  Meira is stricken with anxiety and dread; that’s why she couldn’t do anything but stare at President Delos with her mouth hanging open enough for an insect to fly straight inside. She couldn’t find her voice, and it felt like a large lump got stuck in her throat. Meira couldn’t even voice out her protest when he suddenly uses his handkerchief to wipe off the spilled soup on her hands. He was concentrating so hard while his eyebrows scrunch together that she just couldn’t stop him from doing it. When President Delos is finally done, he pushes her back on her seat while he went directly to the counter to buy something.

  Meira is nervous—no, scratch that she is now a nervous wreck. She’s been standing in front of the office for almost ten minutes, but she couldn’t force herself to take a step inside. This is the first time Meira has felt cold fear and tension slithering inside her system that makes her body grew numb. What she’s feeling right now couldn’t even compare to what she felt when she first attended her job interview. A few years ago, Meira just remembered feeling intimidated because of the towering building built with twenty-four floors and the employees coming in and out of the office wearing expensive-looking suits and dresses.

  When the elevator opened, a young man all decked out in expensive-looking clothes is standing in front of the elevator door. Meira immediately averts her gaze and moves to the side to give him space before she exited the elevator. When he simultaneously went inside, she caught a whiff of the mixed scent of booze, tobacco, musky perfume, and something close to the smell of pines and slightly skunky grass. For a moment, Meira thought it smells familiar, but she couldn’t quite remember where she smelled it before.While trying to rack her brain about the strange but
