Lisa was walking through aisles, with her eyes wandering around. She pushed the trolley around and came to a stop as she picked up a mandarin to check it. She hardly had time to pamper herself and today, she planned to cook herself a feast.

She had a vivid image in her mind of a candlelight dinner with soft music playing in the back. A goblet filled with aromatic sweet red wine in her hand as she would tell herself, 'Lisa, you're doing well! You're doing awesome in life! This is the true luxury!'

She was giggling to herself, even though the idea was still in her head and had yet to become reality. However, it couldn't stop her from being happy with herself. 'One should start from loving oneself!' That's what Lisa learned after working with Roseanne .

Back in the days, she was like a pushover. People would always take advantage of her whether by leaving all the work on her in group assignments or by making her run errands for them. It was the same reason why even her family regarded her differently. She was never the perfect daughter or perfect sister.

However, Roseanne managed to make her realize, it wasn't that people didn't love her. How could they love her when she didn't even love herself? That's why she began to focus on herself and what she wanted! Needless to say, she found loving herself quite fulfilling and that's why Roseanne's position in her heart soared!

*Ring! Ring!*

She was happily humming when her phone rang in her bag. She was bobbing her head as she hummed a happy tune and took the call without looking at the caller id.

"Miss Lisa's about to go on a date, please contact another day! Thank you!"

Saying that, she was about to hang up but before her phone could lower down from her ear, she heard the voice, "How about I stop contacting you altogether?"

Lisa almost fell over when she recognized that voice and even looked at the called id to confirm before cursing her luck. Argh! Why did her boss have to look for her on a Sunday?!

Yes, she did admire Roseanne but there was a limit to that! This boss was a good person but she was a boss who liked to abuse her! Okay, that might be going overboard because Roseanne always paid her for extra work even if she had worked for merely one minute, she would pay her. But she always had to pick the wrong moments to torture her!

"Chief," she called out in a dull voice. "Do you miss me so much that you can't wait for Monday?"

Roseanne didn't bother giving her a reply as she went straight to the point, "The project details you sent me. Did you check it before forwarding it?"

"You asked me to send it to you as soon as I receive it from the Planning Department," said Lisa. "And I did exactly that. I didn't get the time to go through it yet."

"There is plenty of room for improvement here," began Roseanne and continued to state every single thing that needed to be changed. Lisa's upper half body almost sprawled on the handle of the cart. Roseanne had spoken for 15 minutes and there was hardly anything that Lisa paid attention to since she had already started to record the call to make it easier for herself.

Recording things had become a habit after working with a boss who had an exceptional photogenic memory. But she was a normal person and had to find easier ways or more like shortcuts to keep up with her fast pace boss.

"I'll work on it after I get back home. You'll receive the improved version at your table first thing in the morning," replied Lisa when Roseanne stopped talking. "Anything else?"
