Lie To Me novel Chapter 20

"Here." Mikael handed me a cup of coffee. "It's black, don't worry." He added.

"Thanks." I said, a bit laughing.

Well, at least now he remembers what kind of coffee I like. How many times has he told me before that I don't drink. He got upset because of that and I had to explain that I don't like flavored coffee.

It weirded him at first but I understood that not all people have tolerance for sweets, and unfortunately, I was one of those.

"How was it?" I asked him.

I just finished presenting our team’s plan for the company’s next project.

It will be under a well-known brand of bags and will be released for their summer collection.

Expectations are high so the pressure is also high. But I trust my team and I know we did everything we could.

"I like it. I like how you came up with that idea. That's right, it's for summer collection. Most people are traveling that time and it will be more convenient for them with that kind of hand carry bag. No hassle to carry but there are many uses. " He said. "Your team never failed me." He added.

"Thanks. We really did our very best, glad that it's paying off well." I said.

We also kept an eye on it for a few weeks. We made sure that we can give great justice for this project.

He nodded. "It's almost lunch time, let's eat outside." He asked.

I no longer refused, I called out for the team. They are very happy.

We dined in an eat-all-you-can restaurant, occupying a 15-seater long table.

"You should eat a lot, just to gain weight." Mikael said while putting fish fillets on my plate.

"That's my role, bad. Back off." Hans butted in. We invited him too.

"Possessive." Mikael commented.
