- I thought you'd be upset seeing my ex here every day..

- I won't tell you that it's the nicest or easy thing in the world... but if your mother looked for her, I'm sure she's very good at her job and will help the company.

- Not so sure about that.

- Will you calm down princess.- Faye approached Yoko's desk and leaned on it, she brought her right hand to the girl's cheek, who closed her eyes at the contact.

The door suddenly opened and Faye didn't bother to move, but she did take her hand off the young woman. The other girl who had just entered looked down, she was holding some papers.

- I- I'm sorry for coming in suddenly but the receptionist isn't here and I have something to discuss.

- Yoko, you take care of it, I have to talk to the marketing manager urgently. If you want I can bring you a smoothie, I'm going to the first floor..

- No, it's okay. Once I'm done here I'll catch up with you P'Faye.

- Great then.- The woman smiled at the girl and stood up, looked for her iPad and left without looking at either of them on her way out.

Once Faye left the office, while walking down the hall to the reception which was a few meters away, she ran into her new assistant, who was having problems lately.

- Donna are you okay?

- Yes ma'am, I'm sorry I was absent, I needed to go to the bathroom.

- If you're not feeling well, you can take a few days off and I'll find you a replacement.

- As you know, ma'am, I've only been here for a week.

- Don't worry, I have no problem putting two people on different shifts, the work is quite laborious.

- It won't happen again, I promise, my apologies.

- Don't worry, it's okay, tell me if you change your mind though. I promise I won't cut your salary too much if you decide to do half shifts.

- I appreciate it.

- And please call me P'Faye.

- Thank you, P'Faye, I'll keep that in mind.

- Think about it.- The young woman nodded and Faye walked to the elevator with the iPad in her hands.

Meanwhile Marissa was showing some documents to Yoko.

- They are willing to invest now because they know how growing this market is. By the beginning of the year, we can have more than half of the projects ready and also employ many people who otherwise, and because it is the end of the year, would not have so many opportunities.

- That sounds great. Mar, I'm sorry for insulting your family, that wasn't my intention.

- It's okay, I understand your reaction, the project sounds a little crazy but we can make it possible, it's our responsibility, not theirs, they will only invest on it.

- I know... and tell me, how are you been doing?

- Better, if you want to know if I'm going to therapy... I'll tell you, nope! but I'm with a meditation group that's helping me a lot.

- I'm happy for you, I hope you can find happiness.

- Thank you.

The girls shared a smile and walked together towards the elevator, Yoko was a little uncomfortable but more relaxed, she thought that maybe they could hang out in the same space.

- What floor are you going to?

- The first one, with Faye.

- Right, I forgot.

- What about you?

- I'm going with P'Wan to the study room.

- Perfect, I'll leave you there then.

- Thank you.

Once they arrived at Marissa's floor, the girl said goodbye by kissing her on the cheek and thanking her for trusting her and her family. Yoko was a little confused as to why the girl had kissed her cheek out of nowhere. For a moment she thought that maybe she was doing all that to try to get her back. Marissa's words the last time they had contact, echoed in Yoko's mind "don't think I won't fight for you." She reached the first floor and when the doors opened she took a deep breath, there wasn't much she could do and speculating wasn't a good option either, because they had a lot of work to do to get all those projects done in such a short time. She shook her head and went to Faye, when she saw the woman her thoughts faded away.

- My love I was waiting for you, is everything okay?

- Yes babe.

- Perfect, then we can go to the cafe here together to discuss the new teams?

- Faye I thought it would only be one team..

- Love it would be impossible to get all that work done with just one production team.

- But it's too much, the budget..

- Calm down baby, we can handle this.- Faye took her hand and squeezed it. For a moment they forgot that their relationship was "hidden" from the public and they left there as if nothing. The employees of that floor began to spread the gossip and in a matter of hours the gossip reached Ize who was ready to go home.

- Dude, did you hear the news? The CEO is a profiteer and she's sleeping with the daughter of the owners. - Ize, who was gathering her things, managed to hear the conversation of the prop dudes behind the set.

- What the hell are you talking about?!!

- Ma'am, we don't..

- Where did you get that story from?? Now tell me who invented this gossip... they will be out on the street today!

- We have no idea, ma'am, the gossip came to us from human resources.

- Damn people, don't you have enough work? Instead of spreading gossip, why don't you just finish it already. This room should have been free more than half an hour ago!

- Yes, ma'am.

- Finish already and leave!

The woman left, quite angry and took her phone, thought about who to call and before dialing WanWand's number she changed her mind.

Ize arrived at a luxurious bar and there she ordered a drink, she sat down to wait with a sour face, after a while Faye arrived.

- Why did you want to see me that was so urgent?

- Sit down.

- Okay.

A few hours before*

- So this company will help us with the whole issue of the actors and also-

- Babe, my head hurts, I'm not feeling very well.

- Are you okay? Do you want me to take you to a doctor?

- No, I'm fine.. I'm just overwhelmed with everything.

- Should I take you home?

- Our working hours aren't over yet.

- My love, we are kinda done, there's not much we can fix today.

- Okay, but are you sure?

- Yes, we're leaving. I'll give you a massage when we get home, princess.

- Are you going to take care of me?

- I Will baby.

- I like that.- After saying that, Yoko stood up and felt a little dizzy. Faye took her in her arms.

- Honey..

- Calm down, it's just the sugar.

- Why didn't you want the coffee?

- I want to rest, I don't want anything else.

- Okay, let's go now, I'll make you some tea or something at home.- Faye took Yoko by the waist and the girl put her arm around her neck. They headed towards the CEO's car to go back to the apartment that now wasn't just Yoko's because Faye spent almost all her time there.
