Darling, only I can be your man

　　As soon as Ariana was about to enter the Secretary room, she heard the voices of three of her co-workers. “Did you see Ariana in the canteen at lunch?”

　　“No, I didn’t and she hasn't come back to the office as yet.”

　　“How dare her, lunch will be up in the next three minutes and she hasn't come back as yet. Ariana don’t blame me for reporting you to the President, you might go faster than you came.” That voice was Janice Lee and then there was loud laughter from Laurie Michaels and Phoebe Watson.

　　“Janice, you don’t have to be so hard on her. It is her first day and you already made her your enemy.” Michelle Sinclair said with a pleading voice.

　　“Shut up!”        

　　“Are you taking the new girl side?”

　　“How much is she paying you to defend her?”

　　They all attacked her at once. Michelle was the last one that came to the department before Ariana, she suffered a lot under their hands but at least they never made her clean the office. They usually send her on errands or make her complete their workloads and it seems they want to take advantage of Ariana as well.

　　Before Michelle could respond, Ariana walked in with a smile on her face a couple seconds before duty. Janice suddenly got angry, “Why are you coming back at this time?”

　　“I am on time. Is it not 2pm?” Janice looked at the clock on the wall and could not refute it. ‘You got away this time but next time let us see how lucky you are’.

　　“I don’t think you are finished with your cleaning, please continue.” Ariana did not respond but she went ahead to resume her cleaning duties. She knew Janice was doing it on purpose but she doesn’t know why. Ariana is not easily bullied but she is better at ignoring people and striking them down when necessary.

　　When she was in the storage room, Michelle came in. “Ariana, don’t pay too much attention to what they are saying. Just do your job well and you will be okay.” Ariana could see the sincerity in her eyes.
