"Oh!"
At the sound of the exclamation, I saw Xander turn his head to the side and cover his eyes with his hand.
Brandon stood up straight and said calmly, "Mr. Roulder, haven't you seen people in love before?"
Xander lowered his hand. "I've seen it before, but this is the first time I've seen it done so... intimately."
He turned to me. "Ms. Crown, you really live up to your reputation in the marketing department. You've developed a new style of affection."
I was speechless.
"Are you tired standing there? Others are." Brandon ended Xander's teasing.
Xander slapped his forehead. "Look at me, so shocked that I forgot the main event."
He moved aside and said, "Boss, please."
Boss?
I was startled and then saw a short, plump man with what looked like a seven-month 'pregnant belly' walk in.
Not knowing who this person was, I instinctively looked at Brandon.
The latter was already seated and gently rubbing his lips. I noticed a mark of my lipstick on his fingertips.
"Boss, please take a seat here!" Xander eagerly pulled out the chair at the main seat.
Only then did I remember that Xander had mentioned bringing someone I wanted to meet.
Just as I was realizing this, Xander began the introduction. "Boss, these are the two recruits. This is our Technical Engineering Director, Brandon Howell, and this is our Marketing Director, Madeline Crown."
He turned to us. "Mr. Howell, Ms. Crown, this is our big boss, Mr. Stephen."
This was the big boss?
He was the mysterious boss I had been curious about.
The person in front of me did not match my expectations at all.
