Melody's POV

After the incident that happened in the morning, I make sure I kept my distance from the Aderemi brothers. I didn't bother entering after he gave a straight order that I should cancel all his meetings. The transparent glass on his door that I do use to spy on him was shut and I couldn't see any of his frustrating movements.

When Giovanni pushed me, I hit his desk and it left a nasty bruise on my left side. I got hit because I didn't know how to mind my business.

"I think I deserved it." I thought.

A few hours passed and it was nearing lunch hour but still, Giovanni had not come out of his office and I haven't seen Lorenzo. I was worried for both brothers and although Lorenzo didn't deserve my sympathy, I still feel sorry for him. When lunch hour came and he hasn't come out of his office, I was pushed to knock on his door.

"Sir," I called but I didn't get a reply. "Are you okay? Do you want me to get you anything?" I asked but still, I didn't hear him say anything. "You can ignore me all you want but I'm not going to let you starve because if I did, that would make me a bad assistant ." I joked and when I didn't get any response, I walked to the CEOS department office.

"Is anybody hungry?" I asked them and they all turned from the computers to look at me.

"I am starving." It was Anita who first spoke up. She shut her computer and stood up from her seat.

"You guys go ahead, we will join you," Ken spoke on behalf of himself and mark.

"Okay. What about you Lindsey?" I asked her because I had nothing against her. She might hate me but I don't.

"Why do you care? You are a disaster." She answered back.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Stop faking it melody. Everyone heard the argument between the brothers which I know was caused by you." She accused.

"What are you even saying? I didn't cause anything and you have no right to judge me like that." I retorted.

I didn't like how she accused me of something I know nothing of. She had no right to do that because I didn't do anything wrong and even if I did, it was none of her business.

"That was harsh Lindsey. Back off." Anita warned her but Lindsey didn't listen instead she went on.

"The truth is always bitter right?" she smirked and pretended to work on her computer.

I didn't know how to react at that moment and even if I did, it wasn't going to end well. I ignored her and walked out with Anita who apologized for Lindsey's behavior
.
"She wasn't always like that," Anita said.

"People change Anita," I replied.
We both walked to the cafeteria and took our seats near the window to see the view of the people walking on the street. It was the perfect view. I ordered spaghetti and barbecue chicken since I didn't have breakfast while Anita ordered fries only. Since I promised Giovanni I was getting him lunch, I ordered his favorite which was potato chips.

While waiting for our orders, Anita decided to ask him about the Chinese brand project. "So how far are you with your proposal?"

"Good. Just need to add something more interesting." That was all I said and just then, our orders came including Giovanni's lunch. We both dig in and didn't say anything afterward. Halfway into the lunch, I saw people getting and rushing out of the cafeteria like they were been chased except that I didn't see anyone chasing them.
