Sylvie and Astrid went to the company the next morning together as planned. Astrid had been charged with the responsibility of showing her to her office.

It was Sylvie's first time stepping foot in Astréa Label, and the company was a sight to behold. Sylvie was astonished and couldn't stop admiring the place as Astrid led her through.

They finally reached her office, but it was far from what Sylvie had expected. it turned out to be an open-space office with other low ranking staff in it. And it was actually in the production department. This wasn't going to be her office, was it?

The workers turned serious as soon as they saw Astrid, a young woman in suit walked up to them.

"Ma'am," she dipped her head at Astrid.

Over here, you're to heed my instructions if we're to work together." The woman sounded so strict and serious. Sylvie struggled to listen past the million voices in her head.

Astrid stopped walking, appearing disturbed as she looked back at her. Sylvie glanced back at the others in the room, wanting to make sure they were out of earshot.

"I uh... I thought I was going to have my own office. When-"

"Well, this is your own office, Sylvie," Astrid scoffed, a glint of mischief in her eyes.

Sylvie lowered her gaze, hiding her shaky hands by keeping them wrapped around the strap of her bag.

"Okay. But I thought-" thought what? Th
