episode 5

Three days after. Sitting on his office chair, he keeps rolling the pen on his fingers. The memories of that night keep messing in his head. Back before, outside of the parking lot he can clearly recall the moment where the voice of a woman is calling someone a "Honey".

The flash memory of the sound by that woman's voice suddenly repeats in his mind. "...Honey! Over here!... "

" Clark. " He said as he snapped out of his thoughts and now glaring at his butler.

" Yes. I got that woman's background check. Here it is. "

Clark replied in an instant and handed over the folder that contains information about Stella.

" It turns out that she's currently applying for a 'work from home' 'data entry clerk' to your company, young master. "

A moment of silence aired as he reads Stella's resume.

" Hire her. But let her know that the work from home basis is not available anymore. " He said.

" Got it, young master."

" By the way, our men also discovered that she had an ex-boyfriend working in our competitor's company. He was the administrative director of the Colm company. "

Hearing that made his eyebrow twitch, his overwhelming amber eyes glance at his butler.

Frowned. He read further through her information.

With her educational background and skills she can apply for a higher position, so why striving the lowest? Ellerick's thoughts inside.

Meanwhile, Clark suddenly felt the intense pressure in the room.

" When is the day of her interview? "

Ellerick asked.

" T-Tomorrow sir, she'll be taking an assessment first and will be interviewed afterwards. "

He sweatily replied.

" Make it today. Skip her assessment. According to her experience she is more than capable of the position. Tell the HR department about it. "

" Yes sir. "

On the other hand, Stella is doing her usual job. After stretching her arms, a beep tone caught her attention and the notification bar popped in her phone screen. She clicked to see it and her eyes instantly widened after reading the message.

" Whaaaaatt! "

The next thing she knew she was chasing a cab that just passed through to her.

She had troubled thoughts inside.

How can they change the date of my appointment like that! I wasn't expecting this from my dream company. It said it would be today at Ten o'clock in the morning! It wouldn't be a problem if they notified me sooner! Or at least change it later in the afternoon!!!...

Shes shouting her thoughts inside her mind.

" Holy fudge!! There's only thirty minutes left! I won't make it! "

She said out loud as she gave up stopping the third taxi she saw passing. "

" Hey! Need a ride? "

A man on a big motorcycle, wearing a white jacket asked from a bit of distance. He's wearing a tainted helmet and Stella can't have the visibility of his face.

Who is this man?... I really need to hurry up now... She told to her self. But after what happened from that night, she's having a hard time trusting the man.

" Are you for hire? I-I will pay you after. "

She said.

" Oh, let me take off this thing. "

Although she didn't hear him saying that, he removed his helmet and his handsome face was exposed. His black colored hair about his shoulders, looks unintentionally messy while tied up, but it suits him very well. Some of the bangs strands in his face are swaying by the mild blow of wind.

" Let's go. Hop on! " He said with a very charismatic smile.

Stella didn't even flinch a little since all she cares about is her heap of distress. She approached the man and just took the opportunity.

Whatever. I can't lose this job. I don't know if I will get this chance again in the future! Fighting her own thoughts. She hopped on at the back of the man's motorcycle. He handed over his helmet to her.

" Haha wear this thing. I think you need this more than I do. "

He said with a joyous tone.

I don't know if it's fine... But if anything happens, I'll freaking jump away from this! She said to her self as she locked the buckle attached under her chin.

" Ready when you are! "

He said with a joyous smile on his face

" O-okay " She said.

" Okay! Better hold tight to me babe. "

He said then instantaneously blast a speed.

" What's that? I didn't hea-- "

" YAAaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! "

Her scream is slowly fading away from where they are located just a blink of a moment ago. She gasps on the man's back out of shock. She couldn't hear him clearly because of the helmet.

" Hold on tight! " He said while enjoying the fast drive.

" So! What's our destination!? " He added.

" Cozmo- Cozmo building sir! "

She replied. They have to talk loudly to beat the extreme flowing wind.

" Alright! Cozmo building here we go! "

He shouted as he increased the rate of their speed. "

After a few minutes, she's standing in front of the building. Showing her sincere gratitude towards the man after refusing her payment even if she insisted. She checked her watch and glad they only took almost 10 minutes to arrive.

" You're welcome, beautiful. my name is Barrett. "

He said as a response to her thankfulness.

" I'm Stella. Sorry again to bother you. I'd like to talk to you more but I'm really in a hurry right now. " She said.

" No problem! I won't take much of your time. I'll go ahead too, see you next time! "

He beatifically replied after he closed the visor of his helmet attached to his head. Then his motorcycle sprint away with him.

What a nice man... She thought to her self. Eh.. Now is not the right time to think of this! I must go. She added while hasten herself, looking at the entrance of the building.

Evening that night, Stella's pouring the cat food on her cat's feeding bowl, she keeps petting her chunky cat's head. She started to talk with buyoyo, her cat, like it's going to give her any response.
