    Mnie traces her eyes on the hand and itnds on thest person she thought she would meet at thepany.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    She smiles brightly at him. “Good morning, Andy.” She greets him warmly. Feeling disappointed that it wasn’t who she thought it was. “What are you doing here by the way?” She asks, carefully releasing her hand from his grip.


    Andy stares at his palm, wondering why she has to pull out her hand like that. “Hey, I never thought I would meet you here.” He smiles, giving her a delightful look. Covering his bitterness with a bright smile that fit his face perfectly.


    “Ahh. Well, yeah, I’m here to meet someone.” Mnie says, maintaining her cool as she moves her gaze to the front. She looks at the entrance to make sure that Mr Gordon’s car is truly out of sight.


    Andy grins in realisation. “Let me guess…” He taps his jaw, pretending to be in thought. “You’re starting work here… As the Gordons.” He grins widely at her.


    Mnie drops her arms in drawback. She doesn’t seem to find meaning in his attitude. “Is there any problem?” Mnie slightly raises her pretty brows. Their gazes meet and she quickly looks away from him.


    Andy shakes his head. “No…” He smiles, brushing his hair to the back. “I never thought Alfred could date again.” He sighs, sneaking his palms into his pant pocket.


    Mnie begins to move toward the building. Andy rushes to catch up with her by slipping his hands off his pocket.


    He takes Mnie’s hand and walks her inside the building. Mnie didn’t say anything, she stayed unwound waiting for him to continue with whatever he was trying to insinuate.


    “What did you mean by what you said?” Mnie asks, her curiosity getting the best of her.


    She is burning with curiosity which intrigued Andy. He wonders if it is true that she is dating ‘Alfred’


    “He was a nice person whose attitude changed overnight after the death of Selena.” He shrugs his shoulders as they step into the elevator.


    “Oh!” Mnie nods, her hair bouncing in the process as it scatters to her face. Andy helped her beat her hair and she thanked him.


    Mnie takes ast sip from her drink before dropping the empty bottle inside the nearest bin. “Speaking of his dead wife, how much did you know about them?” Mnie nudges him to say something but it seems like they are going to end the chapter since Andy looks into his wristwatch.


    The elevator makes a beep sound and Andy turns to Mnie. “Let’s chat over lunch. I will call you.” He says, walking out of the elevator and Mnie watch his back until he is out of sight.


    “Why does every conversation always end up with his dead wife?” She heaves a sigh of distress.


    Well, she is a bit calm after meeting someone she knew at thepany. The beeps that areing from the elevator indicate that she is now on the first floor. The heaviness in her heart bes a little bit noticeable as she walks out of the elevator.


    She meets with a team of guys that are about to enter the elevator. She bows a little to them as she doesn’t know what to do.


    She is a bit nervous and she doesn’t know why.


    “By any chance, are you Mrs Gordon?” One of the guys says, gaping as if he is doubting thedy in front of him.


    “Yes… Yes, I am.” Mnie says and they gasp in surprise.


    “Sorry for not recognising you.” He mumbles. “Wee to Gordon industry.” They utter in unison, they lower their heads which makes Mnie a bit ufortable with their customs.


    “It’s fine, you can wee me without doing that much.” She smiles, tucking her hair behind her ear.


    “I am here to fetch you… Ma’am.” The guy says, he moves away from his friends. “Please follow me.” He says he discards his friends and they nod in response.


    “Please follow me.” He smiles warmly, showing his faded jaw dimple.


    Mnie reciprocated the smile and they both walked to the chairman’s office. She smiles as she remembers what her boss said.


    ‘But this one is cute’


    She gushes at her thoughts as she moves her palm to cover her mouth.


    Minutester (At the conference hall)


    After the chairman (Drew) has already given his speech, he smiles at Mnie and she nods nervously. Her body is ready for whatever post he’s going to bestow her but her soul is not ready to be exposed.


    “So veering around to the purpose of the meeting. I proudly and happily introduce the acting director of the Gordons industry to you Mnie Gordon.” The chairman said and a murmur crams the hall.


    ‘What is this all about?’


    ‘Mnie Gordon?! Never heard of her before


    ‘Since when has she been a part of Gordon?’


