Maxwell Peary said nothing further. He reached out once more, took her hand, and they walked out of the CEO's office together.
Inside the Secretary Department, everyone was chattering excitedly, wondering what Nia Mitchell had been doing in there. Some were not curious at all and prepared to leave. But before they could, they saw Maxwell emerge from the CEO Office, holding Nia's hand and heading towards the elevator.
This was absolutely groundbreaking news, the kind of thing you only dreamed about. Everyone in Capital Town knew that Young Master Peary kept to himself and didn't have a girlfriend. Many women had tried to get close to him, but all had failed. How, then, could a man like him be seen holding Nia's hand?
Everyone began to speculate, and a flurry of discussion ensued.
"Who do you guys think Nia Mitchell is? How did she get so lucky?"
She was the object of their envy and admiration.
"Who knows? Weren't they said to be lovers? But something about it feels off."
