"Are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost." A voice said the person waved at my face, and I turned to see Yvonne.

"I think I'm in trouble."

"Why?"

"He asked for me... Mr Kings." I said and her mouth formed into an 'o' shape. "Remember? I came late today, what if he wants to fire me-"

"It's okay, calm down... Maybe... Well, he might just want to know why you were late, I don't think he would fire you and I could escort you there if you want."

"Yes. Please do."

"Okay." She chirped with a huge smile on her face. She entangled her arm in mine and we walked towards the elevator.

We entered and the door closed and it started moving. "Relax, you look tensed." I heard Yvonne say.

I sighed. Soon it stopped and we stepped out and walked towards the reception. Yeah, there was also a reception here for those waiting to see him.

"Thank you so much, you can go now-" she cuts me off.

"It's okay, I want to be here for you, what are friends for?" She said with a friendly smile.

"Thank you," I said and walked towards the lady beside the table on the left-hand side. "Mr Kings called?" I asked.

She shook her head. "I'm sorry ma'am but Mr Kings is not at work now and he never asked for anyone." My eyes widened. Then who called?

"Oh. Thank you." I said turning around. Yes! He wasn't calling me, but who did?

"What happened?" Yvonne asked. "Unfortunately, he never called," I said.

"Oh... Then who called you?"

"I don't know." The person did say 'boss' though. Wait. We call some people at higher levels than us bosses.

"Was the person referring to another person?"

"Maybe, I suspect the person would be Jake, he always calls you."

Ah, yes. What was I thinking? How could my mind just go to Mr Knight? Aren't I stupid?

"I'm sorry, I perturbed you for no particular reasons."

"It's okay, you might want to go see him, it's been a long since he sent for you."

"Yes, I would see you later," I said walking to the elevator. I got in and pressed the 4th floor.

It finally stopped and I got out and walked to Jake's office, but he wasn't there.

I looked around. "Oomph!" I collided with a wall. Stupid wall! I looked in front of me to glare at it.

But it wasn't a wall, but Mr Kings. Good thing I hadn't fallen. "Oh, I'm so sorry-"

"Are you blind?" He suddenly says with a scowl catching me off guard. "Uh?"

"Wow, she's dumb." He said, his dark eyes surveyed me and I felt like punching them. But, he's my boss. You're going to let him insult you?

"I'm not blind, and I'm certainly not dumb," I stated firmly, he might be my boss, but he shouldn't insult me.

"Excuse me, I don't have time for this." He said.

"Yeah, but you do have time to insult ladies," I said. And that's the stupidest thing ever, go find something better to do. I hissed in my mind but the way he was looking at me said I said it out.

Oh, I did! "What... Did you just say?"

"Nothing, I wasn't talking to you... I was... Recalling a movie I watched."

He raised an eyebrow, amused. Those perfectly shaped eyebrows. Damn.

His phone suddenly rang, oh thank god! I gestured that I have to go. This is a huge opportunity! I quickly walked away glancing back only a few times.

"Hey, why are you so much in a hurry?" I looked at the person in front of me. "You called, right?" I breathe.

"Yeah... A long time ago, but you didn't come so I had to go do it myself." He said. What? He went to go do what I was supposed to do, I felt so bad, I'm taking advantage of our friendship. Pfft, you didn't know he was the one calling you though.

"Oh, Jake! I'm so sorry, i-"

"It's okay." What's up with people cutting me off?

"No, it's not... I feel so bad, how can I repay you?" I said. "It's okay, Tessa... Besides, it turned out if I hadn't gone there myself something would have gone wrong." Oh.

"Okay," I said with a smile, he suddenly brought his hand towards my face.

Was there something on my face? His hand moved towards my ear and he tucked the loose strands of hair beside my ear.

Oh. "Thank y-"

"What's going on here?" A beautiful voice said. But see what I meant by people cutting me off?

I turned to see Mr Kings, and with the look on his face, one could tell that he was angry. Well, he has been like that all day, I guess, because this morning at the conference room he wasn't looking happy, I'm surprised those ladies gawking at him didn't notice his mood.

I don't blame them though... Cause he is sure as hell one good look-

Shut up!

"Nothing, sir," I replied. I noticed Jake studying Mr Kings, I looked at Mr Kings who was looking at me. A blush crept to my face.

"I was telling her, how beautiful she looks," Jake said and my eyes widened, what? that was not what we were talking about.

"Are you two dating?"

"No," I said.

"No... Yet." Jake said. What the hell? "I see."

Something tells me they know each other so well, yep. I think they do. Who would taunt their boss? because there were taunting looks in Jake's eyes.

