"Lake in." Amey smiled as she saw that it was her best friend. "The General Manager is apparently not too busy today," he said.
"Hufft," exhaled heavily. "I thought this job was fun, but it was the opposite" Jen said as she laid her body on the sofa.
"Yes, you're right. The higher the position we get, the higher the responsibility we bear."
Jen nodded. His mouth looks gloomy. His mind was still reminded of the bitter events as he broke up with his former lover and met the cold and rude assistant.
"I thought you weren't coming" Amey said.
"Hmm, actually, but I'm bored in the office too. Moreover, my office duties piled up. There are so many documents I have to look at."
"Casual Jen. You have to refresh, haha. I was promoted to general manager, so happy that I thought it was fun. But after going through the tough days, I was eager to go far to calm my mind. But after a long time, I became more engaged in my work and eventually it became a pleasant burden for me."
"Mey, you're a hard worker. I salute you. Therefore the Lord has brought you together with the same man as you, hardworking and loving."
"Huhah! You're Jen too. Mark is a good guy and a hard worker. He can also be a protector to you later."
"Pefff-bwahaha! A protector? From which side do you see that cold man as a protector? It's a destroyer!" kilah Jen's blood.
"Jen, listen. I know that guy very well. Mark is a loyal man. You can see how he treats Arsen? Although Arsen was an emotional man who was light-handed, Mark still faithfully worked for him."
"I know Mey. But it's different. Arsen's her employer paid her. So no matter how your husband treats him, his assistant will patiently deal with him. Lah, me? A foreign woman who had just appeared in his life. The woman he thinks is a troublemaker, how could she possibly be my protector? He's married anyway."
"AHAHA! Jen you're so innocent. Arsen alone who could be said to be savage and terrifying, could kill if he wanted to, but what? He can be a very, very considerate person and even very overprotective of me." Amey got up from her seat and walked closer to Jenifer. "Where do you know if Mark's married?"
"Excuse me, ma'am," said a woman who suddenly appeared from the door. "I've knocked on the door but maybe Madam didn't hear it. Forgive my sassness Madam."
"Oh, Eggie. It's okay, I was so serious about talking to Jen that I didn't hear you. Come on in, Eggie."
"Thank you Madam," lowered his head.
"What's wrong?"
"Mr Arsen called me and told me to tell the Madam if you'll be home at this time if the Madam doesn't answer the call, sir."
Amey. "God! Husband call me? I didn't hear his call."
"Master also said, in thirty minutes you'll call Madam, if you're done with the meeting."
"Good Eggie. Thanks for the info."
"Together Madam." Eggie lowered her head and walked out of the room.
"Wait!" jen shouted that suddenly stopped Eggie's steps.
"What's up, Jen? You know my secretary?" ask Amey curious."
Jen's not huffing. He stared fixedly at Eggie as he walked towards the bule woman. Eggie lowered her head and saluted Jen. She knows that Jen is Amey's best friend. Eggie smiled kindly at Jen.
"You know me, Miss?" ask Eggie.
"Miss?" get Eggie to ditch Jen's imagination.
"Are you his wife, Mr. red tie?"
"Mister red tie?" ask Eggie frown.
"I mean, Mr. Mark. Are you Mr Mark's wife?"
The deg!
Eggie opened her eyes wide. Cold sweat suddenly lingered on his body. The beautiful woman could no longer speak. W-how did this woman know about my relationship with Mark? Who is this woman? What does this have to do with Mark?
"Secretary Eggie? You hear my words?"
"Ehm, I .. I don't understand what you mean, Miss. I beg for permission." Eggie lowered her head and quickly walked out of the main director's room.
"I'm pretty sure that's the photo of the woman Mr. Red tie kept in his wallet, and in the room!" jenifer's Mumbles.
"Jen?" call Amey. "Who's in the picture?"
Jen runs towards Amey. "Yes! She's the woman I told you about. I saw him and Mr. Mark taking prewedding photos! But I still doubt they're married."
"What happened between Eggie and Mark? Have they divorced?" Amey was curious.
"Ahhh stupid time with them. After all, even if they are married couples who have divorced, or are still married, what do I care? Uhhh!"
Jenifer suddenly became upset. He clenched his hands and put on a tangled look.
"Trust me, Jen. Whether you're aware of yourself or not, you've liked Mark, and you're jealous of Eggie."
"No, Mey! You wrong. I don't love that cruel Master. He's the same br*hcek as Andra. He is rough, stiff and likes to be careless to women. Though at that time I had good intentions to return his wallet, but what? He even strangled me and was rude to me!"
Amey glanced towards the wall. He twisted his brain and guessed that Eggie had a past with Mark. Why would I know if Mark has a woman? Arsen never told her. He always said that Mark was an immortal single man. But there's no way Jen could have seen it wrong. Prewedding photo? Is Mark really married? But why did Eggie and Mark never show their closeness. They used to have an office in New York!

Eggie opened her drawer and stared at the back of the photo. The initials M and E are written there. With a shaking hand he turned the photo over. His face pias, especially when looking at photos of himself and Mark who is so romantic. Can't bear to look at the photo he turned it back and closed his desk drawer tightly.
Eggie wondered why Jenifer could find out about her relationship with Mark. No one knew that except Arsen. She thinks it's highly unlikely that Arsen told Jen. Especially Mark. It was impossible for Mark to discuss his past.
"Mark, did you tell the lady? If so, then you are very close to him. For twelve years you have not given another woman a place in your heart. Have you forgotten me? But .. I deserve to be forgotten. I was wrong!"
Eggie's regret came back to him. Especially when knowing the story of his romance with Mark who had long run aground and also had them closed tightly now known by another woman. Eggie thought, Mark has indeed closed his heart to her and opened his heart to another girl.
"You made the right decision, Mark. You shouldn't have vowed in front of me not to love another woman and to open your heart to another woman. You should be happy, Mark. Forget about me and start a new story with a woman better than me!"
