Chapter 5

Ava Celestine

"Ava Yu and Cleah Fermit, the president, Mrs. Lambert is calling you in her office. You must go immediately." The voice in the intercom beeps.

Cleah and I looked at each other as our eyes widened. We hurriedly fixed ourselves.

"What did we do? Any idea?" I asked while we are walking to the elevator.

We entered the elevator and pressed the floor number. "I didn't know also. Let just hope it's not bad." Cleah said and released a sigh of disappointment.

As soon as we stepped out from the elevator. Everyone's eyes snapped at us and started to murmur.

We acted like we didn't notice it and proceed to our president's office.

Cleah knocked and we heard a response from her. We entered slowly.

"Mind telling me, how good is my husband inviting you to a unique VIP club," Mrs. Lambert asked sternly, spreading the pictures on her table.

We stayed still in our place.

"You can move forward to see the pictures." She stated. We walked over to her table and saw the pictures.

We both gasped in horror.

Cleah and I talking to Mr. Lambert, Mr. Lambert saving me from falling, and Mr. Lambert looking behind my back, facing him.

"We... can explain... This is all coincidence." I said softly.

"Yeah, Mrs. Lambert. These are all coincidence. We-"

Cleah got interrupted when Mrs. Lambert smashed the pencil holder.

"TELL ME! Which one of you is my husband's Mistress!" she stated fuming in anger and threw the papers to us.

We stepped back in shock. " None of us is. Trust us Mrs. Lambert we never have interest nor feeling with our boss." I stated truthfully for her to calm down a bit.

"Really?"

"Yes, Mrs. Lambert. Ava doesn't do boyfriend while me actually I have a boyfriend in Good novel so... Is that considerable?... I mean Good novel boyfriends are a hottie." Cleah added an idiot message. I pinched her arms and she winced in pain. "Imaginably perhaps?" She added and I pinched her harder.

"Ow."

"You think, you could play with my mind? You two little girls. You two are pretty, sexy, kind so no doubts my husband will have a lust for you." She said and her eyes snapped toward us, realizing something. " I talk too much."

" Yes, we are pretty but Ava is sexier but kind--yeah, it was the two of us also--” Cleah stopped as I pinched her ears.

"Be more professional Cleah. Our job is at risk." I whispered. This girl is honestly daydreaming.

She shook her head and realized what she said. She cleared her throat.

"Mrs. Lambert we 100% sure that we don't have any interest, feeling or any signs that we like our boss. In fact, you are his wife." She stated politely and I nodded in agreement.

"I suggest you two quit the job. If you wouldn't it means you are guilty" She threatened.

"But...  We assured you--" She used her hand as a sign to be quiet and I bit my lip to stop.

"No more, No less. Leave my office." She said firmly and we didn't have a choice to leave her office silently.

Is this a mistake again?

We headed to our desk and started to fix everything.

" I am so sorry Ava... I didn't know that we would end up like this. I swear." Cleah started. I looked at her; her eyes are wet.

I was about t answer when her tears fell. "Don't cry Cleah, I know you are doing this just to cheer me up and I understand. It is not your fault because I myself decided to join you not that I cannot shop alone for my parents." I said and wiped her tears away.

"But Ava." She sobbed. "I thought you want your family to see you here at the job you have dreamed of."

" I can apply for another company so stop crying," I said and hugged her.

"But." I shushed her. "Thank you."

After packing our things, we did our resignation letter. We can stay here but our profile would be ruin. I don't like working in companies that I; myself have issues with bosses.

Holding our boxes while heading to her car. " How about you? Where will you apply?" I asked.

She shrugged. "I am planning to have a vacation for my parents, it's been years since I came home. I saved money for this actually." I looked at her." I mean this vacation. " She clarified.

I thought she is expecting this to happen.

We reached the parking lot and Cleah clicked the car keys. We opened the back and slid all our things.

"I think this is the last." She exhaled.

I nodded sadly. I love my job but sadly because of a mistake again. I got kicked out not only me but my friend also who is the breadwinner of their family.

"I am just going to pass out resignation to Mrs. Lambert." I excused and started walking.

"I'll be waiting here." I heard her.

I headed to our Mrs. Lambert office. I knocked and her sultry response to come in.

I twisted the knob and entered "Mrs. Lambert, here is our resignation letter. Accepted by our head." I said and bowed my head.

"Put it at the table and you may leave." She stated. I hurriedly put it on the table and walked to the door.

I walked directly to where Cleah is. She gave me a nod to enter the car. I slid and put my seatbelt on.

"Do you want to go shopping for your family? I might shop for my family too.” She suggested as she pushed the hand brake.

A smile made to my lips.  "The sounds good to me. " I commented.

"I'll just go to the kid's section," Cleah shouted, informing me while walking in the section's direction.

I picked up the Azeluxery Brand, softer skin soap. The most famous milk soap here. Azeluxery brands are cosmetics and skincare. I think my mom would like--love this, perhaps.

Flashback:

We are in the mart buying for our food. It's my mom's salary that's why we are here.

"What do you think your father would like to eat?" My mom asked, roaming her eyes around the meat section.

Dad again.

"I don't know Mom," I replied. She bought a kilo of pork chop and we headed to the soap section.

"At last, I can buy my only soap." She giggled. If other mom needs a lot of moisturizers and anti-aging. My mom is already happy with this soap.

I watched her as she saw her favorite soap but thinking she would buy it or not. The price is too pricey.

"Maybe not today. " She said and let go of the soap.
