Libra & Venus

Chapter 4

Around... around

The sound of the phone in the pantry room startled Venus and Luna, who were lost in their own thoughts.

"Let me answer it." Luna walked over to the phone and picked it up.

"Who?" asked Venus, when she saw Luna busy preparing something.

"Mr. Libra, please make me a cup of tea," replied Luna. Her hands were busy brewing tea in a cup.

"Oh..." Venus stood up from her seat, preparing to make drinks for

other employees. Because at this time of day, all employees are already busy with their work.

"I'll take this first." Luna left Venus alone. Venus just nodded her head, because she was busy at the moment. After finishing

After preparing everything, Venus quickly delivered the drinks one by one to the employees' desks. Fortunately, there were only a few employees on the eighth floor, so

Venus's job wasn't too demanding. This floor was indeed reserved for the President Director, but there were several employees who were specifically assigned to stand by on that floor.

"Who's that for?" asked Venus, after returning to the pantry. She saw Luna, who was brewing a drink.

"Of course it's for Mr. Libra! He said my tea wasn't good and told me to make it again," Luna grumbled.

"Doesn't taste good?" Venus frowned as she tried the drink Luna had made.

"Of course it doesn't taste good! It doesn't have sugar, so it's not sweet and tastes

not good."

"Well, there you go! Of course it doesn't taste good because it doesn't have sugar," replied Luna.

"Actually, he's the stupid one, or we're too smart," Luna grumbled.

"Of course we're the smart ones..." Venua quipped, a smile playing on his lips.

"Ah, never mind, I'll take this first." Luna came out of the pantry.

A few minutes later, Luna came back in looking upset and sad.

"What's wrong?" Venus approached Luna, pulling her friend's hand to sit down.

"Mr. Libra threw away my tea and got angry. He said I couldn't make drinks." Luna tried to hold back her tears, Venus hugged her shoulders.

Her friend wanted to calm Luna down. But that was only for a moment, because both Venus and Luna were startled by the sound of the door being pushed open forcefully.

"What are you doing? Why is Mr. Libra complaining in the pantry?" Mrs. Diana stared at her two employees, her eyes now fixed sharply on one figure. "Venus, this must be your doing, right?"

"I..." Venus, surprised at being blamed, looked confusedly at her friend.

"I should have fired you a long time ago! If it weren't for Mr. Alexander's request, I would have fired you right now." Diana said sarcastically.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, it's not Venus' fault. It's my mistake."

"You're the same! Always defending your friend!" Diana snapped, with her hands on her hips. Luna fell silent and lowered her head.

"Luna, hurry up and clean the president's room! And you! Hurry up and make a new drink for Mr. Libra!" Diana smiled cynically at Venus.

"Okay, Mom," said Luna and Venus in unison.

Diana then sat down on one of the chairs in the pantry room. She looked at Luna, who had already left carrying cleaning supplies. Then her gaze

His eyes shifted to stare intently at Venus, the woman he hated so much. The woman who had once been his classmate, and the woman who always made him jealous. Jealous because Venus had everything that everyone had once wanted.

woman. Rich, reasonably pretty, and sociable, but everything Venus once had is now gone without a trace.
