THE BOSS
1477 Words
Ellena had already finished cleaning herself. Although his head still felt dizzy from the alcohol last night. But Ellena didn't want to lose to the pain. He will still choose to work rather than lie all day in bed. According to Ellena, it would only make her head hurt more. Either that principle was created from getting used to working, or maybe Ellena didn't want to get Victor into trouble without her. Ellena's mind would be freer when her task was done.

Ellena made a call to Tina's number.
*ON PHONE CALL*
Tina: Hello, Elle?
Elena: Tina. Can I have your help?
Tina: Always to the point. What is it?
Ellena: Today I will come late to the office. Can you help me make some tea or coffee for Mr. Victor?
Tina: Huh? You're late, Elle. Not like the usual you.
Elena: I know. My head is a little dizzy.
Tina: Rest. You're too tired to work with him. So do I.
Ellena: Regarding his attitude back then. Don't take it to heart. Mr. Victor has a lot on his mind. I'm sure he likes your job.
Tina: Just a small mistake. And he threw everything, Elle. Who doesn't hurt?
Elena: I see. But, you have to keep trying. Do not ever give up. You can do it again. If you need help, I'm always ready for you.
Tina: Huh. You are indeed a woman Elle can always rely on. If only I could be like you.
Ellena: Trust me, you don't want to be like me.
Tina: Haha. Speaking of your request earlier. He had already asked me to make coffee or tea.
Elena: Then?
Tina: He only asked to make 1 cup for his guest who came this morning.
Elena: Guest?
Tina: Yes, guest. A man. I don't know him.
Ellena: As far as I remember, Victor didn't have an appointment this morning.
Tina: Maybe you got it wrong or forgot.
Ellena: I won't forget about the schedule, let alone wrong. Did Mr. Victor make his promise? But usually, he will ask me to fill it in the schedule.
Tina: I don't know, Elle. You understand it better. You're the secretary.
Elena: Hmmm. Then, how? Why did he only ask to make one drink?
Ellena: He just wants your tea or coffee, Elle. Was it because he was afraid that I would poison him after he finished scolding me? Hihihi.
Elena: Hahaha. You could be Tina. He couldn't be like that.
Tina: Who knows?
Elena: If it's like that. It means the Boss is afraid of you. Hahahaha.
Tina: Hahaha.
Ellena: Well then, Tina. I'm done getting ready, soon to the office after stopping at the pharmacy.
Tina: Don't push yourself too hard, Elle.
Elena: Thank you for your concern. You too.
Tina: Ready. He will definitely like my revision this time.
Elena: Absolutely! You've done very well. Remember! If you need my help, don't hesitate, okay?
Tina: Sip Elle. I'll continue to work first. Make sure you get here quickly, or the Boss will be in a lot of trouble. Hihihi.
Elena: hahaha. Bye, Tina.
Tina: Bye, Elle.
End Call

