Autumn stood glued staring at the departure of the mother. His feelings that were yesterday so loose and happy, are now back in chaos. It was too bad for the beautiful girl to get out of there. Autumn decided to go back to sit on the park bench. He remembered the situation of Fleur, the little girl who was now sick. Benjamin must be overwhelmed to take care of it alone.
The wind blew quite heavily that afternoon. Autumn again put on the coat she had taken off. His gaze glared with an empty mind, until a message entered and scattered all his daydreams. The brunette girl reached into the bag. He took the phone and checked it. It was a message from Gabriel.
Congratulations on having your idea selected for next summer's event. Prepare yourself well. I hope you can work with other colleagues.
Autumn slid her breath as she flicked her long hair back. He saw the phone screen again, when there was another message coming from Gabriel.
It's time to get to work. Learn to be professional.
Autumn snorted in annoyance. The longer, the green-eyed man grew more and more annoying. Autumn grabbed the bag she had placed next to her. After that, the young girl moved from there. He tried to act ordinary, even though his heart and mind were so unreasonable. This autumn, it felt so gray to him.
The brown-coated girl continued to step on the sidewalk. He doesn't care about the surrounding. The gaze of those gray eyes was fixed straight ahead, slightly empty and glaring. In the end, a small step from the foot of the level clad in Autumn's 5cm brown heels boots, had arrived at The Royal Royce's office. Not excited, that's the look of the face shown by the beautiful girl with the posture. Autumn, just sitting at her desk. He felt lazy to do anything. At that time, he just wanted to go home and be alone.
"Miss Hillaire, you have more than enough time to prepare. So, I hope there is no reason for you if the time comes for a mistake" Elloise said with a scorn on Autumn.
"Nobody can predict something that hasn't happened yet. Mistakes will always be in every way, even though we have tried to make and prepare everything so perfectly" Autumn replied cynically. He knew that Elloise wanted to find a commotion with him.
"It can't be like that, Miss Sweet. Why do we prepare everything from far away? That is all to minimize the slightest mistake that may occur. Ah, that's the difference between a professional and a beginner. I know that you are still in the learning stage, but remember that well" Elloise said arrogantly. He was talking to the brunette girl.
Autumn who had sat down, stood back up. He put one of his hands on the table, and the other hand on the waist. "Then, I will leave all my duties to a much more professional person to avoid any mistakes" he replied with a cynical smile that he addressed to the young lady before him.
Elloise laughed crisply. He then shook his head slowly accompanied by a shout of disbelief. "Gosh, Elle. I have absolutely no idea why Gabriel could have chosen your idea for next summer's event. In fact, here are a lot of brilliant ideas that go into my work desk. Unfortunately, I had to follow the instructions of our handsome head of marketing" Elloise quipped in the end.
"Then you ask Gabriel yourself. I also don't know why he chose the idea I proposed. Anyway, I don't care. My internship time here is only a few weeks away," said Autumn with a no less sneering attitude than Elloise.
"What's so amazing? Our chief marketing officer's name is Gabriel, isn't it?" Autumn folded her hands together on her chest, as if accepting a challenge from Elloise. The girl knew that the young lady before her was several years older than her. But Autumn doesn't care about that. One thing is certain, Elloise has invited him to talk to the end in a tone that smells of debate at the wrong time. The young woman did not know, if Autumn was experiencing frustration that she had not yet vent.
"You want to step on me, Miss prettier?" Elloise defied back. He felt unacceptable, because so far no one had dared to oppose his words blatantly as Autumn did.
"You started it!" show Autumn.
"Remove your index finger from before me!" Elloise brushed Autumn's hand aside, drawing attention from her co-workers.
"Then what do you want, Miss Ruler? You want me to bow down and say yes to everything you say? You are also an employee here, living and eating from the monthly wages paid by the company! We are the same, even though your position is much higher than that of myself or other friends. However, that doesn't mean you can say with all your heart to everyone!" annoyed Autumn blew away her emotions at that moment.
"Shut your mouth!" Elloise attacked Autumn first. He pulled the girl's long hair until it staggered and approached her. However, Autumn immediately countered the young woman's treatment. Both of his hands grabbed the blouse that was on the inside of the blazer and pulled it tightly. Some buttons from the clothes that Elloise was wearing slipped off then fell to the floor, exposing the upper part of her chest. Elloise's reflex removed her hand from Autumn's hair and held onto the front of her blouse.
That's when Autumn showed me who she was. The gray-eyed girl floated a fist which then landed right on Elloise's pointed nose. The young lady looked up while taking a few steps back. He almost fell backwards, if no one was holding his body.
"What the fuck?" firmly, Gabriel's voice sounded at that moment. He helped Elloise to stay standing. While the young woman was busy withholding blood from her nostrils.
"What are you doing, Elle?" emphatically.
"He started it!" show Autumn upset.
"Never happened to anything like this before. It's really embarrassing!" Gabriel seemed to dislike what Autumn and Elloise were doing. "If you want to fight, then please go and do it outside. I don't want any commotion in this room!" snarl. A moment later, Gabriel turned his gaze to Elloise. "Immediately treat your wound and stop the bleeding," after which he turned to Autumn. "You come to my room!" let's get pissed
