There was a light knock on Micah’s office door,
“Come in,” He said,
His secretary walked in,
“It’s Mr. Noah, he had arrived,” She spoke,
“Okay, tell him to wait in the meeting room and bring two cups of coffee—you bring the coffee,” Micah spoke cautiously. The secretary was a bit confused but she nodded.
Micah got up and fixed his tie and glanced at his hair before leaving the room. The meeting room wasn’t far away so it took Micah about a minute to reach the door, Micah gave a final touch to his outfit before entering the room,
It was bright inside the room, and there sat Hunter, wearing his wine red three piece suit, his hair slicked back perfectly. Today he looked a bit different from yesterday, even Micah felt a bit jealous of his aura.
“Hope I didn’t keep you waiting,” Micah spoke up first.
“No, not at all, I just came here,” Hunter replied calmly.
“Sorry about yesterday—“ Micah sincerely apologised.
“No need, it was just an accident,” Hunter replied,
They sat across the table, Micah parted his lips to speak again but Hunter took the lead and picked up his leather bag to pull out a file.
“I have heard that you are not completely satisfied with our background, and I feel like it’s because of my negligence so I have brought you some detailed information about our designers, Inhope you keep it confidential,” Hunter handed over the file to Micah, who stared at Hunter with surprise. ‘How did he know?’.
“You can never be too sure about anything, as a businessman it’s hard to trust so easily,” Micah replied.
“Well said,” Hunter praised him for his words.
Micah opened the file, there were a bunch of papers with a picture pinned to the top. The face was that of a pretty girl with black hair and bark brown eyes, she was a young girl in her early twenties.
“She is very young!” Micah muttered after reading the age that was 22 years.
“Yes she is!” Hunter replied,
“Eryna Liontári,” Micah muttered,
“Once you have completed a background check on her, we can further discuss our launch date and about the brand ambassador,” Hunter stated.
“Hm...okay, let’s do that,” Micah nodded. The meeting went quite smoothly and finally they finalised the terms and conditions of their contract.
“Then we will meet at the launch party,” Hunter held out his hand.
Micah shook his hand and bid farewell to Hunter.

Eryna was having a tough time today, the women of the office kept on giving her murderous looks, while others would try to trip her for some unknown reason.
“What is wrong with everyone today? Have I done something wrong?” Eryna asked herself.
“You don’t know?” Zukey asked with a surprise tone.
“What?”
“The news of you dating the director is in the air,”
“The director? You mean Ayden?” Eryna asked in a puzzled tone.
“Hm…” Zukey nodded, “ Mostly the workers that have worked here for many years now and they have lost their hearts to the director, because of his soft nature, many have fallen for his charms and now that you have appeared out of nowhere, they think you will snatch their ideal away from them.” Zukey had a great amount of information with her, Eryna was shocked but what was more shocking was the rumour about her dating Ayden.
“Are they nuts? How can I date Ayden?” Eryna muttered.
“You aren’t dating him?” Zukey asked in a puzzled tone.
“No!! Why would I? I mean he is a sweet person but that doesn’t mean there is something going on between us,” Eryna strongly rejected her words.
“Hm…” Zukey nodded lightly, “Even though I believe you, but these women will skin you alive for sure,” Zukey spoke cautiously.
“Hah! Why would they? Am I some kind of sacrificial cow? Wait until they mess with me, I will slice them all,” Eryna spoke with a serious yet humorous tone. Zukey understood her meaning but chuckled.
“Aa...Renya?” Zukey spoke with an unsure voice.
“Yes?” Eryna glanced at her and saw her looking at her file.
“Are you sure it’s your first time doing office work?” Zukey asked.
“Y-yes…” Eryna’s heart jumped when she felt like Zukey was getting suspicious of her.
“You are so talented, I mean the details in your project are really admirable,” Zukey’s eyes glittered as she praised her, Eryna could see the friendly admiration in her expressions.
“Haah! Telling you the truth—“
Eryna felt like she was getting Zukey into a complex by not telling her the truth, Even though right now she didn’t have bad meaning behind her words but as they keep on working alongside each other, This could lead to jealousy.
“What happened?” Zukey asked.
“I didn’t do this, I mean someone helped me out with the office work...I know nothing about the office work,” She was ashamed of her doing and wanted to confess so she could feel less guilty.
“That—Did you pay someone to do your work for you? I Elan it’s going to cost you a fortune, and as an intern we don’t earn that much? So are you sure you will manage this?” Zukey questioned, she didn’t seem much bothered by this.
“No, you misunderstood...I didn’t hire anyone, it’s just—my husband-Did it for me,”
‘Gosh! What am I speaking? Did I call Micah my husband? I mean I did call him that to tease him but this is spreading like a plague, I even call him that infront of people...this is scary!!’
“You are married?!!” Zukey jumped in surprise, she had a huge smile on her face,
“Shh!! Calm down,” Eryna pulled her back, “ Do you want everybody to know that?”
“You don’t want people to know?” Zukey tilted her face in confusion.
“I-I just want to keep our relationship to ourselves,” Eryna made up a lie.
“Aww...that’s so sweet—but, of you don’t tell them, they will keep on making rumours about you,” Zukey asked worriedly,
“I think they will forget about it soon.” Eryna brushed off her worries, but little did she know that Ayden and Micah were about to make her office life a very complicated place.
