"Ouch!"
At that moment, I saw Grant twist his head to one side, shielding his eyes with his hand.
Ernest stood up straight, his voice cool and detached, "Has Mr. Smith lived under a rock? Never seen people in love before?"
Grant lowered his hand, "Seen it, sure, but never anything quite this... intense."
He then glanced at me, "Our very own Felicia from Marketing, always innovating."
I was speechless.
"Tired of standing? We're all tired here," Ernest quipped, effectively shutting Grant up.
Grant slapped his forehead, "Look at me, all flustered and forgetting the guest of honor."
He stepped aside, gesturing grandly, "After you, boss."
Boss?!
I was taken aback, only to see a man, resembling a pumpkin more than anything, with a belly that screamed "seven months pregnant," walk in.
I had no idea who this man was, instinctively turning to Ernest for clues.
He had already taken his seat, casually touching his lips where my lipstick mark lingered on his finger.
"Boss, right this way!" Grant hurried over, pulling out a chair at the head of the table with exaggerated courtesy.
It then hit me. This was the person Grant had gone out to meet, the one he said I wanted to see.
By the time I realized, Grant was already doing introductions, "Boss, meet the new dynamic duo of the company. This is our Technical Director Ernest, and this is Felicia, our Head of Marketing."
He then looked at Ernest and me, "Mr. Collins, Director Hudson, meet our big boss, Mr. Collins."
This is the big boss?!
The mysterious CEO I'd been so curious about?!
The person before me didn't match up at all.
