Zayn's Birthday Party.

MAISIE

As I made my way back to the office, the stillness of the workplace enveloped me, a sharp contrast to the usual hustle and bustle. Before saying goodbye to Mei Lin and the others, I paused to knock on the door, making sure my return was announced.

“Come in,” Evelyn said.

I pushed open the door and scanned my surroundings to make sure that we were alone before I walked in. The office had been rearranged to its tidy state, spotless without a single blemish as my boss sat behind the desk. I greeted her, “Good day, Boss. I just want to apologize about what happened earlier-”

“Just promise me that you will keep your mouth shut.” Evelyn cut in. “I mean, you are not allowed to tell anyone about what has been happening in this office since you came here. If you dare spill the beans, I will fire you immediately.”

I blinked twice, trying to process her words as she stared at me with a stern expression. It finally occurred to me that she was aware that her mate was keeping an eye on her.
