"You have a gift for me?" the little girl hold her father's hand and walked with the hope that she would receive a surprise gift for her birthday. She gave a smile that could make the worst moments of the father dissolve right away.

"Sweetheart, wait here a moment. I have to meet a friend. After that, I will take you to the park. Ok?" the father said to his little daughter.

"Yes" she said quickly. 

The little girl looked around. The building was so big, it was so beautiful. Everyone was shopping and she made sure that she would receive a gift from her father. She giggled when she thought about it.

Suddenly, 

"BANG"

The gun banged and made the little girl frightening. Looking around, she saw a young man pointed the gun at her father. Her father fell down on the ground.

"Daddy" she shouted and ran to her father. The people stopped her.

"No, Daddy" she shouted hopelessly. They pulled her out and took her father away. 

Turning back, the little girl looked at the young man with hate in her eyes, looked at who shot her father.

------------

"Dad. Dad" Celina was sleeping and was calling her daddy.

"Celina. Celina. Celina " Alicia, her sister, was trying to wake her up.

"Dad" Celina shouted and woke up. Looking around, she saw all was just a dream.

Hugging Celina, Alicia asked "Are you dreaming about Dad?"

Hugging back her sister, Celina told with a small smile on her face "Yes, I did. But he was in a very good place". She didn't want to make Alicia worry. The death of her father made her stronger, she must be strong to take care of her sister. It was a long time since he left, but with her, everything seemed to have happened just yesterday.

"Today is the first day you work in the new office, isn't right?" Alicia asked Celina.

"Oh my God. I forgot" Celina suddenly remembered. Quickly, she prepared everything then came to the office.

------------

Celina came to the office. 

Looking around, she was dazzled by the big and professional space of the building office. 

"It's a dreaming place to work" Celina looked around and thought.

"Oh Celina, you came in so early" Lady Smallwood came to hug Celina and said with a cheerful grin.

"How is your new place? I found it. Do you like it?" Lady said with a smile while walking with Celina. (Celina Walker, 26 years old, was one of Lady Smallwood's efficient assistants. She had been working for Lady Smallwood for two years. Before coming here, she worked in Bristol. With Celina's cleverness, Lady Smallwood decided to take her to the main office and was responsible for the important tasks)

"Good morning, Mrs. Smallwood. It is very nice and comfortable. We really enjoyed it. I sincerely thank you" Celina looked at Lady with her appreciation and said.

"That's great" Lady said.

"Oh. Hello, Mycroft. Hello, Anthea" Lady greeted Mycroft and Anthea when she saw them.

Celina turned around. Standing in front of her was a man in a black striped three-piece suit. He looked over 40 years old. With a white shirt pairing with a dark blue and wider striped tie, he was so elegant.
