We were coached on the rules of the company, the dos, and don't, we were also assigned our seat numbers in the office. "If you don't understand, you can ask questions now before we go ahead with the next thing in line" the other lady who introduced herself as Ms. Maya said They waited for a little before "There seem to be no questions, let's move to the next agenda," the man with the Britain accent said, Mr. Harry. He walked up to the podium" I'll go straight to the point since I've already introduced myself, I'll be mentioning your names with your assigned managers and Seniors, please make sure you listen clearly and carefully, as I won't repeat the calling more than twice" he said.

"it's time to call off work for the day, take the scripts with you and bring them back tomorrow, make sure you finish it all!" Ms. Rosie said to me in a strict tone. I nodded in understanding, I don't know why she was hell-bent on making me finish the scene scripts but I believed it was for a good course. She didn't tell me to read through a particular character's scene script, She wanted me to read the whole drama and understand everything In detail I stood up from my seat and arranged the scripts making sure everything was set "Goodbye Ms. Rosie," I said and she nodded in response before I walked out of the office. After a long hectic day on my first time at work, I walked out of Gold Fox. I checked the time on my phone and realized it was already after five.

"Hey, get in, I'll drop you off, I'm going your way" I heard the meek voice of Charlotte say to me, she was also going home, just like me.

He was ordered to stay with Axel when all his family had left for Country D two years back, but he was suddenly called upon by the Old master on Saturday night. "Why was he called upon?"

Mirabel's POV Looking up to see where the car horn sounded, I saw Charlotte come down from her car before she walked toward where I stood. She stood by my side and glanced at Stella. "You aren't going home today?" I heard her ask out loud to my hearing, she seemed to have been waiting for me. "I'm going now, let's go," I said, and we walked toward the car, hopping in, we ignored Stella. We hopped in and screeched..., we drove off.We both remained silent in the car till Charlotte suddenly asked "Something is bothering you?", I pulled out of my thoughts when I heard her question. " No no," I said as I shook my head "I'm just tired, and I'm feeling sleepy," I said responding to her question. She chuckled slightly as she said "I guess Manager Rosie is making your day hectic" "You can only imagine," I said and breathed out a puff of air.

"You don't have to," he said as he released my hands from his grip. " Get used to sleeping in the same room with me" I heard him say, I was raging inside, I felt like knocking down his head. How hard was it to just explain to me so I can understand? He always gives me incomplete sentences. "Why should I? Do I need to, and must it be in the same room?" I asked all my questions in one go. "There are a lot of reasons why you should get used to it, dear," he said with a smug smile before he continued "Have I answered your question?" he asked me with a smirk that I badly wanted to pull off from his face. "What the hell? .. can't you just act normal at least once, of course, you haven't answered my question. All you've done is confuse me more.

"Oh Mira, why do you keep on embarrassing the shit out of yourself in his presence," I said almost in a whisper before making my way to the bathroom. I need to be fast so I can arrive at work early. Axel's POV I sniffed in a breath of air as I walked into my study, and closed my eyes, standing in a spot. I stood there for a few minutes before I finally moved and made my way to the bathroom in the study. "Mira..." I called out her name, barely in a whisper, geez now I needed a cold shower this morning. With every passing minute I spend with her, and every single time we are close by just a few inches is becoming more of a torture for me, I badly wanted to kiss those lips intensely, have her body close to mine with her legs wrapped around me. My breath hitched with just the thought of it.***** Mirabel's POV I spent about twenty to thirty minutes in the bathroom before I came out with a towel wrapped around me, from my chest down to my knees. I walked to the closet where he said
