"What is that all about?" Angela asked her boss once their meeting was done. She almost wanted to smack his head, only if he is not her boss, so she only sent deadly glares at him but Adam only responds with a smile.
"Please don't lure me with your smile because..." She can't find the best word to say. She was obviously mad at him but his boss has the guts to even smile.
"Relax your job in the diner is done, though you are bad at it." He said.
"That’s not part of my job." She pointed, controlling herself.
"I can put it in your job description." His response and she can't he will say those.
"You're impossible! It's your personal matter." She said out of control.
"What do you want, Miss Secretary?" Now, she called him again not by her name.
"There's nothing that I want, it’s just that I feel bad hurting someone I don't even know." She said and Adam admitted that she was right. He is dragging his secretary to do things that are not part of the business but his pride will not admit it.
"What's done is done."He said not looking her way as he entered inside his car. Angela looked at him from the outside disappointed. He is someone who cannot admit his fault.
"Will you just stand there glaring at me or you want to go inside and go back to the office?" Adam said in the rolled-down window.
Even if she is mad at her boss, she can't let her chance of free ride to pass. She immediately hopped inside before his mind will change and left him there. The drive to the office was silent, gone is his smile, and they are planet apart unlike earlier, and she finds it so much better.

"I'll send to your email later the details about today's meeting," Angela said before he steps into the golden elevator leaving her, the ride in the golden elevator with him is also a once in blue moon chance.
"Angela? What's with that look?" Cam stepped in holding a Starbucks coffee.
With Cam, Angela can tell her about everything, and she is just in the perfect time
"Why do you care?" Cam said, and she can't believe she just said that after telling her.
"Of course, I'm guilty hurting the girl." She replied.
"Hurting the girl or the fact that Adam-" And Angela stopped her as she reaches her floor.
"Bye, bye Cam," Angela said pushing her outside the elevator, Cam only groaned as their talk is not yet done.
She stepped out from the elevator as she reaches the golden floor and immediately went to her office, not seeing Sandra in her station. Leaving her bag she decided to make coffee, she badly needs coffee.
In the pantry, she spotted Adam who seems frustrated in making coffee. She can’t help herself to smile seeing his face as he tasted his coffee. His face says it all, it's a bitter coffee as he added sugar and another spoon of it until he throws it in the sink, wasting the coffee. She didn’t know, how long she enjoyed the scene. She stepped closer shaking his head.
She may be mad at him earlier but seeing Adam struggling seemed her pill, she’s no longer mad at him.
"You need my help, sir? I make good coffee." She said confidently. He was obviously surprised by her appearance or the fact that Angela was there just watching him failed making his coffee. Not waiting for his nod or any words, she made for him.
Once done, she gave him a cup of coffee without words.
"Thanks." He said as he accepted the cup of coffee.
That's a first also, today is full of first from Adam. Angela then prepared two cups, for her and Sandra. She was silently aware that he is staring at her while she made them.
"Why two?" He asked Angela was confused about his behavior. He seemed not pissed as he is talking to her already unlike from the ride earlier.
"For Sandra." She decided to respond shortly as necessary.
"She's lucky because that lady can't make a fine coffee for herself." He commented while grinning his lips on the mug. Lucky mug! Angela wanted to slap her inner self for the sudden spikes of imagination.
Looking at him, he is not yet back to his usual self. The outburst earlier was caused by her. She wonders if Adam is really an arrogant and cocky boss or it was something just for a show. She likes him that way, an approachable boss, but she reminded herself not to enjoy too much for a day of change because working for him for the week is not enough to know his attitude.
"Angela, are you listening to me?" Adam snapped her out from her thoughts, she was spacing out while he is talking at her.
"Sir?" She said asking him to repeat whatever he said earlier while she was occupied by her own thoughts. But he just chuckled. Is there something funny, she looked at him in furrowed eyebrows.
"Are you spacing a lot? If yes, that is not good." He shakes his head while telling her the ‘not good part’.
"Then, what is it?" She said feeling lost.
"I haven't said a word yet." He said, and she sighed in relief, and he chuckled again.
What is happening to him?
"You must have seen your face." He said controlling his laugh. Adam is teasing her.
Before he can burst out to full laughter, Sandra appeared.
"What do we have here?" And Adam's reaction changed instantly as he put his empty mug in the sink and left them.
"Hi, Sandra! Good timing, I have coffee for you." She said not answering her question because she doesn't know either.
That was another side of him, he was playful.
Back in each station, she logged in to her computer and her Skype popped for a new message.
From Adam Green, Dinner meeting at 7 PM....with a client.
