After a few days, Reen visited Uoron's company once she had finalized and compiled the documents she needed with the help of Mirly, Hue and Wisteria. They had offered to go with her but she declined.
"I have to do this alone and if I bring any of you three it would only gain too much attention."
Because of Hue and Wisteria's identity she did not want to bring them as it may cause more harm than good when their fans surround them as she planned to go as "Reen" to not gain too much attention on herself.
For Mirly on the other hand, besides her identity as a mercenary that only few knew, with her model like looks no matter how she tries to cover it up her natural charm would still be noticed by the people. Unlike Reen who when she was not Crimson can be seen and considered as one of the crowds only.
The three could only reluctantly agree. Reen then left their house carrying with her a bundle of documents and a small shoulder bag. They still asked Mason [1] to bring her to Uoron's company, left without a choice she could only agree towards their pushy request.
After arriving at least a few meters away from the building, she asked to be left off this far as she didn't want to create any commotion and bid him goodbye.
The guard welcomed her despite her looking like a sight [2] in his eyes which made her feel good about the reception of the company but it changed as she interacted with the company's personnel.
"Uhm… Good morning." Reen shyly asked.
Looking up, the receptionist saw Reen who was wearing a black peony semi-formal dress while she partnered it with bisque patent colored flat shoes. She also made her hair into a side-parted wave with a front braid.
The woman could not help but frown but immediately changed her expression into a professional one. Reen who was closely observing her reaction couldn't help but gulped a mouthful of saliva in her nervousness.
It was not that she hadn't talked or went to such rich looking and high class companies but that was for jobs and not like her personal intention now.
"I should have asked at least Mirly to accompany me." She couldn't help but think to herself in regret.
"What can I do for you ma'am?"
"Oh! Uhm… May I speak with Mr. Uoron? Please…?"
The attendant raised her brows in obvious displeasure as she heard how Reen address their boss so informally.
"He is like our male idol in the company. How dare this chawbacon [3] casually call our boss by his birth name!" She ridiculed but as she was professionally trained she still treated her with respect.
"Do you have any appointment Miss?"
"Uhm…." She actually forgot to call him to set an appointment and feeling the scrutinizing stare by the receptionist she could not say anything anymore as though something got struck on her throat. Seeing this reaction, the receptionist then said
"I'm so sorry miss, if you don't have one then I am sorry to say that you cannot see him." after saying her piece she immediately ignored Reen and went back to her work.
