Inside the conference room, a heated debate over terminating the contract with KN Group was underway. The room was split, and the executives were arguing endlessly.
The man seated at the head of the table looked entirely unbothered, half-listening as he stared at his phone.
*What are you doing?*
Gonzalez typed the words, raised an eyebrow, and then deleted them one by one.
*What do you want for dinner?*
Before hitting send, he decided it felt too forward and erased that too.
Finally, he settled on: *What time do you get off work today?*
He hit send. Seconds ticked by, but there was no reply.
He kept staring at the screen, his frown deepening by the second.
Seeing their boss's dark scowl, the executives exchanged nervous glances, and the volume of their arguing noticeably dropped.
One of the vice presidents spoke up. "Since the start of the year, KN has been making impossible demands, squeezing our profit margins dry. There's no reason we have to stick with them!"
Suddenly, Gonzalez's phone buzzed with a new message.
*Should be home around seven.*
His brow smoothed out instantly, and the fainter hint of a smile touched his lips. *What do you want to eat?*
*That steamed fish you made last time was pretty good.*
*No wonder you were fighting Circe for her dried fish. Just tell me when you want fish from now on.*
*We agreed never to bring that up again.*
*Fine, I won't.* The cold, sharp lines of his face softened with genuine amusement. *I'll make you fish tonight.*
Watching their boss's mood undergo a miraculous turnaround, the other executives quickly scrambled to back up the vice president.
"I agree. We need to suspend our partnership with KN immediately."

Dear author Lucy, may we please have updates. Thank you....
There's a song currently playing via YouTube and TikToc by LowDii "Touch Me Softly" that makes me think of Norah and Xavier (Gonzalez). Please, I'm looking forward to updates. Thank you for your writing....
May we please have updates. Thank you....
As the plot thicken. Adrian is done for and he can't try to control Norah, so he'd probably tattle to Janice who's gone for two weeks. Thank you soooo much for the updates....
These updates were too funny. Thank you so much for the updates....
I forgot to add Amy to the group of pregnant women,since she was the first. Emily and Sylvia better be careful since pregnancy is in the air....
Wow! This is great, both Estelle and Magdalen are pregnant at the same time and I hope that Xavier is Norah neighbor. Thank you for the updates....
