บท 15: Traumatized

When the elevator door opened, Andrew and Rachael stepped in first followed by the two employees.

It was a direct elevator which only stopped on the 26th floor.

[26th floor]

When the elevator door opened, a man was impatiently waiting outside.

"Boss—" the man stopped midway when he saw a woman with his boss. He then slowly widened his eyes. Not only was he with a woman, he also had his arms wrapped around her waist.

The startling unexpected scenario made his mind go blank and he completely forgot what he was about to say.

"Get two coffee and some snacks in my office," Andrew instructed his dumbfounded assistant before guiding Rachael towards his office.

As soon as they walked away, the two employees started shooting their questions at the assistant who was too stunned to speak.

"Ben, who is that woman with boss?"

"I think I have seen her somewhere but I really can't put a finger on it. Do you know who she is?" Another employee asked.

"Is she boss' girlfriend?"

Without saying anything, Ben walked away. Though he was still traumatized, he had to obey his boss' order.

[Andrews office]

Andrew let go of her waist only after they entered the office.

Walking towards the couch, he quickly cleared the paper mess. "I had told Ben to keep these papers aside."

Helping him pile the documents, Rachael apologized. "I shouldn't have disturbed you today—"

"That's alright, meetings can wait."

She kept her bag on the couch and sat down.

"So what is it that you want to talk about?"

Hesistenting for a while, she answered, "I wanted to return your coat from yesterday."

"Okay, so where is it?"

"Huh?"

"The coat, where is the coat?" He inquired.

"I—I forgot to bring the coat." She cursed herself, she cursed herself hard. At this point, she had no idea what she was saying or doing.

Raising his brows, he stated, "So you came all the way here to return my coat but you forgot to bring it."

Before she could say anything more dumb, someone knocked at the door.

"Come in."

Ben entered the room with some snacks and coffee. He placed the tray on the table and was about to leave but Andrew asked him to put the files from the couch to his desk.

Ignoring his assistant who was shifting the pile of files from one place to another, Andrew asked Rachael. "I know you have something to say."

"Let's get married."
