"Amanda, the boss is calling you to his room!" A co-worker friend of Amanda called her from a distance.
Amanda immediately stood up and flashed a faint smile. "Thank you," she answered politely before she finally left her desk and walked towards the boss's room.
She knocked softly on the door until she heard a voice and entered the room.
"Come in!"
In the room there was already Lisa standing, Amanda was nervous and a little confused about what was going on in this room. She glanced at Lisa for a moment and her friend seemed not to realize her position.
"You call me, boss?" Amanda asked politely.
Duk!
The sound of a folder slamming on the boss's desk. "You didn't check this month's report. Why is there a mistake?".the rising voice of the boss took Amanda by surprise.
Amanda looked at Lisa for a moment then looked back at the folder that was slamming on the table, the folder was dark red, and with slightly trembling hands she took the red folder and checked its contents. This is about the incoming and outgoing goods report along with product billing, shouldn't it be Lisa's job desk?
"Lisa-"
Before Amanda could finish her sentence, her middle-aged boss immediately cut her words in an octave rising tone.
."You don't have to blame Lisa, you should be her senior, first check Lisa's work and if you're sure everything is right, then give it to me, you gave it to me with a mistake, I don't want to know, I want the report today. everything is done and there is no mistake!" Amanda swallowed heavily, why didn't Lisa talk about this report and reported directly to the boss, Lisa should have let her check first.
.when Amanda turned once more to Lisa, the beautiful girl gave a sad look on her face as if she felt very sorry for Amanda. If it turns out Amanda does not say anything else but accept the fact.
"Alright boss, I'll finish this report today."
."Today must be finished and tomorrow we have a meeting to hold a monthly evaluation!"
Amanda nodded once again, assent to her boss' request.
.amanda left the boss room with a red folder in her hand, 5 seconds after Amanda launched her foot out of the room, Lisa ran a little and closed the door to the boss room tightly.
"Geez, boss, aren't you being too hard on her?" Lisa asked coquettishly she returned to the boss's desk, and sat on the boss's lap, loosening the boss's tie that tied his neck tightly.
"He said you couldn't do the report, so I told him to do your work. Now that you have some free time, how about we have some fun?" .asked the middle-aged man, pinching Lisa's cheek affectionately.
Lisa laughed coquettishly, "ah boss it could be." The answer returned a pinch on the boss's cheek, then they pressed their lips together, kissed behind the desk, and left Amanda who had to finish all of Lisa's work.
Amanda returned to her desk.
"I feel like this isn't the first time I've finished Lisa's work, I think I've discussed it with Lisa. But why did she make this mistake again And again." With a long sigh Amanda looked annoyed, "Looks like I have to work late tonight."
She said as she got up from the chair.
"Amanda, where are you going?" Asked one of the co-workers seeing Amanda preparing to leave their room.
"I want some coffee," Amanda said, showing her annoyed face.
"Oh then buy me a cup huh.. and there was a message from the receptionist saying that your boyfriend left something for you." Hearing the words of his co-worker made Amanda's face turn bright.
"I'll buy you a cup of coffee and thanks for the message I'll be right out to the reception desk." Amanda excited.
" Isn't her boyfriend very considerate..." said his co-workers to the others but they didn't seem to agree because of the relationship between Amanda and Daniel, even though all her co-workers already knew about their relationship but there didn't seem to be any developments from the relationship.
."I don't care anyways. Who wants Amanda besides Daniel?"
"You mean?"
"Amanda isn't attractive at all? She's such a boring girl."
"Isn't she the type to be a good mother-to-be?"
."Yes, if you want to get married, maybe Amanda is suitable as a wife and mother-to-be but if you just want to have fun it must be very boring to get a lover like Amanda, and Daniel is not the type of guy who expects a wedding, that's what I think But I don't know for sure! "
."Yes, what you said was not wrong, what was wrong was that we were talking about Amanda behind her back."
