🌕🌙
Waking up today is another blessing thank you God and at the same time special.
Why? Because I've heard that Ari will going to ROSSI EMPIRE office today right after breakfast. And I can't contain my excitement about my plan to come with him and even I didn't ask him yet, I'm positive that he won't say no.
So after I do my business and get the dress that seems so nice and suitable for office work, I didn't waste more time and dressed myself. (A/N: image of her dress at the top)
Looking at my mirror, I grin like a cheshire cat because I look like Mommy. After few minutes of admiring myself and patting myself for being a big girl today, my hand reach for my small bag that Diony gave me and wear my doll shoes that look so cute with my dress.
Once I reach the dining room, my mouth ajar because no one was here yet.
So, am I that early?
Or maybe they are just late?
And I think the answer is the second one.
I pout afterwards because I cannot go back to my room so I decided to visit our Chef, Mr. Hugo and maybe I can chat with him about what he will prepare for us today.
"What ever you like Signora." He said and I chuckle at his response, after I asked him what he will cook for us.
"Okay, so can I have a chocolate crepes filled with strawberry and hot chocolate?"
"Ofcourse, right away my Signora." He said before bowing at me, amusement filled on his voice and I cannot stop myself to giggle. He's so nice like my Daddy and I wish my Daddy is here with us.
Soon, I told Mr. Hugo that I will return to the dining room.
When I open the door, my eyes fall directly to my brothers that already sitting at their chair, while all their gazes were on me.
"Good morning everyone." I said with smile on my lips and started to approach them, one by one.
"Good Morning too my Princess." Eros said before kissing my forehead.
"Good morning Little one." Diony mumbled and burried his face on my neck, sniffing my scent.
"You took a shower little one?"
"Uh huh." And then run to Hady to give him my sweet morning kiss.
"Why did you left your room? I am so worried baby, I though someone have taken you." He told me with hint of worry on his voice.
"I am sorry Hady, I thought you're already here." After I say that, he smile and kiss my cheeks. He said that I look so beautiful today and before he could ask for more, I run to Poly to give him my kiss too.
"A pleasant good morning to you, my favorite sister." He greeted before kissing my cheeks and hug me so tight like I'm a teddy bear.
"I am your only sister, Silly Poly." I told him before my legs run to Ari who has frown on his face.
"Good Morning Ari." I smile at him before I kiss his chin. He let out a soft chuckles before placing me on his lap.

"Goor morning Ms. De Luca, how's your sleep? And you dressed so nice today." His compliments makes me blush but able to tell him that I have a place to go today.
"And where it would be?" He asked while caressing my hair lovingly.
"Uhm, Actually I want to ask you something, can I?" He look at me first before he says 'go ahead'.
"Can I come with you at the Rossi Empire? I've heard that you will visit them today, so can I come?" I plead with my killer puppy dog eyes.
'He cannot say no to me.' I told myself while staring at him. He tried to avoid my gaze by staring at my brothers who has smirk on their faces.
But I won't give up.
"Please?" I asked again, and at this moment I saw how he let out a deep sigh before he speak again.
"Bambina, you have a class with Mrs. Hidalgo today, you cannot go to office if you won't finish your class." He said in soft tone.
And my eyes widened in shock because I forget about that.
I thought I have no class today.
"But Bubba I really want to see the office. Can we go after my class? Please Bubba?" And I heard all my brother let out inaudible words. But I ignore them because I need to convince Ari to let me come with him.
"Ok Bambina, we will go after your class." He said before I kiss him on his cheeks, and I mentally pat my head for job well done.
Soon, our helper came with food along with Mr. Hugo who is holding my breakfast that I requested and place it in front of me. All of them look at it and asked him why only me has it.
"I am sorry Signore but Signora here specially requested this menu as she mentioned that she has office work today." He explain and then take his leave.
I pout my lips because Ari will think that I already made this plan without asking him first.
"Is that so Bambina?" Ari asked with a raised brow.
Here we go.
"Yes" before lowering my gaze and pout.
And I expect that he will be mad but when I look up, he has smile on his face and told us to eat.
I was really shocked, but smile afterwards because he's not mad.
Yes!
I squeal mentally as I start to eat my breakfast with so much enthusiasm because finally I can go to office again!
Finally!
My classes today with Mrs. Hidalgo ended and I am so excited to get out of our study room.
"Goodbye and thank you Mrs. Hidalgo, have a nice day."
"Oh! thank you Luna, you're really the sweetest kid." After she said that I excused myself and rushed outside.
"ARI!" I yelled his name while running across the hallway, to let him know that I am coming.
And to my shock, all of them came out from their room like there was some fire going on.
"What the fudge SELENE? Do you want Hady to die in heart attack!" Hady said dramatically. Holding his chest while looking at me with wide eyes.

