“Here’s to our new beautiful manager. Let’s drink tonight until we drop! Let the party started! Cheers!” The eldest, but the most gregarious manager proposed a toast with a prolonged resounding voice.

“Cheers!” Resonating voices were heard in the room followed by an invigorating party sound.

After 3 months, she did party again. At this time, Arabella was happily laughing and Bill didn’t come across her mind. Being with the new good people made her feel satisfied with her process of moving on.

“Hey guys, let’s make a game. Director Zimmer are you in? ” Lizzy with tipsy voice and cheeks flushed. She was a typical shy girl, but with the help of the alcohol, she said it aggressively.

“Hmm… As long as everyone agrees to it, then count me in.” William said in wearing his cute playful expression.

All the managers expressions were stunned. Their director had never been present to any parties like the one they have now. He only showed up in major parties like the company’s anniversary. The fact that he was the one who organized the welcome party for Arabella and seeing them came in together made them think that Arabella had an internal connection with the Director and with that, they couldn’t afford to offend her.

“Ms. Jones, are you in?” The tipsy Lizzy asked Arabella.

“Sure. Let’s play.” Arabella already drank a couple of vodka glasses and she had felt game for everything.

“Okay then. Let’s gather together.” Lizzy started the game. “Since it’s your party Ms. Jones, please hold this bottle.” Lizzy then gave her the empty bottle of champagne. “You have to spin the bottle in the center and you can ask one question to whom the bottle points when it halt spinning. Then that person would do the same.” Lizzy ended her explanation excitedly.

“What about if the person didn’t want to answer the question?” Someone from the group asked.

“Come on guys! Remind me why we are here again? To have fun! So, don’t be such a kill joy.” Lizzy blurted out. “Well, if you choose to be such a pussy, then you have to do our punishment.” Lizzy added naughtily with a blink in her eye. One couldn’t imagine Lizzy’s face when she’s sobered and remembered herself tonight.

Right after Lizzy’s explanation, the real game started. Arabella with the bottle on her hand spun it on the center of big round table.

Everyone was holding their breath until the bottle had stopped. The atmosphere got more intensely thrilled when the bottle had pointed to Director Zimmer. Arabella hadn’t expected the outcome from the her spun. William frowned in disbelief that of all people who gathered around, he was the first chosen by the bottle, but , he let go with a playful smile.

“Woahhh!” The crowd shouted in excitement. Their handsome director had never been opened with his life in the company. They only knew him a little through hearsays.

Before asking her question to William, Arabella took a shot of liquor from her glass. She actually didn’t know what to ask, but she had something on her mind that she was curious about.

“Okay. So, here’s your question. Director Zimmer, are you in a relationship right now? ” Arabella also with the help of the alcohol uttered. As handsome as him, she knew all his staff wanted to know the answer directly from the horse's mouth.

Hearing Arabella’s direct questions, William folded his arms in front of him and held his chin like he was thinking to answer or not while his gaze fixated to Arabella. He knew everyone was all waiting for his answer that made him purposely took his time in not a hurried way to give them more suspense.

“Director Zimmer?” Arabella raised her two hands pointing him and slightly tilted her head on the side to follow-up his answer.

“Okay, sorry for the suspense.” William slightly laughed a little. “I don’t have a girlfriend and I am not into any romantic relationship right now.” He added calmly and raised his head to look at Arabella with a smile on his face.

After hearing William’s answer, some lady managers giggled and others couldn’t help to clap their hands in excitement. They had felt some hope for chance flirting with their undeniably handsome director.

Arabella smiled seeing he co-worker’s reactions. She was satisfied and felt her curiosity had been answered.

Now it was Director William Zimmer turned to spin the bottle. Unexpectedly, it pointed to Arabella. Everyone was dumbfounded. As if the bottle were playing only the two of them. Since Arabella was a new face, her co-workers were also excited to hear something from her.

On the other hand, William was satisfied that the bottle had cooperated with him. Targeting Arabella was merely his intention.

“I think the table had turned.” William smiled at Arabella, who almost spewed out her drinks from her mouth due to her unexpected turn.

“Okay. I’m ready for your question.” She quickly wiped the sides of her mouth with a white tissue and prepared to answer his question.

“Hmm… Since you were curious about my romance. Let me ask you then the same question. Do you happen to have a boyfriend?” William smiled to his cutest, but he’s expecting Arabella’s answer would be to his advantage.

“I don’t have a boyfriend.” Without further ado, Arabella instantly answered. All eyes of men landed on her after hearing her answer. They couldn’t believe such a beautiful as she, was single. They felt suddenly excited to work with her in the same company.

All words uttered by Arabella were like music to William’s ears. His smiled was not leaving his face.