****
.whether happy or annoyed, when Max saw Amanda coming out of the office building and starting to cross the street, his chest was pounding as if it was about to explode, now Amanda seemed so clearly ahead of him getting closer to his position.
"Is that woman coming here?" A sudden panic attack made Max nervous, and his hands instantly became wet and cold sweating.
"Has she seen me?" .max tried to lower his head to hide between the tables, he thought Amanda had seen him waiting in this cafe but not, Amanda went straight to the cashier's desk.
"Give me two americanos, okay?"
"Drink here or take it home?"
.Amanda looked thoughtful for a moment, "One cup to drink here and another cup later to take with me to the office." Amanda replied, her face looked cheerful and happy, it seems Max found the reason why Amanda's face looked happy.
.Max saw clearly what Amanda was holding, it was a box of jelly candy that a jerk named Daniel bought earlier, he certainly didn't hear wrong. The woman next to him who sat a few minutes ago said Daniel's words many times and also the n of Amanda.
Thinking about the jelly candy made Max forget that he was supposed to hide so Amanda wouldn't find him out.
"You?"
Suddenly Amanda was standing in front of his face, Max who was nervous must control his nervousness, he immediately stood up to face Amanda.
."You, what are you doing here?" Max launched a question before Amanda proceeded which made him even more nervous, if Amanda were to ask what he was doing here, he would be even more confused.
"I went to work in the front building. And you?" Max scratched his head which didn't itch to hear Amanda's question.
"I take, take one toast for breakfast!"
The cafe employee who had noticed Max's whereabouts without ordering anything immediately smiled.
"So you want a toast?" He asked Max.
."Yes, yes, I ordered a toast!" Answered the cafe employee with a red face, he was like a thief who was caught by the hand.
"Then give me one too, I haven't had breakfast either." Amanda said in response to Max's words to the cafe staff. ."We haven't had breakfast together in a long time, haven't we, and this is the first time we've had breakfast together again after so many years we've been apart."
Inwardly Max wanted to bloom up happy, but he held back all that desire and tried to act cool in front of Amanda.
."You should be happy that I have time to have breakfast with you. I'm busy!"
..Amanda chuckled at Max's arrogant answer, indeed Max was very busy but he had time to stop at this cafe just to monitor Amanda's workplace, it was very busy, wasn't it?
"What's that in your hand?" Max asked for the jelly candy box in Amanda's hand.
"Oh my boyfriend sent it for me, he left it to the receptionist in my office, isn't he a sweet guy?"
Cough!
Max coughed at Amanda's compliment to Daniel. "Sweet?"
There was satire in Max's tone. "Too much sweet is not good for the body."
Max took Amanda's arm slowly until finally, the jelly candy box moved to his hand, he threw the jelly candy box in the air several times.
"You still like to eat jelly candy, don't you?"
.amanda put her coffee cup on the table, and she put her ass on the chair while looking at Max who was playing with the jelly candy box in his hands. "Do you remember my favorite candies?"
Max sat down beside Amanda's chair. "Actually for certain things my memory is very powerful you know!"
The staff came with two toasts in his hand.
"This is your meal please."
"Well, thank you."
.when Amanda was off guard, Max threw the jelly candy box into the trash can under the table not far from his feet.
'Now I'm going to throw away little by little what you gave Amanda until eventually she will be separated from you!'
"Let us have to eat!" .max took the toast on his plate, "I don't know you worked in the front office there, that building is one of our product distributors."
"Oh yeah, wait a minute maybe you– do you work for Ed corp?"
"Yeah, you could say I work for that company."
."Isn't that a very big holding company, wow Max you are great it's not in vain that you study far in Singapore."
"Oh no, it's just ordinary."
"What's ordinary? The selection was very strict to enter the Ed corporation. You are very lucky to be able to work there."
Max couldn't help but smile, it was just one of the companies owned by the Ollivander family.
