Chapter 11: PLATFORM ISSUE

"Fill all of these documents, Zoe!" Senior Laura handed her a set of papers and a pen

"They are a little bit much!" she thought scratching her head

As she saw the numerous amount of papers she just thought they were to be signed quicker. 

"Leave it to me!" she said preparing her pen

"I sign this ... this ... this and this." 

Zoe used her pen to wobble on the papers and handed them to her senior as they were ready.

"What's next to do?" she asked gently

She had to know precisely how to schedule out her planning and it was proper for her to ask.

"Well then! You will get to the summer parade and you will receive interviews with local celebrities. After that, you will go to the platform."

"I see! This is all well noted." Zoe said

Laura just nodded

Before the spring parade, Amy was not that close to her manager and she will be very hard on her. The more she rises, the more she feels she will be a help for her in the future.

"Oh!" Laura winked

"Zoe do not forget! you will be accompanied by someone to the platform," she said 

"Who is it?" Zoe gently asked

"The boss never mentioned it!" she recalled

What!? she thought

All I know is that the person insisted to be on the platform and asked personally to the Boss not to mention her name. Laura explained

Don't you think it's odd and the person doesn't want to mention his name? Zoe said crossing her arms

This doesn't feel good at all! 

...

Later in the afternoon, 

The day was hot and breezy. The perfect scent of summer. Lin Zoe was going to a café in Shen Zi's car to get a coffee. Only then, she was just accompanied by the driver. 

She glared through the car glass, the tall skyscrapers decorating the town. 

"Why is there suddenly someone who is wishing to be with me on the platform?" she thought

"I have nothing against it but why all of a sudden?"...

"Miss Shen, I arrived!" the driver called

The driver opened the door for her to get out and gently gave a salute. 

"Thank you!" she waved at him

"Are these the benefits of marriage?" she thought flattered

"Ahchoo!" she sniffed

Her nose felt itchy and pricky for a moment. It became a little bit pink by then. 

"Someone is speaking ill of me!" she murmured as she arrived at the counter for her order

"Please may I have..."

"Ahchoo!" she sniffed once more 

"Oh! I'm sorry," she said embarrassingly looking for a tissue

"Please madam here is a tissue. Pay attention to the cold!" the tenant of the counter gently proposed

"Thanks! Please where is the restroom?" she gently asked

"There!" he gestured as she was leaving for the restroom

When she reached a door in the restroom, she sat down and wiped her face. 

"Someone is seriously speaking ill of me." she said grinding her teeth

"It's not important but what makes me perplexed who will assist me at the platform." she thought 

"I'm afraid she may foil some of my speeches and preparations."...

Zoe stood up and opened the door of the restroom then slowly walked back to the counter;

"The driver is waiting, I have to get my order and get to work."

When she left, a line of three people came for orders too. She had to wait for three persons to pass before she could get back her order. 

"No, I will have to wait!" she said thinking about the boredom

Two people had already left and one was taking his order.

"Remaining this one and I take my coffee." she thought cheering herself

The person took his order and it was now her turn. 

"My turn!" she said as she quickly reached to the counter

"Miss, it is you again how can I help you?" he asked

"I want coffee with sugar and milk." She said 

"Okay, madam! We will be doing it right now." The man gestured bringing the order to the kitchen 

"Please ask them to send it to my car!" she said

"What is the number of your car?" he asked 

...

"Driver!" Zoe called as she sipped her coffee

"Please bring me to the agency. I will have to prepare my documents and resources." She said glaring at the car glass

The phone of the driver ranged and he picked it up after stationing by a pedestrian route.

"Yes, Master!" He picked at the call

Zoe was not fully understanding what they were saying and just gazed at the driver. 

"Should I come?... Okay, I'm coming."

The driver started the car and moved the engine away from Zoe's agency.

"I'm sorry madam! Master asked me to pick him."
