Chapter 24

"Morning, Anya," greeted Krystal, causing me to look up from my computer screen. Today, Krystal arrived a bit later than usual. She had already informed me.

"Morning, Ma'am."

"Red lipstick really suits you."

Unconsciously, I touched my lips adorned with red matte lipstick. "Really?"

"Serious. It looks good. Bold. Fresh. Beautiful too."

"You've already complimented me twice, Ma'am. I feel uncomfortable, Krystal."

Krystal furrowed her eyebrows. "Why? I'm being honest."

I smiled. Krystal and her straightforwardness. "Thank you, Ma'am. I'm flattered."

"Be positive, Anya. Your aura will spread everywhere." Then, Krystal walked into her office, leaving me with various questions about what she meant by that. Before her figure completely disappeared, she turned back, standing right at the glass door's edge.
