Matthew couldn't stop laughing, even though what they were discussing wasn't all that funny. Or was it ridiculous? Who knows? But Matthew really didn't want to lose his sense of humor over this.
"You seem quite amused, sir," Thomas remarks as he sips his coffee. "I'm just stating the facts."
"Yeah, I know." Matthew tries to compose himself. He clears his throat briefly and looks back at Thomas. "But why is the report I received different, then?"
Thomas just shrugs. "You should ask Ms. Sonia about that."
"But so far, her work has been, okay?"
"Just okay isn't enough, right, sir?" Thomas voices his concern again. This is about Olive. Who else could they be talking about that's making Thomas a little annoyed? Why is this girl the topic of discussion? After all, meeting with Matthew isn't just about discussing Olive, right?
"I understand, Thomas." Matthew puts down his cup. "As long as it doesn't cause problems in the CBD, I think it's okay."

Seira lies weakly with an IV drip on her left side. Since last night, Olive hasn't left her mother's side for a minute. Occasionally, she lovingly strokes the slightly pale face. Seira's condition is much better now compared to when she first arrived at the emergency room with Koni. Olive can't imagine what would have happened if Koni hadn't been with her mother last night.Koni, upon seeing Olive arrive and hearing her talk about Seira's condition at work, left them both. It wasn't easy, but what could she do? There was work she needed to finish first. She promised to join Olive as soon as her workday ended.It didn't matter to Olive, though. Her mother was already in the care of the hospital staff. She was confident that her mother would be fine. At least she needed to maintain a positive outlook because her fear was not unfounded. Besides exhaustion, her mother had consumed a significant amount of alcohol. It could be said that her mother had a seizure because her a

Olive never expected a visit from Thomas. Earlier this evening, Yossie and Bu Marta had already come to see her. Ayana had conveyed her apologies for not being able to visit her mother. Olive completely understood that, and it wouldn't have been a big deal if Marta and Yossie hadn't come either. Olive knew they both were probably busy and it would be inconvenient to visit the hospital.Their visit didn't last long. It was just about inquiring about Seira's condition, who was now awake. Although still weak, her condition was no longer too worrisome."Thank you so much, Mrs. Marta and Yossie, for coming. Sorry for the trouble," Olive said."Oh," Marta smiled. "You've been apologizing all along. You take care of your health too, Liv. No one can replace you in taking care of your mother, right?"Olive had shared a bit about her family, but for the real issues, she wouldn't say a word. The most important reason was that her mother was exhausted from working to

"I thought you were still on duty today, Liv," Yossie said with a sparkle in her eyes. Without Olive for a day, Yossie felt quite lost. Plus, Dela still hadn't shown up. She said she'd be back in the office today. Dela had messaged, saying she was doing much better.Hearing Yossie's words made Olive smile faintly. "It's not good to be on vacation for too long. They might think I'm avoiding work."Yossie furrowed her brow. "Who says that?"Having known Yossie for a while, it seemed that Olive had to get used to her straightforward yet somewhat naive behavior. Why did Yossie have to emphasize the sarcastic comment? Olive's intention was clear, right? All Olive could do now was sigh quietly. "No one.""But your mom's condition has improved a lot, hasn't it?"Nevertheless, Yossie was a caring colleague. The question made Olive nod with both relief and sadness. She couldn't stay at the hospital for too long."Thank goodness she's doing much bette

"Good morning, Olive," Thomas greeted her nonchalantly."Morning, sir." Oh no! Caught red-handed. What Olive had just said was actually true. Thomas might be good-looking, but he was annoying. If there was a scale of annoying in this office, Olive would definitely put Thomas at the very top."Clean my desk while you're at it, Liv," Thomas ordered firmly as Olive seemed about to walk away from him. How audacious. After complaining about him openly, he didn't even apologize? Thomas wasn't going to let that slide. No one in Senayan had ever been as bold as Olive."Why me?" Olive asked, pointing to herself. "We have Miss Wina, sir." Wina, one of the office girls at the Senayan branch, took turns with Mr. Harso in charge of office cleanliness."Why wait for Wina when you can do it? It won't take long, will it?"Olive squinted in disbelief because Thomas said it so nonchalantly."Get to it, Liv, before a customer shows up. Remember, cleanliness is

Weak, tired, drained, limp, sluggish—Olive feels it all right now. How couldn't she? It's Wednesday today, but why are there so many customers that she can't even take a peaceful break? She ate like she was being chased and couldn't help but think about the crowded queue in the waiting area. Plus, everyone wants everything done quickly, even though dealing with money needs to be meticulously accurate. She can't afford any discrepancies in the deposit slips or the physical condition of the money. Especially when she thinks about the deposit slips, Olive becomes even more attentive. She doesn't want to be scolded again by her boss because of deposit slips.She doesn't know what's going on, but Olive thinks it's because it's nearing the end of the month. Luckily, there haven't been any significant issues while she's been handling the reports. The transaction totals today are also balanced, and there haven't been any problems that make their hearts race. At least, the exhau

Unfortunately, it was just a plan. As soon as she knocked on Thomas's door, his eyes seemed impatient to have a reckoning with Olive."Have a seat," he ordered, holding a file that Olive had noticed since earlier. Not that she cared about its contents, as she had memorized them by heart. What she wanted to see was Olive's reaction when she found out what he was going to say.Olive obeyed and sat on the comfortable couch. It didn't take long for Thomas to sit in front of her, handing her the file that piqued Olive's curiosity. "What's this, sir?""Read it," Thomas said, leaning back comfortably.Olive furrowed her brow but started flipping through the pages one by one."I remember that your transfer here was also for a promotion to head teller, right?"Olive glanced up briefly and nodded. "Yes, sir." It felt incomplete for Olive if she didn't respond to Thomas. "What's this about, sir?""This is my assessment of your credibility during

Ever since Olive left his office, Thomas had a lingering sense of unease. Especially when he kept imagining Olive's eyes, as if she were holding back tears. But what could he do? This was indeed his evaluation of Olive's performance. Could he manipulate it? No, he couldn't. Thomas remained within the bounds of professionalism at work. However, he also had to delve into what Olive's real warning signs were.First, she wasn't particularly meticulous.Second, she seemed somewhat emotionally unstable. Proof of that was her frequent grumbling.Third, perhaps because many people praised her for her good work, her actual performance wasn't all that great.That's what Thomas thought about Olive's current situation. That's why he didn't think too much about the document he had given her when he left for home. Whether or not the girl accepted it was up to her; the evaluation had already been made. He would have to wait three more months for his promotion to head te

"Why with your face, Liv?" Seira asked as she moved slowly. The pain in her stomach was still there. Although she hadn't been allowed to go home yet, she could guarantee that she would rest fully for three days. She followed the doctor's instructions for her diet: soft rice with chicken or beef broth. She winced as her back felt stiff. After returning from the hospital, she wasn't allowed to move from her bed at all.This is all because of Koni, her noisy friend who never stops moving. Even though Seira knows best what to do.
