Chapter 13: Painting
AS SOON as I entered the office, Gee immediately looked at me. It was as if he was really looking forward to my arrival. Not only him but also the others. They all looked at me immediately. As if they have to do is approach me and find out what happened. But of course, they are ashamed to do it. Only Gee dared to ask me.
"Hey Girl. Where are you from, huh? Do you know I'm waiting for you? " He raised his eyebrow as he darted me to my table. Gee is talkative really. He did not also know how to lower his voice.
My forehead frowned. Of course, we should have had lunch earlier.
How could I forget that?
I slapped on the forehead and faced him. "I'm sorry, Gee, I didn't inform you right away. You know I was called, didn't you?"
"Eh, why are you alone now? Don't you say that one hour you talked with him? And what is it I hear? Mr. Hernandez, and you left the company?"

[Charmane POV]Everyone kept an eye on me. But as usual, I just ignored it. I didn’t go straight to my desk which surprised others, especially Gee. I walked directly to Ma’am Celly’s office. I just wanted to clarify things, even if it's not vague that it's true that I will be his secretary.I knocked three times before entering her office.“Good morning, Ma’am,” I greeted her first.“Good morning. Take your seat, Miss Cordova.” Ma’am Celly sat me down first, then she spoke again. “I think you already know it.

Then he focused his stare at the closed elevator.“Charmane Cordova! You witch, I don't know much. Get ready later after our work. You are deceitful,” Gee whispered to me."I don't know what you're saying there," I whispered as well.“Oh, innocent?. Hmp! I'm mad at you.

I glanced at Gee. “Talk to you later…” I whispered, then I followed Mr. Hernandez.He immediately got inside his car without staring in my direction. I hesitated to get in his car.

I would have left his office because being with him in his office made me feel uncomfortable. Most especially the way he glanced at me. It was always giving me damn feelings.I even overcame running non-stop along the highway. If I could just snatch out of his eyes, I would have done."Excuse me, Sir," I said goodbye to him, turning away."Wait, Miss Cordova," he said firmly, stopping me from coming out."Do you have anything else to order?" I turned around again but I wasn't glancing at his eyes.“Nothing. Don't leave first. Come here and join me with this coffee,” he said, still looking straight at me.I don't want that, the heat of the weather, to add even more the warmth of his gaze.“B-but, Sir, I still have work to do and finish my work.

Anyway, what are you doing here? Do you need anything?” I said while getting my paperwork on the table.“See, you're not listening. What are you thinking?”"Nothing." I looked up at him.“Okay.

Wow, it’s a Spanish phrase, huh. Nice one.As far as I can see the outside of the subdivision, is really affluent. It's so beautiful, to think that I'm just outside. What if I'm already inside? I guess the houses there are mansions.Since the place is exclusive, of course, their security is strict. The numerous security teams scattered outside and inside the gate. Usually, in other subdivisions, there are only has two or three guards at the entrance.“Good evening, Ma’am. Where are you going?" the guard asked me."Ferrer residence," I replied.He took a logbook from the guardhouse, then returned. "Can I have your name and ID, Ma'am?" he asked politely.
