“Not resting well?” thought Alice and remembered the words Megan told her about her memory loss. She suffered it because she had a severe impact on her brain.
“I guess it’s because of that impact that he’s not resting well.” Alice thought, memorizing his pale face with the shadowy hollows well black under his eyes.
“If he’s resting badly, he shouldn’t drink so much coffee, you fool!” cried Alice quietly.
Then Alice went to the supermarket to buy milk and the next day brought it to the company.
When Giuliana saw a glass of milk on the table, thinking that Alice prepared it and said to her gratefully, -Thank you Alice, but I don’t drink milk. You’d better prepare the coffee for Mr. Kennedy.
Embarrassed, Alice told her, -Giuliana, the milk is for him.
She went on to explain, “Yesterday you told me that Mr. Kennedy was not resting well, and in this case, he shouldn’t drink any more coffee. So I buy him milk, well nourishing and calcium supplementing. It is healthy for your health.
Listening to his words, Giuliana was surprised, -How did you dare to change his taste?
-But if he doesn’t rest well….
-You are still young enough to challenge him.
-Why? -Alice asked.
-If he asks for coffee, no one will trade him for another. Do you want to quit your job?
Of course she didn’t want to quit the job, but she was very worried about her health, and it would be worth the risk, just in case he would agree to the change.
Sensing her firmness, Giuliana closed her eyes and asked her, -If I told you I would fire you with your bold act, why do you insist? Do you want to call his attention to it?
Alice was silent.
-I didn’t want to talk about it so seriously, but I advise you to stay lucid. A man like him, I accept that he is beautiful, from a rich family with a good figure and a brain well prepared for commerce, it is not worth it for you to abandon your future by taking a risk with your madness,” said Giuliana.
At last she sighed, -Yes, he is a perfect man. If you insist, do it.
Then Alice took the milk and said, -Okay, I’ll pass it on now.
-But, stop. I advise you not to. Take my advice, even if you feel a lot of affection for him, you have to at least make sure he doesn’t fire you. The longer you stay by his side, the more chance you’ll have to get him,” said Giuliana worried, “Besides, with the few days you’ve been working here, you don’t know him well.
-Giuliana, I think you are too worried,” he explained gently, “I serve him milk only for his health, nothing else.
“What a liar you are!” thought Giuliana.
Alice left with the milk, and Giuliana stood there motionless, sighing.
“I don’t understand, why won’t she listen to me? She’s a good girl, it’s not worth her while to give up her future in such a way. Who does she think she is to change Mr. Kennedy’s taste?” thought Giuliana, “Alas, young girls are like that, very bold. Looks like I’ll have to hire a new assistant, male.”

Meanwhile, Alice knocked on the door with the milk in front of Kennedy’s office.
-Come in,” said Kennedy.
Alice approached him very slowly with an uneasy heart. She put the milk on the table and turned to leave.
No sooner had she walked two steps than his voice passed her back, -What is it?
-My president, it’s the milk, very nourishing,” smiling, Alice stopped and sighed deeply.
He looked at her with cold stares.
Of course he knew it was milk, but what good did it do him?
Alice understood that his words were not explained literally, then she smiled forcibly, -Coffee doesn’t suit you, because it prevents you from sleeping, but milk is good, it helps sleep.
He looked at her with even colder looks, -Then you change my taste and decide for me?
His looks left her shivering even though she knew him well.
He averted his gaze and explained, -It is not that, my lord. I think milk suits you better, nothing more.
Alice lowered her head, visibly nervous.
He looked at her intently Kennedy, remembering her attitude yesterday when she apologized to him as soon as he blamed her.
But today she stood nervously, which piqued his interest.
“How strange she is!” thought Kennedy.
Since the first day he had met her, he could not let her out of his sight, even in his dream she appeared several times, with tears glistening in her eyes.
-Come here,” said Kennedy.
Stunned, she looked at him curiously.
“What does he want?” thinking about it, Alice already reached his forehead without realizing it.
