Without feeling guilty, Kylie walked on backward. She didn't care about her friend, who was groaning in pain from her arm jab."Who told you to make fun of people?" she chirped.Kylie was pleased that day. It was like she had made a new friend. In the past, she thought Celine was an arrogant girl. After almost a week, she realized that Celine was a fun friend. Indeed, people shouldn't judge someone's personality by their outward appearance. Make sure to refrain from judging a book by its cover. Get to know her better and then you'll see whether she's good or bad.Celine, trailing behind her, was stunned by the back garden Kylie was referring to. She wandered around the yard. The rows of potted ornamental plants in neat rows looked beautiful and organized. The pots were arranged by size from the smallest to the largest. The various types of flowers emitted a fragrant fragrance even to the surroundings. The presence of several butterflies and beetles added to the beauty of the scene th

That night, Celine did not sleep well. She had several nightmares and cried bitterly for no reason. The images of her dreams were hazy, and she couldn't remember them clearly.The following day, she woke up with a heavy head. She wanted to call in sick if it wasn't for the enormous responsibility waiting for her at work. Unfortunately, the job entrusted to her was on a deadline. At breakfast in the dining room, Celine only drank her chocolate milk with a slice of jam bread. Her mother, who doesn't like family members who don't eat breakfast, immediately reprimanded her,"Come on, eat the rice first, Celine! You can't go if you don't have breakfast!" "So sorry, Mom. Just this once I had bread and milk for breakfast. I have to arrive early in the morning. Something must be done quickly," Celine replied while putting in her lunch box that her mother always prepared at the dining table during breakfast. Not because Celine was too lazy to prepare it herself. Indeed, Mrs. Maggie wanted t

"Well, this is our eldest daughter, the one I usually tell you about, Albert," said Mr. Felix, introducing Celine. Celine blushed while shaking hands with the man who seemed taller than her father in terms of age and establishment. It could be seen from the couple's suit with his wife, whose fabric looked classy and expensive."Hello, Celine. It's true what Mr. Felix said. His daughter is indeed beautiful and graceful. Isn't she, Mom?" Mr. Albert said kindly as he shook hands and then asked his wife's opinion, who was sitting casually next to him. The lady, who looked still beautiful at her age, probably around 55 years old, nodded with a smile and extended her hand to Celine. "I am Esmee. And this is our only son; his name is Alex.”Celine, who had been avoiding eye contact with the young man, began to tremble because, this time, she could not help but look at each other and even shake hands to introduce herself."Alex, and you are Celine? Hi!"Celine also welcomed the young man's

"Thank God...," Celine, Kylie, and Eva exclaimed hysterically together. "Oh wow, I'm so relieved that this pesky job is finally over, guys," Celine cheered happily.The three drowned in euphoria after completing the job according to the target. It was a source of pride for the employees, especially since there would certainly be a bonus from their superiors to appreciate their hard work for the company."Oh, Gosh. What an unspeakable two weeks, huh,""Yes, I swear, I will remember this job,""It's like being chased by a ghost, huuuft ...,""You truly must believed that I have nightmares every night, you know, wkwkwk, it's really scary,"The chatter in the material check room was interrupted when Mrs. Jane approached them. She appeared to be carrying a file. When she reached their table, she commented,"You all look so happy,"The three of them looked at each other, confused about what to answer,"Yeah, just so happy, Ma'am, the job was done on time," Celine said."Here, the new job

Unconsciously, Celine stared intensely at the man in front of her. Her eyes carefully observed every move of the man without blinking. No, it wasn't because she was fascinated or fell in love at first sight, because there was nothing extraordinary about the man's appearance. He was tall slim, with thick, crew-cut hair, a slightly flared nose, and thick lips that strengthened the impression that he was quiet.Oh my, Celine continued to watch him. It was as if she was searching for something special about the man that made her unable to look away. She was also intrigued by a strange feeling that seemed to seep into her since they were close."Here it is! Those people, make us wait until I approach them before they prepare our orders. Damn!" Kylie exclaimed suddenly, now standing next to Celine again. She brought a tray with their orders on it.Celine felt a bit embarrassed, realizing she had been so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice Kylie's efforts to save their stomachs
