ANYA's POV

'Yes that I have some fucking feelings for you and that I wanted to be with you...'

"ANYA!!"

I let out a startled yelp when Jul's loud voice near my ear rang through me, pulling me out of my reverie.

"What the heck, Jul!!!" I yelled at him as I clutched my chest, feeling like I was going to have a heart attack.

"Well, it's good that I was able to pull you out from your crazy deep thoughts." He answered with his brow cocked to one side while he continued walking to the entrance of the building, leaving me behind.

I mentally shook my head then hastened my steps to keep up with him.

Now's not the time for me to be absentminded. It's been two days since what happened to his place that morning but my mind was still out there, staying in that scene, not wanted to just forget about him.

"Set aside whatever bothering you now, Anya. It's time for work and it's not good to keep zoning out." he said when we're inside the lobby with lots of employees running around. All of them were in their usual work attires, same with me, my usual tucked in white collared shirt with black pencil skirt and closed shoes, while my wavy brown hair was in ponytailed.

My mind went back to Jul.

"Yes. Don't worry, Jul. I won't let my stupid thoughts affect my job here, rest assured."

"It's not stupid, you're the one who's stupid."

My eyes was narrowed into lasers as I glared to his way. He just smiled and shrugged without looking at my way, probably knowing that he would be dead with my glares.

How dare he to say that! I shouldn't have told him what happened that night and after that. I asked him about what happened in the club before I became unconscious but even he didn't know. My bag with my phone in it even gone with me that night. I really want to know what happened that night, to me.. and why Robert reacted that way when I asked him about it.

My mind went back to Jul's snide comment.

"Jul, just shut up okay? I don't need your sarcastic comments right now." I uttered with an annoyed voice.

"Yeah, yeah... Bye for now!" He answered with a grin then ran to HR department.

I just sighed and rolled my eyes as I walked to the elevator for a lift to my own department. When I reached the second floor and then inside my department, almost all of my officemates offered a small smiles and greetings. I returned it with a force smile, smiling was the last thing I would want to do right now.

I quickly get to my own cubicle and was greeted with a mountainous piles of financial documents and my old things on my table, things that I had left before leaving for my supposed-vacation which turned tragic and messed my life now, particularly my stupid mind and heart.

I slumped to my chair and sighed, now exasperated when my thoughts lingered in that event. I mentally shook my head to shake that thoughts away from my system then took a few documents from the pile and start my day with it... Facing the computer with the pile of documents to offer me some comfort and to occupy my mind.

It was just a few hours had passed with me doing the same boring paperworks when a chat box suddenly appeared at the monitor of my computer. I paused with what I'm doing and opened it. My eyes rolled skyward when it's a group chat box with the employees. Almost all of their texts were either with stupid happy emojis and heart emojis.
