"How is the contract preparation going Ms Tucker?"

"Almost done sir." Fiona laid the next document that needed Julius' signature on his work desk, taking it back after he had signed it. "Am on the final stage, will be done by end of work hours today."

"Good, you know what to do, forward it so I can go over and make whatever corrections. By Monday, we need to finalize the land possession issue by signing that contract. Is that okay Ms Tucker?"

"Perfect sir." She repeatedly laid other documents for the boss' endorsement. "And, I've made the call. She should be here soon."

"Hmm," Julius nods. "How is it going on there? Any feedback from..." dismissing his own question he continued rather. "Have you done what I said?"

Fiona smiled and wondered why he didn't finish his statement. "Yes I have and you should be getting reports soon but I can do it if you don't want that anymore."

"Let it be," he said in a baritone. "And make haste with the contract then get Mrs Hank to finalize the next meeting arrangement with Roaring Blues. Tell her I want no slacking off during duty, quick and positive results only."

"Noted sir." She then placed a small envelope on his desk after he was done signing the last document. "So, the Alpha Charity Group sent in your invite for the fourth charity edition slated for...."

Julius' sharp glare that stared up at her made her stop talking. "Again? What was the instruction Ms Tucker?"

"To reject the invitation which I did but they had to send in this one earlier today saying it has Ms Julia's approval as she will be checking to see if it was delivered to you this time," she explained in a urgent breath of fear. "I wouldn't dare disobey her, so I have no choice. Pardon me sir."

Breathing inwardly to calm himself he tapped on the invite. "Notify them I won't be attending this," his voice held distaste and a bit of aggression. "With her approval or not and get it out of my sight."

"But, this will make it the fourth time in a row that you will be rejecting the offer. Sir, if you reconsider this, I think there is a..." Julius raised brow made her keep quite. Again, cutting me off.

"I'm not going for whatever reason," she was starting to irritate him. "How dare you lecture me? It's one of two, either I'm the boss here or you are the employee...," he stopped and groaned out, feeling the vein in his neck pop. She had successfully confused him today.

"Sorry boss," Fiona wanted to laugh at him but she dares not.

"Just get this off my table and do as I said," he seethes. "No charity events, not now, not ever."

"I think that won't be possible Mr Smith, you should leave the invite on the table," Mira's pleasant voice slashed into the room. "Good timing, I'm here to talk about that and you called for me too."

If this keeps going, he will really burst at her. "Ms Tucker can you get it the hell out of here, I'm really holding my breath for you." He looked up and found Mira walking into his office.

That got him to shut up and it just registered that she was the one, it was her voice and she's the only one who says his name sweetly like that.

Sweetly my foot! He huffed, trying to act unaffected by it. But then he caught her stepping and the way she slowly swayed into his office.