    ‘Isn’t Mia the only daughter of the chairman?’


    “Silence!” the chairman scolds and everywhere remains silent once more.


    Mnie nervously stands up from the seat and walks to the front. Apuds wereing from the audience and she rubs her sweaty palm on her skirt before moving her hands forward to the microphone.


    “I am d to be here today. I thank the Chairman, for giving me the chance to serve thepany, and I promise tremendous work from my side.” Mnie says, shing Drew a toothy smile and the congregation puts their hands together for her, including Andy who she’s now seeing sitting beside ady who has her face stuck in her cell phone.


    “So the further introduction would be made after the meeting. Dismiss.” Drew let out and the crew began to stand up from their seats.


    Some move toward Mnie, weing her with a warm gesture. Some greet her for greeting’s sake , especially the managers of other departments.


    And some didn’t even greet her at all. Those that seem like they had their hands full before the meeting. They just bow to Drew and exit the hall.


    Mnie smiles nervously as she watches Andy move from his seat,ing forward to officially wee her to thepany.


    She wonders what he was doing at thepany since he has the brand that he is running, but she decided to brush the thought off.


    “Wee dear,” Drew says, stretching out his palm for Mnie.


    “Ahh! Thank you!” Mnie beams with a smile. She put her palm in his and shook him warmly before taking away her hands.


    “Since I didn’t have a chance to inform you about the position before appointing you, I hope you don’t have any objection towards it?” Drew asks, moving his hand to his hair.


    “I do not have any problem with it, sir. I would be kind enough to not forget the promise I made, sir.” She smiles. “I will carry out my duty diligently and I promise you great work.” She happily bows to him and he pats her shoulder, telling her to drop the formalities.


    “Wee, Mnie.” Andy smiles broadly at her. He stands in front of Drew and gives him a light bow before driving back his attention to Mnie.


    “I will see you more often now.” Andy grins like a child.


    “Sir, we have a problem.” A timid voice says from the back. Halting Andy from whatever thing he is going to gush to Mnie.


    The voice sounds so fearful which makes them look in her direction.


    “Yes, Miss March. What is the problem?” Drew asks, turning around to face thedy that ising their way.


    Mnie mouthed an ‘Oh’ recalling where she had seen her before. She’s thedy that was engrossed in her cell phone earlier during her presentation. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as thedy moved closer to them.


    “I fear we would have to postpone theunching of the new design, sir,” March says with a bit of gloom in her tone. She taps on her phone screen and moves the phone to the front.


    The inquisitive look on their faces didn’t give March a chance to space out as they urge her to spill the issue out to them.


    “Snow Pearl had an ident this morning and she is in Coma as we speak, there is no avable model and we can’t use an outsider specimen for the new design. We need to use our sessful model to facilitate the design.” March says, she fiddles with her shirt as she speaks.


    Hoping they wouldn’t me her for bringing hardship to the new design.


    Drew moves his hand to his hair, pulling it with a force so he could control the anger he is feeling.


    “I heard from her Manager that the ident wasn’t severe. Why would you say she is in Coma?” Andy yells, pulling out his phone from his pants pocket.


    “She can still do the work.” Andy groans as he speaks rudely to the receiver.


    Mnie watches as he removes the phone from his ear. “Uncle, aren’t we going to use someone else?” He asks, his eyebrows meeting as he forces them to glue together.


    “Who do you suggest that we should use?” Drew asks, a little disheartened by the news he just heard. “Every other person is busy with their work, none of them is idle. Who do you now suggest we should give Snow Pearl’s role to?” He sighs sadly.


    Andy moves his gaze to Mnie and she wonders what he is thinking for him to stare at her. She catches a glimpse of the smirk at the corner of his lips and he quickly mps his lips together when he realises that she’s watching him.


    “Let us use Mnie.” He grins which makes Mnie sp her teeth. “Let her model for the new design.” He smiles, giving Drew a charming smile that he can’t take a stand against.


    “Who is that person?” Drew asks with a raise of his right brow.


    Andy motioned his hand to Mnie and she tenses in realisation. She somewhat knows where he is driving and she fears Drew will find meaning in his words.


    “Let our new Director model the new design.” He smiles sweetly at Drew. While watching Mnie from the corner of his eyes.
