Steve laughed, "It would have been weird. Just imagine this, 'Hey Erica, by the way I am Steve Ford and I own S.H. Law Firms', did you hear how weird it sounds"
Erica helplessly shook her head.
"It is not at weird as directly showing up in my office as the new CEO"
"Hahaha, if I knew you were working in my law firm, I would have had met you long back"
Erica then cleared her throat and decided to come on the main topic, "Steve, there is something I want to discuss with you"
"Yeah, shoot"
"Although, I am agreeing to this plan of yours, I have some ground rules which are non-negotiable" She informed him clearly.
"Oh okay, what are your ground rules?" Steve seriously asked her.
Erica hesitated before stating them but she had to clear it soon as she didn't prefer having awkward encounters with him in the future. After gathering some courage, she spoke up.
"1) You will never kiss me or try to cross the line between us.
