“Why are you coming so late, Ella?” She exhaled harshly, then said again. “Unfortunately, the leader just saw you.” Then the woman turned to look at Holly. “You too, get over your bad habit of always not being on time. In fact, I sent you a message early in the morning so that you could get ready earlier than usual.”
“I have a habit of always setting up the airplane mode whenever I want to sleep, and unfortunately, I forgot to return the phone to normal mode when I woke up earlier. So, I couldn’t read your message.”
The long-haired woman who always wore her hair in a ponytail looked up at Bella. “I hope you and Holly don’t get a reprimand from above, because our new boss asked for your personal data.”
Bella’s pupils widened, a little surprised and scared about her future fate. It’s hard to get in here, so she can’t just kicked out. A year ago, she had to compete with hundreds of people to get into this company. At first, she had given a three-month trial period to find out more about her abilities, and because her dedication was good, she transferred to the planning department. Perhaps it was because she had a hobby of eating that Abigail chose her to work in the planning department alongside Holly. Although she still categorized as a new employee, Bella already trusted to hold several projects.
She is know for as a young woman with a lot of skills. When they were filming their new menu, the model couldn’t make it because of indigestion, so Bella volunteered to take part. As a result, she rose to fame faster than the other employees who came in with her, as the show they were making was well-liked. Bella used her ability to attract viewers to buy the food products being advertised.
She had never imagined this before, as she was just enjoying the food served by the chef. However, many say that Bella advertises products earnestly and looks more natural than others. When she meets food, Bella seems to forget about her surroundings.
Her hobby is enjoying food, but the fat on her body doesn’t seem to want to stick. Unlike Holly, who always regulates the calories that enter her body. Eating a meat sandwich alone makes her body increase significantly. The woman even said that just smelling meat would make her fat increase. It sounds absurd, but that’s exactly what happened to Holly, the Mexican woman who moved to Los Angeles, because according to her, Los Angeles is a city where many ethnicities gather.
Holly loves meeting new people who have unique cultures to her. Holly is, so she talks a lot, and the expressive Holly likes to be hyperactive.
“Is he going to fire us?” Holly looked scared.
Abigail shook the file she was holding. She couldn’t just let her two employees go. Despite their flaws, always arriving late, Bella and Holly were her best employees. High morale and a willingness to learn were the main things she needed. Although education is also necessary, Abigail feels that persistence is the main option to be an excellent employee in her being. Not forgetting an attitude is also necessary to create a qualified employee character.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep you,” she promised, allowing the two women to breathe a sigh of relief.
Abigail has a reputation for being strict, but she is also a kind bespectacled woman who always upholds the rights of every employee. She knew who could be retained and who could not. Ever since Holly and Bella came in, Abigail had been the one to mentor them, so she knew exactly what they were capable of.
“Does our new boss already have a wife?” Holly to show strange behavior.
Abigail let out a harsh sigh. “It’s always like this. You can’t resist the urge to pry when you meet a handsome man.” She deliberately did not reveal who she really was. Abigail did not want to admit that she was part of the Hamilton family. She doesn’t want people to look down on her and make assumptions about her position being earned through connections and inside influence. Abigail wants to be recognized for her abilities, not her origins.
Holly showed a grin. Come on, Abigail. You must know more about Gabriel.”
“He’s not married.” Abigail clucked her tongue. “He’s also single.”
The gray-eyed woman opened her mouth in disbelief. “Really? A man as handsome as him is single? This is absolutely impossible.” Holly hugged Bella’s arm. “Ella, is he my soulmate?”
Hearing that, Bella rolled her eyes in disgust. “You always say that when you meet a handsome man, Holly. Are all single men with good looks your soul mate? Hey, Miss, don’t be greedy.”
“Wait! Why does that sound absurd?” Holly held her chin, thinking hard. “Is it possible that he doesn’t like women?” Then she bit her lower lip, looking agitated. “A handsome, single man only has two possibilities. If he’s not an asshole, he must be a same-sex lover.” Holly groaned in frustration. “Ah, no. You must find the truth, Abigail.” She whined at Abigail.
Abigail’s pupils dilated. “Why should I? Am I your helper?”
“You can access more information about him. You have a higher position than us. Please.” Holly put her palms together in front of her face, pleading with puppy eyes.
“Get out of my room now. I don’t want to keep talking to you. You’re giving me a headache.”
“Abigail, please!”
“No, Holly. If you want to get close to him, you’d better find out information about Gabriel yourself. Make your own efforts without asking others for help.”
With stomping steps, Holly stormed out in irritation. In her heart, she cursed Abigail for being stingy and unwilling to help her.
“Isn’t she so stingy?” she grumbled again.
“It’s not her who’s stingy, it’s you who’s shameless, Holly. She’s your boss. Why do you have the nerve to ask her for favors? She treats you like a friend, but you can’t be that insolent.”
Holly turned around, giving Bella an annoyed look, her arms folded across her chest. “Why are you defending her? Not like you used to?” Her eyes narrowed, implying suspicion.
“Don’t overdo it, Holly. I’m just helping to remind you not to do anything unreasonable.”
“Yes, Princess.” Holly bowed, as if the one before her was a queen.
“You’re overreacting.” Bella laughed at her best friend’s absurd behavior.
