"Help me."

I walked through the corridor that connecting my office with Lily's.

“Good morning sunshine!” I greet Lily.

“Hey girl! Where are you yesterday? You didn't come back from lunch.” She said while she sip her coffee.

“I was sick.” I lied. Again.

“Sick huh?” She raised her eyebrow. Then she walk to her desk and took something from her drawer.

“So, who is this?” She said and gave me the newest newspaper.

I looked at the front page. There's a huge picture of me and Maxim last night, when we arrived, when we're dancing, when I'm talking with his parents and while he help me when I almost fell.

The article said 'MAXIM DAXTON'S NEW LOVER?'

“You still say that you sick yesterday?” Lily folds her arms in front of her chest.

I really hate it when she gave me don't-lie-to-me look. I couldn't lie to her. God help me.

“What?! Maxim trapped me!” oops.. Did I just blurt that out?

“Maxim huh? You called him by his first name now huh?” She raised her eyebrows, teasing me.

I'm sure that my face looked like tomato now.

“You're blushing so hard woman. You can' t lie to me.” She smiled like she just won a lottery.

 "Sooo.. You hooked up with him last night huh? How it feels? I bet he's really good in be-”

“LILY!! STOP!” I covered my face in embarrassment.

“Hahaha.. El and Maxim, kissing in the tree..” I cupped her mouth.

“Shhhhh..!! He might hear us you know!” I whisper-shouted and cover her mouth.

“Whafffttdheeehjevvk” She talked to my hand.

Suddenly, Roger barged in to Lily's office.

“Hey! Knock first, could you?” I said to him.

“Sorry.” He said with nothing but smirk in his face. Then he kiss Lily on the lips passionately.

“Ewhh!!” I covered my eyes.

“Mhhmm..” Roger moan and I saw him smirking but still kissing Lily.

“Oh my God! Get a room you guys!” I whined. Roger pulled away and smile evilly at me.

“We already in a room you know. You're the one who should get out.” He smirked and continued kissing Lily.

“Ugh! Whatever!” I said and walked out of Lily's office and bumped into a hard chest.

That familiar scent filled my nostrils. The person who I bumped into put their arms around my waist to kept me steady.

Oh God. Please not him, please.

I opened my eyes and find that familiar emerald eyes.

“I'm so sorry.” I said and tried to release myself from him but he didn't let me.

“Are you okay?” He said, studying my face. I nodded then he released me.

“I heard noise from Lily's office. What happen there?”

“Nothing.” I said, too fast.

He raised his eyebrows, “Trust me Maxim, you don't want to look what happen in that room.” I said, wrinkling my nose in disgust.
