Chapter. 10

I was very satisfied with my work today. Though I earned glares from the staffs of my department but none of them did anything else. Lily was crying and some were gathered around coaxing her. I was speechless. I am clearly the victim here. And that Lily is acting like a pitiful victim. Of course, she is the supporter of female lead. She will have a easy life.

Anyway she got her punishment. I again went back to my table and started drawing another design. After completing the design, it was time to go home. I happily went to the parking area and left for home.

A week passed by like this. Yes, I worked in the King's Company for a week. I was never late and did all my work efficiently. Though people were not really accepting me at the first few days, later towards the end of the week they accepted me. And I even made a friend. His name is Max and he is a gay. He actually came to me to talk about the lunch, but later we talked casually and became friends. Everybody in the department knows that he is a gay but they accept him and respect him. I don't remember the novel mentioning Max. So I guess he is just not an important character.

Yes, over the week strange incidents happened between Pearl and Rustler. They used to crash at each other all the time. People in the department were gossiping and I also joined them. Turns out that whenever Rustler is going somewhere he meets with Pearl. Typical Novel. *rolls eye*

I mean though I have only one thing to do all the day, I am usually busy. How come this Pearl has so free time to crash with Rustler everywhere? She doesn't have to work or what?

"I think that new girl is probably targeting our boss. How come they meet everywhere? This can not be a coincidence." Blake, the guy that I borrowed the coffee to pour on Lily that day was speaking. I was just listening to them. Actually they are good. And Lily is suspended for a month because she did some mistake in her work which caused serious problem. And Rustler scolded her for being careless and suspended her. That is also why people in the department are gradually being nice to me.

I just think that at first they thought I was some rich spoiled kiddo. But I surprised them by working hard and impressed them. I can not think of any other reason of them being nice to me rather than this. So we all remain in harmony and these people are good. They are funny and they gossip a lot which I listen all day since I have no work.

"Yes yes, you're right old Blake. That new girl. Tsk. Tsk. She thinks that our boss will look at her because of these acts?" Aunt Meg said. I was supressing my laugh. They have already started bullying the female lead ah. Lily would probably defend her if she was here. But since she is absent, people are gossiping about Pearl.

Actually, in the novel Pearl helped Lily in something which I don't remember. That is why she thought Pearl as her friend and supported her. Who can tell this people that this is doing of the lord author?

I actually can't believe that this novel is so clinché. They meet everywhere? What the fudge!! I got bored from their talking and checked the time. It was going to be lunch time soon, so I grabbed my purse and went to get lunch. After buying the lunch, I distributed it to all the staffs. The only problem in this entire thing was that I have to be punctual to give lunch to Rustler.

I took a deep breath and knocked at the door. He said, "Come in."

"Sir, here is your lunch." I said and kept it on the table. He never looked up at once, but I could feel the surrounding dropping its temperature. I prepared to leave. But then he suddenly looked up and met my brown eyes with his blue eyes. His eyes flashed a glint of surprise which I noticed but then his eyes went back to endless depth as usual. Why is he even surprised? Guess we'll never know.

"You. How are you doing?" He said in his deep voice. I was shocked. He is talking to me right?

"I am doing very well sir." I replied in a cheerful voice. I have to act you know.

"Okay. You can leave." He nodded and again went back to his work. I said okay and went outside. What a relief. His hero aura is extremely big.

I was just returning to my desk when I noticed Pearl going towards Rustler's office. She was bright and glowing. She had some files in her hand as well. But everyone in our department were looking at her strangely. Hmm. A new drama. I have to enjoy.

Max also had to submit something so he also went after pearl. He winked at me. I winked back. I am sure he is going to secretly overhear their conversation or whatever. Perfect.

I was just waiting for Max to come out. I really want to know what is going on between both of them. How far their relationship improved. I am not going to try to break them apart or anything. If possible I can help them. No matter what I shipped them while reading the novel so I ship them now as well. It's not that I am in love with Rustler like the original host.

After sometime I saw Pearl coming out with a pale face. Why? How? Isn't she supposed to come out with more prideful smile and more glow? Maybe they are still not that familiar with each other. They are meeting everywhere. I'm sure their relationship will flourish more very soon.

Pearl left the department and all of others started gossiping about her. Soon then Max came out of Rustler's office with a grin.

All of the staffs surrounded him and bombarded him with questions. I waited for all this to finish. And finally Max came towards my desk.
