Selena wondered if she could muster up enough courage when their next encounter came.Meanwhile, sitting on the flower bed in the community area, Pierre was smoking. The cigaretteglimmered in the dark, it’s embers lighting up his bewitching features.
He was a coward. He admitted that he was scared. When he first met her, he was merely curious,but he ended up falling for her. He initially approached her in order to find out if she was a spy.However, it turned out that not only did he totally forget about the investigation, but his mindbecame obsessed with her. He knew it was terrifying to love someone. Having forbidden himselffrom falling in love, he ran away.
On the other hand, Linda just coaxed Juniper to sleep when the screen of her phone lit up. Tip-toeing out of the room, she picked up the phone. “Yeah, Boss, it’s all settled. There aren’t anyproblems on my end, so I don’t think you need to come... Yes, I will.” After hanging up, she heaveda sigh of relief, a delighted smile tugging at her lips. Holding her phone close to her chest, her eyescurved into crescents.
By the next day, Selena was already in the office when Linda brought Juniper along to the company.She quickly approached Selena when Juniper went to the washroom. “How was last night?President Yard, did you...” As she spoke, she motioned with her hands.
Selena’s face turned a shade of scarlet. “What nonsense are you spouting?”
“This isn’t nonsense at all! Since everything was dealt with last night, and you had me take care ofJuniper for the night, it’s obvious that you were worried that her presence might hinder you fromengaging in certain activities.” Linda even placed emphasis on the final two words while bumpingher shoulder against Selena’s. “How are things? How did President Fowler perform? Did he lastlong? How many times did you do it?”
Extending a hand, Selena whacked her on the head. “Kiddo, you sure have a lot of dirty thoughts inyour mind!”
Childishly, Linda latched onto her arm. “President Yard, just tell me about it! I have to sate mycuriosity! President Fowler seems to be a great partner, isn’t he?”
Rolling her eyes, Selena replied, “To be honest... nothing happened between us last night.” Shesupposed she didn’t need to hide anything from Linda, as she considered Linda not only as herassistant, but also her only other friend aside from Jude.
Abruptly straightening her posture, Linda cried, “I don’t believe you! You must be lying!”
“It’s true! Why would I lie to you? We did intend to do it, but something suddenly came up on hisside, so it didn’t happen.” Selena seemed relieved. Noticing Linda’s silence, she turned around tocheck on her. “What’s wrong? You seem disappointed.”
“Of course I am! I was expecting you two to... get it on! President Fowler’s performance is sounderwhelming! It’s just like a blackout happens when you’re at the crux of a drama! This is sofrustrating!”
“Hahaha, why are you even getting frustrated?”
“I… I’m frustrated for you, needless to say! Aren’t you feeling the same?”
With that, the two women began to play-fight with each other.
It didn’t take long for Selena to resume her serious attitude. “Alright, enough of this. We have moreimportant things to do. Go investigate how Lake Corporation is doing. Finneas might come back atus, so we should come up with a countermeasure.”
“Yes, ma’am!” Linda quickly switched into work mode, but she seemed a little dejected when sheturned around.
