"It is very simple. All you have to do is analyze it the best way you can. Just take the facts and refrain from adding too much of your opinion."Ms. Sarah explained and Lisa nodded along, listening attentively. "Drafting a report isn't really that hard. It is something that becomes more familiar the more you do it." The older lady said it in a soft voice."I see." Lisa pouted with sagging shoulders.Carol had nagged her so many times about how lacking her reports always were. It was so bad that she couldn't resist asking for help."Don't worry, you will get the hang of it soon." Ms. Sarah patted her shoulder, and she looked up."You think?"Lisa was a slow learner. It was something she was well aware of. While she was a top student back at school, it was solely based on her mother's strictness. Lisa was kind enough to work twice as hard as others to get a satisfactory result."Try this." Ms. Sarah looked through her drawers, which were in a stack of papers. "These are some data I wor

Axel handed Lisa a bottle of water.Her fingers shook as she struggled to open it, so he snatched it back and unscrewed the cover before giving it back to her.Lisa glanced up at him. The rims of her eyes were faintly red. "Thank you."He crossed his arms and said, "You know you couldn't stand it, so why didn't you say so?"Lisa pressed her lips together, saying softly, 'Everyone wanted to watch it.""Are you stupid?""No, I am not." Lisa frowned."Then why do you act like you are?""I—i just——" She lowered her head, a soft sob escaping her lips."Wait, are you crying?""No." She had been so scared back in the movie room. Lisa has had a phobia for horrifying things ever since she could remember.Axel got on his knees, lifting her chin up with his index finger. There were tears streaming down her face, and her nose had a glow of red."You are really crying. Is it because of what I said?""No." Lisa sniffed, wiping her face with the back of her palm. "It's not.""Don't do that." He stop

Axel realized the meaning behind her words when they arrived at the hospital. He stepped out of the car with unsteady legs, and a green face. Whereas the cause of his misery was smiling rainbows."Why?" He looked at her, unable to resist asking.Lisa scratched the back of her head with a bit of guilt. "I am sorry. I just couldn't help it."Thinking 'driving in a normal pace with such a car should be a crime.'Axel was tossed around until he saw black. Lisa had driven so fast that he felt his soul must have left his body at some point.He took a moment to adjust himself, then proceeds to walk towards the hospital entrance.Lisa hurriedly locked the car, and follows after him, almost running into him when he stops. "Right. Get me some flowers.""Flowers?" Lisa blinked twice with an unsettled feeling."Get well flowers. Make it a big bouquet." "Where am I supposed to get flowers?" "That is for you to know." He smile sweetly before walking off.'flowers! Flowers!! Where do I get flo

The company was working on an ad with a very popular actress, with Carol and Lisa supervised on their side, if it could be called supervising. She had to deal with the refreshments for the staff, report any problems, and help out in any way that she could. Yoo-Jin, with the English name, Jane Harper, was a half-Korean and half-British popular actress and model. She was well known for her astounding looks and great acting skills. And having her advertise the company's newest laptop model was a big hit. Everyone was excited to meet her, and she was approached by fans for signatures the moment she got off the camera. Even Lisa, who had not heard or known of the actress's existence, was impressed by her elegant demeanor.At noon, they all took a break and Yoo-Jin retreated to the dressing room specially prepared for her. Lisa took care of the refreshment and discussed with the photographer on the progress. Feeling pleased, she excused herself before going to t

Lisa walked into Axel's office and saw him staring at his face in a small mirror. Noticing her arrival, he looked up and Lisa paused in her steps. On the middle of his forehead was a small red spot. "Is that a pimple?"Axel grunted, putting the mirror away. "It appeared this morning, and although it is small, it hurts pretty much." Lisa held back her itchy hands, clasping it behind her back. "I received a call from Mr Schindler. It is an invitation.....""I am not attending." Lisa was already used to him and wasn't in the least surprised. "It is his eldest daughter's engagement. Should I send him a gift?""Make it expensive." "Understood." She glanced at her watch, then said. "Also. You have a meeting on the third floor. Right about—now.""Carol already left for the seminar?" Axel asked, once again bringing out the mirror to take a look at his face. "She went before noon." Lisa replied. Axel used the hair at the forefront of his head to cover up the pimple before standing up. "O

