Chapter 9：CHAPTER 9: ROOFTOP (1)

SHANA

Even though I sleep late I always go to work with my usual time earlier than the others. I know I shouldn't have but I get used to it since I work here. 

"Good morning!" I greeted the security guards in the lobby.

"Good morning Ms. Shana" the two security guards greeted me back with smiles on their faces. They knew me already not because I work for their payroll but they knew me because I am always an early bird one of the earliest person who arrives in the company.

I pressed my floor and walked to my station as soon as I enter my office. I put down my bag inside my drawer, changed my 3 inches heels into flat shoes and grabbed my phone place it inside my blazer pocket.

I decided to go up to the rooftop and drink my coffee I bought from Coffee Angels. I need some morning fresh air to refreshing my mind due to Zari's disappearance and kissing my boss.

I walked towards the end of the rooftop that employees allowed to stay. The other side I heard that it is the property only immediate families of the owner of the company allowed but none of them was staying the penthouse.

I think I am the only one who always stays in the rooftop when I feel not in the mood or stress out with works. Not even once going here I meet other employees but no one tells me if this is off limits so I guess it is just they do not like being in here.

I find it peaceful looking up the sky or seeing tall buildings. I miss my parent's home that is one of the reason I love going up to the rooftop. 

Overall, my siblings and I live in the rooftop. I do not complain about the place we live, it is not just the view of the tall buildings you can see but there were trees and mountains on the other side. Unlike here in NY, most of it was tall buildings and lights in the night.

I finished my coffee and lean back for a while since it was early to go down but I set an alarm I might fall asleep without knowing.

I closed my eyes, feel the morning breeze. I thought my mind was fully awake but it startled me when my alarm rang. I must have sleep.

I quickly opened and turned it off but I screamed when I heard I was not alone sitting on the bench when I turned my face to the other side.

"Hi" he said. "Good morning!"

"Oh my gosh!" I burst out loudly. It was my boss sitting beside me the CEO of this company. "Oh, I am sorry."

"It is okay I think I scared you." He smiled, looking amused. 

"Yeah, I guess and you noticed that I screamed." I smiled back. "I did not even notice you sitting beside me. I must really in deep sleep." I said, blushing. I know because I can feel my face heated.

"Yes, you must really tire not even aware of my existence few minutes ago." He said still never left his eyes on me.

I even blushed with the way he stared at me. I feel conscious and scared that what if he notices that I was the one he kissed him last night and not the real Zari.

How do I explain to him? That I was tired last night's event and the situation of being kiss by hm. What will be his reaction if it is I?
