Ghost Dusk

Chapter 2 - Culun's Secretary

...༻◈༺...

Julie lives alone in a luxury apartment. Now he had just arrived at his comfortable residence.

His mother, Sasha, immediately welcomed Julie. He's not alone. Axton was with him.

Julie grunts violently. To be honest, his family never misses coming to him every day. It's been since Julie had an accident a year ago.

But as for Julie's inner eye, no one knew. The girl deliberately kept it a secret so that her dear ones would not be afraid.

"Julie, you're finally here. Me and Axton brought you your favorite pie. I've also cooked something for dinner" Sasha greeted enthusiastically.

"About? Come, Mom. I can take care of myself. I'm not a kid" Julie responded as she sat on the couch.

"I know you're not a kid. But what's wrong I show you affection every day. You live alone. From what I heard from the neighbors, you said you never took anyone to the apartment. So from there I concluded that you haven't got any friends and girlfriends." Sasha said at length. He held onto Julie's shoulder and continued, "we just worry about you..."

Julie glanced at Axton who had been playing mobile since. He looked at his brother. That was because the last time Julie asked Axton for help to stop her mother from coming to the apartment.

Aware of getting a plot from his sister, Axton turned his head. "I've tried, Julie. But our mother was very stubborn" he explained as if he understood Julie's gaze.

"Whatever." Julie got up from the couch. He immediately cleaned himself into the bathroom. After that, he had dinner with Axton and Sasha.

"Mom, please don't cook meat next time. Because your meat is always hard. It's always stuck in my teeth!" axton protests that have stopped eating barbeque meat made by Sasha. He seemed to pick up the flesh tucked between his teeth.

"Hard? I don't think. Right, Julie?" Sasha asked for the opinion of her youngest son.

"It's delicious. Maybe Axton's teeth are problematic, Mom." Julie tried to hold back a laugh watching Axton's attitude. His brother is also the CEO of the company. He runs a bigger company than Julie. It's just that Axton is the type of guy who is close to the family. He always tried to take time for his family. Especially after Julie's accident one year ago. His attention to Julie grew.

"Julie, when were you honest about mom's cooking? Nothing is normal" Axton said. He got a blow to the head from Sasha.

"Eat it! No need to complain! There are a lot of hungry people out there" Sasha said.

Axton breathed a heavy sigh. Then I had to finish the food. Julie who saw then gave a small laugh.

Indeed Julie always does not like to be given excessive attention. But he could not argue that the presence of his family always brought smiles and laughter.

Due to the existence of her family as well, Julie ignores the supernatural creatures that appear. Since dinner, Julie has seen a ghostly woman covered in blood.

Axton's phone suddenly rang. He immediately picked up the call that turned out to be from his girlfriend.

After speaking on the phone, Axton wanted to leave quickly. He left a piece of meat on his plate.

"Hey! Finish your food!" sasha.

"No, Mom. I don't want to keep Agnes waiting." Axton got off the dinner table. He immediately disappeared into the door.

"Look at your brother. It looks like we will soon have a wedding for him" Sasha said. Looked at Julie with a deep look.

"Yes, Axton loves Agnes very much. They should get married soon" Julie said. He was seen drinking a glass of water.

"What about you? Do you have anyone?" sasha asked as she propped up her chin with one hand.

"Someone?" Julie doesn't understand. Sasha's question is a little ambiguous.

Julie fell silent. The first person she remembers is June. His heart was beating faster again. Julie remembers the man.

'Gosh, why am I thinking about it?!' Julie shook her head strongly. He brushed aside all his thoughts about June. Remember that man is not human.

"Gee... From your expression there seems to be." Sasha concluded.

"Hell no, Mom!" refute Julie.

"I'll wait for the good news." Sasha shrugged both of her shoulders at the same time. He doesn't care about Julie's objections.

"Mom! Believe me, I'm not liking or close to any man right now!" Julie tried hard to convince her mother.

"I can't believe it. I'm more confident in the look on the face you showed me." Sasha chuckles. He believed the first conclusion.

Julie could only breathe out of her mouth. After letting go of Sasha, she went to sleep.

For Julie, the most challenging thing was sleeping. Because often there are supernatural creatures that suddenly appear and interfere with fun. No wonder he always sleeps with the lights on. Using an eye patch. Then cover his ears with cotton.

...***...

The morning sun is shining brightly. Time shows seven o'clock in the morning. Julie's in the office. That day happens to be Julie's corporate HRD team will recruit a new secretary.

As director, Julie's job is to trust her HR team. He will wait for the secretary who will replace Gavin.

The knocking of the door sounded. Julie immediately let in the person who came. He is none other than Gavin. The man begged not to be fired.

"I've apologized repeatedly. I hope you can change your mind, Boss." Gavin said expectantly.

"Sorry, Gave. I've given you too much of a chance. Now you can't get it anymore. You better get your things done and go, ", Julie said firmly. He does not mentolelir employees who often arrive late. Gavin held the position of secretary.

Sad, Gavin walked out of Julie's office. He immediately put his things into the cardboard and left.

Time shows at three o'clock in the afternoon. The HRD chief came to Julie's office. He took someone named Shane with him.

"Boss, here comes our new secretary. He is very competent and smart. His name is Shane Randall" Jeff said.

"Hello, Mr. Randall. It's nice to meet you. I'm Julie Anastasya." Julie shakes hands with Shane.

"I'm Shane." Shane answered briefly. He looks stiff and geeky. Looks like Shane's the kind of person who talks.

Shane's hair looks smeared with a lot of oil. His brown hair was a bit dull. He also always stood in a state of fused hands in front. Shane also tightened his legs while standing. Despite that, he was tall, pure white, and blue-eyed. Maybe Shane would be very handsome if he did make over. Because in the view just like his good looks are still clearly visible.

"Hopefully we can be good coworkers" Julie said.

"Yes." Yeah." Shane answered briefly. He smiled briefly. Until the dimples on his cheeks also appear in a short time.

Julie has absolutely no problem with Shane's character. For him, the most important thing is to be able to do work with discipline and responsibility.

Shane was allowed to occupy his desk the first day he was admitted. He was told to blend in and get to know the work environment. Shane will be fully working tomorrow.
