ANNA'S POV

As usual, Aiden came to pick me up. I went inside the car and he started driving but he stopped near a university.

A girl like my age or maybe a year older than me came and sit beside me. She didn't speak a single word the whole ride. He dropped me at my office and went away with her.

I don't know what will they do with that poor girl. ' Is Tan using her like he is using me for his business?'. I was feeling bad for her but I can't help her because even I'm not able to help myself. I shrugged my thoughts and went inside.

Working in the office in front of Won I was feeling embarrassed because of what happened yesterday. I cried in front of him.
'my god'

Won didn't mention anything about yesterday but I saw him stealing glances at me many times. I thought he is wanting me to thank him. I also wanted to take permission for a half-day holiday.

Looking at him I was thinking about how to start a conversation. Soon he glanced at me again but stopped when he saw I was also staring at him.

Frowning his brows, he asked. " Do you want anything Anna?". I quickly looked aside before speaking.

" Actually Mr. William....ummmmm..... I want a half-day holiday ". I shuttered again. But now I'm used to it.

" Is everything alright"? He asked and I looked at him with a confused face. ' what he has to do with this. I have never seen him talking to other staff members like this'. " I mean you were not feeling well yesterday and now you.... That's why I asked".

" Everything is alright sir. I just have to go somewhere today ". I said half lie and half-truth. Yes, I have to go somewhere but I'm not okay since the last two weeks.

" You have my permission. You can take half-day leave. You can also take a day off for tomorrow also if you want. It's okay I'll manage ".
He said with a small smile.

I shook my head in no. " Thank you, sir, but I'm okay with half-day only ". He nodded in response. 'How sweet of him I thought'. I have never met someone who is this kind. He didn't think twice before giving permission.

I unknowingly smile at him that he returned more softly. I get a little bit comfortable with him today. He teaches me more about the works and I came to know how many mistakes I have made till now. But he never said a single word for all those messes.

' I doubt if he actually is Tan's twin or not. They are completely opposite of each other. Won is sweet, smiley, and always in a good mood even after all those burdens of work. The exact opposite of Tan's personality. He is far away from sweetness, never smiles and always in a bad mood'.

After lunch, I thanked him for yesterday and for the lunch also this time. I made my way towards the main office gate. I hesitated a little before going out because I didn't tell Aiden that I'm going somewhere. He will come to pick me here. And when he'll not find me he'll definitely complain Tan about it. But I care less about this once. I have to go there and I'll.

I brought bouquets from a nearby store and went to my destination in a taxi. I getting off from the taxi. I walked and stopped near my parents' grave. This was the day, exactly 15 years ago when they died in an accident. I placed a bouquet on both.
