Scarlette Thompson
"Hey.."
"Hey Scarlette, I'm at the lobby."
"Lobby?" My eyes widen
"Kevin.. I-"
"Let's have lunch together okay?"
"Lunch?" I turned to see the clock and yes it's 12.30 already.
"Yeah.. I'll be waiting at the lobby." He said.
"Okay.. just give me 5 minutes." I said and he ended the call. I got up from my seat and took my bag. I walked out from my office to the lift. I pressed the button.
"Where are you going?" I jumped a little and turned to see Matthew Lemiere.
"For lunch, sir."
"Have lunch with me then." He said.
"Sir.. I don't want to be rude but I already have-"
"Cancel it and have lunch with me." He said and I was about to say something but.. and again.. he's my boss. I decided to call Kevin.
"Hello."
"I'm sorry Kevin, I can't." I said and sighed.
"Why?"
"I'm sorry.. Maybe next time.. I'm sorry." I said and the lift door opened. Matthew walked in first and I walked in. He pressed B for the basement.
"Okay then.." I ended the call and turned my head to Matthew.
"Um.. Sir."
"What kind of food do you like?" He asked.
"I like everything." I said.
"Sir.. I think it's a little bit weird for us to.. eat lunch.. I don't want to be rude. I mea-"
"Why? Is it a crime?" He turned his head to me and raised his eyebrows.
"Huh? No.. I mean it's not a crime but-"
"Then it's fine." He said arrogantly and as soon as the door opened he walked out. I walked out from the lift following him. He walked to his car and I stopped.
"Uhmm sir."
"What?" He asked. How can I ride this beautiful sports car and I'm his employee?
"I do-"
"Get in.. it's my order." He pointed and he got into the car. I walked to the car and got in. I put on the seatbelt right away and looked around.
"Sir.. I think this is inappropriate." I said in a really careful tone.
"Shut it.. say that again.. I'll.. I'll-" His phone rang and he took it out.
"What's wrong? I'm going there." He said and he drove out from the basement and sped up. I gulped nervously because he looked so serious. He drove to an unknown place and it's unfamiliar for me.
Suddenly there's a big place with lots and lots of gates. He stopped and tapped a black gold card. The big gate opened and there's another big gate. There's a lot of guards here and I gasped looking at this. We passed through 4 big iron steel gates.
Inside there's a big place and there's a lot of other sports cars. My jaw fell because this is just spectacular. He parked right beside the black lambo.
"Come out and follow me." He said and I took off the seatbelt. I got out and followed him quickly. He walked inside.
"Where?" Matthew asked.. oh dang.. it's the beautiful Joan Cesborn.
"Matthew.. Who is sh-"
"Be with her.." Matthew said and Joan nodded.
"I'm sorry.. I think it's better for me to walk back to-"
"It will take you 1 hour to go back to the office. Just wait.." She smiled and she gestured to me to follow her. I looked around and there's a big gym inside, g*n practice, swimming pool and a lot of other things that I don't get.
"Never tell anyone about what you see.." Joan reminded.
"I swear with my life that I won't."
"Good.. So what's your relation with Matt?" She asked as she asked me to sit down on the sofa.
"His employee, Ms. Cesborn."
"Oh.. Which division?"
"T I L E."
"Oh right? His secretary?"
"No, Ms. Cesborn. I'm T I L E's designer." I smiled and she nodded.
"You're here.. I've been looking yo-" Oh..
"Who is she?"
"Matt's T I L E designer." Joan said.
"Oh.. I'm so sorry." I smacked my head and got up.
"I'm Scarlette Thompson. T I L E's designer." I said introducing myself.
"Oh.. I'm Cailey Locason." My eyes widen.. right. I'm so stupid. This must be the 7 Gold Life's place. I shook her hand and she gestured to Joan to go out.
"I have to be with her.. Matthew ask me to-"
"Andrew is looking for you.. you need to go." Cailey said, gesturing to her to go out. Joan got out and Cailey sat on Joan's place.
"I'm sorry but why are you here?" She asked me in a really careful tone.
"We were going to have lunch but suddenly Mr. Lemiere got a phone call. He rushed his way here.." I said and she nodded.
"So.. what's your relation?" She asked.
"He's my boss." I smiled and she looked at me weirdly.
"Girlfriend?" She asked and I shook my head crazily.
"No.. Ms. Locason. I'm not h- I mean Mrs. Malvon, I'm not his girlfriend." I gestured a no and she nodded weakly.
"Oh.. you must be hungry." She said and got up. She walked to the cupboard and took out the bread. She gave me.
"Chocolate bread, Morris bought it this morning."
"I can't eat this.. this might for some-"
"No.. Eat it." She smiled and put it on my hand. Suddenly someone bursted the door, we both turned to the door.
"Come with me." He gestured to me.
"What's wrong?" Cailey asked Matthew.
"Take her to the main room." Matthew said to Cailey and she nodded. Matthew left and Cailey gestured to me to go. I nodded and followed her to the main room. I gasped to see the main room.. it's so cool. The technology is just.. it's in 3D and.. wow.. oops.. Everyone was already looking at me. I smacked my head.
"Sit here." Matthew looked at me seriously and gestured to me to sit down. My eyes widened when I saw Kevin's photo on the screen.
"Kevin?"
"Yes.. Kevin." Matthew said as he gestured to me to sit. I sat down and looked at the screen.
"My parents?" I turned to see my parent's photo.
"What's the reason behind your parents death?"
"Mass shooting." I answered.
"Who is she?" Matthew slid his iPad and pointed at the big TV screen.
"Mrs. Beckervil."
"What's her relationship with him?" Matthew asked and everyone was looking at me intensely.
"Grandmother.." I said
"He lied." Matthew said and my eyes widened when he showed me the next video.
