The next day...
Natalie is heading to Her office when someone suddenly block her way.
Natalie looked up to the person with her brows knitted. .
It was Sarah!
"So, here you are!" Sarah said in a stern manner.
Natalie took a deep breath!
She don't feel good about this woman!
"May I help you ,Sarah?" Natalie asked politely.
But Sarah just smirked to her.
"Miss Zhuang, do you think you can fool me?" Sarah asked with her raised brows.
"Excuse me?"
"Tsss... It's just so impossible that a new comer like you would become the designer for the winter edition! And looks like you're also planning to steal my position!" Sarah crossed her arms in her chest.
"Sarah, I am not planning to steal anyone's position!" Natalie started to get annoyed.
"I am telling you Miss Zhuang, You are just a new comer and I am still your senior! You can't just steal the spot light away from me!"
"Sarah , I think you're being childish! As I've said earlier, I don't plan of stealing anyone's position, so please excuse me!" Natalie take a steps but Sarah just won't let her go easily.
"Which board members have you slept with?" Sarah suddenly asked without holding back.
"What?!" Natalie squinted her eyes.
"C'mon! Why don't you admit it to me, that you have slept with one of the board members, That's why you become as the designer for the winter edition!?"
"Do you think I am that cheap?!" Natalie raised her brows.
" Listen carefully Sarah! I am confident that my designs are better than yours and that's the reason why I got the winter edition. Now, if you're not satisfied to my designs , you can complain to the board members." Natalie paused for a moment.
"But , isn't it too much to do that?! What would they think to you then? That you don't trust their decision? That you're capable of choosing the best designs than them?" This time Natalie revealed an annoying smirk.
" And one thing!" Natalie stepped forward to Sarah.
" You're lack of new ideas, your designs are too common, so there's no doubt why they choose my designs. I am more capable the you, so you better watch out. Because I might really take your position away from you!" Natie said confidently, then she flip her hair and left the stunned Sarah.
Natalie left without turning her head back to Sarah.
"Just continue on provoking her. Make her life miserable in this company until she decided to resign." Someone suddenly spoke from behind Sarah.
Sarah turn behind her and saw Victoria !
Yes! It was Victoria!
It was Victoria who pushed her to say those offensive words to Natalie!
"Why me Miss Victoria?" Sarah is so confused, Victoria is not an approachable person.
But this past few weeks, she notice that Victoria often approach her just to tell her about Miss Zhuang's achievements!
She always tell her about how Natalie want to get her position as the senior designer and it made her feel threatened!
However, Sarah doesn't know that Victoria had brainwashed her!
She doesn't know that Victoria is just trying to use her!
"Because I know that your mother needs a medical attention. And I'm afraid that you can't afford it if you lost your job because of that Natalie!" Victoria said as if she was concern to Sarah.
Sarah let out a short laugh.
"Ha! Is that so? Are you really concerned to me and my mother?" Sarah asked sarcastically.
"Well, it's none of your business Sarah! But I am telling you. Natalie will steal everything you have in this company if you don't get rid of her!" Victoria said and then she left.
She did not give Sarah a chance to reply.
Sarah's gaze followed Victoria.
She can't help but be threatened!
--------
Carrie is inside her office, she's playing a pen with her hand.
After a while, she took her phone and swiped it.
She searched for the number with an ID "Manager".
Natalie called the number and waited for the other line to ring.
-------
Henry is busy tapping his laptop when his phone suddenly ring.
He looked at the screen and saw the ID " Rie".
Henry knitted his brows, "I don't know someone named Rie!" Henry thought, but he still answer the call.
"Hello?"
"Hello Mister Manager!" The woman's voice from the other line greeted him.
"Its me, Rie, the guest in the bar, remember?" The woman introduce her self.
Henry think for a moment, and then an image of a woman suddenly popped in his mind!
"Uh! Yeah! I remember! Do you need anything?" Henry asked, she might want to get her compensation!
"Uhm... I was thinking what I want as a compensation!" Carrie replied without holding back.
"Oh! Yeah! So, have you decided, yet?" Henry asked.
"Ennn..." Carrie nodded.
"How about you treat me to lunch?" Carrie asked.
Henry froze for a moment...
"Hmm, well... Maybe sometime?"
"Why?" Carrie asked again.
"I can't go out now, I have a lot of things to do." Henry said.
"What are you doing?"
" Working. " Henry replied.
" Oh! Are you at the bar ?" Carrie keep on asking.
