"Next," I said as I massaged my forehead. I was Interviewing applicants, searching for someone who's fit to be my secretary.

I grabbed the applicant's form and my lips formed an O after I recognized two familiar faces. Happiness filled my heart as I anticipated to see them and talk to them again.

I pressed the intercom. "Mrs. Taylor let the last two applicants in."

When the door swung open, I saw Yara and Ana looking at each other with a frown. I chuckled and pulled myself up.

""Yara! Ana!"

They both looked at me. I smiled even more and hugged them. They both hugged me back. I even heard Yara sobbing.

"Kelly!"

"Kelly, I resigned from my work because of you. Please hire me!" Ana was begging and I chuckled at her.

Yara lifted her arm and smiled. "I'm more experienced than her, Kelly. I was your assistant at the shop."

I smiled at Yara. "The shop... What happened to the shop?

She looked down and her eyes showed sadness. "Sir Klay closed the shop after you disappeared. I was so worried but he won't tell me anything."

"Your things are with me, Kelly. The owner of the apartment threw me out after I failed to pay of rent. I had no choice. I'm sorry."

I held their hands and looked at them alternately. "I have jobs for the both of you."

Ana was quick to nod. "I can just be your maid again. I'll take care of your house. By the way, are you back in your family villa?"

I shook my head and smiled. "I'm living in a company apartment but I'm moving out today. I don't wanna live in a villa. It's lonely to stay there."

I looked at Yara and smiled at her. "You're going to be my assistant again."

I was relieved and happy after I hired Yara and Ana. At least the people I trust are coming back into my life again to support me. They're friends and I want to keep them.

When I got home, I was shocked after I saw Mary and Mr. Walter in front of my apartment door, I'm moving out today because this is a company apartment and I resigned from Mr. Walter's company. "Are you avoiding me?" Mary was the first one to greet me. Her eyes are sad and she's frowning.

I took a deep sigh. "I'm sorry, I just don't know how to face you after everything. I lied to you." "But you treated me as a friend, right?"

I slowly nodded. She smiled and held my hand. "Then, it's fine. I know you have reasons for doing that."

opened the door and Invited them in. It's kinda awkward to have Mr. Walter as my visitor.

"Mommy!" Snow greeted me happily. She's wearing a pink dress and bunny headband again. Emily was sitting on the couch with her, scrolling on her phone. Couli't Fight It Anymore.

I kissed Snow's check. "How's your day, sweetie?"

She smiled. "Aunt Em taught me about girl things."

"Girl things?"

"Yes! Like how to walk like a queen... Like how to speak like a queen... And how to laugh like a queen..."

I chuckled and pinched her nose playfully. "Okay. We'll talk about your day later. I just need to talk to my visitors for now, pumpkin. Wait in our room, okay?"

She looked at me with her innocent doe eyes. "Aunt Em said we're moving out. Is it true? Are we going to live in a palace like a queen?"

I smiled and caressed her hair. Emily pulled herself up and looked at my visitors with her one eyebrow shot up.

"Come on, love. Let's go and pack your things."

I nodded at Snow when she glanced at me before she held Emily's hand and they entered the bedroom.

"Uh! Please have a seat," I said to Mr. Walter and Mary.

Mary grinned. "I'm not a visitor, Elle-I mean Kelly, I should just prepare something to drink."

I watched Mary walk towards the kitchen before I looked at Mr. Walter again.

want to apologize for this, Mr. Walter."

He fixed his eyeglasses and nodded. "Just...call me Caleb. We're not boss-employee anymore."

I bit my bottom lip. I'm moving out today."

"I heard."

The awkward silence is killing me and I think Mary won't come back here anymore since she believes that Mr. Walter is interested in me.

"I heard you're rebranding your company. That's a good choice."

I nodded. "Yes. I don't wanna lose my father's hard work so I'm trying to make this work."

"I can..." he paused and cleared his throat. "I want to invest in your company."

My lips parted. "Mr. Walter..."

...or I can fund the promotional and campaign events of your new brand," he added.

I swallowed hard. I don't wanna believe Mary's words but this isn't a boss talking anymore

"Mr. Walter, I appreciate that you want to help. It's a big help but...why are you doing this?"

He looked away and clenched his jaws. "Losing a promising employee is a loss to me. But I want to support you. So..."

Someone knocked on the door. My forehead creased. I don't remember anyone else who'd pay a visit today. Could it be Ana? "Excuse me for a while, Mr. Walter."

I opened the door and everything seemed to slow down as I saw the person behind the door. He slowly Tifted his face and my lips parted when our gazes met.

My mind has been clouded by what's happening and falled to realize that he never crossed my mind And now that he's in front of me, I feel like I was robbed of sanity. My heart raced and my breath Couldn't Fight it Anymore.

entangled.

He cleared his throat. "I-I've been fighting with myself for the past two days and...I couldn't fight it anymore. So...I'm here..."

I swallowed hard as I stared into his eyes. Unable to say something because I don't know what to say.

He lifted the box in his hand that I didn't notice a while ago.

"Uh... I bought your favorite dessert."

I cleared my throat after a few seconds and opened the door wide. "Come in."

I saw happiness cross his eyes after I said that. He entered and followed me to the living area but I saw him freeze after he saw Caleb Walter sitting on the couch.

Pierce looked at me before he slowly walked towards the couch and sat across from Mr. Walter. Biting my lip hard, I sat on the single couch between them. I don't know but this is so awkward.
