LVI: Mr. President, She Got A New Job!
"Since when did you have a lady guard?" Elena Cruz-Lopez, the CEO's elder sister, asked Al in a serious tone.
"About a week ago?" Alphonse forced a smile on his lips as he steps forward, casually hiding his "new bodyguard" behind him.
Unfortunately, his smile doesn't have an effect on her anymore. Ever since she got widowed, she has changed drastically. She's turned into a whole new different person. Even though she's as cold as ice, she still cares for his brother in her own way. Still wearing a long face, Elena asks again, "How come I didn't know about this?"
Al is quick to respond. "I know my big sister is busy... busier than I am so I decided not to interrupt you just to inform you about this matter."
"..." The newly hired bodyguard silently lowers her head, looking on the ground. This is rather an awkward situation for her.
"Uh... this is Lylia Reyes. She's experienced in martial arts and knows how to hold guns. Very reliable." Alponse i

She flinched at first but she managed to recollect her composure soon after."Yes, sir?" Lylia attentively answered, waiting for her boss' next words.He looks straight into her eyes as he leans on his desk. "Would you consider becoming my secretary?""Sorry?" She doubted if she heard it right. Did he just offer her the position of becoming his secretary? Does she even have the qualifications required to become one? She doesn't think so."I said, would you be my secretary?" This time Al's face slowly grows brighter, becoming more like the usual face he wears.Actually, he's thinking about it for a while now. Having her as his bodyguard isn't that bad. In fact, he finds

For four years, Lylia goes to school on the weekends and only works for Alphonse every Saturday. Even so, she still got the same amount of monthly salary. Also, she doesn't have to pay for her tuition since it's Al who's paying for her.After Lylila finished her four-year courses in a university, just like Alphonse hoped for, Lylia Reyes became his "cool" secretary.

And since he refuses to accept payment, she could only express her gratitude by dedicating herself to her job.In the succeeding years of working under him, Lylia star

"I can barely move my fingers. My hands are too cold." Dylan said in a low voice as he watch his fingers slowly folding and unfolding themselves. "Maybe the temperature is too cold for you? Wait, I'll tell the technician to make the aircon's temperature a little higher." Ulysses was about to turn his back and head towards the in-charge of the aircon but Dylan stopped him before he could even take a step away. "Don't! I'm not feeling cold. I'm just nervous." He forced a smile on Ulysses. But truth to be told, the temperature is a bit lower than his body could withstand. He's sensitive to cold after all. May it be in the present or in his previous life. "And you can't do that. The others might complain." "I brought my sweater with me." He took the sweater from his bag and made Dylan wear it. Knowing Vincent by heart, Ulysses assumes that Dylan isn't comfortable with cold temperatures. "It's not that thick but it should help you feel warm." The sweater just fits

"It took us four years of hardship and struggle for us to get up to this point. However, our four years in high school were not just all about our difficulties.
