CHAPTER 31: NEW BOSS

"So, what happened last night? How come sir Taese brought you with him and sleep to his condo? What's the reason? Is there something going on between you too?"

When Ivyna entered the office room, July greeted her with a lot of questions. She's five minutes late when she arrived at the company. She still feels the aching inside of her head that cause her to wake up late.

She sat down in her seat before she answers her.

"Nothing." She said unbothered. "He just let me since I'm drunk—"

"We both had drunk! Why I didn't with you guys?"

"Coz you're knocked down already. So, he suggested letting you stay at the bar."

"And bring you to his condo?"

She nodded.

"I don't believe you. There must something happened last night that's why he brought to his condo. Come on tell me, I won't tell anyone—"

"What do you think the reason then?" She said. She rolled her eyes when July shrugged.

"Don't know?"

"Believe it or not he just brought me to his condo because I'm drunk, that's all, nothing else." Ivyna said.

"Hmm..." July had a teasing tone and smile in her lips.

Ivyna shook her head.

"Think what you want to think. Go to work. We have a lot of things to do and finish today." She faced the computer.

"Want to have fun again tonight?" July teasingly asked.

"Pass. I'm still having trouble fighting this headache."

July laughed at her.

They started to do their works. July couldn't zip her mouth so she continues ask Ivyna about last night that made Ivyna get irritated to her. Once the break bells, they both went to get some coffee. Ivyna was thankful that July stopped asking her about what happened last night because it made her remembered Taese.

When they got back to their office room and went back to work, someone knock to the door that broke the silence between them.

"Ivyna, open the door." July said while she's focusing herself doing her work.

Ivyna did not leave her eyes onto the laptop.

"You open it. You’re near from the door."

"But I'm busy!"

"I'm busy too!"

They argued to who will open the door. The man who's outside their office heard everything so instead waiting to someone open it for him, he do it by himself since no one wanted to open it.

"Ah, excuse me..." The man said when he finally opens the door.

Ivyna and July both looked at him.

"Ah, eh, since no one wants to open the door, I open it by myself." He awkwardly laughed. "Who's Ivyna?"

Ivyna looked at me with a confused in her face.

"Me. Why?"

The man looked at her.

"The CEO wants you to his office right now." He said. "I'm going."

Ivyna was too shock to what he said so she couldn't thank you to him so July did it for her.

"Thank you. She will go."

The man smiles July before closing the door.

July faced Ivyna.

"Whose CEO is looking for you?" She had a suspicious smile on her lips.

Ivyna rolled her eyes and get up.

"It's Mr. Mion, Juls. I'm going."

July laughed.

"Bye."

Ivyna made her way to Mr. Mion's office. She was confused why he's looking for her. She remembered that she hasn't passed any paper yet. So why did he look for her?

'Did I do something wrong that I did not aware of it?' She asked herself.

Once she reached the office, there's still someone in his office. So she waited for about ten minutes when the guest went outside.

She sighed before knocking onto the door of his office.

"Come in." She heard Mr. Mion said inside.

She sighed again before holding the doorknob and pushing it inside. She doesn't know why she's feeling nervous right now. She thinks there's something bad will happen.

"Good morning, Sir." She greets while walking towards the seat.

Mion stopped what he's doing when he heard Ivyna's voice. He looked at her and gesture the seat.

"Sit down, Ms. Ortiz."

Ivyna nervously smiled at him before she sat down.

"Uh... Uhm, you're looking for me?"

Mion nodded and clasped his hands.

"Actually, I'm planning to tell you this later before once office hours end but since I'm going to meeting later, I will tell you now."

It made Ivyna nervous more.

"W-What is it, sir?"

Mion smiled at him.

"You're fired."

Her eyes widen hearing it. Her mouth hangs up. She couldn't utter a word. She's too shocked.

"W-What?" she said once she realized what he said. "S-Sir, I'm fired? Why... I...uh... Did I do something wrong? Did I...uh... Did I violate any rules? S-Sir..."

Ivyna couldn't think any reason why she suddenly fired. She knows she's been lazy but she really tried her best do finish the papers as soon as she can. But, now, her emotions ate her. How come she got fired? No tears came out to her eyes since she's shocked. Wondering and asking herself what's the reason that pushes Mr. Mion to fire her.

Mion laughed at her.

"I'm sorry. I'm just kidding."

It made Ivyna looked at him confused.

'H-Huh?' She thought. 'He's kidding... So it means, I'm not fired right... I'm not, right?"

"Uh, Sir, enlighten me what's going on?"

You sent

"I'm kidding about firing you," he clarified. "But you are really. You're fired."

"H-Huh?" It made her more confused. She's not fired but her fired? What?

"To clarify you, you're fired to my company but I will hire you to other company."

"But, sir, why?" She's still don't know the reason. "Did I do something wrong? Did I violated any rules—"

"No, no, no, you're not." Mion shook his head. "This just a like a promotion for you but in different company."

'Promotion?' She thought.

"W-Where's company, sir?"

"Before I tell you this company name, I will exp2to you first what's your job?" He said. "You will be the secretary of the boss of that company and your salary will be triple than your salary here."

Her ears widen after hearing about salary.

'Triple?' She thought.

"So, are you in it or not?"

'Triple salary.' She thought once again.

And without any thought, she nodded.

"I'm in, Sir. When I will start? Where's company?"

Mion smiled before showing his phone to Ivyna. He recorded it to make sure she can't back off.

"I recorded because I know you will take back what you said once I tell you who the boss of the company I am talking about?"

"Huh? Why should I? Who's the boss, then?"

He smiled.

"Taese."

Ivyna's eyes got widen.
