The tire of a sleek black Bentley which looks lowkey on the outside screeched in front of the tallest building of Worcester city.

The name Altron Groups, was embedded on top. The black bold "A" with silver lining reflects the Grey family's firm hold in the business arena.

The majestic structure has 150 floors and more than 10,000 employees, which would leave onlookers in awe.

The driver opened the door and the black shiny shoes stepped outside. Mr. Raven dressed up in a deep bluish green suit, buttoned up in the centre with a matching black shirt without any creases. His dark hair gelled at the side and his beard trimmed neatly which gives him a 5 o'clock shade.

Both the male and female employees dazed for the nth time whenever they saw his sublime appearance. They greeted him on the way to which he replied with a firm nod. He entered the elevator which is exclusive for the Grey's.

The female employees sighed thinking about the lucky bee who would get this eye candy flower while the male employees sighed in envy, yet their respect for their CEO skyrocketed day by day. This is not unusual because of his charisma.

'Ding... Floor no 145...' voiced the elevator, he stepped out of it and walked to his cabin. His cabin is quite huge, furnished with a single mahogany desk at the centre and sandal leather sofas at the sides. The desk holds a golden name board that reads 'Mr. Raven Grey, Chief Executive Officer '.

Besides his seat was a massive glass wall where one could view the busy city of Worcester.

He put his coat on the seat, unbuttoned his cufflinks and folded the shirt to his arm's length which shows his veiny and muscular hands.

He moved towards the glass wall and put his hands inside his pockets viewing the whole city of Worcester as if a monarch viewing his empire.

'Knock...knock...knock...'

"Come in," Raven replied in an authoritative tone.

Ian Jasper a fair, meek and innocent personal assistant of Mr. Raven Grey in black suit wearing a skinny black framed glasses who seems to be the same age as Mr. Grey entered the cabin with a tablet PC in his hand.

"Did you find it?" Raven questioned his assistant.

"Yes. Young master went to the same mechanic shed," Ian replied with excitement evident in his voice.

Seeing his excitement Raven narrowed his eyes, "Is the shed so enticing?"

Ian blinked and replied, "Not the shed but the owner's daughter is"

Seeing Raven give him a dead stare, he coughed and answered, "I think our young master took a liking towards Ms. Grace"

"Grace...." he whispered her name and returned back to stare at the city thinking deeply.

On the other side Dexter and Grace sat in the corner seat at Ms. Pakpao's restaurant.

Grace clicked her tongue as she blankly stared at Dexter who is busy shooting hearts at                   Ms. Pakpao.

A waiter came by and asked, " What would you like to order sir?"

"A pack of tissues", Grace replied without looking at the waiter.

Hearing this Dexter came to his senses and turned to look at Grace in bewilderment, "What are you going to do with the tissues?"

Grace replied with annoyance, "To wipe your drool."

Dexter pointed his finger at Grace, "You...You..."

"Siren", hearing the voice, Dexter took back his hand and sat like a tamed cat as he adjusted his ironed shirt and collar. He wiped the corner of his mouth to clean the evident drool.

"Oh dear, how have you been?" Ms. Pakpao asked Grace.

Grace, who has been enjoying the frustrated look on Dexter smirked and turned to Ms. Pakpao and answered, "Excellent."
