"I should accompany you to the Gala of Stars?" I repeated, and he nodded, gazing at me.
"It's a business award so I don't think I should be there. I don't want to embed myself in any dating rumors. I love my silent life where I'm popular for my good working skills and not for having an affair with a wealthy man," I explained, showing disapproval of his request.
"I thought you don't care about rumors? You're just going to accompany me there,"
"Mr Jonathan, I'm sorry I can't. If I'm to go to that award, it's Mr. Roland I'm supposed to go with since he's my boss. I care about rumors; that's why I do want to embed myself into one. The one circulating in the company is enough for me" I stated, drinking some water as I avoided his intense gaze.
"I have heard you. I'll respect your decision,"
I heard a knock on my office door and my eyes darted to the door. "Come in," Nvee rushed in and bowed slightly.
