Grace still couldn't understand it. She ended up meeting with Felix Delano. It's not a problem because Felix is a confidant of her big boss. Only, this is the first time she is with Felix. Usually, the man is out of the office more often than her boss.

Luckily, there were no obstacles during the meeting, meaning that Grace felt that Felix was professional. Everything was in order, and Harapan Bangsa finally reached the word deal. Even though when meeting with Mr. Theo, the complicated client always puts pressure on him and wants a lot. But when Felix spoke, the client didn't negotiate much and immediately agreed.

"The report has noted the important points?" Felix asked while stealing glances in the center mirror. The girl who was sitting a bit awkward turned around.

"Yes, sir. Later I will also CC the email to you."

Felix smiled. "Don't call Mr. I'm so old."

Grace tugged at the corners of her lips slowly. "It doesn't feel polite."

Suddenly Felix laughed. "Mr. Theo often tells me that his assistant is fussy. But now it's like losing power? Or are you not fussy anymore?"

The shoulder-length-haired girl pouted. "It's fine. If you don't know me, you won't be fussy. I've only known you recently, haven't you?"

Grace is not lying. Even though she has worked under Theo for six years, that doesn't mean she has to know who her boss's confidant is, right? After all, this cool-looking man in a bright blue shirt was rarely in the office. It's only natural that Grace is this awkward.

"How do you meet again?" Felix asked with a smile. When he turned around, he saw that Grace still did not accept his words earlier. It's hilarious teasing his little assistant Theo.

If they had a meeting outside office hours, where Felix had to be there, Theo talked a lot about Grace. Chatty, Unable to keep quiet, always curious, his work is neat and thorough. Theo always draws the figure of his assistant. To Felix's surprise, Theo always called him Dolphin.

"Like a dolphin, very agile," he said. Felix just laughed at the significant boss analogy. But once they're one frame in the car, the figure doesn't exist. Was it because he felt like a new person to Grace?

"Know-how? You already know. We've never talked together, have we," said Grace, explaining the reason.

Felix chuckled again and shook his head slowly. "Yeah, how about we talk a lot later?" Felix feels this seduction too much, but his lips won't stop saying it. Especially the girl's response...

Grace's lips pursed again.

Teasing Theo's little assistant was a new hobby for Felix. After all, it's not wrong to see the appearance of a Jovanka Grace. With cute, straight shoulder-length hair and polite clothes that fit her petite body, not to mention Felix feels that he is fascinated by Grace's round eyes.

He had indeed seen Grace several times but never spoke much. It just greeted him when he came into Theo's room. The rest? Felix knows the figure of Grace from his boss, who occasionally talks about him.

After that, they did not speak anymore. After all, they will soon arrive at the office. Felix has another schedule that requires him to leave the office again. Maybe this was the only chance he had.

"Grace," Felix called before the girl closed the door. He also considered the many possibilities of failure, but he had to be sure, right?

"Yes?"

"I need your cell phone number, may I?"

Grace's brow furrowed in confusion. "For?"

"He said he wanted to know more. I need to know your number, please."

Which Felix never prepared, Grace, laughed. The man thought he would hear his car door slam because it was rejected. Not.

"Can."

Sustenance means. Inner Felix while taking out his gadget. "Don't reply to my message, okay?"

Grace laughed again. She voluntarily gave her cellphone number because he had a purpose. She is indeed not familiar with Felix, but there is another figure who seems to be secretly admiring this brown-skinned man. Grace's assessment of Felix is pretty cool. Moreover, in terms of work, Felix is an established candidate dedicated to his work. Not infrequently, Theo praised Felix's performance when he discussed the meeting results that his trusted person visited.

"Okay, boss."

Then Grace excused herself to go inside while the car turned around. Grace was reluctant to ask where she was going after taking herself back to the office. Grace had more important work—the meeting report. Grace still feels the euphoria. How come. Everything is easy to deal with, even the current turnover value. It made Grace's eyes suddenly green. It's very bright because it must sign the bonus offers at the end of the year.

As soon as Grace arrived on the third floor, Theo was already sitting in front of his assistant's desk. It looks like it was waiting for his arrival.

"How was it?"

Grace smiled a little. Putting down her bag first, turned on the computer and plugged in the flash drive. Grace has prepared a report that she needed to polish a bit. She entered some parts that she noted in the notes.

"From your face, the result must be okay? Is not it?"

Grace nodded with a smile that wasn't going anywhere. It feels good when offers and cooperation with new clients always end with the word deal.

"I'm grateful. Felix is the most reliable."

"Yes. He was cool, sir, in his presentation. Maybe because of that, Harapan Bangsa finally made a deal."

"Is it not cool if I do the presentation?"

Grace is silent. Wrong talk.

"I'm waiting for the report," Theo said as he stepped back into his room. He does know the capacity of a Felix Delano. It was natural for Grace to be in awe of him. But why did she speak curtly, huh? Theo, it’s not supposed to be like that.

Good grief! Why him, anyway? Yes, because Olivia is like this? But Theo couldn't deny that Olivia's refusal a week ago made him nervous.

A knock made him stutter. "Come in."

Then the tiny figure entered, complete with files in her arms. Theo was sure it was the result of the meeting earlier.

"This is Sir. After I added some notes also from Mr. Felix."

Theo nodded. He asked Grace to sit in the chair in front of his desk while waiting for her to read the files she was handed and examined several deliberately marked sections because the assistant understood best which ones changed and which ones did not need more attention.

It took Theo ten to fifteen minutes to read this draft. Then he gave it to Grace. "Good. I like the result. The report can prepare from now on, don't let it all be busy on the D day. And the new client was disappointed."

Grace nodded obediently. "Sir, you said you were sick. I am better?" Grace was a little worried because her boss never complained about being sick all this time. She was afraid that the extensive body would fall for some reason. It's scary to even think about it.

Theo just smiled a little.

Feeling no response to her question, Grace pouted. "Asked about his health, instead of answering, he smiled. Yesterday's application was a great success, sir?" Grace deliberately fiddled with her eyebrows. Drag and drop to tease the boss.

Instead of getting an answer, the smile that had been on Theo's lips disappeared. Made Grace start to stop putting on a funny expression.

"Sir?" Grace asked carefully. Even though she was the busiest person at the proposal ceremony last week. Everything was left to Grace. They discussed many things because Theo didn't want to hire an EO. According to him, his dolphin assistant is intelligent in designing things. Not so, though. Grace was sure.

The boss wants to make Grace a bit dizzy! But remembering the little bonus that entered her account on Tuesday, Grace squealed with joy. Thank you for the next day with a super happy face. Grace was sure that the event was a success, and she was ready to accept the boss's wedding invitation.

But seeing Theo's face turning cloudy, Grace hesitated. But during this week, nothing has changed in the boss's expression. Ordinary.

"Pin."

Maybe because she was busy with questions about yesterday's proposal ceremony, Grace was daydreaming. She was staggering because of the call. "Yes, Sir?"

"Have you ever been rejected?"
