"Arhhh!! "Palma screamed as the customers in the convenience store stared at her galvanized . Gustin walked towards her and asked "what happen? You are scaring the customers! ".

"Gosh!! My boss is so annoying!! "Said Palma.

"Could we talk about this later.. I don't want Mr. Blunt to be angry if he comes back".

"Just get me beer".

"Fine"said Gustin as he gave her three cans of beer. Few minutes, he was done attending to the customers, he sat before Palma who was drunk . "So tell me what happen? ".

"My damn boss.. So so annoying!! "

"What did he do? ".

"He told me.. "She hiccup " T.. That I should be his personal assistant. Can you believe it. At first he didn't accept me for the interview, then he called me a ghost after he gave me a cold and scary look... Hiccup... I.. I thought he hated me and now his personal assistant!!! ".

"Isn't that a good thing? "Asked Gustin confused.

"Nooooo!!!!!! "Palma yelled.

"Geezzz!! Palma my ears. " said Gustin as he held his ear.

"I have this feeling he want to treat me badly. Do you know what he said I should do.... It feels like am his servant ".

"Then quit " said Gustin.

"I can't. This is the only job that am proud of, I can't just quit. The only thing I can do is cope with it"Palma stood up as she stumble, but Gustin caught her.

"Where are you going? "He asked.

"Home.. I need to sleep"she said as she yawn. "You can't go home you are drunk "he protested.

"Come on am not that drunk and my house isn't far from here. I can go by myself".

"Are you sure? "He asked and she nodded. "Okay fine. Be careful huh? ". She nodded again and walked away clumsy. Getting to her house he keys fell as she crouched down to pick it. She opened her door and entered as she threw her handbag, pulled of her shoe, removed her coat and swing it somewhere. She burp and went to the refrigerator to take a beer can. She opened it and drank it in one gulp. Moving to her couch she lay her body on it and slept off.

The clock ticked as Barry stared at his wristwatch sitted on the sofa while tapping his feet accordingly to the sound of the clock ticking. The time was 6:20am, and she isn't here. He chuckles as he drank his tea. Barry looked up as he heard a ruckus at the front gate. He grinned as he knew it was Palma. He dropped his tea and picked up his phone as he called the head security "let her in". Palma walked in with her hair bowed low. Barry frowned as he saw how messy she was. Her hair was flying in all direction, her eyes was red and she was wearing the same clothes she wore yesterday. He stood up and walked close to her but stopped and covered his nose. She stink of alcohol. "Step back"he said. Palma took a step back and smelled her self "damn it!! " she cursed. She can't believe she smell so bad. She woke up so late and forgot to take her bath nor even brush her hair, no wonder the security didn't let her in. She look like an insane clown. Barry shook his head. He can't believe this girl, didn't she look at the mirror before coming out. "I can't stand the smell. You can have your bath in the guest bathroom by your right "he said.

"Thank you sir!! " Palma ran to the guest bathroom quickly.

After having a good bath she came out with a robe around her body. She looked at her clothes, took it and smelled it. "I can't wear this... What should I do. Yea!! I will call Gustin "Palma picked her phone but the battery ran dead.

"Gosh!!!! Damn it "She yelled so loud that Barry had to ran to the guest room and knocked. "Are you okay? ".

"Emm... Y.. Yeah ".

"Then why do you have to scream?! "Said Barry with a bit of anger.

"I... I.. emm.. think I can't wear my clothes any longer"she stutters. Barry rolled his eyes and murmured "I thought so". He clapped his hand as a lady walked towards him with a dress. She gave the dress to Barry and left. "Come out"he said.

"Why? " she asked. Barry pinched between his nose, "will you come out and stop asking question huh!! ".

"Sorry sir "said Palma and she stepped out. She clasped her hand nervously as she stared down. "Take this"he said and gave her the dress "come out in sixty seconds "he said and left. It was an off -shoulder pink mini gown with a pink heels. Palma squeezed her face in disgust. "Sir? "She called walking towards him as Barry was frozen. The dress fit her so perfectly and she look dazzling. Barry cleared his throat and stood up "yeah? ".

"Can I change the dress? ".

"Why? "

"Emm.. I hate pink" she said frowning. Barry almost laugh seeing the frown of her face but he held it. "But you wore pink before "he said.

"It was purple sir ".

"What is the difference? "

"Purple is darker"she grim. Barry smiles, she looks so cute. He cleared his throat and said" manage that for now. We are running late for work".

"Aha!! Yes!! Let's go" she quickly ran out to cover her blush, cause his smile was so breathtaking.

On their way to the office, Palma sat at the front with the driver as Barry was at the back reading a newspaper. "Don't you have anything to say to me miss Jordan? ".

"About what sir? "Palma asked. Barry paused, how can she forget easily. Is that how she forgot me?

"I want you to write a hundred pages on how sorry you are"he said.

"For.... Oh!! "The thing later dawn on her "am so sorry sir!! " Barry didn't reply back. The car stopped at the front of the building as Barry came out with Palma. "Go to my office and clean it. Got it? "

"Yes sir" with that Barry walked away.
