Second Time Around Chapter 33
“We have a lot of complaints,” Art put a lot of folders on my table. “And most of them came from our customers.”I didn’t bother to take a look at that folder because I have an idea about its content. And I also didn’t bother to turn my attention to Art and I just stayed looking at my computer. “Just give it to Sir Enver,” I said. “And give a copy to Lucien.”“You are not going to do anything about it?”I sighed and this time, I turned to him. “We have to know Sir Enver and Lucien’s opinion first, Art. And if they can’t find a solution for themselves, then that is when we are going to do something, okay?”Well, I don’t want them to become too dependent on me when it comes to every problem that Raiden faces. Yes, I can do something about the complaint and make sure to stop it but if I am the one who moves, it is not going to be good at Raiden and Enver.They have to remember that I am only here for three months so they can’t count on me for everything.“Oh, right.” He took the folder a

Enver took care of the complaints in his shop while I went to a friend who owns a detective agency. And to be honest, I am not sure if I can convince that one to help me since I know that he is also mad at me.“Ahm, Miss…” I called the receptionist as soon as I reached the floor where my friend’s office was.She looked at me and smiled. “Hi, ma’am. How may I help you?”“Ahm…” I cleared my throat. “I don’t have an appointment but I was wondering if I may speak with Mister Lainz. Just tell him my name.” I put my business card in front of her and she immediately took it.“He doesn’t have anything to do as of this moment but I am not sure if he will entertain you,” she said. “He told me earlier not to disturb him. But I will try.” She took the phone and called the office. And after some time, she looked at me while still in the line. “Ma’am, Mister Lainz said he doesn’t know anyone named Milan Escuero.”I sighed. I am not sure if he is teasing me or if he just doesn't want to face me.I t

“No! I want a high-end Anox car!” That scream greeted me as soon as I entered Raiden’s shop. There is a commotion beside the counter where Enver was still talking with an old woman. And from what I heard I think she is one of the customers that keep insisting on buying Anox cars even though we have a policy regarding that specific car.“Are you not ashamed of what you are doing?” the old woman said. “I am one of your regular customers here, right? Every time you launch a new model or brand of car, I am one of the first customers who buy it to support you. But what the hell are you doing now?”“Madam, we appreciate your support to our company,” Enver said with a calm voice, though I can see in his eyes that his patience is at its limit. “We really do. But those high-end Anox cars are here for a purpose. We cannot sell it to you. I am sorry—”“Shut up!” she screamed again. “I don’t care about any of that. I already said what I want and you will give it to me right now!”“What is happen

“You have been working for me for almost a month but this is the first time you invited me to have some snacks with you,” Enver said while we are eating the food that he bought from a fast food chain.And since he bought too much, we were unable to set it inside his car so we decided to stop by at the nearest park to eat all of it.“Are you starting to get comfortable with me around you?”“You know that I am just being professional when I am working with you,” I said. “And I am just hungry and you are already with me so I invited you.”“So, you are still not comfortable with me around?”I shook my head. “Let’s just be honest with each other, okay?” I faced him. “You are my ex-husband who cheated on me. And I am your ex-wife who just left you without even saying goodbye. Five years later, we just happened to meet again without any warning and since then, we have only focused on working on this project. Do you even think that it is that easy to get comfortable with you?”“Then, do you w

“No!” Mikea firmly said after her sister explained the reason why she went to Raiden.When she arrived, we immediately entered Enver’s office and we let them talk to each other first. We don’t want to meddle for now, especially when it is a family affair.It might anger Mikea even though we just want to help.So, we decided to hear them out first and let Michaella talk about all her reasons why she keeps insisting on working. At the same time, let Mikea talk about why she keeps stopping her sister to work.“Dad already talked to you, right? You can’t work as long as you are still studying,” Mikea added. “Why don’t you just listen?”“Because I can see that you are struggling with the problem that I created,” Michaella answered. “It is my fault that Mom got a heart attack. So, why don’t you just let me help? At least lift this guilt that I am feeling for putting her there.”“You are a graduating student now, Micha. What if you neglect your study because of the job that you are insisting

“Milan!” Enver greeted me as soon as I entered his office. He is holding a folder and he looks happy so I think he received good news. “Milan!”“W-what is the matter?” I asked. And I didn’t manage to resist when he suddenly hugged me tight. “S-sir Enver?”He immediately realized what he did and let go of me. “So-sorry about that.”Shit! I can’t believe he just hugged me. And I can't believe that I miss that hug.I cleared my throat and faced him. “W-what happened?”I went inside his office and closed the door because a lot of gossipers that saw Enver hugging me were starting to gather outside.“Look at this.” He gave me the folder that he is holding.And I opened it.“The main branch said that they already sell four of the high-end Anox cars,” he said. “And it is made through the promotion that we just discussed with Mikea and her sister last week.”“Oh my god!” I covered my mouth to stop myself from screaming.I didn’t expect that within just a week, we will be able to sell four of o

As much as possible, I tried to work in silence. And to make sure of that, I never let myself stay in the same room as Enver.And whenever there are jobs that need to work outside the office, I immediately volunteered to do that just to get away from him.Yes, I won’t deny it. I am happy to be with him again. It is nice to see and be with him again after five years.But whenever I stared at him, I suddenly remembered everything that happened before. The cheating. The lies. Those times when he went home late and drunk.It was too painful for me to keep remembering those times.So, for the sake of our job, I decided to distance myself from him.“You are avoiding him.”I almost fell from the chair when Ferry and Castiel suddenly appeared in front of me. “W-what the hell?” I roamed my eyes around and saw Dashiel at the counter. “He called you?” I turned my eyes back at them.Since I don’t really have anything to do at the office, I told Enver that I would take a half-day from work today a

“Good morning!” Art happily greeted me as soon as I got into our office.I smiled at him and that actually shocked him.“Woah,” he said. “I guess you woke up on the right side of the bed.”I put my things on the table and looked at him. “Well, I had a great time last night.”Ferry and Castiel got totally drunk last night. And as I planned, I managed to avoid getting drunk like them. I just stick to drinking two glasses of wine, juice, and lots of food.While my two friends decided to get wasted. They even added another batch of alcohol as soon as their first order finished. And as a result of that, they couldn’t even walk on their own when I invited them to get home.They even gave me trouble on whether I would bring them to their home but in the end, I chose to just bring them to my house. It is already late and I am sure Millie is waiting for me to get home.So, I just let them sleep in my room while Millie and I slept in my living area.And to pay for all the trouble they caused me
