After one hour, Karina decided to knock on the doors after got a green light from Ningning. When she heard Winter's voice allowing her to come in from the inside, she slowly push the gigantic door and the first thing she saw was Winter sitting on her office chair like usual.
The younger girl was staring at her, with a happy smile on her face.
Karina freaked out for a second.
"Are you okay, Winter? What happened?", Karina asked as she walked closer to Winter's table. The younger girl still smiling brightly at Karina and Karina can only be confuse with her boss expression.
"Nothing life threatening. Thank you for helping me~", Winter answered with a chuckle, but Karina didn't buy her words.
"I think you should go see a doctor. You're acting weird today", Karina said with her concerning face, but Winter keep smiling at her and Karina felt like her stomach gonna flip.
"I'm fine Karina. Trust me", Winter answered.
Karina didn't fully trust Winter's words, but she decided to continue her mopping job like usual. The incident earlier has stopped Karina from making love with her mop, so she need to continue it now.
Mopping the floor diligently and quietly despite the eyes that still looking at her with a bright smile, Karina was uncomfortable. If only she bring her NTYU sunglasses today, she would put it on Winter to avoid distraction.
Wait- is she... trying to annoy her right now?
"Can you- stop looking at me like that?", Karina pleaded but Winter eyes didn't move from her at all.
"Why? Feeling distracted?", Winter smirked and- oh god. Karina want to facepalm the younger girl's face so bad.
"Yes, obviously. You keep looking at me, with that... smile?", Karina answered.
"I thought you were bored. I'm just trying to help~", now Winter even grinning to Karina and Karina don't know what should she answer. It's true that she was bored if the room was too silent, and she was fine if Winter annoy her with papers, tissues and spilled coffee, but she wasn't fine with Winter looking and smiling at her for only god knows how long.
"Thank you but please don't keep looking. Just throw crumbled papers like you used to, or draw something with your lipsticks on your gigantic window. Looking at my face gonna waste your time Winter".
"Trust me, it wasn't time wasting at all. Oh- talking about drawing...", Winter pulled out her Chanel lipstick from the drawer and stand up from her chair.
Instead from drawing on her favorite window like usual, Winter decided to approach Karina who's now gasping, looking at Winter who's slowly coming closer while still holding tight on her mop.
"I'll draw on you instead~", Winter said as she stand up right in front of stunned Karina and draw a tiny heart beneath her left eyes.
"Winter!", Karina complains.
"That's cute! Let me do another one-", Winter draw another tiny heart under Karina's right eyes. Now the older girl looks like an alive version of camera filter.
"Winter! You're weird today!", Karina said as she pushed Winter's hand away from her face. Her hearts felt like it gonna burst looking at how happy Winter is just by drawing something on her face. Their close distance also make it worse.
"I'm not~ I'm helping to lessen your boredom and I'm enjoying this myself", Winter grin happily even more and Karina freak out for the countless times again.
"What happened to the sick Winter just now? I thought you were sick? But I guessed I'm wrong. You are crazy today!".
Winter laughed, only this time not as sarcastic and not as evil as she did before. Winter laughs looks so pure and innocent and Karina couldn't help from blushing when the younger girl trying to apply the lipstick on Karina's lips.
But Karina didn't bulge and keeping still.
"You know what, Rina?", Winter said when Karina suddenly became quiet. She can only hear Karina's sharp breath, and Winter who was too focus on Karina's lips just now slightly looked up to Karina's face.
"I really meant my words just now. Thank you~", Winter smiled.
....
Karina came out from the room with her hearts running like a 100 km marathon. She slammed the door before headed to Ningning who was now looking at her in shock.
Who's not when they saw a human with real hand drawn filter on their face?
"Wow...", Ningning almost clap her hand in amazement.
"I guess you should send her to mental hospital! She's crazy!", Karina said while pointing her finger to Winter's office doors. Ningning still looking at her in amazement.
"Winter did that?", Ningning asked as she pointed towards the double hearts on Karina's face, and the new colour on her lips.
"Of course she did! I wasn't crazy enough to do this by myself!", Karina scoffed.
Ningning was now clapping her hands, then suddenly gives a thumbs up to Karina, which later send the older girl into deep confusion.
"What's so good about it that you need to give it a thumbs up?"
"It's just a great miracle that Winter did that on you with her favourite untouchable Chanel lipstick...", Ningning still clapping her hands in amazement, and Karina thought Ningning just getting as weird as Winter.
"What??"
"That lipstick. She never use it, nor allowed anyone to touch it. But you-- she just applied it on you! Isn't that amazing?", Ningning said.
"Huh??"
"You won, Karina. You really... won it", Ningning said, still clapping her hands.
Karina thought this is the weirdest day of her entire one month two days working at the MJ's.
Later did she know things gonna get weirder after that.
....
The next day Karina came to work, Ningning greeted her with her warmest smile. When she entered Winter's office, Winter was there standing right next to her gigantic window with her warm smile. Her room was tidy and clean as well.
Things really getting weirder.
"Hi, Rina. Did you have your breakfast?", Winter ask as she aprroaching Karina frozen body in front of the door.
"N-No. Not yet...", Karina answered, stuttering.
"And since when did you start calling me R-Rina?", Karina continued.
The younger girl was now standing right in front of her, only few centimetres away with a smile. Suddenly, Winter circling her arms around Karina's waist, leaving a shock and disaster to Karina's innocent heart.
"What are you--"
"Let's go out and eat something while I'm still not busy~", Winter cut her words while finally undoing the apron's knots behind Karina's waist. Karina sigh heavily in relief when she knew the intention behind Winter's hands around her body just now.
"Me? With you?", Karina asked.
"Yeah, with me. Definitely not with your precious Anti You mop", Winter smirk with her words and Karina could only scoff with her boss lame joke.
"People will get the wrong idea- that's what I'm trying to say, Winter".
"Let them be. I don't care. I am their boss anyway, why I need to be afraid?".
Karina wish she could give a great smack on Winter's forehead. Being a boss doesn't mean you have no dignity and shame.
"Winter. People will- Hey!".
Winter just pulled Karina by the arm, walking out from her room. Ningning who was watching them from her table was weird enough to lift her hands up, cheering for Karina don't know what.
"Cut the talking. Let's eat first~", Winter giggles.
....
The journey towards Winter's car was easier than Karina thought it would be. The thought of Winter might bring her to the lobby, where a driver gonna wait for them and every eyes inside the company will staring and poking a hole into Karina's body was all wrong.
Winter parked her car at the basement. So when they entered the elevator, it was directed straight to the basement. Basement parking are only for high ranking workers, and it was rare to see any single human down here.
As Karina was busy exploring the new area she've never see before, Winter unlocked her car just right in front of the exit door. By Karina's surprise, Winter's car also as humble as their journey just now.
"A KIA Carnival?", Karina asked.
"Why? Did you expected a Mercedes? Audi? Ferrari?", Winter asked back as she opened the passenger door for Karina. Karina didn't realize that gesture and just get in. Winter get inside the driver seat seconds after.
"No-Not like that. It's just... you somehow surprised me", Karina said honestly. Winter just showed her usual smirk before starting the engine and pushing the gas pedal for a move.
"Really? Then, surprise?", Winter said and giggling like a child.
Karina's stomach doing another summer sault today.