Lisa could feel eyes on her as she walked into the company's lobby. She even saw a few co-workers point at her and they seemed to be talking about something related to her under their breaths. Entering the elevator, there was a man and a woman behind her, and without even turning to take a look, she knew that they had their gaze fixed on her. 'Did something happen?' Lisa had a bad premonition as she stepped into the office. Everyone was gathered behind Hans, who was showing them something in his phone. They all looked up at her footsteps and Lisa halted in her steps. "Is something wrong?" She asked softly.Dahlia scowled, the disgust in her eyes thinly hidden. "So you are that kind of person?""What?.....What do you mean?"Hans avoided her eyes as he handed her his phone. Lisa pursed her lips, lashes lowering to stare at the warmly lit screen. It was a post made on the company's forum. And the post about her, a woman who has no educational background, but was able to become the

The next day Lisa arrived at the company early, as always.She first arranged the day's meeting files into a folder and then went to the break room to prepare Axel's normal morning tea.With a short knock, she walked into the office, surprised to see him leaning on his table unresponsive."Axel." She called out softly and he raised his head, with a blank stare. Humming under his breath."Hmm....""Good morning Mr Axel." Placing the tray on the table, she unconsciously gave him a once-over with her eyes.He was acting weird."Here is your tea. And this is your schedule for today." She put the planner next to the tray, and then hesitantly asked. "Is there anything else you need?""No." He replied curtly, sitting up."Okay. Call me if you need anything." She purse her lips, withdrawing out of the office.'something about him does looks off.' She thought to herself.Putting off any distraction's, she made herself a hot cup of coffee, then began the day's work.After about an hour or so, s

With a heart full of annoyance, Lisa sat down and ate all the toast and scrambled eggs herself. Then clean out all the dirty dishes using the dishwasher.The living room was big, almost three times the size of her room, and although arranged sophisticatedly, with exotic designs and artwork hanging on the walls, sitting alone on the light brown sofa, Lisa was hit with a feeling of emptiness.It was so quiet that she could almost hear her own breath in her ear. The mansion was lavish and grand. But also lonely and empty. She could not imagine someone living every single day of the year in such way.'does he not feel lonely?' Lisa quickly shook those thoughts as they came. 'of course not. He must have a lot of friends....and girlfriends.'After idling away her time for a few minutes, she succumbed to her worries and stood up to check on Axel.Hoping he was asleep.She contemplated for a while, standing in front of the door. Whether to knock or not. Afraid of disturbing him if he were as

"What are you wearing?" Axel's eyes twitched as Lisa walked towards him.She scanned his body tailored, navy blue suit, matched with a dark ash tie.His hair was made in a messily, sexy style, and she is hit with a realization. "Are we going somewhere important?""Tell me." He gives her a scowl. "Of course yes. Why else would I ask you to dress nice if it isn't somewhere important?""That is also what you said last time and I ended up overdressing." Lisa said hinting to the last time she followed him to the hospital.Axel looked at her, at lost for words. In the end he lets out a sigh, brushing his fingers through his curls. "If you give me ten minutes I can go back and change into something el—""Don't bother." He opened the door for her and said indifferently. "Get in.""What? I can't go like this, can I?" Lisa immediately protested. Feeling it would be too embarrassing.Axel stared straight at her then repeated. "Get in."'ah, wherever it is your loss. After all I am going in you

The event was held in a hotel, and Axel handed his keys to the frontman walking in the red carpets with an arm linked to Lisa's. For Lisa, who wasn't used to the intense flashing of cameras, she felt the world turn white for some seconds and only recovered when they entered the main hall."Are you alright?" Axel glanced at her, and she pressed down the urge to rub on her eyes, not wanting to ruin her makeup. She nodded stiffly. "I am good.""You should be, after all this has just began."Axel wasn't bluffing when he said this. They first went on to congratulate the celebrant, then the host, which was his children, and after then it was business mode, and Lisa was once again reminded of the fact that Axel wasn't just any bipolar jerk. He was the CEO of the top tech company in the world. Every word he said hit on the point, and how he could easily dominate any discussion couldn't fail to amaze her. It was to the extent where Lisa, who thought of herself to be really extroverted, fe