They were looking at each other in the eyes, you know, the friends taunting each other thingy.

~

I sighed slumping on my office chair, after a long walk back to my office it felt like I was going to collapse.

I would have taken some rest, but you see the paper works before me? It says no to rest.

I sighed and began doing some paperwork. A lady walked in with an envelope in her hand.

"I was asked to give you this, ma'am." She said and gave it to me before walking out.

Who sent this? I opened the envelope and my eyes widened at its contents.

.

.

......

I looked at the paper in my hands again, you know, just to know if I had read right. Transfer?? Why would they transfer me? I mean it's not yet time to be transferred.

I'd have to go resume there tomorrow. Oh god and it was not just any department, the boss' office was there. I would have to do my work strictly and make no mistakes.

There, I won't be able to get any help from Jake or Yvonne because it's a bit far from their offices.

My alarm suddenly went off startling me. 06:00 pm I kept the paper back in the envelope and placed it inside my bag.

I stood up and arranged my things before going over to the curtains to lock them.

I took my bag and walked out of the office, I'm going to miss it, I can't believe this would be the last time I'm going to be here.

"Hey, my car broke down. Can you give me a ride?" I heard Yvonne say, immediately after I got out of the office. "Sure," I replied with a sly smile.

"How was work today?" She asked as we walked towards my car.

We got in before I answered. "It was fine... Except for the part when I got a transfer letter." I said and she gasped.

"OMG, we won't be close to each other again, what if I need help with some files." She said then sighed. "Where were you transferred to?"

I brought out the transfer letter and gave it to her. She gasped again. "Oh my- wow." She said surprised.

"Haha, it's surprisingly next to Mr King's office." She said before I could reply.

"Yes," I said sadly. Not because I was transferred to where he was, no. But because I was going to be far away from her, we always help each other and other stuff.

"You know, I bumped into Mr Kings earlier today," I told her and her eyes widened in interest.

"Oh, you did? What happened?"

"Well, when I was going to Jake's office, I bumped into him then he said pretty things and I might have talked back at him, he was going to... Well I don't really know, but someone called him and I left and then I saw Jake and I was telling him how sorry I was for not answering his call, then Mr Kings came and asked if we were dating and Jake said yes."

"Are you kidding?" She said with a laugh that stopped immediately. "And then what happened?" She asked curiously.

"Nothing, except the fact that Jake was taun- wait, do they know each other?"

"Yeah, they've been friends for a very long time."

"That explains why," I said starting the car. Yep, the car wasn't moving.

"Anyways, it's okay. I would come and see you there from time to time." She said smiling friendly, I smiled back.

"You don't have to stress you-"

"It's okay, I would love to do it."

"Ah, thank you," I replied. I drove for 10mins, before reaching her house. She got out. "Thank you, see you at work tomorrow." She waved and I waved back with a smile before driving off to mine which was 3 blocks from mine.

I got out of my car and locked it before walking into the house, it was silent. Where was Anne? I miss her so much.

I walked towards her room, hearing giggles coming from it. I opened the door to see her running around the room with Zara running behind her.

"Mommy!" She called when she caught sight of me, and she ran towards me. taking her in my arm, "how are you, baby?" I asked.

"I'm fine." She replied with a huge grin on her face. "Thank you so much, Zara."

"My pleasure." She said with a smile, her eyes still on Anne.

~

I joked in my bed when my alarm went off, oh god. I stood up from the bed and went into the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth and took my bath before coming back to my room to dress, I went out of the room and go straight to Anne's room to check on her.

I can't wake her up, because it was rare. Yeah, the only time I can talk to her is when I get back from work or during weekends or when I have a leave from work.

She was sound asleep, I closed the door back and went to the living room where I had kept my bag.

The door suddenly dinged, I walked over to it and opened it, revealing Zara.

I smiled at her. "Good morning." I greeted. "Good morning." She said back with a smile.

"I'd be going now," I said.

"So early?"

"Yeah... I was transferred and I can't go late anymore." I said with a small laugh. "Ah."

"Goodbye, please take good care of Anne," I said and she nodded her head with a friendly smile.

"Definitely." She replied and I walked out of the house to my car, I entered and started the car, and t roared to life.

~

I looked around my new office, it was really beautiful and bigger than my old office. And the work I had to do was also very different.

My eyes moved to the correspondence in front of me. What am I now? A secretary? A P.A?

No way. I took my bag bringing out the letter I got yesterday. shifted to a personal assistant.

I choked. Jesus, why didn't I see that yesterday? Like it's going to change anything.

I've got a long day ahead of me.
