“What are you doing?” Phil queried, with raised brows, watching a kneeling and sniffing Scarlett.
“Please, Forgive me for not being punctual at my first day of work. I deserve getting fired but not like this. I’m really sorry” Scarlett muttered.
Oscar looked at her, and blinked slowly.
He then looked at Phil.
“Should I drag her out?” He cooed.
“Huh?” Phil blinked roughly.
“Huhmm…Its fine. Just…Huh…I’m… I’m gonna handle it from here”
Oscar bowed a bit, and shifted away from her.

Phil sighed and walked closer to her.
“Hey” He whispered.
Scarlett sniffed, and looked up.
She saw his hand, stretching towards her,,,
She smiled and held his hand.
“What are you doing?” He snapped, and took his hand off.
“Huh?” Scarlett widened her eyes.
“Hmm…Hmm” Phil cleared his throat and pocketed his hands.
“I’m asking of the contract I gave to you yesterday” He said.
“Oh…I’m sorry. I thought-
“Just stand up and get it” He said, and walked back to his desk.
Oscar stood by him, like a statue, with all seriousness.

Scarlett folded her lips and stood up.
She sniffed, dried her wet face with her hanky and opened her bag.
She brought out a portfolio and walked to him.
“Here you go, Sir…”
He nodded, and took it from her.
Turning through the pages, He said;
“My schedule for this week was sent to you. Did you see it?”
Scarlett nodded.
“Yes, Last night”
“Good. Then, I’m sure- He paused, and wore his transparent glasses which made him more handsome.
“You have in mind what I’m gonna do today?” He completed his words, and looked up at her.
Scarlett gulped and nodded.
“I know it without even looking. I couldn’t sleep cause I was excited so I memorized it all through the night”
“As we speak, I know your schedule for this week” She smiled.
Phil scoffed.
“Mrs Keepers is still way better than you, regardless…”
“What?” Scarlett raised her brows.
Phil ignored her and sighed the paper work. He handed it to her.

“Pass that to Manager Kim” He said.
“Mana…ger Kim? Who is-
“Ask around” Phil said, curtly.
“Huh…Okay then”
“Now!”
Scarlett bowed, and quickly left the office.
“What’s his problem? He seemed nice when I first met him” She said inwardly and left the hallway.
She was walking around the big, open space officea with busy people around, using their computers.
She saw a worker, making coffee at the table, and she tapped her.
The employee, a female turned and looked at Scarlett.

“Anneoseonyeo(Hello) I’m sorry but do you know who Manager Ki-
The girl scoffed rudely, staring wickedly at Scarlett.
“What’s wrong?” Scarlett asked, softly.
“Is it you?” She asked.
“What? Who? Me? Do you know me? I don’t know you” Scarlett formed a small smile.
The girl crossed her arms.
“I’m Felicia… And you’re Scarlett, I guess?” She asked, scrolling her eyes around Scarlett’s body.
Scarlett blinked and stared at her own body, thinking she was stained.
“You… are the one, aren’t you?” She asked, wickedly
“I don’t know what you are talking. Please, Excuse me” Scarlett uttered, and took steps away before Felicia grabbed her arm.
Scarlett turned to her.
“Do you know I’m supposed to be the one holding that paper work” Felicia said, and Scarlett looked at her hand, which held the portfolio tightly.
“Pardon?”
“Don’t act like you don’t understand! I’m supposed to be the secretary not you! You’re nothing! I checked your records and you are nothing but a bully and ex convict! If not for my connections, I won’t be here”
“Anyways, I’m a staff of the marketing team thanks to you but don’t worry, I’ll make sure I become the secretary soon after you fall”
Scarlett just watched her.
“Do you get it now? I was supposed to be the secretary and not definitely you” Felicia arched her brows.
She pushed Scarlett who staggered.
“Dimwit. Why did they even employ her?” Felicia cussed, and walked out.
Scarlett eyes were brimming tears.
“f_ck. Don’t you dare, Scarlett. You’re strong and she’s wrong” She sniffed and finally walked away.

“f_ck” Scarlett muttered tiredly as she ran into the office.
“Here you go sir, 3 glasses of grape fruit juice” She said, and dropped the tray.
Phil looked at her, with a smile.
“Hope I aren’t disturbing you at all?”
Scarlett forced a smile and shook her head.
“Not at all…”
“Okay then, Can you get me a pack of cookies in the fridge?”
Scarlett nodded, and wiped her sweat, with her hanky.
She went to his fridge, opened it and checked through it.

“Sir?” She called, closing its door.
“Yes?” He responded, looking at her.
“There are no cookies but there’s a fruit bread and chicken Břě@šť. Cheese balls too” She said.
“No… I don’t want any of them”
“So, what are we gonna do about the cookies then?” She asked.
Oscar just listened, without looking at them.
“You have to get it of course” Phil smirked.
“What? Where?”
“Go to the management team and ask for the refrigerator. Its in there. Get me Butter cookies”
Scarlett sighed deeply and nodded.
“Sure sir” She nodded, and ran off.
“I’ll surely frustrate your life here that you will be forced to resign. I promise you, Scarlett” He chuckled.
“Oooohh…Feels good. Revenge!!” He smiled.
