All the members of the meeting applauded for the thought and conclusiveness of their CEO and this way , the doubts were eradicated from anyone , regarding the collaboration reason and vice - versa . Everyone was set to be collaborating with the Mo company and looked expectantly towards it .
Samuel finally sighed with relief as he made way towards his office .
'A few days more and the historical moment won't be any far .' Thought Samuel as he entered his office and instructed his assistant to do the needful .
Samuel's office was filled with black , white and grey colours since the only source of colour in his life had disappeared off , seven years ago . Sometimes , he thought about his decision if he was right in pushing her away or did he do a great regretful mistake . He just couldn't move on .

Rita was going through the files on her desk when she heard a soft knock at her office door .
"Come in please ." Rita answered the knock without looking at the door , thinking that it might be Mr . Liam Sheng .
When after a while , she didn't hear any other response from , she lifted up her head , only to be greeted by a bento box carrying , handsome man .
But she was not any of these women to be swayed by the looks and likes of his own .
She went back to reading the documents .
Seeing the nonchalant look and attitude of his friend , Noah faked a crying drama as he clutched his chest .
"Ahh.. you heartless soul , how can you not be welcoming of your friend when I left all my work ..only to meet you and help you with the lunch . I even went to your favourite shop to buy this bento box . You didn't even acknowledge me . Is this how you treat your best friend ."
"I didn't ask you to come all the way here ."
"You hurt me too much , Rita . I guess it's time for me to be on my more serious side . Rita , I'm in love with you ."
Rita swiftly looked up to his face , only to be met with ever- serious look in his eyes .
'Noah likes ....no loves me !!??'
Rita was instantly horrified as she was almost stoned in place .
'Did she hear it right ? Noah loves her ? He can't be serious , can he?'
" What …are you stupefied ? Did you think that I'll keep on denying my feelings for you and keep on torturing myself till the brink of death ? Rita , I love you with all my heart . Can't you see it ?"
Rita suddenly felt a lump grow up in her throat . She felt like crying hard . Many people in her life had ever proposed to her , obviously the ones at school were different and she didn't pay them any mind . She didn't expect this coming .
Rita could only be stoned at her place , as she watched Noah make his way to her and come up to her , with him hovering over her head . Then suddenly , he stooped down to one knee and caught her hand gently like it was some delicate and brought it to his lips and kissed her fingers . Rita instantly felt electrified and a few drops of tears fell down her cheeks .
"Noah .."
"Shh.. you don't have to say anything . I know it's a bit surprising for you and lot to take in .But I can't keep waiting anymore to propose to you , Rita . You make me go crazy . I want to be your first ever boyfriend . Will you be my bae ?"
Rita was too stupefied to speak a single word . She squeaked when Noah suddenly leaned towards her face and pecked her nose . His eyes darting between her eyes and lips . And then slowly but steadily , he inched closer and closer to her lips that they almost touched ….
"What are you thinking , Noah ? Come back .. Noah, Noah , Noah ???"
Rita flicked her fingers in front of him and snapped him back to reality . Noah was confused for a good whole minute as he contemplated his wishful thinking and then faked a rough cough .
Rita immediately gave him a glass of water and guided him towards the sofa in the office , to lie down .
"What were you thinking ?"
Noah gulped down the whole glass of water and just shrugged off the awkwardness he was feeling .
'What was I thinking ?'
