CH.33 - Contract Meeting

REBECCA'S POV

I COULD FEEL the stares that my boss and editor was giving me. I could literally see their heads moving from side to side while trying to weigh the possible thoughts that were going through my head as well as the man that was sitting across from me.

Ibarra.

Yep. The day has finally come when we have to discuss the project he proposed to me.

No one dared to speak because the aura of the room was already tense. The way I and Ibarra exchanged glances definitely had an underlying meaning. Yes, of course. I figured out that he would be surprised to see me. Behind his smirk, I knew that he was astonished to find out that his once 'dog' was now ready to bite his hands off.

Nikki tried to shake off the awkward silence by letting out a laugh, but it turned out into a nervous one.

“Shall we start the meeting?” Nikki politely asked Ibarra who didn’t even bother to look at her, because this man was just bluntly staring at me with a mysterious look in his eyes.

The nerve!
