Her office routine

When Valerie was looking at the fireworks, her eyes flashed the moment when she kissed Leo. Her heart skipped a beat and she stole a gaze at him. Here he was, sitting with arms in the arms of Ellie. What the hell was she thinking! he was nothing but a monster, but he still has a mark of her lipstick. Didn't anyone notice, she was too embarrassed to tell him.

It's not that Adam and Ellie didn't notice it, Adam wanted to see his face, when he would realise that he roamed in the fair with a lip mark. He Chuckled, just even thinking about it. Ellie indirectly tried to wipe it, but he didn't let her touch his face. And she couldn't tell him because she was jealous. In the end it just remained there.

After the fireworks, they separated their ways and went to their respective houses. The moment they sat in the car, Valerie closed her eyes and within moments she drifted to sleep. Although they both wanted to ask her a lot of questions, looking at her tired face they swallowed their questions and drove quietly.

Once reaching home, Valerie entered in a half asleep state with closed eyes and slumped on the sofa. She badly needed to rest her feet, which were numb from standing all day. Her back was also aching from work all day. She didn't even remember how many times she had to swat or bend to work on her new office table.

"Thank you" she said to Cynthia who brought a tub of warm water for her feet. She immediately got rid of her shoes, and put her feet in water, taking a sigh of relief. Her feet felt numb and it was such a relief to have soothing oils and water on her feet. Finally she was free after ten hours of pure torture. She comfortably sunk her body in the cushions of the sofa. Finally she is at home. She would lay there dead until next morning. The day had been so exhausting for her both physically and mentally, now she only wanted to sleep.

"Don't worry it's the weekend, so you have tomorrow off. Do you want to talk now or in the morning.?" Asked Victor, but frowned when he didn't get a reply.

"She is already asleep" replied Cynthia pointing at Valerie's closed eyes and even breathing. She has seen Valerie like this for the first time. Although she was a bit childish, she has assisted her father enough in his work. Then what just happened that she became so exhausted and cranky.

Cynthia held Valerie's body near her and teleported her on her bed and laid her there gently' then she went to her room directly.

Poor Victor waited for his lover for a long time then realized she was not coming back and finally when he entered her room, she was already asleep just like his sister. Disappointed, he went to his room, mumbled something and drifted to sleep.

At mannat house. (Leo's villa)

Leo came back exhausted, Working with Ellie took a mental toll on him. If he didn't have to control her father, he wouldn't even spare her a glance. Soon he would get rid of her. He went in front of a sink and was about to splash water on his face when he noticed lipstick marks on his lips. He ran his finger on the mark and a smile came to his lips unconsciously.

This reminded him of his first kiss, although it was just for a second, he had felt the warmth of her lips. When she had taken a sigh, her breath had touched his lips. He really wanted to continue it for a second, it felt so damn right. 'Man was finally developing lust in him.' He ran his hands on his hairs and took a deep sigh to clear his thoughts and took a cold shower, and laid there on his bed only in shorts.

On the other side Ellie went to her father's study without having any signs of fatigue. If any, she was feeling only jealousy and deep hatred towards Valerie. She knocked on the door of study, and entered when she received affirmation from her father.

She entered with tears in her eyes, which stunned her father.

"What happened to you, why are you looking so disheveled and why are you crying? Did Leo bully you in his office? It has only been a few days working there and you are already like this. I told you, you don't need to work!" asked Mr. Miller enraged. He had always pampered his daughter senseless., as she was his only child.

"Father Leo doesn't love me, he likes her new secretary. They even kissed today." She said while sobbing. She told his father the whole story but with her own version, with hiccups and tears in an exaggerated manner. She knew her father loved her a lot and would do anything for her.

But unexpectedly "then why don't you just forget about him. Adam was always a better choice. Leo is a bit cold and arrogant while Adam is easy to deal with. Or there are many other young bachelors around. Why don't you look for someone who could come and live with us, rather than you going there? I will call Leo and tell him that you won't be continuing your job. You can come to our company tomorrow" he said, gently patting her head and smoothing her hair.

She instantly became enraged, but still continued her pitiful expression. "No father, I love him and I will only marry him. Father please ask Leo to fire Valerie, so that only I could be his secretary. Then I would make him fall for me. Please father." she said clutching his hands.

"Alright, I will talk to him. Now go and have some food, your mother was very worried about you."

"Thank you father. I know you are the best. You would always fulfill my wish. l love you" she said with a broad smile while hugging her father and then she left for her room happily.
