"What deal? Mind to share with me?" Miranda asked with her hawk eyes directed to Rocco, still in gracious manner.

"I didn't ask you, Miranda." Rocco cut the conversation with her, which resulted in Miranda really shut her mouth as casted eyes in her plate.

Nice one, Rocco

"You didn't answer my question, Belle." Rocco stated, demanding an answer.

His statement interrupted my daydreams, stuttering I said, "I saw you went to bed early in the morning so I thought maybe you need more rest."

Rocco didn't extend the conversation, instead he continued eating pancake.

Silent for a while until Rocco stood from chair and prepared to leave. Miranda immediately followed him and lifted his suitcase.

"Thanks for the food." He said gently as walking passing me to front door. I nodded but he already passed me. Miranda followed him hastily and wittingly ignored me.

After they walked away and out of their hearing, maids came near me, "Are you okay miss?" The other maid came to me then stroke my shoulder.

"It's okay, really." I held her hand as thanked for her concern.

"That Miranda girl do more than a secretary should. She has no boundaries, mindlessly stick to young master. The other day young master went abroad, she came and held a party. I had trouble cleaning it in next morning..." The other maids start chatting near me.

I didn't heard all they said. My mind directed to only one word. Secretary.

"Please wait. Didn't I heard secretary, before?"

"Yes, miss. Miranda is Young Master Rocco's secretary. Hadn't you heard it?"

To me she looked like a pet more than secretary.

"Now I have. Thank you. I will take my leave, please continue your activity." I stood from chair, hastily went after Rocco.

"Rocco, wait!" I came, blocking the way and gave my big smile to him.

"What?" He shooed me and kept walking to car that waiting in front porch. Miranda still following from behind as gave belittle look to me.

"You owe me because you didn't help me in the kitchen this morning." I followed him to porch still using my big smile.

"How much do you want?" He reached his wallet

"No! It isn't money. Come here." I pulled his arm so he lowered his head until we were at the same level. And then I purposely met my eyes to Miranda so she could see what I want her to see.

Watch this, witch!

I kissed his right cheek, left cheek, fore head, and nose. In every kiss, I intently made it sound and slowly so she could chew her inner mouth while watching me kissed her boss. The fact that she is just secretary to Rocco lifted my mood, I always thought Miranda is his girlfriend.

"What are you doing? I'm not a kid, Belle." He furrowed his eyebrows, confused with my sudden clingy attitude.

"But, I am!" I went to hug him and slipped my head under his arm. I knew Miranda saw us, so once again I fixed my eyes to Miranda and sticking my tongue out.

Jealous, are we?

"Okay. Enough. Release me now, Anabelle."

"Shall we go now? The meeting will be held soon." Meredith came near us and gave her fake smile. A smile that didn't reach her eyes. I knew she boiled inside, but I really enjoyed that moment. I mean the moment when she get jealous.

"Can't it be delayed any minute, Miss Secretary?" I said it slowly, especially in "secretary". So she knew where her position is.

In response, she widen her eyes, loath were evidence in her eyes.

"No can't do, Belle. Now release me." Rocco sound irritated, he even tried to pulled off my hands from his back.

Why can't you be more cooperative right now, Rocco?

"Okay. But in one condition." I said still hugging him.

"Miranda, wait in the car." Rocco suddenly ordered Miranda, with unwillingly followed his order.

"What?" He looked bored while lifted his arm, checking time.

Rocco then diverted his attention to me. I got full attention from him but that just made me fidgeting more.

"Come back home soon." I released him from my confinement and took two steps backward.

"Jealous, are we? He smirked and took a step forward.

"In your wildest imagination." I said confidently.

"We'll see." He walked pass me towards car.

"Okay then. Safe drive." I walked to open front window said to chauffeur who responded with smile and lifted his hat.

As I bided them good bye, I saw Rocco sat at the back seat while Miranda sat at the front seat of the car. Good grief Miranda didn't sit at the back seat. The car accelerate, leaving me alone in the porch.

Looking the car got out from gate, I got inside and closed the front door. Leaned on the door, my conscious mind told me, You said you give up, Anabelle. Just now, wasn't that form of jealousy?
