates do your work, but this—""I apologize, Mr. Axel." The middle-aged man quickly bowed in apology."Sorry? Sorry, won't cut this. The product is way below expectations." He stood up, pointing at the projection screen. "Where you all sle

As much as Lisa didn't want to do it, she really needed the money.And that's how she found herself in front of the big K-Tech company.Dressed in a black skirt and blue long-sleeved blouse, she was very meticulous about her appearance.Walking into the building, she greeted the receptionist. "Hello, I am here to see Mr. Axel."The lady looked up from her laptop and asked. "Hello. Did you book an appointment with him?" "No, but I do have this card. I am actually here for an interview." She quickly brought out the business card Axel had given to her.The receptionist checked it, then gave a slight nod. "7th floor; take the elevator to the left.""Thank you." Lisa released a sigh.'That was easy.'When she arrived on the 7th floor, she was directed to Axel's secretary.The lady took one look at her, then frowned. "You're late.""Sorry?" Lisa was puzzled."You are the new girl, right? Your resume is at 9. Please keep to that."'Isn't this supposed to be an interview?' She thought while

"Mr Axel." The star of the event came to meet them at the end.A smile on his face. "I didn't think you would come.""It just happened that I had free time. So I came to take a look." Axel replied indifferently.Author Caleb, didn't say anything. He glanced at Lisa. The book in her hand in particular."You didn't get a signing?""How did you know?" Lisa responded without thinking.She wasn't a reader, but she found the book to be interesting, so she bought it for Karen, who she knew would love it."I didn't see you at the table. It is impossible for me to forget such a lovely face.""Ah!" Lisa blushed at the unexpected response."I think I have a pen with me; would you like a signature?" Author Caleb Asked."I would like one." Lisa's eyes lit up as she quietly handed him her copy."Name?""Lisa—no—I meant Karen."Author Caleb, looked up at her questioning, and she explained. "The book is for a friend, and her name is Karen.""I see. There you go." He handed it back to her."Thank you.

Ms. Sarah saw this, then voiced out while eyeing him. "I can't believe this. You only served for her? Are we invisible or something?" "Manager Hans, don't you think you are acting partially?" Jamie teased, and Hans coughed up, his ears turning pink. He tried to explain. "That is because she is sitting right next to me." "And what about me?" Dahlia, who was to his left, raised a brow, and he pointed out. "You already have sauce in your food." "Well, that's right," Dahlia reasoned. The shop lady brought the drinks to their table, and Dahlia filled everyone's cup to the brim. The paper cups met mid-air, and everyone drank theirs to the bottom, except for Lisa, who didn't know the rules. "Another cup for Lisa." Jamie yelled excitedly. As someone who was also duped, he was happy to see another victim. "What? What did I do?" Lisa was puzzled. "There is still some alcohol in your cup." Dahlia said, filling it to the brim again. "It is a team thing. You should always finish you
