Mrs. Isabella suddenly calls, "Peony!"
Peony immediately turns her head, looking at her as a reflex to her own name being called.
"Caught you," Mrs. Isabella smiled, her eyes locking onto Peony's.
Inside, Peony felt a wave of unease. "Why is she suspecting me? I'm in deep trouble if she truly knows who I am."
Standing frozen, Peony stammered, "You've mistaken me for someone else, Mrs. Isabella. I'm Jessica, the new one day secretary of the Boss."
Mrs. Isabella counters, "I know you're Jessica. Jessica in the office. You can fool everyone with your acting but not me, Peony. I have my experience." She smiles.
"Benedict, this is why I despise disguising. How many times must I lie to your mother and deceive everyone else?" Peony's thoughts churned with frustration.
Peony approaches Mrs. Isabella. Coming closer, she implored, "Mrs. Isabella, who is Peony?"
