Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 42 - 42. Forget Something

"Is it okay to use this elevator?" asked Anna curiously. She was just afraid that later she would meet some employees.

"Don't worry, this elevator is meant for us cleaning workers."

"Eh? Really?" Anna is amazed, even workers like them are equipped with this kind of facility.

"Before this, where did you work?" asked Mino.

Anna just shook her head.

"Don't tell me this is your first job?"

"In the last four years, this is indeed my first time working."

"Oh really?"

Anna nodded again in response.

"Then how about we celebrate after work?" asked Mino enthusiastically.

"No need, thanks. I'll be back home," replied Anna.

"Hmm, what a shame."

"Okay. Maybe next time," she added.

And after that they were silent. The elevator they were in took them to the seventh floor. Until the elevator opened there was no more talking, only silence.

They then started cleaning some areas there, only a few employees were seen passing by, maybe because it was working hours?

Several cleaners who were the same as she were already there. Some of them greeted Mino and Anna while others looked nonchalant.

.

.

By now, it was already afternoon. Some of the employees had already come back, and only a few were left, and they also seemed to be following the others soon, go home.

Glancing at her watch, it was already a few minutes past five. However, Anna and the other cleaners are not ready to go home yet. They are still doing with their work.

This is one of the risks of a janitor, arriving early and leaving late. All of that just so that the cleanliness of the building is maintained.

Until a few minutes passed, Anna had finished her work. It was very quiet all around, only a few employees could be seen who could only be counted on the fingers.

Mino waited for Anna at the exit. He had been standing there for almost ten minutes and Anna had not come out.

"What happened to her?" Mino's monologue turned to enter the tall building, intending to catch up with Anna. Even though he didn't say he would wait for her, it was a good thing to have a friend on the way home. Yes, previously, Anna told Mino a little about her. Including the address where she lives.

"What happened?" Mino asked when he saw the woman looking dazed in front of Miss Lidya's room.

"Ugh, that's my bag. I forgot where to put it."

"Eh? Didn't you just not wear a bag?" asked Mino.

"Is that true?" asked Anna again to make sure.

"I saw you coming, Anna. You didn't use a bag before," Mino replied.

Anna was silent for a moment, she clearly remembered that she was carrying a bag. But where did she put it? At Mrs. Clarissa's house? No, no. Because after that, she still took money from there to pay Taxi. Then where?

Anna tried to remember.

"Oh no." Her expression suddenly changed.

"Why? What happened?" asked Mino.

"My bag..."

"Yeah, what's wrong with your bag? You didn't bring a bag before."

"No, Mino. I brought it and forgot to pick it up in the Leader's room."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"My bag, my bag is in the leader's room," said Anna with a sad look on her face.

"What should I do now?" asked Anna again.

"What do you want to say? Your bag? The Leader's Room?"

Anna nodded, then told the reason why she came late this morning.

"Hmm, so you're not late because of personal matters? But a request from Mrs. Clarissa?"

Anna nodded. "Please tell me, what should I do? About this time, is Leader home yet?" she asked.

"Don't tell me you want to take it now?"

"I have to, Mino. It's been with me for years."

"Huh?" Mino's brow furrowed.

"It's just a bag, Anna. Leave it alone. Maybe Mrs. Clarissa threw it in the trash anyway?" Mino replied.

Instantly Anna collapsed to the floor, "Maybe what you said is true, just a bag and it's very old. Trash like that can't possibly last long in that room," Anna muttered.

Mino just nodded as he took a deep breath, "Do you have anything valuable there?" Mino asked, equating his position with the woman.

"My mother's photo."

Mino was silent for a moment, just a moment ago Anna told the outline of her life. Including her parents who have passed away. And seeing Anna's current condition, Mino's heart was touched, if it was related to parents, he couldn't say anything else. Suddenly he cursed himself about everything he said before.

"As far as I know, usually employees won't go home if their boss is still in the office," Mino said after a few minutes of silence.

"Wanna check it out? Who knows your bag is still there?" he added, feeling guilty. Though he was not sure what he was saying.

Hearing Mino, Anna took a deep breath then got up again, "Okay. I'll check it out."

"I'm with you."

"No need, Mino. What time is it, you should go home," replied Anna.

"Does not matter."

"Hhhmm, then it's up to you," said Anna then walked towards the stairs she had walked this morning.

"Where are you going?" Mino asked when he saw where Anna was walking.

"To the fifth floor."

"By climbing the stairs?"

Anna nodded in agreement.

"Hah, no kidding Anna. There's an elevator over there. We can get to the fifth floor using the elevator."

"But…"

"Believe me," said Mino, cutting Anna's words, glancing at the watch on his wrist, he continued, "At this time, usually all employees have gone home. So there's no need to worry about anything."

"Besides, if you're afraid to meet them, we can use the elevator over there," he said again, pointing to the elevator that was reserved for cleaning staff.

Anna paused for a moment, sometimes she forgot about the existence of that elevator.

"Okay, let's use the elevator over there," she said then turned and walked towards the elevator she had used many times throughout the day.

Mino just smiled while shaking his head at the woman's behavior.

It didn't take long for them to reach the fifth floor. The atmosphere around is very quiet, there are many rooms there. Most of them are only in the form of meeting rooms, presentation rooms, meeting rooms, and similar rooms. The rest is only the secretary's room and the leader's room. The fifth floor was deliberately designed that way.

Walking down the corridor that is on the edge and directly adjacent to the glass of the building, so that anyone who passes through that place will be presented with a view of the outside of the building from a height.
