Discoveries (Faye Yoko)

Part 22.5

Hello! How are you all? A little Friday gift, double update! This chapter is for those who enjoy happy moments!! :D

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the first time in days, Yoko felt a small flame of hope ignite within her. Though the fear was still present, like a lingering shadow whispering that her relationship with Faye could be detrimental to her internship, she now saw a glimmer of possibility on the horizon.

The CEO's reaction had changed everything. His excitement about the connection with Faye meant that Pwan's opinion would no longer carry the same weight as before. It was as if an invisible weight had been lifted from his shoulders, allowing him to breathe more freely.

As she walked through the office hallways, Yoko reflected on how things had taken an unexpected turn. Pwan's constant threat had transformed into an advantage she hadn't even imagined. It was ironic how the very thing Pwan had tried to use against her had become her greatest strength.

But with this new clarity came a wave of guilt that hit her like a tidal wave. She had been cruel to Faye these past few days. She had pushed her away, rejected her, even when Faye was only trying to protect her and show her love. Memories of last night, with the tears and confusion, weighed on her heart.

"I've been so unfair," she whispered to herself, feeling the guilt building up in her chest.

Now he would have to face Faye, explain everything that had happened, and most importantly, apologize for his behavior. It wouldn't be an easy conversation, but it was necessary. Faye deserved more than the cold treatment he had given her, she deserved his honesty and his complete love.

The irony was not lost on her: she had been so concerned with keeping her personal and professional lives separate that she hadn't realized how the two could strengthen each other. Her relationship with Faye, far from being an obstacle, could open doors she didn't even know existed.

As she packed her things to go celebrate with her classmates, Yoko felt a mix of anticipation and nervousness. How would Faye react when she told her about the reunion? Could she forgive her for pushing her away these past few days? Uncertainty gnawed at her, but she also felt a renewed determination.

"I'll do things right this time," she promised herself, closing her bag and getting ready to leave.

The atmosphere was festive in the small restaurant where Yoko and her colleagues had gathered to celebrate. They had overcome the first big challenge of their internship: presenting the project for launch. Laughter and joy filled the air, and for the first time in days, Yoko felt truly relaxed.

However, the calm was short-lived when her colleagues, encouraged by the informal atmosphere, began bombarding her with questions about Faye.

Tom, his eyes shining with curiosity, leaned forward. "You're really dating her? Faye Malisorn?" he asked, still incredulous.

Tan, even more excited, continued: "So you are his secretary! The one who stole his heart! I have read about it in the magazines."

Love, noticing Yoko cringing slightly under the questioning, stepped in. "Hey, guys, let her breathe! You're suffocating her with so many questions."

Yoko silently thanked Love for her intervention, but decided it was time to be honest with her colleagues. "Yes, that's true," she replied with a small smile. "I'm sorry I didn't say it sooner. I wanted you to know me for my work, not my relationship."

"You don't have to apologize," Tom said, more understanding now. "We understand why you kept it a secret."

"And now we will help you so that Pwan doesn't bother you anymore!" Tan added enthusiastically. "Especially now that you are the boss's new favorite."