"You're going to be the death of us!" Poly stated while Diony and Rosy agreed with him.
And I really feel so guilty, I shouldn't have yelled like that.
"Sorry, I didn't mean too." I told them with sad expression before Ari came to me.
"What happened?" He asked.
"After my class, I called your name so loud because I'm so excited, but I made them scare in return." I explain but after he glanced at them, I become so confused because he just shook his head with smirk.
"No problem Bambina, they are just jealous because you will come to me and they will stay here. So are you ready? Because we need 30-45 minutes ride." He explain. And I think I am good to go, but before that I have to kiss and say goodbye to my other brothers.
After I kissed them all and said goodbye, I could see that they are still sad, but Ari told me that they are just being dramatic, that they are just going to miss me and that's all.
Wow!
I mutter in wonderment because in front of my eyes is an enormous building that really took my breath away.
It's so high!
"Ari where would be our office?"
"At the 40th floor darling." He answered with smile as we enter the building and went straight to the elevator with label 'VIP'. He pushed the button of no.40 and I felt so itchy to push all the button because it looks so exciting.
But maybe Ari can read mind because suddenly, he moved himself in front of me, hiding all the cute buttons from my eyes.
"I can't let you Bambina to do that." He said in serious tone, while I pout my lips. And when he saw my reactions his eyes soften like he regrets what he said.
"Don't be sad Bambina, next time you can do it but not now. The board of directors are already in the office waiting for us and even we are the owners it's very disrespectful to show tardiness, do you understand me Bambina?." And when I heard his reason, my mood changed automatically because I don't want to be like that as I don't want people to hate me. I smile at him and I really appreciate it.
"Thank you for letting me know."
"Of course anything for you Bambina."
Once the we heard the sounds 'ding' Ari hold my hand as we walk towards a room.
And there you go with Mr. Brown who was standing outside that door.
"Hello Mr. Brown." I greet him happily, showing my teeth.
"Oh hello my Dear Selene, please call me Nikolas."
After saying his name and Ari greets him too, we proceed to enter the room and then another room, until finally we reach the room with label 'BOD'.
Mr. Brown open the door for us and we met by 10 pairs of eyes. Six women and four men who stand up from theit sit to greet us.
Ari told them to sit again while he helped me to sit on the chair that has label '' while he sit on the other end with label ' and I made a mental note to ask him later about it.
Soon, they start to introduce themselves to Ari while I look around at the room and noticed how dull and gloomy this place is.
There is no flowering plants and even paintings and It's really depressing. When I look down , there is a plain white paper and pencil in front of me.
Nice!
So, when they are busy talking about the transition in management, I on the other hand started to draw the room and decorate it, like I am planning to put nice flowering plants here and there and some paintings too. After that I will ask Ari if I could change the wall color into something light and soft in the eyes.
Because this room should be eye-pleasing and bright as sunshine!
After I wrote down my plan my eyes look at Ari and realize that they are all looking at me, in awe.
"Sorry to disturb you Artemis, you might be very busy." he said with hint of amusement.
"Yeah, actually Ari, I'm making my plan how to change this room from being so dull and gloomy into pleasant one. I can do that, right?"
"Of course Bambina." He beamed while the rest of the people look at me in astonishment.
Their eyes fixed on me like I'm the most interesting person in the world, until Ari cleared his throat, and it was like all of them came back from their daze and they return to their previous conversation.
Soon, I heard Ari dismissed the meeting
"Let's go Bambina, let's see our office." He told me before he lift my body and placed me on his hip.
"Ari I don't like this room, I mean same as the previous room, this one looks so sad and I will never let you work here!" I said with a pout. There should be flowers in this room!
"Relax Bambina, I promise, I will tell them to do exactly what you want to this room, sounds good?" He said before we take our seat, where he sit on the chair behind the desk while me on the front. But he smile at me before he quickly changed our sits, where I am now the one who sits behind the desk.
"Good Morning Boss Artemis." He playfully said that makes me giggles. Soon we play like I am the boss and he's my client and I love it especially when Ari makes a joke that my laughter erupted throughout the room.
Oh! I love him so much and I hope we will always like this.
"Bambina, I think we need to go home. Are you hungry?"
"Yes."
"Okay so we're going to eat then, so what do you like to eat?" And I told him whatever as I love food and anything from him, I will eat.
"Okay so let's go?" after that we say goodbye first to Mr. Brown who told me to come here again, which I am happy to do in the near future.

Nova Allandis, formerly known as Suna Lee, remembers her previous life and realizes her current life is as the villainess in a fantasy novel she once read. However, as Suna, she was the laziest person with no motivation, possibly attributed to the fact that she didn't go into a major that was her strongest suit. Now that she has a high affinity towards magic and wishes to go into it, will she be able to change her lazy self for the better, or will she go back to being lazy like the villainess in the novel? Can she become a Great Sage and live life happily this time? Note: This is not a "revenge of the villainess" novel, but rather a "rise to fame" novel. A/N: This is just an experimental novel and criticisms are much appreciated, but I'm extremely defensive of my own work and characters. If you are here to put down a novel, please remember, first of all, you are not paying anything to read this, and second of all, authors are humans too.
