"Can't you do your work?"

"I am sorry!" I panicked when Mister Ramirez looked at me with shut brows. I gulped as I felt my system shaking. I am nervous, okay? I cannot act normally, actions that I used to.

I can't even focus on what I am doing. I don't understand myself anymore.

"Do your thing before I fire you," he coldly said and left his office. I could feel his anger the way he gets off the room. Yes, I understand him. Who would not get angry when I started to get clumsy with everything I tend to do?

I should do my best before Mister Kiel Alexandro Ramirez fire the hell out of me.

I sighed and gathered all my strength to do my job. As usual, I just settled his schedule for today and tomorrow, about his upcoming appointments and the papers I should pass to the managers and employees. I just want to roll my eyes because my job on my first day is too hard while this time, it is already simple. Usage of brain and wise.

"Let's have lunch together again?" Dani called me. I forced a smile at her.

"I am sorry but I can't this time," I said and shook my head. I will focus more on my job and... I will start investigating what happened to my parents. I know it is hard. I will ask my friend, Zed, to help me. He might know someone that is sort of a detective and a police. I want to know what happened and what is the cause behind my parents' death.

Good thing Dani did not ask for any reasons anymore. It was just that she knew her place. I just did my work and I am eager to have my off. I want to get the justice my family deserves.

"Let's up at 2 AM, Miss Hernandez. Go with me to the conference hall."

Holy fuck...

Seriously? 2 AM? Is Mister Ramirez fucking serious with that? Okay, I know. I know that it's fine, it's normal, but... I really am eager to start my investigation!

I heaved a deep sigh and calm myself. "Yes, Mister."

I have no choice. I should not complain. I should go with the flow. We should be on the same page. This is my work. This is what I choose to do.

I stayed inside the office, scanning through the papers, and is waiting for the 2 AM to come. I am a bit nervous. I want to stay still and act normally but I just can't!

"Miss Hernandez," Mister Ramirez called me. I looked at him with my pursed lips. I thought he needs something but I shut when I saw his unreadable expression. "Aren't you feeling well?"

I bit the insides of my cheeks. What does he mean? "Uh, yes?"

He leaned against his seat and shut his brows. "What is happening with you?"

"What do you mean, Mister?"

"Look at yourself. You know what I mean."

I looked away from him. "I don't know... I am just fine. It was just that I am worried. I can't calm myself down."

"Better see your doctor, then."

My lips rose, a hint of sarcasm crept into my face. "You care?"

He chuckled. "You are my secretary. It will be my fault if you die in my office."

I was stunned for a moment. "Motherfucker."

The expression on his face changed and I just also realize what I said. I pursed my lips together into one line as my cheeks flushed and my ears heated in shame. What the fuck? Why did I curse him?! He might fire me in no freaking time!

"Kindly repeat it, Miss," he said coldly and with his dark eyes. I looked away from him and focus on working. "You cursed at me, did not you?"

I let out a sigh. "Yeah, I did and I did not mean it. I am sorry."

"How brave of you."

"I am sorry, Mister. I promise I will not do it again." 

"As you should."

I just kept myself shut. I looked at the wall clock and saw that it was just 1 AM. I stopped myself from yawning. I am sleepy and I have to stay up wide awake.

"Do you want to have a coffee, Mister?" I asked MIster Ramirez while I am arranging the papers on the table. I can hear nothing inside this room but the deafening silence alone.

"Yes."

"I will buy some, then."

"No, just call the guard."

"I can."

"It is dangerous outside."

I looked at him. "Huh?"

"It is not safe outside."

I did not fight after him anymore. I called the guard and asked for a coffee to get delivered to our floor. After two minutes, it already arrived. I went outside to see the guard and smiled at him.

"Thank you so much," I thanked him and get the coffee he is handing.

"No worries, Ma'am. Have a nice drink."

I nodded my head and went back inside. I gave Mister Ramirez his coffee while I on the other hand sat on the couch to take mine. We drink together without saying anything. I kinda feel awkward because we were both facing each other, yet we were busy with our stuff.

"What is the conference about anyway?" I asked him all of a sudden. I just let that question out without my notice.

"Deals with other companies," he said without giving me a look. I nodded my head and sipped on my cup. I did not ask him anymore and stood up from my seat. I went near the glass wall and set a small portion of the curtain aside for me to look at the city.

I sighed and roamed my eyes around. City lights are good. They are such a view, plus the shining light in the sky from the stars. And the moon, it is so beautiful as usual.

I stared at nothingness and sipped on my cup again. I don't want to think about it but I remembered those eyes again. The crimson eye from that stranger looking up my direction. That night... I was so afraid. I just want to collapse and lose with myself. I remembered what happened to me after that night. Zed has to bring me to the hospital because I was so upset and I cannot act normally.

Those eyes did not leave my system. Whenever I close my eyes, I remember those pairs of crimson eyes. Every time, those mere images flash my mind.

