Smith pushed the office door open and stepped aside.

“Please,” he said softly, “you may go in, sir.

Moonshine crossed the threshold.

At first, there was only darkness thick, suffocating until a single dim light burned at the far end of the room. A sharp click followed, and another light flickered on, the sound echoing unnaturally in the silence.

“Good evening, Mr. Calvin,” Moonshine greeted, his voice betraying him with a faint tremor.

The fragile glow finally revealed Calvin’s face. His striki

    Pheebs’ soft laughter chimed through the room as she scrolled on her phone, her smile bright and smug.“Didn’t I tell you?” she said sweetly, tilting the screen toward them. “The internet is buzzing with Sabrina and Xander’s photos. Four days just four days and look at the traffic. Look at the sales both companies are cashing in on.”Jovita let out a low whistle, arms folding as she leaned back. “Especially the surfboard shots. Mr. Calvin really knows his way around showbiz.” She shook her head, half in awe. “I was skeptical at first, thought it was just another trend but jeez, the ratings shot through the roof.”“That’s good,” Cleopatra said calmly, though a faint curve of satisfaction touched her lips. “At least the company’s reputation will be set high.”Then her phone vibrated.The screen lit up.Alvin: [Come to work now. Anthony is in town. I don’t know exactly when he’s going to come to the club.]The air around Cleopatra seemed to tighten. Her fingers stilled. Whatever ease she

    The sun hovered just above the horizon, setting the waves ablaze with molten gold. The beach was alive with the distant roar of the surf and the soft scuff of sand beneath feet.Sabrina, clad in sleek swim pants, waded lightly into the shallow water. The breeze played with her hair, tossing a few strands across her sun-kissed cheeks. Each movement was effortless yet precise, as if she were part of the ocean itself.Xander stood a few meters away in swim shorts, camera poised, eyes scanning every detail. He caught the way the light glinted off the rippling water, the way Sabrina’s silhouette shifted with each step, and he moved with a quiet intensity, capturing the moment frame by frame.“Hold that,” he murmured, voice almost lost to the crashing waves. Sabrina froze, letting the wind sculpt her posture, her gaze fixed somewhere beyond the horizon.A sudden gust lifted the corner of her sarong, twirling it dramatically before it settled back against her leg. Xander’s camera clicked rap

A sharp click followed, and another light flickered on, the sound echoing unnaturally in the silence.“Good evening, Mr. Calvin,” Moonshine greeted, his voice betraying him with a faint tremor.The fragile glow finally revealed Calvin’s face. His striking features emerged from the shadows, sharp and composed, his blue eyes glinting like distant stars cold, watchful, unreadable.“What award did you win again?” Calvin asked, his tone smooth, almost idle.“The International Photography Award,” Moonshine replied, swallowing hard.A pause stretched between them.“Good,” Calvin said at last. “How did you get it?”Moonshine stiffened.“Pardon?” he echoed, confusion flashing across his face as unease crept deeper into his chest.“Did you earn it throu

    “How’s work going?” Calvin’s voice cut through the air, sharp and deliberate, his gaze fixed like a hawk on Cleopatra seated beside him.“So far good,” Katie murmured from across Cleopatra, her tone casual, almost distant.Calvin leaned forward, the shadows in his eyes deepening, a quiet pressure pressing down like the weight of a storm about to break. “I know.”Katie startled, glancing at Cleopatra with a sheepish smile. “Oops… sorry. Calvin’s asking how work’s going today.”Cleopatra’s lips curved into a serene, almost radiant smile. “Very well,” she replied, her voice calm yet carrying a quiet confidence that seemed to illuminate the room.Moonshine, tired of the subtle undercurrents and quiet tension, finally stood. His eyes swept the room until they landed on Cleopatra, seated gracefully on the sofa. Without hesitation, he strode over.“Hi, Mr. Calvin,” he greeted, bowing slightly in respect.Calvin’s response was measured, deep, and steady. “Hi, Moonshine.”The air seemed to thr

    Without warning, Joss burst through the office door.His footsteps struck the floor like urgent drumbeats chasing a rising storm.“Girls! Have you seen the news?” His voice was sharp, breathless with disbelief.“Yeah,” they answered in unison, their tones carrying a strange blend of amusement and reluctant resignation.Joss froze mid-step.The words hit him like a sudden blow.He had wanted to be the one to reveal the story to control the timing of the truth but the news had already escaped his grasp, moving faster than his carefully planned entrance.Frustration flickered across his face for a brief moment before vanishing beneath practiced composure.“The CEO is really the real deal. I’ve never seen him with a woman before, let alone having dinner with one,” he said, shock barely contained in his voice as he ran a hand through his hair.Then he straightened his shoulders, forcing calm back into his expression.“Come on. We need to go to the workshop. There are deliveries to sort im

    She leaned slightly forward, taking in the tray of appetizers as it was set before them. The fruit was arranged with a meticulous, almost intimate artistry, each piece vibrant and inviting. She let her fingers hover just above the platter, as if feeling the care in its arrangement. “Look at this exquisite,” she murmured, her gaze flicking up to him. “Just like the two of us.” Calvin’s smirk returned, teasing but gentle. “Careful you might make me forget my manners and reach for your hand across the table.” “Try it, and you’ll regret not letting me do the same.” Her eyes glimmered with a spark, a subtle challenge that sent a thrill through him. “I’m just joking, you know. I wouldn’t do that,” he replied, though his tone carried an unspoken tension. “How about I don’t want it to be a joke, Cal,” she murmured, her voice low and sultry, the kind that lingered like a whisper in the bedroom. Their eyes locked, the world around them fading into the soft glow of candlelight, obliv
