Nop grimaces. "She sounds unpleasant," he says as he sips on his coffee.

Nop was one of Mon's childhood friends. Her other friend from childhood, Yuki, begged her not to take the job at Diversity.

However, she just had to.

She felt like something was calling her here.

"You should have come to work with me and Yuki," he says after a few moments of silence.

He had just shown up at the office, asking Mon to have lunch with him. She felt bad about saying no, especially when the whole office had their eyes on the pair.

"She is not that bad," Mon waves off.

She did not know why she felt the need to protect Lady Sam. It is not like Lady Sam had been kind to her.

In fact yesterday, she threatened to fire her.

"Eh?" Nop looks at Mon as if she has a large bug on her face. "She gave you an impossible task!"

Mon shrugs. "It is not impossible. People are so bored now, they will follow anything."

She finishes lunch and then heads back to the office. She was not paying attention in a hurry to get back to the office. She does not stop walking until she bumps into someone.

"I am so sorry..." She apologizes. It was not until she noticed that she had run into Lady Sam, who looked rather displeased.

If Mon was paying any attention she would have noticed the bright red mark glowing on her arm.

"Rushing back?" Sam asks with a slightly venomous tone to her voice. "Do not bother you are already late."

"I..."

"Tell your boyfriend that if he wishes to take up that much of your time, he can apply for a job here," Sam says. "He looks like he needs one."

"Nop isn't my boyfriend and he already has a job."

Sam blinks and she dusts off her clothes. "Either way. You cannot afford the distraction. Can you?"

"No, Lady Sam."

She notices that Sam's eyes appear to be scanning her. Then they stop on her wrist, facing at her soulmate mark.

Why was Lady Sam staring at her soulmate mark?

Sam cleared her throat. "Do not let it happen again."

"Yes, Lady Sam." Mon nods.

"Get back to work." Sam says sternly. "I will call you into my office later. Your designs better wow me."

Mon felt like she could die on the spot. She rushed upstairs back to her desk. She spent the next few minutes cleaning up her designs. Trying to gauge what Sam would like, but that was impossible.

Sam didn't seem like she liked anything besides scaring her employees and wearing all black or gray.

Maybe she should change the color scheme, it might be too bright for the CEO's eyes.

Mon was nervous as she was called into Sam's office. Her grip was tight on her laptop, her knuckles had turned a pale red color from how hard she was gripping.

"Lady Sam?" She asks.

Sam was on her phone, and appeared to be playing a game?

Was she really in here playing Candy Crush?

Sam uses the hand (not playing Candy Crush) to gesture Mon to sit.

"So," Sam says, sitting her phone down and holding out her hands for Mon's laptop. "Is Nop your soulmate?"
