Lie To Me

Chapter 25: 25

"Come in." I said when someone knocked on my doors.

It was Russel, he is carrying an iPad, maybe it’s about the design.

"Yes?" I said. It was already close and standing in front of my desk.

"I just wanted to have this check; this is final design before going down to production." He said.

He never called me 'ma'am or ms'. I don't care anyway.

I took the iPad from hid hand to look at his work. We made some revisions, especially those in color.

"This is better." I said.

I scrolled on his iPad. His works are beautiful, I can't deny that. He's even better than Daryll, but I won’t

tell them that, of course. I want them to work thinking they are equal.

"Please tell Lucy to finalize the material list so that I can approve and start the production." I said.

I handed back his iPad and dismissed him. But it didn’t move right away, it just stared at me.

I arched my brow. "Need something else?"

But he just sighed and shook his head. He turned his back and left my office.

Later, Hans arrived. It just went straight in and sat in front of me.

"Why is he here?" He asked.

"Who?" I asked, I know what he was talking about, I just want to play with him.

"That guy. What did he do here in your office and what did he say?" He elaborated.

I creased my brows.

"He just showed the revisions of the project. It needs to be approved to be brought to the production." I

answered.

He's probably worried. After all, within a few weeks of that man working here, he only now entered my

office alone. He was often with Daryll and this was the one who talked to him.

And getting prouder of myself for slowly feeling okay knowing he's just around. My heart was still

beating when he was near but I was in control of myself.

I don't even know why I was running after him then. I'm really a fool.

"We've already decided where to go out." I informed him.

"Where?" He asked. He's on his phone now.

Tss.

"Five Fingers." I answered.

Suddenly it turned on me again. "Why there?" He asked.

I shrugged my shoulder. "That's where they want. I don't want to ruin their dream." I said.

"You could have suggested other beach resorts than that. There are so many in our province: in

Morong or Bagac." Ani n'ya.

"They choose there because they think it's convenient. Cheap and near." I answered.

"If so, why didn’t you suggested Camaya Coast or Sinagtala instead?"Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"That's where they want to be. They're excited about the cove to cove activity." I answered.

Hans sighed problematically.

I laughed. "It's fine, Hans. I'd be fine."

"I will talk to Reysa to join you." He said, instead.

"Are you crazy? Why would you ask her to join, it's a team outing? Don’t make it a big deal, Hansel!”

"But-."

"No buts. I can handle it." I cut him off.

He signed again and stared at me. "Why are you still there?"

"Why not?" I asked. "Everywhere I will remember and I will still remember that. That would always be a

reminder of the past whenever I go to the beach." I added.
