"You are invited to the company, ma'am. There is a meeting among the board members, so without you we are incomplete."I sat up in bed, my heart racing with anticipation. This could be it, the opportunity I had been waiting for."What time is the meeting?" I asked, trying to sound more alert."It's at 10 am, ma'am," he replied. "Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the meeting. And, Miss Vivian?""Yes?""Please come alone."I nodded, even though he couldn't see me. "I understand. Thank you, Mr. Robert."I hung
VIVIAN POVAs we walked, my gaze remained fixed on Kian, my mind racing with questions I longed to ask him. But his silence was unsettling, and I found myself taken aback by his stoic demeanor."What is that?" he said, his voice firm and low, as if sensing my gaze."Ask me what you want to ask," he added, his eyes never leaving mine.I smiled, intrigued by his perceptiveness. "So you can read my mind?" I teased, trying to break the tension.Kian smirked, his lips curling up ever so slightly.

VIVIAN POVIt’s a Monday morning and today is the day the meeting was adjourned to."I hope something good happens today," I murmured to myself, trying to shake off the feeling of loneliness. As I rushed to the bathroom to get ready, I couldn't help but think that no one would call me, no one would text me, and another day would pass by without any meaningful connections.But just as I was about to apply my makeup, my phone suddenly vibrated. It popped out of my hand and showed "No Name" on the screen.
