Mona*Lisa
COMMENCE TASK

Erika gave up, however she would never get the answer she wanted from Dean, so she decided to figure it out for herself.

Let time answer. Inner Erika

Erika believes that over time, she will know, or at least understand, the married life that Lisa and Armand live. Moreover, he will continue to be beside Lisa from now on.

"Alright Mr. Dean, just assume I understand and I will do my job as best I can" Erika replied with a gloomy look.

"Good then, lest you let Mr. Armand down, and please don't think of their relationship, their original marriage is no fabrication, it was all Mr. Armand did because he loved his wife too much, he was just afraid of losing"

Dean accidentally revealed a little personal life of his superiors because he could read what was on Erika's mind, there was still a sense of doubt as well as worry emanating from Erika's face, at least Dean hopes that what he says can slightly reduce Erika's worry so she can work with professionals.

And sure enough, the look on Erika's face immediately turned bright after hearing Dean's second explanation, but of course it still could not dampen her curiosity.

"Really?"

"Of course" Dean's answer was brief.

Erika could now breathe a sigh of relief, even though she was still not one hundred percent sure, and she would still be searching for her own answer.

"Thank God, Lisa was lucky, right what she said, Mr. Armand is indeed like a white riding prince, hehe"

Erika recalled Lisa's words before she left the parlor, and wished in her heart that one day she too would find her prince.

"Prince?" Dean said in disbelief as he tried to hold back his laughter.

"Yes, isn't their story like Cinderella's?" Erika said with sparkling eyes.

Sure enough, their story is like Beauty And The Beast, Miss Lisa was forced to marry Mr. Armand to survive the afterlife. Inner Dean.

"Hemmm" Dean could not answer, if he opened his mouth now then what would come out was the sound of his laughter.

As their conversation continues, Erika asks what she can and should not do while being Lisa's personal assistant, Dean answers all of Erika's questions in a concise and clear manner, so Erika can digest it easily.

It's true that there are no conversations that go out of the line of work, yes that's how their relationship is, only limited to colleagues, but who knows with human destiny, it could be that someday another sense will arise from within each of them.

The time has shown at eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Erika had arrived a few hours ago in the new house of her superior, she had even occupied her room indicated by Jeremi, she had just woken up after resting for a while, the journey from the orphanage to the capital alone was tiring, plus the conversation with Armand and Dean was quite draining his mind, making Erika immediately collapsed in bed

Geck..Geck..I heard someone knocking on the door of Erika's room.

"Who?" Ask Erica from the room.

"It's me Jeremi"

"I just wanted to let you know that Miss Lisa is on her way here, she'll be there soon, so be prepared to welcome the lady at the front door!" Jeremi continued behind Erika's bedroom door, without opening it at all.

"Thank you, I'll be out soon" Erika half yelled so Jeremi could hear her, because she herself had no intention of opening the door.

No more answers from Jeremi, it seemed like he was gone. Erika immediately took the towel from inside her bag and rushed towards the bathroom to clean herself up.

A few minutes later Erika was already looking neat with her formal suit, despite only being a home assistant, Dean still told her to stay dressed formally, then Erika stepped out of the room to the main door.

In front of the door Jeremi was already standing gallantly, there was still no sign of Lisa's arrival.

"Hello, Mr Jeremi, looks like Miss Lisa hasn't arrived yet?" Erika greeted Jeremi as she stood by him.

"It's coming soon" Jeremi replied, looking at his watch.

And sure enough, just three minutes later, a black sedan car entered the yard and stopped right in front of them, the driver came out first and opened the back door where his employer was sitting.

Lisa came out with such a graceful look, making Erika who had not seen him for a long time, was she really his friend who had lived in the waiting room with him?

"Thank you Mr. Eman" Lisa said politely to her husband's family driver

"Same miss, this is my duty" Reply Mr. Eman more politely while lowering his head slightly.

Lisa looked forward towards the entrance, and she was quite surprised to see the face that she also missed, not Jeremi of course.

"ERRY..." Lisa screamed as she ran over to her best friend.

"Don't run later you fall" said Erika a little worried, but a fraction of a second later her body was embraced tightly by Lisa.

"You've arrived" Lisa said without taking off her arms, she already knew Erika was coming, but she thought it wouldn't be so soon as they met, and Armand told her last night.

"Of course I have arrived, yesterday malm Mr. Dean picked me up and dragged me here immediately" said Erika who returned Lisa's embrace.

"Hahaha, you know for yourself that Dean is just doing his job" Lisa starts to let go of her arms and stares at Erika's face, "You've eaten?"

"Ah yes, it deserves my stomach to sting, I forgot that I haven't eaten from last night"

All this haste makes Erika forget to herself, as well as Dean, she also forgot to offer Erika a meal, she just remembered to take her to meet Armand, then what about Jeremi? He intended to offer Erika a real meal, but seeing Erika collapsing immediately undoes his intentions and eventually forgets too.

"Yes aampuunn, you're not fed?" Lisa glanced cynically at Jeremi.

"I will prepare food for Miss Erika now" Finding Lisa's sharp gaze made Jeremi choose to directly turn towards the kitchen.

Lisa sighed as she shook her head, "Sorry, I'm so hard on you" Lisa seemed to feel guilty, however she was the main reason why Erika was dragged here.

"Why do you apologize?, it's not whose fault, I forgot myself, and I'm sure that Mr. Dean also forgot his own stomach needs"

True what Erika said, after returning to Dean's house went straight to the room and jumped on his bed, his eyes immediately closed but he could not sleep soundly because of the rumbling sound of his stomach, make it a dilemma between continuing to sleep with a sore stomach, or forcing his body to wake up and eat first.

Because he could not resist hunger, Dean finally chose the second option, but fateful when he got to the kitchen he could only see the contents of his empty refrigerator, it was unfortunate indeed the fate of the exemplary secretary.
