From that day on Catherine never again had lunch with her best friend. Honestly, he was very sad because he could not hear the curses from Alena at lunchtime. He can only talk thinly when working hours take place. They always stop because they are afraid of being caught by the boss.
Alena also felt something strange from her best friend. Catherine never wanted to be invited to lunch again for various reasons so she inevitably had to pass lunch with Mr. Haxel both.
"Cath .." call Alena down.
"Hm" said Catherine without taking her eyes off the computer screen.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Why are you asking that?" answer and ask back Catherine still focused on the screen while typing.
Alena took a breath. He looked at his best friend from the side.
"Let's have lunch together again, yeah. I'll order the same menu as you. And I paid. How's it?" alena's hoping Catherine will.
"Sorry, Alena. I-"
"You've been acting strange like this for a week, Cath" Alena said.
Catherine stopped her activities. He looked back at his best friend's face.
"Sorry, Alena. I-"
"Are you deliberately avoiding me? Did I make a mistake with you?"
Catherine lowered. He did not dare to look at Alena's face. The woman is good at reading expressions, and she is afraid to seem to be hiding something.
Catherine looked up her face, looked back at her best friend with a smile to cover her lies.
"I'm not who you think I am, Alena. What are you talking about? It's just I'm-"
"Avoid me for something?" cutting Alena again made Catherine nervous.
"S-what something? I never shied away from you."
Both of Alena's eyes were squeaking. He looked at his friend with suspicion. Catherine immediately lowered her face, worried that Alena might be suspicious of him.
"Maell .."
"I-iya, why? Why are you looking at me like that, Alena? Please stop!"
Alena drew her face closer to Catherine with the same gaze.
"Are you really jealous?"
Both of Catherine's eyes were opened.
"Jealous? What jealousy?" exclaim that woman.
"You remember you said Mr. Haxel was cool and cool even though he was a widower. That means you're always secretly watching, right? And, are you jealous to see me lately close to her?"
Catherine rubbed Alena's face.
Catherine unintentionally said that and made Alena even more wondering.
"What do you mean, Cath?"
Alena's face now turned serious, Catherine immediately pursed her lips because she was almost lost. She was worried that Alena would be disappointed in her.
The woman now looks overwhelmed. Alena becomes even more suspicious if there is something behind Catherine's change.
"I-i .." Catherine was trying to put words in her head, how to get Alena to believe her.
Suddenly a woman came to Alena's table and kicked the table hard enough. So that the center of attention of other employees is now seized on the woman.
ARBORE ..
Alena and Catherine were shocked. How not, someone came suddenly and played his cubicle table with disrespect.
"Basic liar!" then the woman exclaimed.
Alena also stood up after the woman raised the word to him.
"What do you mean you're telling me I'm a liar?"
The woman smiled with a hateful expression towards Alena.
"Hey, did you ever tell me not to let us all try to break the office rules to prove that the second chance was like what Mr. Haxel gave you?"
"Yes. Why?"
"You liar. The second chance does not exist. That second chance was only given to you because we all know that you actually have a special relationship, right with Mr Haxel?"
All the employees who were there started whispering something to each other with their eyes fixed on Alena.
"A charge like that? I was given a second chance because I broke company rules for a reason. And Mr. Haxel accepted my reasoning, because it was not a mistake made intentionally" Alena replied firmly.
"Then why are you telling all of us here to try to break the rules? You want us all here fired so you're the only best employee here, huh?"
"I never told anyone to do that for free. I just want you to include yourself, just in case if you're in an urgent situation, you can all break the rules for obvious reasons. Then anyone will get a second chance."
"What kind of empty "mong is that, huh? The second chance does not exist. You got it because you're her special waitress, right?"
"So what you say!" Alena started to get hooked.
"I'm speaking right, right? Not only me, other employees also often see you leaving with Mr. Haxel. Go to lunch together, and go home together. I don't think it's just that, I'm sure that outside your office you'll be together and come to your room to have a special relationship."
Pmaqb ..
A slap landed smoothly on the woman's cheek. Everyone there was quite surprised to see it. Seeing Alena was that brave. Because honestly, Alena can't stand the woman's accusations.
