Every head turned as the lady walked down the office hall, those hidden behind doors, poked their heads out to get a glimpse of the lady in red heels. Her pointy heels connecting with the tiled floor makes sounds that gladden their souls and their lips involuntary twisted in a smile so wide. No doubt the lady is beautiful, some even said she is more beautiful than their Boss's wife. The woman ignored their grins as she walked down to the elevator. Eyes still followed her until the doors pulled apart and she disappeared in the safety of that four-cornered mirrored space. Rumors had it that she sleeps with the Boss but it has never been confirmed. Even the most curious journalists looking to make names for themselves once believed in those rumors but as the months went by, nothing was found that wasn't ordinary with the Boss and the beautiful woman, even the unnecessary gifts that the Boss is always found gifting her wasn't suspicious or evident enough. It beats every man how such a woman would still remain single. If she wasn't sleeping with the Boss, then who is? The unanswered question in many minds. There was a time a fresh breeze of rumor blew in four years ago when the Boss bonded with a certain boy, but as time grew it was made clear to the public that the Boss just loved the boy and had just taken him as his own family and that was why on the day the boy had died, the Boss had cried like a baby for weeks and had mourned the lost boy for months. No one has ever made themselves known to be having an affair with the Big Man upstairs and people were starting to find it very hard to believe that such a man is not involved in any form of extramarital affairs. With ears down to the earth and eyes wide and open as a hawk, they all watched and listened.

Someday, maybe someday a rumor that might just happen to be true will be discovered.

Rachel breathed a sigh of relief once she found herself in the elevator, the lustful stares she gets each time never gets old, initially, she had enjoyed it but now she doesn't find it appealing at all. The elevator beeped and the doors pulled apart to expose an exceptional hallway designed by the best of the best, the Bosses office, the BoardRoom, and the Bosses special inner chambers are all found on the twenty-first floor even a Bar that holds the Bosses best wines and liquor ever made. As she walked down the hallway to the door she needed, a sudden joy filled her heart at the news she was about breaking to the man. She knows how happy he would be hearing such news most especially after a long boring day sitting at the office signing papers and contracts or having just spent hours with the Board members on a boring old meeting. She knocked once on the door and pushed it open.

The handsome man facing the glass walls smiled, his back to the door. He knows who had just entered and he was happy she was there. 

"Hello, Elijah." Her soft voice greeted and the man turned around facing her, a glass of wine in one hand.

"You have no idea how delighted I am seeing you, woman." The man spoke with that warm voice that softens the heart of the strongest and the most stubborn of businessmen.

Rachel walked over to him and gave him a warm hug before kissing his lips briefly and then she made herself comfortable on the sofa with one leg crossed on the other. 

Elijah put his glass down on the table and then went to get another to pour the lady a drink. 

"Milady." He said while offering her the glass. Rachel took it from him and returned his kind gesture with a beautiful smile. "So, any news?" The man asked going back to his own chair. 

"Billy has accepted a sitter." She told him and just as she had thought, the man's eyes had lightened up and a huge smile plastered on his face. 

"Who is this person? What company do they come from? What is their name? So that I may send my regards." The happy man inquired happily.
