We've just finished arranging the refreshments on the table when Holly and her group arrives. I guess they went on full tour of the set. Her kids started to mingle with mine and she went towards me. Her heels clacked against the cements. "Finally, I see that you're good at something," she said. I don't know if she's complimenting me or the other way around. But I'm sure it was the latter.

I just keep arranging the drinks, ignoring her.

I can sense her glaring at me and she let out a sighs, "Where's Lou? I thought he asks me to meet him here."

I glances briefly at her, ".... Why don't you asks the staff?"

"I did, and they say he was with you,"

"Well, they're wrong."

"Hm, funny." I caught her taking a sip of her drinks through the corner of my eyes. "Maybe he's preparing." I could hear smirks in her voice, as she put her cup on the table. "Aren't you curious about what's he been preparing for me?"

I want to ignore her but I can't help but to be curious. I turn to her with my arm cross over my chest, "You got my attention. Just spill everything, Holly."

Her smirks grew wider and I started to regret saying that. She leans in, "Lou and I, is going to make this night very special," she whispered to me in a sultry kind of voice. I swallowed hard and break our eye contact. "I don't care." and turns back to the table.

"Of course you care." she sneered. "You like him."

I stopped and glared at her, "Then why are you telling me?"

She smirks. Oh, only God knows how much I want to slap that smirks of off her face. "Because, like I've told you." she flip her hair, "I won't let you have him."

I was taken aback for a second. I really don't know what' her problem with me. I wish I could read mind. So I decided to ask her. It's now or never, "Why are you keep on doing this, Holly?"

"Doing what?" she pretended not to understand me or because she's just daft.

I rolled my eyes, "Well, this! Making everything a competition,"

"I do not,..." She scoffs, "What are you even saying?"

I decided to ignore her question, "Not everything is a competition, Holly. Hell, I'm not even trying to compete with you,"

"Like I said, I am not competing with you." she raised her voice a little.

"Really? And telling me about you and Logan special night isn't a way to tell me that you won him?"

She went silence and stared down at me.

"Figures." I said and continue arranging the drinks. I heard she huffed and then, she throw her half-drank water at me before stalking away. I gasped. Geez, thank God it was just water. I take the tissues and start wiping the water dripping on my blouse. "Are you okay?" Ms Gilda asked, concerned.

"Yeah, it just water. Don't worry." I smiled reassuringly at her.

"That little witch, what is her problem anyway?" she wonder.

"I've been wondering the same thing since the first day I start my intern," I replied. Ms Gilda just shook her head, "I can't imagine how you're dealing with her,"

"This is normal,.. But I guess I push her button today," I pressed my lips together, suddenly regret saying the things I've said.

"Well, I was just started to wonder why you didn't do it sooner," Ms Gilda replied. I laughs, "But then again, it might be weird if she suddenly being nice to me." I shivers at the thought.
