Inside of Amy's office.
Amy stared at her assistant who was sleeping in her chair with her face buried on the table.
She rose a brow. She just finished her session with her client which took two hours.
Resting her back against the wall, Amy crossed her arms over her chest. Novie has been a good assistant to her so she decided to let her sleep.
Meanwhile downstairs.
Daniella and Ken had just entered the building where Amy's office was located. Ken was walking behind Daniella who was acting as if she's very familiar with the place.
"Have you been here?" he asked as they waited for the elevator.
Daniella shook her head as she met his eyes, "no, unlike you my brain is perfectly normal," then she turned to her right side where a couple was standing.
Her eyes creased, the couple seemed to be having doubts about whether to go upstairs or not.
"Do you think it's a good idea to meet her now?" the woman whispered to the man next to her.
"She is our daughter, of course, we can see her," the man replied.
Daniella was not always a curious type but she was bored so she decided to listen to them.
"But Novie was angry at us before she left the province and I-" the woman paused when she noticed that Daniella was looking at her.
When Daniella was met with the woman's eyes, her lips curved a smile.
Squinting her eyes, Daniella looked deeper into her eyes.
"Interesting," she murmured.
The elevator door opened before Daniella stepped inside she took a paper and a pen from her bag and wrote down her number.
"Call me when you need legal assistance," she said and handed the paper to the dumbfounded couple next to her.
"What?" the woman asked in confusion.
Daniella smiled. It was so wide making her dimples appeared, "you will need my help one day. Call that number," then she winked at them as the elevator close.
Ken rose a brow Daniella was acting so weird. Even him, he didn't have her number yet she gave it to a strange couple downstairs.
"Why did you give them your number?" he asked when he could no longer hold the confusion in his head.
Daniella elevated her face to look at him, "it's nice to know some royal people Ken."
"Royal?" his brows creased. He didn't pay attention to the couple's face but he was able to notice their clothes and it looked so simple and a bit dirty in his eyes.
"Do you need glasses?" he asked in sarcasm.
Daniella rolled her eyes, "no but you might need to replace your brain."
Hearing that, Ken turned statue for a moment. Then he placed a hand on her hair and messed it up.
"Ugh, Ken! I spent a lot of time brushing my hair. Stop it!"
Ken chuckled in response, definitely enjoying the pissed off look on Daniella's face. When the elevator door opened Daniella pumped a fist on his stomach causing him to take a step back.
"Hey shorty!" Ken yelled.
Novie's shoulders jumped in surprise when a loud voice roared. She rarely heard that voice but she was able to recognize it.
After opening her eyes Novie immediately hid under her table. She was not scared of her boss's client but she did not want him to know that she existed in the building.
Daniella snickered when she noticed the girl who was sleeping on her swivel chair suddenly woke up by Ken's voice and quickly hid under the table.
Before the elevator door could close Ken stepped out and rushed towards Amy's office, leaving Daniella behind.
Putting her palms onto the table, Daniella leaned her body closer.
"Pst," she called out the girl hiding under the table.
"The crazy man is gone. You can come out now," she whispered with a half-grin.
Novie got up and smoothened down her skirt.
"I am not scared of your boyfriend miss. I was just-" Novie paused when she noticed the woman who had round eyes and deep brown irises staring at her.
"You are their kid," Daniella's lips parted a bit when she realized that the couple downstairs were the parents of the girl she's speaking with right now.
"I'm sorry?" Novie's head tilted, "what kid?"
Absently, Daniella nodded, "it is definitely you. Your parents are downstairs by the way."
Novie blinked. A little confused as she knew that it's impossible, her parents did not know where she was.
"I am Daniella," Novie was surprised when the woman suddenly stretched a hand and introduced herself.
"Novie," she smiled at her, "I am Novie McSalter."
Daniella narrowed her eyes as she looked deeply into Novie's memory.
"ARE YOU COMING?"
When the familiar voice sounded, Novie pulled her hand from Daniella and hid under the table and as she did the door at Amy's office opened.
Ken impatiently glared at Daniella.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
Daniella's face wrinkled, "I was talking to," from looking at Ken she turned to Novie but the woman suddenly disappeared. Her face screwed up deeply.
Ken shook his head, there was no one around, "you have completely lost your mind, come inside quick!" he ordered and closed the door.
Daniella pouted her lips. She's about to take a step when Novie suddenly appeared.
Surprised by her sudden appearance, Daniella placed a hand on her chest.
"Stop scaring me!" she blurted as her heart pulsated uncontrollably.
Novie smiled shyly, "I am sorry to scare you Daniella but Amy told me to avoid being seen by Mr. Chu."
Curiosity rushed over Daniella upon hearing it, "why is that?"
Novie folded her hands together and looked down, "there was an incident with the previous assistant so-"
"ARE YOU COMING OR NOT?"
Another roar sounded from the other room which caused Daniella's eyes to roll.
"SHUT UP KEN CHU!" Daniella shouted back.
Then the other room became quiet. Daniella smiled at Novie.
"if he shouts at you, shout back. Some men need to be reminded that we are not lower than them," Daniella's voice was low and soft, "if you and your family need assistance, or protection, call me."
Novie was confused but she accepted the paper with Daniella's phone number.
