Chapter 1: Late for Work
"Oh man I'm going to be late for work, AGAIN!!!" Nyx wailed to herself as she scrambled out of bed. Rushing through her morning routine, Nyx quickly chose a simple black dress out of her wardrobe and lightly applied a touch of concealer to hide her dark eye circles. Slipping into her favourite sneakers, she flew out of the house and sped to work in her Veloster.
Nyx avoided eye contact with her work best friend, Revel, who smirked knowingly at her as she crept into the office and slid into her seat as quietly as she could. "So, what is it today? Your bed didn't want to let you leave again?" as the soft 'ping' of the work messenger app sounded on Nyx's computer. "Oh shush, you. Do you have a granola bar, I'm so hungry I could eat a cow right now" Nyx replied while rolling her eyes at Revel.
Revel snorted under his breath as he reached into his stash of granola bars that he secretly kept exclusively for Nyx and tossed one over to her. Nyx flashed him a soft smile of thanks, making his heart skip a beat. "Mmm you're the best Rev, you always have my favourite flavour!" Nyx sent him the message while hungrily gobbling down on the granola bar. "That's because I only buy them for you, you dummy", Revel thought to himself. "That's because you copied me Ny, I liked this flavour first!" He replied and stuck out his tongue at her.

Love Sees Us Through Chapter 2: Lunch Time
Walking side-by-side, Nyx and Revel squabbled endlessly over what to have for lunch. "It's so hot today and you want to have RAMEN???" Nyx said with an exasperated look. "There's no law that says we can't eat ramen when it's hot!" Revel shot back with an equally exasperated look. Stopping in front of their favourite ramen joint, Nyx threw her hands up in defeat and said "Oh FINE, I'll let you win today since I'm in a good mood. But I get to choose tomorrow!" as she ducked under the curtain at the entrance and walked in with Revel trailing behind her, a triumphant look on his face.Looking intently at the menu options, Nyx settled on a classic bone broth ramen, while Revel chose his favourite spicy variant. After placing their order with the waitress, they settled in to wait for their lunch and began discussing the latest that was happening at work. "You're so lucky that the Dev is out for meetings today and didn't catch you coming in late again, or you'd totally be on the receiving en
Love Sees Us Through Chapter 3: 'Dev'
"Ugh, I knew I shouldn't have listened to you and eaten ramen... Now I'm so full that I'm pretty sure I'll fall asleep during the meeting later!" Nyx moaned as she held her stomach while they walked back to the office. Revel laughed at her pitiful expression as he said, "Well no one told you to finish the entire bowl and even ask for extras!", patting her back as he continued, "I'll make you a strong coffee later to wake you up okay? You can't fall asleep in the meeting later, the Dev's going to be there. Unless you have a death wish..."Once Nyx heard that the devilish CEO, whom they nicknamed 'Dev', was going to be part of the meeting, she immediately perked up in delight. "Ooh is he really going to be there? Okay then at least I have something to focus on later!" Nyx joyfully cheered. Revel felt a pang in his heart when he saw how happy she was. He always knew that Nyx had a crush on the CEO, but he still hoped that one day he would be able to win her heart. He rearranged his expre
Love Sees Us Through Chapter 4: Prepare for the Meeting
- Back at Lycon Industries - "Nyx is your report ready for the meeting later? We will need to share updates for the progress of the marketing efforts for the year, and your presentation is the final piece, which makes it the most important part of the whole meeting!" the marketing director, Jean, barked at her. "Revel, make sure that the presentation is complete before 2pm so that I can take a final look before the meeting at 3pm. We absolutely cannot mess this up!" Jean shot at Revel before he turned and left the room.Rolling their eyes, Nyx and Revel turned back to their computers to look at the presentation that they worked on for the past two weeks. "He really thinks he's going to be the next Marketing head? With an attitude like that, no wonder he hasn't gotten a promotion in the past 7 years!" Nyx muttered as she glared at the numbers on her screen. She had poured her heart and soul into this presentation as it was her very first major presentation since joining Lycon Industri
Love Sees Us Through Chapter 5: The Meeting
"... in conclusion, the marketing team recommends that we continue to push out a strong digital campaign to maximise the outreach to the public while keeping within the budget set for the year. Thank you." Nyx concluded her presentation and bowed as the room filled with polite applause for her presentation. "Any questions?" Nyx asked, hoping there wasn't any that she wouldn't be able to answer."For the social content, has this been done alongside the PR efforts for this campaign?" one of the PR directors asked. "Yes, we have been working closely with the PR team to ensure consistent communication fronts between both marketing and PR." Nyx responded. The PR director nodded approvingly and did not comment any further. Silence enveloped the room as Nyx fidgeted nervously, waiting to be released."The budget, this looks like it's more than the amount that I had approved at the beginning of the year." A deep voice from the back of the room said. "Is the numbers accurate?" Nyx froze, as th

