"S–I'm sorry, sir."
Lucy bowed her body in front of Sean. The man was surprised to see Lucy who suddenly came into his room. The girl was still not standing.
"Before a second, Miss Lucy. Can you explain why you came home first yesterday?" ask Sean.
Lucy frowned, "Home home...?"
"Yes, home. Yesterday Miss Karen said you went home first" Sean said.
Lucy slightly raised both eyebrows. No wonder the woman said it. He doesn't know what to do because there's no evidence.
"I'm not actually home, sir. I've been in this office all day."
Sean was confused to hear his secretary's assertive remark. "Why didn't the lady come to me for a meeting?" tanyakanya.
Lucy was worried, "If I told her, it didn't seem like I could just believe it. Because I was in a room where no one had access to it" he said.
"Do you know the CCTV on the 4th floor near the toilet is broken? Had it not been broken I could have explained it easily" he said.
Sean picked up the phone, "Let me tell the technician. But why is Miss there?"
"Someone locked me in the toilet, sir. You must be confused should I scream for help, right? I've done it but no one has come" he said.
Sean continues to listen to Lucy's story as far as the girl can remember. Arzen also told him that in front of the bathroom there was a broken toilet warning. Sean investigates the lies in Lucy's eyes but doesn't find them.
"Ar– someone saved me and was immediately taken to the nearest ER, sir," he concluded.
Lucy waved her hand, "Father need not worry, I've improved. It's also that if you don't believe it doesn't matter, I don't sue you" he said.
He bowed once more, "It is hard to believe, but I am not lying. If you want to punish me, I will accept it" he said.
Sean sighed and leaned back in his chair. Honestly, he was confused as to how to respond to this problem. He also regretted the damaged CCTV in the area Lucy was referring to.
"Eh? If you didn't meet yesterday, what client, sir?" Lucy's looking forward to the worry.
Sean shook his head, "It doesn't matter.It just so happens that they also change the time of meeting," he said.
"What's right, sir? Sa–I'll be in charge!"
Sean exhaled again, "No, Miss Lucy. You can go back to work if your body is healthy" he said.
"I'll investigate about CCTV and the area you're referring to" he said.
Lucy was prepared to hear the word 'fired' from Sean. He was prepared to accept punishment or pay a salary cut. However, it seemed like Sean was trying to understand and trying to figure out a way.
"Then, I go back to work—"
"Wait first. Miss knows who locked the lady in there?" ask Sean.
Lucy wanted to say it, but she had no proof. He didn't want to bring bad people he didn't even know. Don't let because of him, that guy got in trouble at the office.
"Ka—"
"W...?"
"I can't say it" Lucy murmured.
"Who, miss?" insist Sean.
Lucy fluttered, her eyes running around looking for excuses. "I forgot, sir. It was dim lighting so I didn't see!" clippiness.
Sean knows Lucy is lying. He has worked with Lucy for several years. The girl was in one of the people she observed her movements.
"Alright, you can get back to work," she broke.
Lucy took her breath. He returned to the secretary's office. Actually he was a little sorry not to tell who did it.
He himself has no evidence. CCTV was broken, no eyewitnesses passed through the toilet. Actually he could appoint Arzen as a witness, but it seemed like it would be a hassle.
They don't know who Arzen is and how he saved Lucy. They would definitely find it crazy to say that Arzen is a demon who has a contract with him. With breath in the air, he almost became a soulless body yesterday.
"Here you go, I better get on with the work. My reputation will be improved slowly," he mumbled to encourage himself.
Unknowingly Arzen was behind him. As usual use his invisible mode when visiting Lucy. Neighbors had already subscribed to take care of Loofyn as long as he left.
Arzen is secretly planning something. He'll help Lucy figure out who did it. The man silently followed Lucy wherever she went.
Then today, the girl went to the personnel section. He fulfilled his responsibility yesterday. Lucy is almost suspended but they decide to cut the girl's salary.
"You know the CEO almost canceled all the meetings yesterday when you came home all of a sudden" one of the personnel said.
Lucy nodded and left after getting sanctioned. His gaze and scorn were on him as soon as he came out. Lucy doesn't mind them.
Today, everyone seems to be avoiding him. Even Peter his old High School colleague was also indifferent to him. The man only gave her a quick glance without any intention of greeting.
"I don't know how you got out of there. But it's a shame that everyone is moving away from you" Karen whispered from behind.
Lucy looked up and stared hard. "What do you want?"
Karen smiled wryly, "Isn't it obvious? Stay away from Mr. Sean," he said.
Lucy doesn't understand, "The branch can't be far from the boss" she replied.
Twitching Karen's lips in annoyance. "Look, you're the one who's causing trouble!" said.
"I never intended to provoke any commotion and trouble from any side. I don't even understand why you locked me in the toilet just because you liked Mr. Sean" Lucy said.
Karen almost wanted to grab Lucy's hair. He snorted as the crowd began to stare at them. He nodded and left from there.
Even so, it was still Lucy who received cynical gazes from the people. They are just people who don't know the real facts. Karen manages to attract their attention and sympathy to corner Lucy.
The girl tried to be patient and returned to her room. He is lazy to face people who sneer at him. Right now, he only needed to return his good name slowly.
"Look, he did it again to Karen!"
"Is he sorry to Karen?"
"Cannot be. Karen's still sad, isn't it outrageous?"
"True, yesterday suddenly disappeared to make the CEO trouble looking for him. You flirtatious, do you want the CEO to notice?"
That's how they whispered today. Karen just put on a smile behind the wall. While Lucy held the rain in her heart.
Arzen who was beside Karen nodded her head. He did not expect the culprit to be a fellow woman. He had already prepared his fist.
"Woman, huh?" arzen Gumam.
He hissed, "It's a little difficult but I know how to teach him a lesson" he thought.
"So he likes that guy, huh? I also don't like Lucy being so close to that guy. But I don't think I should hurt the person" he murmured.
"Is it because I am an otherworldly being bound by rules not to harm beings in this world?"
He went away from there, "When the creatures here hurt each other."
