"Take this down to H.R and have it processes immediately." She said, handing him a familiar file.

The stern tone in her voice had Kennedy curious about the files content, so after dropping off a cup of coffee for her, he peaked into it, surprised to see that she had already signed the termination contract for Bryce Empire that he had given her the last time. "Finally decided on signing the contract, huh?" He muttered to himself and went on to HR to have the process completed.

Leonica heard his words, but before she had the chance to respond, her intercom began ringing With a sigh, she picked it up, placing it close to her ear. "Romero speaking." She greeted blandly. Gang Ralpationa

"Ms. Romero, you have a visitor here waiting to see you." The receptionist informed.

Visitor? Leonica thought, groaning at the thought of Gabriel dragging his ass to her workplace and finding herself surprisingly content at the thought of either Arvan or Owen, Owen more than Arvan, showing up.

But before she jumped into conclusion, she decided to ask. "Who is it?"

The line was silent for a few seconds before the receptionist spoke again. "She says her name is Irene Rosewood, Ma'am."

Irene Rosewood, Leonica narrowed her eyes at the name. What was she doing here?

Trending On The Hot Topic.

"Ms. Romero, shall I tell her to come back another time?" The receptionist asked.

Yeah, and postpone her trouble onto another day where she also wouldn't be in the best mood? Not a chance.

"No, I'll see her now. Have her escorted to the visitor's lounge." Leonica instructed.

"Understood." The receptionist said and the phone call ended.

Standing up from her seat, Leonica adjusted her dress, straightened her posture and left her office.

As she walked into the lounge, the female was quick to notice her.

"MER B

Irene called out, the smile on her lips far from polite, not that Leonica cared. "Your empire is quite beautiful."

Small talk, Leonica rolled her eyes at the obvious attempt, sinking into the chair opposite Irene and shooting her a pointed and very much unimpressed look as she dismissed every effort of small talks and went straight to the point.

"Why are you here?" Her voice held a tone of indifference, arrogance, one would have mistaken it for had they not known her well enough.

Irene scowled on the inside, clearly having mistaken the two, and her impression of Leonica a few days ago wasn't making matters any better

Just you wait, the thought played out in the back of her mind, threatening a smile to break to the surface of her face.

It did, but she quickly masked it as a smile of intrigue. "Direct and simple, 1 like it." She chuckled and crossed her legs, placing her palms on top of her knee. "Well, I have a proposal for you."
