Myra had just arrived at the Company when Barbara had just arrived too.
" Good morning. " Barbara greeted her with a smile.
" Come here..." Myra called her opening her hands for a hug.
" Sup ? What's the hug for ? " She asked beneath her shoulders.
" I missed you.." Myra said pouting her lips.
Barbara pulled away and smiled.." I am here for you again.." She said and went with her to her Office.
" How is Leo ? " Myra asked.
" He's doing better. He was actually released yesterday. Did you get to know about that ? " Barbara inquired
" Really ? I am clueless about that. " Myra answered getting to her desk.
" You know he is strong in his own ways. You shouldn't worry about him. We only have two days to the show " Barbara said.
" I am more than ready for the show. And this time round, There's no losing. " Myra assured her.
" I hear..that's for the good of the company anyway. " Barbara said while she went to sit on the couch in the parlor.
They used the two days very well to prepare for the Pearls show and they were too busy to have time for other things. Barbara called Leo every evening to check on how he was doing and this made him adore her more.

It was finally the day for the Pearls show and Myra was checking on her models and and briefing them.
Time came to go for the fashion gala night and they were done getting into their cars when Myra smiled at David.
" They are all set. Let's go ! " She said.
Barbara was on her phone standing besides Myra's car when she came to her with David.
" Barbara, It's time to set off. " She said.
" Okay..." Barbara entered the car first with David and Myra was about to enter when a taxi came and stopped right before them.
Myra frowned only to see Leo coming out of it. He had put on his bodyguard suit again.
And he looked as handsome and elegant as always.
Myra found herself smiling on his seeing his cute face again and she sighed in relief upon his return.
" Good evening Mrs Myra. I've reported back. " He said with seriousness.
"..I..am..welcome back. " She found her voice.
Leo bowed before her and entered the car sitting right besides David who was on the driving seat.
" Welcome back.." David said.
" Thanks.." He said and when he turned to look behind he smiled at Barbara.
At the moment Myra was entering and she saw the way they smiled at each other. She sat down and they started the car.

Different guests and people from different companies were arriving and the place was soon crowded.
Myra arrived with her company and they were welcomed inside.
They were also busy with them makeup and dressing the model's and it was when they were done that Barbara went over to Leo.
" Why did you report back this soon ? " She asked.

They were talking when Myra came to them..
" It's time to go to the show room. " She said and they followed after her.
The show begun with the national anthem and the theme and after it different companies started presenting their fashions.

It finally came to an end when the time for declaration reached.
The judges and the CEO of Pearls fashions went up to the stage to the declare the winner. They all begun with remarks from the different companies and finally the time for the declarations reached.

" The third Company is , Elegancy Designs...." She declared and they all clapped for them as their CEO went forward.
" The second company is Andersons Group .." They declared and clapped for them to go forward.

" So the winner, Of the 2023 Pearls show is...." They first left people in suspense and there was total silence.
" The winner is Myra Designs
.." The judges declared in chorus and Myra got up and clapped immediately with tears of joy on her face.
She gently went to the stage to shake hands with the judges and organizers.
They took a number of photos together and after this she got her award and raised it up for the people to see.
After this she went back to her workers and they all hugged her in great joy.
After everything they all parted and Myra was escorted to her car by Leo and David.
David stepped back when they were getting inside the car.
" I have informed Boss already that Leo is back. So I will back off from here. " Said David.
" Okay thanks. I will also head to my Condo now. " Myra said.
David made a bow before her and then left.
Myra entered the car and sat inside but she didn't say a word to Leo until they reached the apartment and went with her to the door.
" I will leave from here. " He said.
" Thanks coming. " She said.
" You don't have to. " He answered.
" I am grateful. You haven't healed well but you couldn't miss our show. I am really grateful. This makes me feel that you now consider yourself as part of my company too. " She said.
He smirked and said. " I didn't come because I care about the Company. I came because It's always dangerous for you to be in a crowd of people so as a bodyguard, I came to fulfill my duty to protect you. " He said.
" Okay, I understand that. But aren't you happy for me ? " She asked.
