Of Roses & Briefcase

Chapter 8

**Finally! A picture of Myra**
As Salam :) This chapter is quite short, I'm trying to write the story as fast as I could to reach to the important part. So enjoy!

Myra's POV

As I reached the office, Susan greeted me with a sweet smile, such a warm welcome gesture for me on my very first day of work. She walked me towards my workspace and I managed to settle down my stuff as I was carrying a small box that contained some stationaries, sketch books, a metal stationaries holder and a plain pink mug.

I thought of bringing snacks to munch while doing my work and a few 3-in-1 white coffee sachets today but I changed my mind. Too many things to carry, maybe tomorrow.

Something yellowy caught my eyes. There was a note on my keyboard.

~ All of your struggle and hard work during college days has finally paid off. Good luck for your first big role. ~
-R.A-

R.A? Who is R.A?
I don't think I know any one with that initials. Besides, there's no one I can recall that actually works here. Who might it be?

My mind began to wander off, trying to recall some one with that initials. But this brain of mine failed on me. I put aside the note in the drawer of my desk and switched on the computer to get started.

"Hey, Miss Myra." A voice suddenly appeared calling me. I looked up to where the voice was coming from. It was Susan again.

"Come, follow me. Let me introduce you to the workers here and give you a tour around the office. Is now the right time to go?"

"Yeap, now is fine." I stood up and pushed my chair in. We both walked side by side heading to the meeting room. From far I could see everyone was there, waiting in the room.

"Why is everyone here? I thought we're going to each cubicle.. I'm not holding a huge position here in the office" I whispered and elbowed Susan on the waist. It felt odd and bizarre. I grabbed her softly by the arm before entering the room thus giving her the 'I need explanation' look.

We were few steps away from the meeting room's door, luckily it was shut so no one could possibly hear us on the outside. I was back-facing the room, where those eyes trapped in it were staring at me. Uhh it gave me goosebumps.

"Yeah, the boss asked me to gather everyone in the meeting room to introduce you. I'm just following his instructions." She shrugged her shoulders.

"The boss?" I asked.
"Yes, Miss. The boss, Sir Razlan" She replied smiling at me. That smile seemed fishy though.

Wait, what?!
My heart skipped a beat when his name entered my system. At first I couldn't process through what Susan had just told me.

Razlan. Could the note was actually from him? No. It can't be. If so, why would he left me such note? It's not like I meant anything to him anyway. As I remembered, his name is Razlan Amer. R.A are his initials!

No, Myra. You can't be too sure about it, maybe there's someone else who has the same initials as him? But who could it be? Ugh.

As much as I want it to NOT be him, but somehow I couldn't resist myself from wishing it was from him. What have I gotten myself into?

Susan waved her hand to my face. "Umm, shall we go, Miss?"

I woke up from the deep fond hope. Upon realizing the reality, I nodded to her. I know she's just doing her job. So, we started walking back into the room as told.
