Roswell's mommy joined us at dinner, and I found it even more difficult to swallow my food because of the way she stared at me."Since you're already here and I haven't set up for another meeting, I'll introduce you to Kali," Roswell said.I looked at Roswell and smiled at him. He held one of my hands that was resting on the table before turning to his mother again to speak."Mom, this is Kalila, my girlfriend." Rowsell started to introduce me."Kali, this is Rochelle, my mother," he added.Since Roswell's mother sat down in front of me, we haven't been able to meet each other formally, so I smiled before standing up to extend my hand in front of her."Nice meeting you, Ma'am Rochelle." I greeted her energetically, even though I could feel the nervousness in my heart.She just looked at my hand in front of her, which made me even more nervous because it looked like I would be embarrassed in front of Roswell."Mom," Roswell called his mother.Her eyebrows were slightly raised until she
"I'm sorry about Mom. Don't think too much about what she said," Roswell told me.We finished dinner, and now we are just drinking on their spacious veranda upstairs with Vera. Agatha has already fallen asleep, and a nanny is watching over her there, so I feel safe."I really can't stand with her anymore, Roswell. She thinks too highly of herself!" Vera said with annoyance still in her voice.I found out that their relationship with their mother is not quite good because she is with another man. I also found out from Vera that the Beatrice she was referring to earlier is the daughter of their mommy's husband."And I'm so sorry for whatever she said to you earlier, Kali. Don't worry, I won't let that happen again," Vera added, then she looked at me.I just smiled at her and nodded because they were saying sorry to me earlier. I told them that it's okay, even though I was hurt by what their mommy said. Well, there's nothing I can do because they themselves said how cruel it is to them;
"Why did it take you so long? My gosh, I've been waiting for a while," Vera said when we got to her house.The same reaction I had when I saw Roswell's house was the same when I saw Vera's house. It is also very big, and of course the design is different."We just woke up late, so we just arrived," Roswell replied to his sister.I saw Vera raise an eyebrow when I nodded, as if she were not convinced by Roswell's reason. I just avoided looking at her and looked at Agatha, who was quiet next to me while looking around her. I'm guilty because Roswell and I didn't really wake up late."Whatever," answered Vera, then approached Agatha."Agatha, are you excited for today?" she asked Agatha while smiling."Yes! So excited!" Agatha answered, then jumped further.The three of us laughed because of Agatha's answer. I have already explained to her that I will be working, so she will go with Vera first today. She seemed to understand our situation, and when she found out that there were many kids
My two eyes almost rolled again when I sat down at my table. That's what I almost forgot when I agreed to enter Roswell's life. Well, I can't take away that arrogant man as his friend."Kali, what did you do? Don't you know who you're talking to?" Miss Karen asked me."Miss Karen, it's only my first day here. So, how can I know that man?" I asked, even though the truth is that I really know him.I saw Miss Karen's eyes widen, then she lightly patted my hand."Lower your voice, and maybe someone will hear you. Sir Damian is also our boss, and he is a friend of Sir Roswell," she told me.I held my breath because I just realized that that man is also my boss. Well, I don't care because I work for Roswell and not him."This is all you have to do. After doing what Sir Roswell asked you to do, do some research about the company so that you become familiar," she added.I nodded because she had a point. That's right, and that's exactly what I'll do when I finish the task that Roswell gave me
Next time, don't do that again. Maybe they'll tell us we're in a relationship," I said to Roswell.The two of us have been talking for a while now about him buying me clothes because I didn't bring any extra.He raised an eyebrow at me as he sat in his swivel chair. His two arms were crossed on his chest while I was standing in front of him."Why not? It's true that we really have a relationship," he said, then shrugged his shoulders.I breathed a sigh of relief and rolled my eyes at him, causing him to laugh at my reaction."I'm just kidding. I only ordered Karen to buy you clothes because you might not be comfortable in what you're wearing," he explained.At some point, I understood him, so I nodded."Don't do that again," I repeated to him.I didn't stay long inside his office, and I went back to my work outside. Miss Karen also oriented me, and when the lunch break came, I entered Roswell's office again because he called on the telephone."What do you want for lunch?" I asked him.
I knocked on Roswell's door before I finally entered it. I saw him signing the papers on his table, and when he saw me enter, he just looked up slightly at me. He looked at me for a moment, then returned his gaze to what he was doing."How's your lunch with your new friends?" he asked.I immediately smiled and approached his table."It was good, and they're funny to be with. I'm happy that they welcomed me here," I said, and then I couldn't help but smile.He nodded and looked at me."Nice to hear that, Kali. But I heard something outside earlier," he said, looking at me seriously.I frowned slightly while looking at him and immediately swallowed. I immediately knew what he meant, but I'll just pretend that I have no idea what he's saying."What is it?" I asked him.He raised an eyebrow at me, so I shrugged."Is it true that girl Roxy poured you hot coffee earlier?" he asked seriously.I knew it. That's what he found outside. I just shook my head because the news seems to be spreading
"I-I'm sorry, ma'am, but I can't accept that. I love Roswell, and I know you don't like me for him, but my love for him cannot be exchanged for a large amount of money. I'm sorry," I explained, then bowed.I heard Vera sigh before she spoke."I can't believe it! How can you do this, Mom? You don't even know how to be shy!" Vera said one after the other."If anyone should be ashamed here, it's not me. She's the one who should be ashamed because she's just using you and Roswell to get money. I don't know what this girl fed you, and you're making a fool of yourself!"I want to speak and defend myself by saying that I'm not what she thinks I am, but I also know that she won't listen to me. She wouldn't believe me, so I better keep quiet."You don't know what Roswell can do when he finds out that you insulted his girl again."Vera stopped speaking when her mommy spoke again."And you don't even know what I can do! Mark my words, Vera! You know me!" she said angrily to Vera."Mommy!"My hea
After we had breakfast, we went back to work. I did a lot that morning because I mostly answered emails and calls for Roswell. I'm still struggling now because I just started as his secretary, but I know that in the next few weeks I will get used to it and learn more."Kali."I was busy in front of my desktop when Miss Karen came, so I looked up at her. I saw the rather thick papers she was holding, so I waited for her to speak again."Here's the paper that needs Sir Roswell's signature," she told me, then handed me the thick papers.I was a little surprised by so many, but I just nodded."It's too much. Is it necessary now?" I asked while looking at the papers.I remembered that Roswell still had a meeting, and he only had half an hour left in the office."Yes, Kali. Within this day, Sir Roswell must have his signature because it is required for accounting. We just gave it today, but I think you will do that. Just bring it inside so he can tell what you will do with those," Miss Kare
