Mission 04

I'm preparing, it's my first day here as a personal assistant. Roshiela said I'll be meeting her brother. Many questions are in my head, like What if I can't do my job? Is he a good guy? Or not? Is he going to treat me right? And many more..

I look at Ishi, who is sitting on the bed, looking around our room. She turned her gaze on me then gave me a smile. Is she saying that we are here and going to do this job?

"Oh...Let's go downstairs. Naomi sent me a message and said that." My thoughts were snapped out when I heard Ishi's voice. I nod as an answer. While walking in the corridors, I look around. The place is so big. You can even compare it to a palace. Roshiela's family might be so damn rich. How many people are living here? I can't see anyone except me, Roshiela, Ishi, Naomi and Laliana. Are we the only ones inside this house?

When we reach Roshiela's office, we knock first before we enter the room. I laid my gaze on the man who was sitting in front of Roshiela. He has broad shoulders and a good body too but I can't see his face because he is facing Roshiela.

Roshiela smiled and waved her hands at us when she saw us enter the room. The guy, her brother, turned his head. The time went slow as he turned his head towards our direction. I felt my face pale when I saw his face. He was the guy at the mall! His eyes grew bigger as he saw my face. He pointed to me with a surprised expression on his face.

"THE FAT RUDE WOMAN!" He exclaimed. My jaw dropped. Fat rude woman?! Roshiela and Ishi have no idea what's happening. "Excuse me, I'm not rude!" I defended myself. How dare he call me rude and fat?

"Oh yeah?" He sneered. This man! "Ye-" I was about to answer but- "Hey, hey!! Don't you ever forget that we're here! Hello!" -Roshiela cut my words. I breathe three times to calm myself. Maybe any seconds from now, I might lose my patience.

"You two know each other?" Roshiela asks.

"Maybe." "Nope."

We looked at each other as we found out we answered together. He glared at me so I glared back. He has an attitude! Gosh!

"We are strangers to each other! I don't know that woman," he answered again in an angry tone. Why is he so pissed?!

"The moment you saw me, are you going to react if you don't know me?" I ask. I raised an eyebrow at his silence. "What? Answer me!" I challenge him. He heaved a sigh and looked at me straight in the eyes with no emotion.

"We are still strangers in my eyes," he answered, then closed his eyes. He seemed stressed.

A few minutes of silence filled the room. No one dares to say anything. Roshiela seems bothered while her brother is trying to relax. Ishi seems to be trying to figure out what's happening.

And me? I'm just watching them all.

Roshiela broke the silence, "Since you two know each other--"

"I told you we don't." Her words were cut by her brother. Roshiela heave a sigh then continue,

"Okay, okay.. I'm going on a business trip. So, in other words I'll leave you two here in the house," she awkwardly said.

"Is that okay--" "It's not okay!" Elizar voice thundered. He was fuming mad, his face got redder, he's glaring at me and Roshiela.

"This is clearly unacceptable! I can't stand this woman!" he confessed. Wow! As if I can stand his bitchy attitude. No, scratch that, his attitude is clearly sh*tty. I don't like it.

"You don't have a choice tho... " she said in a low voice. I'm just watching the two of them.This my role here, I'm the audience. I'm not the main character or something, I'm just an audience.

I watch them argue but I can't meddle in their argument because I'm just a mere audience.

"Should we stop them?" Ishi whispered beside me. I shook my head as an answer.

"Please, don't be a brat. Just this once. Please," Roshiela begged. She's looking at his brother, her eyes begging for him to stop being a brat but he seems doesn't want to listen to his younger sister at all. A total jerk.

His face does not even soften.

"I'm not a brat Roshiela. Stop saying that I'm one," Elizar said in a very cold and dangerous voice. His eyes went emotionless, his gray eyes went colder. And I'm very sure that once he laid his eyes on you, you would shiver in fear.

His look is too intimidating, too scary.

"And you." His gaze transferred to me. "You are fired."
