chapter 12; Guilty

***

A few minutes earlier in Arya's office

***

The work her boss gave her wasn't hard and she was done in a jiffy "hmm easy peasy" she moaned doing some stretching while looking at Mi Rue's office and still seeing them talking kinda like arguing. Rolling her eyes she decided to put a call across to Sheila who was just coming out of a meeting. Tiredly Sheila rested her head on her office chair before the phone started to ring and she immediately answered when she saw it was Arya. They hadn't spoken yesterday because Arya was too busy arranging her stuff at her new place "hey sister Lin Ai how are you enjoying my life" Arya teased the moment Sheila picked up "and I thought following you around was boring and tiring. This is one hell new dimension of stress" Sheila complained "welcome to hell enjoy my world sis" Arya said teasing her more "you really don't know how hard it is to keep this stoic expression sometimes I feel like laughing when a staff makes a funny comment instead I have to reprimand them urghh" Sheila groaned "and how do you live like this too having to smile and be respectful all the time and having a chatterbox for a boss" Arya also complained both stayed quiet for sometime lost in their own world "i can't wait for this to be over" they said simultaneously and laughed at themselves "anyway girl how's he treating you" Sheila asked "well let's say first day and I'm already loosing my patience can you imagine he kissed me…" Arya said and started to rant about everything that happened that day.

The look on Sheila's face on the other side after hearing everything was priceless ' is Mi Rue now that shameless' she said almost regretting sending Arya there if he kept behaving like this he'll never win her over but the deed was done, she could only leave the rest to fate, masking whatever emotion she felt she said in a surprised tone "oh my God he did that what are you gonna do now" "well he's still the best candidate so I'll let it slide and endure him but my patience has limits" she said and sighed" I hope he doesn't cross it" she added "oh he definitely won't I'll make sure of that" Sheila blurted out and mentally facepalmed herself "i..I mean if he dares try to mess with you I'll come over there and beat him up" she immediately rephrased her words. She really felt guilty for doing this but what could she do she just had to.

Heaving a deep, heavy and long sigh Arya said the thing that had been bothering her "but you know sis I feel like I've seen him somewhere but I don't know the more I try to remember the more frustrated I become and I just meet a dead end" she whined " Arya haven't I told you to stop trying to remember when it's the right time it will come back to you you're only hurting yourself" Sheila shrieked at her, honestly she didn't want Arya to get her memories back until she had her revenge.

"you're right anyway sis I need to send me a mail that Jade's cooperations has accepted Yvesta enterprises as their partners with all the requirements and your signature I can't come to a meeting or my workers will see me which will rouse their suspicions and yes it will be beneficial for both companies okay" Arya ordered "ah I've missed this even though it's just been a day can't wait to have you back and okay boss I'll do just that" she said energetically. Arya chuckled and hung up. Sheila called her assistant who happened to be the gossip monger mina and told her to make a dual document of acceptance to become partners with Yvesta enterprises. Confused because they didn't even have a proper business meeting mina still did it. She didn't want to get into Sheila's bad books. Within a few minutes two copies were made and signed one was sent to Arya who smiled and messaged Sheila

( Thanks sis 😘)

Sheila; ( always 💗💖).

Arya printed out the document and went to give it to mi rue for his signature. Not forgetting to knock so as not to repeat the morning' s experience 'what if he's gay that's why he can't fall for any woman and just uses them' she said and her body trembled at the thought of that. She just remembered a ghastly scene she didn't want to remember. Getting angry she tried calming herself down when she heard "come in" masking her anger pretty well with her smile. She came in and said "im done sir" but had to cover her ears when she heard them both shout "what"
