Work

How come people don't take pictures of you wherever we go? I mean all this paparazzi's and stuff.

Olivia asked this question as she stared straight into Scott's eyes.

Scott shrugged. Well, it's cause they don't know me, you wouldn't be taking pictures of someone you have never heard of.

Olivia was confused. Who wouldn't know the CEO of a multi billion dollar company?

Scott laughed. Funny you just that question, you didn't even know who I was the first time we met.

Olivia was hit with a sudden realization. Ohhhh!! That's quite true, I actually didn't know you. But I thought it was because of I didn't pay enough attention.

Scott shook his head. Not really, though. I like to stay hidden, and although some paparazzis might know me, it's futile taking my pictures or trying to spy on me. The most thing most people or even my workers might k ow about me is my name.

Because no one would Know who the subject was? Olivia asked, starting to get his point.

Scott nodded. For someone who didn't work in my company to know me, then he or she must have been lucky.

Olivia nodded. Evelyn was a crazy reader, she was so stuck up with history and her universe that she read almost anything her eye came across. It was a mystery how her eye still worked perfectly.

But I work in your company, and I didn't know you. Olivia said.

Scott shrugged. Only very few people know me still in the company. It's mostly the higher ups that know me real identity.

Olivia raised a brow. And you have their confidentiality?

Scott nodded. Yeah, I sure do. Being promoted to a high rank in the company means you would have to sign a contract.

Olivia felt a chill. Such strictness…

The day passed very quickly and soon it was time for work.

Maybe it was because her mind was occupied, or she was just one who didn't pay attention to her surroundings. But owing to one of these facts, Olivia didn't notice the plenty eyes that were trying to stare a hole in her the moment she got to work.

Hey, Olivia.

Olivia was startled and she instantly turned around to see who was addressing her.

Olivia knew that she didn't have any friends at work, she didn't even have a gossip buddy, so why was someone calling her.

Who knows? Maybe they wanted to pass an important message to her.

Olivia was surprised to see Bianca, her colleague.

Olivia immediately masked her surprise under a warm smile and she greeted Bianca warmly.

Hi. Bianca started. Waving her hand across her face with a smile.

What's up? Olivia retorted, making sure that the smile on her face looked as real as she could make it out to be.

Why weren't you in work for two days? Bianca asked as they both made their way to their destination.

Olivia shrugged. Personal matters.

What's wrong? Is the supervisor mad at me? Olivia asked.

Bianca shook her head. No, he wouldn't dare.

Olivia was taken aback. Wouldn't dare? What do you mean by he wouldn't dare.

Bianca was quiet for a while. After a moment she finally spoke what was in her mind. How do you know Mr Scott?

Olivia was quiet.

Ohhh…? So that's she's here?

Well, she and her petty gossips are simply out of luck today.

Olivia shrugged. Mr Scott is the CEO of page group of companies, where I work.

The disappointed look on Bianca's face appeared like a sudden train that sped towards nowhere in particular.

Bianca waved her hand across her face as if she was trying to swat a fly, the look of disapproval on her face was very clear.

No, no, that's definitely not what I'm talking about.

Olivia furrowed her brows. Then what could you possibly be talking about? Olivia feigned confusion as she asked this question. How else am I supposed to know Mr Scott?

Bianca stopped and peered into Olivia's eyes. You telling the truth?

Olivia didn't reply, instead, she just kept the gaze going while feigning a nonchalant expression.

Bianca looked beaten as she slapped her forehead. I just don't get it!

Olivia held back the laughter that was threatening to go all out.

Olivia totally knew what Bianca was talking about but she chose to keep quiet and watch her colleague's frustration.

Then why did Mr Scott personally send his secretary here in respect of you?

Olivia faked an elated expression as she smiled brightly and her entire being lit up.

Are you serious? Mr Scott really did that!? I'm so honored!

Bianca nodded while gazing at her curiously. You really didn't know?

Olivia nodded her head. How was I supposed to know? Oh my god! I'm so honored!
