Lie To Me

Chapter 39: 39

"Have you seen the new Plant Manager?" I heard Ruth said, she was asking Lucy.

Lucy nodded. "Yeah," she answered gloomily.

Ruth sighed as it sat beside Lucy. "It's still sad that Sir Mikael has left."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Besides, let's just think, it's for his pleasure that he left," Allen said.

Unfortunately, Mikael resigned to follow his girlfriend who moved in the US. It was so sudden that all of

us were shock to know that he's leaving a day before he fly to California.

That one, the tendency to really surprise.

"Because Ma'am Jia, Sir was interviewed so I agreed, I found someone else ... Then, I'm leaving."

Adrian said.

I snorted. "Why is it my fault all of a sudden?" I said.

"Well, Ma'am-don't be offended-but you're very light choosy. It's Sir Mikael but you've been watching,"

Ruth said.

I shook my head from what I heard.

Until now, they still haven't been able to move on about that matter.

A year ago, Mikael confessed that he like me and if I will agree, he'd like to try us. But I said no. No not

because I don't like him. I actually answered no because I don't think I like him enough to risk our

friendship.

Mikael is a great friend and I would like to keep him that way, a friend that I know I will not lose no

matter what happened.

And I was not wrong for choosing that decision because months after, Mikael met Leora, the girl he fell

in love.

Some said, maybe Mikael didn't really liked me because he was fast to find someone else. But I don't

believe those. Maybe, he really liked me, but his feelings for me is not as strong as the feelings he has

for Leora.

He just like me, but Leora, he love her.

Through the years and experience, I have learned to distinguish what is genuine feelings to infatuation.

And most of the time, I met infatuation that I'm not interested to process more than it should be.

I'm cool with just myself. I'm not rushing anything yet.

"Mikael and I are just friends. You all so stubborn. I'm going to punch you one by one," I told them. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

They laughed.

"It's a pity, Ma'am. You and Sir look so good together," Lucy said.

"Nah. I'm too good for him," I said, kidding.

They laughed again.

Another thing that progress so well the past years is my relationship with my team. I was hard at first,

especially those days after we came back from our trip.

It was so hard for me to talk to them without feeling awkward, I can't even look them in the eyes. But

they reached out, they help me overcome the situation I never wanted to be in.

My luck in part is that I have met people like them.

"You know, Ma'am. We won't be surprised if become an old maid," Niko said.

I scolded him. "God. Stop saying bad words. I will kill you if that come true, ha!" I said.

We were like that the whole day, fifty percent working and fifty percent 'having fun'. It was fine to me

though. As long as the work task has been done, things like this will never be a problem. Also, we're

more productive this way.