"No, I'm at Su Corporation building ."
"Su Corporation? Are you also working there?!" Carrie asked as if she don't know.
Henry froze again.
He forgot that, This woman don't know his real identity! ( A/N : that is what he is thinking.)
"Uh, Yeah! I work here during daytime , and I go to the bar at night. "
"Oh!" Carrie blurted out.
"I guess you're busy, so I won't disturb you anymore!"
"Enn.." Henry replied.
"Bye!" Carrie ended up the call.
She put down her phone on the table, and took a deep breath. She tried to think for another way to meet Henry today.
Carrie pick her phone again and swiped it.
She tap her phone for a few times and made a call to her Mom.
"Hello?" Mrs. Hong answered from the other line.
"Mom, could you please tell the cook to make food for me, I mean not just for me, tell her to cook a food that is good for two persons. And then could you ask the driver to deliver it here in the company?"
"For two persons? Who are you eating with?" Mrs. Hong asked in curiosity.
"Oh! Just a friend." Carrie replied.
"What food do you want to eat then?" Mrs. Hong asked her daughter.
Carrie told her mom what food she want to eat, before she turn off the call and put down her phone.
At eleven in the morning, the foods that Carrie requested arrived.
She quickly get out form her office and headed outside the building.
The driver is already waiting for her outside.
"Hello Miss, here is the food that you requested." The driver said politely.
"Thanks!" Carrie took the food from the driver, and told him to go. "You can go now."
Carrie hailed for a cab and then headed to Su Corporation.
When she reached there, Carrie got out from the cab and took her phone to call Henry.
"Hello?" Answered from the other line.
"Hey, I'm sorry to disturb you again. But have you eaten your lunch?" Carrie asked.
"Uhm, not yet." Henry replied while still tapping his laptop with the other hand.
"Good! I'm here outside the Su Corporation, I brought some foods for you."
"What?!" Henry was surprised!
"Hey! Why are you shouting? Remember , you still owe me a compensation." Carrie joked.
"Or do you want me to leave this to the front desk---"
"No, No, no! I'm going down now." Henry said and he hurriedly fixed his things and then he get out from his office.
He don't want "Rie" to enter the building, he want to avoid rumors!
After about ten minutes, Henry reached outside the building and he saw the woman who is holding a food container and waving at him.
Carrie instantly notice Henry when he got out from the building, so she wave her hand to catch his attention.
"Hey!" She said when Henry approached her.
Carrie looked at Henry. He is wearing a white polo shirt, with his sleeves folded to his elbows.
He looked simple, yet he can still capture the attention of the woman around him!
Carrie took a deep breath.
C'mon Carrie!
You shouldn't be thinking about it!
You're here with a mission , so you better focus to that!
Carrie reminded her self!
"Hey, You should have not bother bringing me foods." Henry said.
"Oh! It's nothing! I just thought that it's so lonely to eat alone."
"Oh!" Henry blurted out.
"I'm starving, c'mon lets eat!" Carrie said and she grab Henry to look for a place to eat.
The two of them found a place which is not crowded.
They take a seat in a bench. And Carrie place the foods between their seats.
Henry silently watch Carrie taking out the foods one by one. This is his first time to eat in a public place, without a proper table arrangement. But it seems fun though!
"What food did you bring?" Henry asked.
"Peking duck!" Natalie replied.
"Oh! It is one of my favorite food!"
'Yes I know! I made a research to your personal background!' Carrie said inside.
"Oh really? This is also one of my favorite dish!"Carrie lied again!
Oh! I'm sorry Buddha! I lied too much because of this man!
The two of them started to eat, but Carrie suddenly asked something. "Manager, we've been talking to each other, but you never told me your name."
Henry froze for a moment.
"My name?"
"Enn..." Carrie nodded.
"Just call me Henry."
"Henry?" Carrie repeated, she's acting innocently.
"Oh! Then we are friends now, are we?"
"Hmm??" Henry can't talk due to his mouth full of food but his brows knitted as he looked at Carrie.
" You know my name and I know yours. So that means , we are already friends!" Carrie repeated.
Henry just looked at Carrie.
This woman is little but weird, isn't she?
But why does she look familiar to me?
Have we met before?
Where?
Or am I just thinking too much?
The two of them enjoyed and finished the food.
Henry felt full and he enjoyed the food!
After their lunch, Carrie bidded her goodbye
She has to go back to work.
Henry offered to send her to her work place but Carrie declined it.