"Guest? Whose guests are coming?"
Huuuffttt! Ellena took a deep breath and then shrugged.
"Okay Elle. Now prepare for your day." Ellena smiled at the end of her monologue.
As planned today, Ellena stopped by the pharmacy to buy some medicine to erase last night's hangover. After that, She went to Garry Boutique and Salon. Just to say hello and inform you about her torn dress.
***
"Nothing happened? Are you sure?" said Garry with his mouth hanging open.
"No Garry! What do you expect?" Ellena glared at Gerry.
"I think you guys have had a hot and exciting night. Hahaha"
Ellena hit Gerry's arm lightly.
"You are!"
"So what happened to my dress? You didn't bring it?"
Ellena scrunched up her face, feeling guilty.
"Sorry, Gerry. I accidentally made the cleavage torn. You're not going to use it at this season's fashion show are you?"
"If I tell you this will you feel bad?"
Elena looked at Gerry.
"Yes! I'm going to use it in this season's fashion show!"
Elena bit her lower lip. "I'm sorry" Her face looked guilty.
"But you know the positive side? I knew that the dress model would tear at the slit." Garry nodded, narrowing his eyes. "Actually from the start I had thought this would happen. The cut doesn't seem right. Hahaha hmmm...." Gerry's laughter suddenly stopped when he saw Elle's face, who was now looking at her sharply.
"So you knew it was going to happen and you still gave it to me, Gerry?"
"Ehm, wouldn't it be more fun for your first night?"
"GERRY!!!! So you did it on purpose??!!"
"Hahaha. My goodness! I thought you liked him Elle."
"Haisshhh!!! It's just your thoughts! Cruel! I doubt you are my friend or not!"
"Hahaha." Gerry laughed, seeing Ellena's annoyed face. "Okay, sorry, sorry. The dress is free for you, and bring it here so I can fix it." Gerry smiled as he played his eyebrows up and down again and again.
Elena pouted her lips. "You're seducing me?"
"Come on Elle. The dress is very beautiful on your body. And it's free…."
"You think I'm a fan of discounts like you, huh?"
Gerry shook his head. "No, you don't. But you're a Time Efficiency fan. You no longer need to linger in the boutique just to choose a dress. Hah!"
Ellena smiled faintly as she glanced at Gerry.
"Is not it? Come on, I know you like it." Gerry headed Ellena's arm.
Elena let out a laugh. "Yes, Yes, Yes. Thank you, Gerry. But I'd say it's good if the cleavage is reduced a bit."
Gerry held his cheeks with a surprised expression.
"What?? You want sexier than that."
"Shh! I mean closed a bit!"
"You said it was reduced."
"Gerry!"
"Hahaha. Yeah, yeah, you're afraid the Boss wants you more, aren't you?" Gerry pinched Elle's teasing lips.
"Okay this talk is Over! I go first. I'll bring the dress tomorrow."
"Oh come on! Are you ready to go?"
Ellena stood up, took her bag.
"Bye, Gerry."
Gerry smiled adorably while looking at Elle's back. "Bye, Elle."

Ellena arrives at Diamond Group. She walked quickly to the elevator while checking the checklist on his cellphone.
Brukk!
Her body hit someone.
"Ouch!"
The man that Elle hit held her in the arms.
"Are you okay?"
"Eh?" Elle looked up.
The man frowned at Elena's face. "Hey, I think I know you?"
"Huh?" Ellena looked back confused, and his face looked familiar.
They stared at each other for a moment. The man had not let go of his grip on Ellena's arms.
"Aaah, I remember!"
"Aaah, I remember!"
they both said at the same time.
"Cinderella!" The man said with a smile, then let go of his hand.
"Cinderella?"
"I put the shoes on for you!"
"Aahhh. hahaha," Ellena nodded in understanding and laughed lightly.
The man smiled back, showing dimples that looked cute.
"Sorry, I didn't pay attention to the road."
"It does not matter. Hitting a Cinderella won't hurt."
Ellena laughed again as she looked away, blushing at the man's joke.
"If the first meeting was accidental, and the second meeting was just a coincidence, then for the third meeting later--" the man held back his words.
Ellena hugged her chest then looked at her while raising an eyebrow. She was waiting for the man in front of her to continue speaking.
"I'll consider her a mate." The man looked at Elle attractively. Show interest.
"Okay prince. But unfortunately my fairy godmother is gone, and now almost all of my time is spent serving the stepfather. So, maybe there won't be a third meeting."
"Stepfather? Hahaha. Your Boss?"
"You could say that."
"So you work here?"
"Hmm that's how it is." Elena smiled. "Then what are you doing here?"
"Ah, I just met an old friend."
"Oowww." Elena nodded.
"You look a little pale. Are you sick?"
"Ah no."
"Hmm, make sure you don't forget to take your vitamins," he said kindly.
"Thank you for your attention."
"So, actually I want to get acquainted. But it looks like I'm just waiting for the third meeting. If we still meet That means it's destiny."
Ellena responded by shrugging her shoulders. "Okay!"
The man looked back at Ellena's face in shock.
"See you later, Cinderella."
"See you later prince." Ellena smiled, then chanted his name silently. ["Edward Liu"]
The man left with his last smile. Ellena turned her body to face the man's back, who was getting further and further away.
Ellena chuckled as she said quietly,
"Tsk! Unfortunately I already know your name dr. Edward Liu."

Ellena smiled and took a deep breath.
"Okay, Elle! Time to meet the stepfather, 'The Boss'!"