"YOU BLOODY IMBECILE, CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT?!?!?!" Jean hollered at Nyx in rage as Nyx cowered in her seat. "I TOLD YOU TO CHECK YOUR NUMBERS A MILLION TIMES, AND YOU STILL GOT IT WRONG!" he screamed. "I-I'm.. S-s-s-o-rry J-J-Jea-n-n..." Nyx stuttered out amidst her tears. "I t-t-thou-gh-t I g-g-got th-th-em r-r-r-ight this t-t-tim-e..." Jean looked at her in frustration and stormed out of the room while Revel sighed, walking over to Nyx and patting her on the back to comfort her."It's okay Nyx, it's not entirely your fault. It's mine too, since I was the one who was checking your numbers. I should have noticed it then." Revel said as Nyx sobbed into his shoulder, her tears soaking into his white shirt. He was puzzled too, since he was very certain that the numbers were the amounts that were given to them by Jean. He made a mental note to check on this matter again later on once Nyx had calmed down.After a few more minutes, Nyx sniffled and lifted her head from Revel's shoulde
Love Sees Us Through Chapter 7: Devin and Alexis
Devin sat in his plush office with a frown on his face. "How dare they show me a proposal that had the wrong numbers? Does the marketing team have a death wish?" he thought to himself as he recalled the shock and terror in Nyx's expression when he pointed out the error earlier. "She's cute, but cute doesn't mean anything in the workplace" he mused as the door opened and Alexis stepped in."Did you really have to be so harsh on that poor girl Devvy?" Alexis demanded as soon as she closed the door behind her. Clicking over to his table with her black stilettos, she stopped and glared at him across his large table. "She was practically about to have a nervous breakdown right there in the meeting room! Couldn't you have aimed your dissatisfaction at her boss, Jean instead? The poor girl's innocent, you know." Alexis said with an exasperated expression. Devin glanced at Alexis in irritation, "Lexy you know I hate that nickname..." he grumbled.Devin and Alexis were childhood friends, havin
Love Sees Us Through Chapter 8: Bold Alexis strikes!
Alexis left Devin's office, deep in thought about the situation. She was sure that this wasn't just a simple mistake, and that there was something else that had caused this situation. Reaching her desk, she logged back into her work computer and noticed that she had an unread message on the work messenger channel.Opening up the app, she glanced at the name on the screen and her heart did a little flip in her chest. "Hi Alexis, it's Revel from the marketing team here. Sorry to trouble you, but I wanted to check with you on..." Revel had privately messaged her for the first time ever! Alexis knew exactly who Revel is, which was easy because he was absolutely the type of man that Alexis went for. Tall, cheerful, smart, yet humble and easy going. He was always ready with a smile for anyone that he met, and he had been Alexis's eyecandy since the day he stepped into Lycon Corporation.She quickly opened his message to read it, "... the marketing budget that Mr Lycon mentioned earlier.

Love Sees Us Through Chapter 9: It's A Date
"Miss Cazal, I would be honoured to accompany you for dinner tonight." The short and sweet response that came back from Revel almost made Alexis jump up from her seat and scream with joy. She stared at the response and read it repeatedly, making sure that she didn't read it wrong. As she was staring at the screen, another message from Revel came in. "However, I would need to head home first and have a change into a fresh set of clothes, I wouldn't want to embarrass you if we get seen outside.."Alexis could sense his nervousness through his messages and giggled to herself before replying: "Sure, the reservation is at 7pm, I'll meet you at the front entrance." She hummed to herself happily as she went back to her work for the rest of the afternoon, peacefully unaware of the gloomy situation that was happening a few steps away in Devin's office.- Meanwhile in Devin's office... -Devin tapped his pen continuously on the table as he groaned in frustration, "For pete's sake, Mother, I'm 2
