Taming Mrs. Mafia

24 Like She's Walking On Clouds

Life inside the office was not easy.

Lily and Terrence kept on interrupting her work but their pestering didn't cause Luna's mood to dampen like it used to. What kept her spirits up was the excitement she felt while waiting for the concert day to arrive.

She met some Code Red members before and she admits she found them intriguing and familiar so she searched for information about them online.

They were a group composed of eight members.

Xynth was the leader's name and she hadn't met him yet. He's also the eldest member of the group and it showed because he was the most mature-looking.
Valentin was the same age as Xynth, just a few months younger. His androgynous face which was in contrast with Xynth's manly features made a lot of fujoshi fans ship them together. He was the one who scolded the member with a pointy nose back when Luna visited MEGA for the first time. (Fujoshis are fans of male and male interactions; To ship people together, is to consider them as couples as wishful thinking).
Sage, the weirdest member of the group, liked to make unusual actions and facial expressions in front of the camera. Most of the time, he was always on his phone playing games or reading some electronic books. Hiro was the choreographer in the group. He looked really cute but when he performed on stage, his facial expression changed into something fierce and cool. Luna hadn't met these two, yet.
Another member was Czar. Just like his name, he's like a royalty who earned royalties with the songs he made. He was the main music producer of the group and because it was him who mainly drove the group to success with his songs, other members listened to him like a boss. He was the first member of Code Red Luna saw, the one who came out of the recording room and scolded the members for being noisy.
The last three members were Dice, Gray, and of course, Forrest. Dice was the youngest and his specialty was in break dancing while Gray and Forrest were the power vocals of the group. Dice also helped Hiro in making the choreographies. Gray was the member accused of being 'rude' to Luna but she didn't mind his random comment about meeting an amnesiac patient for the first time. It's not like what he said was an insult to her so she did not mind it at all. Forrest was Terry's son and he was so talkative that he was always responsible for creating a good image for their group in different shows. He made sure that their shows were never boring.
All eight helped each other in making their group successful. Czar might be the main music producer but Sage and Dice also contributed some sick beats for the rap parts of their songs. Most of the time, it was Czar who wrote the lyrics, too. In all of their songs, his name will never be absent among the credited lyricists but members' ideas will sometimes be accepted and their names will also appear next to his.
Luna had been stalking them online but lately, she always ended up tired when she got home because of the tension at work so she didn't have the chance to learn more about them these days.

Saturday, Luna's last day of work that week, finally arrived. It was as if her butt was on fire all day. She cannot sit still in front of her desk. She also checked the time every five minutes. Because of her impatience, time seemed to pass slower and she felt annoyed because of that. She also kept on suffering from headaches and Luna didn't know if it was because there was something wrong with her head or maybe it was because of the computer's radiation.

Lily once again pestered her that day, which further irritated her. She kept on insisting that they exchange tasks for the nth time because Ms. Lucia kept on making her translate unimportant documents. It seemed like Ms. Lucia was so dissatisfied with the work she submitted that she always asked Lily to do them again.

Luna had a hard time believing that a person like Lily existed so close to her in real life. Her shamelessness grew each day.

Without facing Lily, Luna said, "I have a question for you, Lily."
