Chapter 16: Best Fruit Takes Time (Part 1)

Cecilia's POV

I'm looking at Marco, who hummed while reading a morning report from the sales team. It's already two months since my break up with him. He's attitude towards me is getting colder.

I don't know it will worked or not, but I hope it will. I'm standing up and walking to his desk with a bunch of reports in my hand. "You free, right?" He hummed. "Ms. Albert..." right, there's no point talking politely towards him.

"Julia wants to meet you in her office. If you miss this..."

"I get it! She will fire me, right?" I'm nodding my head. Technically, she will fired anyone who made problem and not obey to my command. I heard someone knocking on the door and Jane gets inside the room innocently.

She acted like she owns this place. Once I found your little dirty secret, I will make sure you will let your lovely boyfriend know everything you hide from him. You look beautiful, smart, and elegant, but inside you not more than a venomous snake.

Once I take down Andrew, I will make sure you will experiencing hell, or I make your life like a hell. Julia can promise me that. Speaking of her... why she keep avoiding me lately?

I put my pen on my pocket and walking to the pantry. "Hey, babe. You ready?" Marco nodding his head and smiles. He grabs his car key and holding her hand. I gripped my pen tight as I'm looking at them laugh and talking without considering my feeling.

I want... Argh! I hope they got their karma soon. I'm following them and looking at the indicator. "Ms. Castello..." Katrina, she's a good woman I know in this office. She already worked here for couple of years.

I'm nodding my head. Four of us already get inside of lift. I pressed lobby level and sighed. We saw a hand holding a door.

Julia's POV

"Do you guys here... want have a lunch?" All of them nodding their head in sync. "Um... Ms. Castello..."

My phone is ringing. Oh, my God. I took a deep breath and stroll back to my office. I keep my eyes looking on her face as the door closed.

After she gave me a cup of coffee, I ended up in hospital for the couple of weeks. My dad blames her because of it, and he almost fired her. "Ash, it's fine..."

"Let's we go to the lobby together, okay?" She looks at me in the eyes. She already giving birth to a baby boy. His name is Kenneth Albert. She can divorce to my brother, but she decides to keep her marriage with him.

Even though she just a mistress, she's too good for him. What a shame, right? All the Albert's has a mistress. Once you married with the Albert's you never runs out of money for the generations. I don't mind if my dad wants to match me with Ashley to covering my brother's scandals.

He wants a good image among the public, right? I can give him. Ashley doesn't mind to keep her relationship secret, but for me. it's a big no. All the matters now is Kenneth. I took a deep breath and massaging my temple. "You don't have to feel bad about it again, okay? I'm not dead yet. My dad just..."

I sighed in defeat. There's no point arguing with her right now. "Now... where do you want to have lunch? Canteen or somewhere else?" That's the reason I don't want to use my family name.

Cecilia's POV

I'm seating nearby the wide window. I'm not lonely again because Katarina here to keep my mind occupied. "Do you know BTS, Cecil?" She's a K-Popers too!?

"I do. Do you like them too?" I asked her. She nodding her head as we screaming in joy. Oh, my God. Why I'm not realizing she's also a fan!? "Oh, my God, Kat. Who is your bias?! Jung Kook or.."

"Nam Joon. Do you like Jung Kook?" I shook my head. "My bias is Jin and Suga. I also have their full album of their photoshoot only." oh my Lord. I should asked her number ASAP and not lose the chance to get a friend with her.

"Hey, Kat..." Andrew and his cronies always approaching me whenever or wherever I'm with someone else? I took a deep breath as I'm looking at them with annoyed look. What do you want now?

"Hey, ladies. Do you mind if we take a seat here? Now the canteen seems... crowded." Honestly, he sucks at flirting, but for the sake of my revenge.

"Um..." Katarina looked down. I'm nodding my head and let them take a seat with Andrew sits next to me. I want punching his face, but... this is not an arena. Katarina seems not comfortable around them.

I took a bite everything change after Andrew and his friend comes. "I don't know why our boss won't let us eating at the outside, or we got locked." I'm looking at Marco and Jane try to gets inside of this building.

Sometimes, I don't know why she's doing a crazy things to help me getting back to Marco. I took a deep breath and put the fork aside. "You already finished your meal?" Andrew lift his head as he chewed his food.

I take a slurp of my orange juice. "So, Andrew. I heard you dating with Mrs. Yuki? That lady has a husband, bro. You will get trouble!"

What?! He has affair with Mrs. Yuki from legal department?! I decide to chewed on my food slowly as his friends keep bringing that topic. "She's good in bed, anyway. How can I refused? Besides, she promise me to sending me a money every month if I get my mouth shut."

Seems like he forgot about who sits next to him? An allegedly snitch. Besides, Julia can hear this secret in any seconds by now. She likes a ghost. Speaking of witch... where is she? After we overworked that night, she's nowhere to be found.

What happened to her exactly? "Cecil... are you done?" I'm smiling to Katrina and try to get rid my thoughts about her. At least she's not dead yet.

Katrina, Andrew, and his friend looked at me. This is awkward. I'm nodding my head and walking with Katrina as we talk where's we left before.
