Thomas grumbles softly.

"At the office, if I make coffee, I'll be hated by everyone," Olive says casually. With laughter and meaningful glances at Thomas's coffee cup. What does that mean? Olive knows she deliberately made salty coffee for Thomas.

If she remembers what happened yesterday, there was a sense of satisfaction, no doubt about it. But the problem is, the turmoil didn't just end like that. She has told everything to Darius and Riana. Their response? Laughter, of course. They said Olive doesn't know how to appreciate it. Being liked by the boss isn't a good thing; it's a source of distress.

Where does the boss's fondness come from if it's like this? Olive hasn't found a suitable correlation in Riana and Darius's words. Sharing with them didn't make Olive feel any better. In fact, it's getting worse, especially when she entered the office this morning.

Because here's the problem.

Thomas asked for a day off.

Said he had a stomachache.
