It's been three weeks ever since Andrew told me the truth about his sister. We kind of went back to the relationship we had before the misunderstanding and things couldn't have been better.

I also got to meet his sister when she came to visit him again one day. Though this time she brought gifts with her to show Andrew a few things she brought from abroad.

What surprised me completely was when she even handed me a gift. It was of two crystal bears holding a red shaped crystal heart in the middle that connected them together.

To say I was thankful of the gift was an understatement because the present was so much more than that to me and I placed it in front of my desk beside my little plant, so I could see it everyday.

Just last Friday, Andrew and I finished a lot of meetings that required us to go there and one of those meetings was with Mrs. Janson.

I made sure to tell Andrew to apologize to her whole heartedly, otherwise there might be a chance he would lose his partnership with her.

But everything went very smoothly and now as Monday rolled around the corner again, I was back to my usual self and felt as energetic as ever to start the week.

I even woke up before my two roomies and cooked breakfast. When the clock hit 8 o'clock sharp, I was out of the door and grabbed my usual cup of coffee on my way to work.

At the lobby downstairs, I greeted Angela with a big smile on my face and gave her a little box full of mini chocolate inside.

She looked at me weirdly but was happy nonetheless and thanked me for the gift. I greeted any coworkers on my way to my desk and smiled at each and every one of them.

When I met Vincent, a guy I met during the last month I was here, in the elevator midway I greeted him with an enthusiastic handshake and then stepped out of it when my stop was there.

By the time Andrew came walking in the office, I was already at my third file. Seeing him come out of the elevator, I immediately stood up and took my tablet with me.

"Good morning, you're here early," he noted and I sort of giggled while I shook it off as if it wasn't a big deal.

He eyed me strangely for a second as I lightly swung from left the right while trying to hide my face from him, still giggling to myself.

"Miss Grace, are you-" I cut him off when I remembered his meeting in ten minutes, "ah! I just remembered! You have a meeting with the managers in a few minutes. Come, we need to go and prepare before it starts."

I grabbed his hand in mine and pulled him with me back to the elevator. Pushing the number thirty-two, I watched as the doors closed and turned around to admire the view.

It didn't take long to arrive in the conference room and now Andrew was holding the meeting.

Standing behind him as he talked and informed the managers of each department of the recent complaints from our customers.

"Our ratings dropped drastically since last month. I want to know what the marketing department has been doing lately because from what I am seeing, you should all be fired and replaced!" He roared and slammed a hand against the table.

Everyone in the room avoided looking in Andrew's direction in fear he will go at them next. I only sucked my lips in as I thought 'ouhhh, someone's mad'.

It was Vincent, manager of the IT department, that broke the silence and had the courage to speak first, "sir, with all due respect, but everyone is doing everything they can," Andrew's head turned towards him with a hard glare in his eyes.
