An hour ago, Leo had wrapped up his call with Enya and dove into a meeting, promptly forgetting her request

The department's projects had hit some snags, and Morris had been letting everyone know it during the meeting. Steven and Leo felt the brunt of it. The room was so tense you could cut it with a knife. Later, a WhatsApp message from Enya pinged on Leo's phone. Has Cherise arrived?] That was when it hit him-Cherise was coming to drop something off.

Feeling the sudden urgency, Leo straightened and approached Morris. "Mr. Chivers, I need to step out for a sec."

Morris frowned, visibly annoyed. "Can't it wait?"

Concerned about Cherise waiting and Morris's potential anger, Leo pulled out his phone, opened his chat with Enya, and showed it to Morris,

Morris glanced at the phone, looking ready to blow. But then, he bolted upright and rushed out of the meeting room. Leo was quick to follow, leaving Steven and a room of baffled executives behind.

Steven looked around at the executives and let out an awkward laugh. "No clue what's up with Mr. Chivers, but let's just sit tight. I'll go see what's happening" With that, he hurried after Morris.

Exiting the elevator into the grand lobby, Morris spotted Cherise in the corner. With her head down, she was engrossed in at peace that he approached quietly, not wanting to disturb her. her phone. She seemed so

The receptionist and others in the lobby did a double-take at Morris's unexpected arrival and behavior.

Brenda, the receptionist with a bun, gasped, "Mr. Chivers is heading right for my idol! Told you, who can resist her stunning looks?

A passerby muttered, "Another clueless woman is trying to get close to Mr. Chivers. Bet she gets kicked out soon." Another onlooker added, "This is like the umpteenth woman this month coming to Chivers Group for Mr. Chivers. But this one's lucky; she actually gets to see him."

Cecilia said, "I think they know each other. Look, Mr. Chivers is closing in, and your idol is looking up."

Brenda said with a grin, "Oh my, they look perfect together. A match made in heaven! I'm shipping them already!" Meanwhile, Cherise was going over the Betrico University onboarding documents from Trent when she noticed a pair of shiny black leather shoes Looking up, she saw Morris. She smiled with dimples on her face and asked, "You're here? Isn't this the time for your meeting?"

Morris glanced at the seat next to her, sat down, and said, "The meeting can wait. Why didn't you come up to see me?" Cherise replied earnestly, "I don't have an appointment, and your company has its rules. The staff said too many pretty women come to see you, and they were worried about more harassment, so they asked me to wait here," Morris's mood seemed to sink even lower as he thought, Cherise was actually turned away!"

But then Cherise continued, "Bus the receptionists at Chivers Group are really nice. They were just following the rules: They treated me well and even gave me candy." She opened her palm to show Morris the candy and smiled.

Morris, who had been radiating gloom, instantly brightened at Cherise's sweet smile. He called out to Steven and signaled

him to bring the receptionists over.

Steven nodded and called the two receptionists over. The young women, seeing Morris's commanding presence, felt their knees go weak and their confidence waver.

"Oh, no. I'm in trouble. My legs are like jelly. It looks like your idol and Mr. Chivers know each other, and we didn't let her up. She must have complained," Cecilia said, trembling. Though unsure, Brenda insisted, "No, my idol is different from the others. She's not like the rest."

As they approached, before Morris could say anything, Cherise stood up and walked toward them.