I looked at Mister Ramirez whose back is currently facing me. I don't know but I felt something strange. Seems like everything is familiar.

What is happening to me?

And she does not feel well, it was like she will be sick in no time.“Hey, what are you feeling?” Yanna asked her worriedly that she just answered with a shake of her head.“I am fine,” Talia said but her feeling says otherwise.“We should go to the hospital,” Yanna suggested and was about to call for her bodyguard but Talia stopped her. She does not want to go to hospital because she hate it. And for her, she could bear the weird feeling struck.“Don’t,” she uttered to stop her. “I am fine, Yanna, really. If you want to help, just get me hot water.”Yanna followed her immediately. As soon as Talia receive the hot water, she sighed and started to sip on the cup.

    Talia feel lonely the next week because her half another was not around. She felt like something is off, something is lacking and that was just Kiel's presence beside her. His presence is enough for her joy and she could not get enough. She have Liah at home but since she was going to school, she often gets alone inside the unit. Their maid would only be around when there is no one and it is a good thing there is someone she could talk to."Do you love eating vegetable salad?" she asked to the maid that is busy cooking food in the stove. The woman looked at her and smiled. The woman can not lie, she feels odd when her boss will talk to her like they were friends but she should get used to because Talia wants a conversation with her."Yes, I do eat every food that the table can offer," she answered. Talia is one year older than her and the woman has a big respect to Talia because of her personality and kindness."Hmm, good to hear. What was your name again? Sorry, I forgot about it," T

    Just as what is planned, they brought Liah in the hospital so her situation can be checked. Good thing there is no severe, it was just the reaction of her first batch of menstruation. They were nervous at first because Liah might have other pain she is feeling in her body but good thing she is healthy."I told you, I am fine," Liah said as they went inside their car. She sat in the backseat while the two were in front. "Anyway, the food last night is the best. I never taste like those in my entire life. Thank you."Talia heaved a deep sigh and looked at her. "Careful next time, Liah. And eat healthy foods so that disease will be shy to visit you."Liah chuckled. "I never got a mother that is worrying about me like you."Talia blinked as she did not expect her to say that. She glance at Kiel first that is focusing his eyes in the road but obviously listening to their conversation. Talia did not wish to hear about her story especially about her parents because it might hurt her, her pas

    He snaked his arms around her waist upon entering the decent restaurant. The side of his lips were curved while they head to their booked table. Talia on the other hand, she has an unreadable facial expression because she was just looking the way they are heading. Kiel can not even define if she is happy or not but since they are cool inside the car, talking all right, he just shrugged her poker face off.He then guided her to sit on her seat, holding her back and taking careful."Hmm, what do you want to eat?" he asked as son as he made on his seat. He looked at her."I am full," she said, making his smiles to fade. "I mean, yes, but I still want to eat. Vegetable salad will do, and maybe wine? Or coffee. And oh, deserts."His smiles plastered back. "What else?"Talia added some foods that Kiel failed to memorize. He was not even sure if Talia is serious about it because she mentioned almost twenty food from the restaurant. But she noticed that it was too plenty so she mentioned to t

    "We will have a dinner date later."Talia looked up to Kiel when she heard that from him. Her forehead then creased. She just remembered that they has not been dating since then, sometimes will just a random call or meeting. As Kiel noticed her expression, he bit his lower lip.He then added a mutter, "If that is fine to you..."Talia chuckled because Kiel seems nervous with the thought of Talia rejecting his offer. She tapped the side of the bed where she is sitting while Kiel on the other hand standing near the door. It has been a week after Kiel's long suffering with Talia's punishment and their relationship did not change. Their love for one another has just deepened and they are the happiest at the moment of Liah having her menstruation."Why you now seemed doubting?" she slowly asked and plant a faint smile on her lip. Kiel then avoided his look away. "Tell me you did nothing wrong, Kiel Alexandro."He gasped. How the hell she thought of that? "I am just being too careful with m

    "I was waiting for you."A small smile crept on his lips as Talia greeted his view. Kiel tiredly put his bag on the couch and walked near Talia. He sat on the bed and he was about to get closer to kiss her when Talia blocked her palm in front of his chest, stopping him from doing such a thing. That is when he heaved a deep sigh, now getting what the punishment Talia is talking about."Come on, babe. I can't bear with you not minding me, like I don't exist at all," he complained and bit his lower lip, staring at her beautiful soul lying on the bed. He even scammed her body as she was wearing a skinny pajamas. "I know you were mad -""Again," Talia hushed and lift herself up. "As per earlier, I am not mad. Not anymore. I just want you to know the consequences if you ever do that again.""I did not mean it -""I know, okay? I just want you to know it before you try to cheat on me or flirt with another girl," she said with an amused look on her face.Kiel then tsked and started to unbutto
