Melody POV

It's been three days since I came back to DReam and two days since I last saw my boss. After the crazy meeting with peppy, he left for a meeting in France, and ever since then, I haven't seen him. It was not as if I missed him or something but his presence made me feel calm and now that he wasn't around, I felt something missing in me.

On my way to work that morning, I had a feeling that something was going to happen, and before I thought, something did happen and it wasn't what I was expecting.

My boss was back and there was an impromptu meeting.

"Have you heard?" Anita came to my desk as soon as I came to the office that morning.

"What have I heard?" I questioned her back.

She looked to her left and right before answering my question.

"There is a meeting and I think it concerning the new Vice President of this company."

"Really?" I asked and she nodded.

"Yeah, and from what I heard, it seems the person is the CEO's little brother."

"The boss's younger brother? How did you get this information?"

Anita looked left and right again before replying to him.

"I heard it from Lindsey and Cassandra." She said.

I looked up at the CEO's office and couldn't see his office through the transparent glass, I wondered what he was doing inside his office.

"So when is the meeting?" I asked Anita who was still standing by my desk.

"In five minutes, " she replied.

"Five minutes?" I asked myself thoughtfully as I stared at the boss's door. "Why didn't he tell me anything?"

"I should go get prepared for the meeting, " Anita's voice broke me from my thoughtless thoughts. " I'll see you in the meeting, " she said and walked away from my desk into the CEO's department office.

When she left, I stood up from my chair and thought about why my boss didn't tell me anything about the meeting.

"He was gone for two days!" I didn't realize that I have said that aloud.

"Who were you talking to?" My boss's hoarse voice resounded in my ears.

When and how did he get here?

"I asked you something melody or have you gone deaf for two days that I left."

I cleared my throat before raising my head to face him.

"Hello sir, welcome back from your trip. I heard there is a meeting today and it is so surprising that I had to find out from another staff," I said with a fake smile on my face. "Some people just feel too important that they find it hard to tell their assistant anything," I smirked as he realizes that I was talking to him.

" what are you getting at melody? It was a personal trip and I felt it doesn't concern you. " he pointed out.

"Really?" I scoffed and place my hands on my waist. "None of my business, " I scoffed again and shook my head. "Since whatever you do is none of my business, I'll like it if you could excuse me because I have a meeting to prepare for," I told him and made sure I bumped my shoulders into his.
