"Dani, Mr. Anderson is here to see you." Jacky stuck her neck on the door, informing her that the managing head of the firm was outside, waiting to see her.

She had met Mr. Anderson in several of their meetings and seen him along the hallway or around the office. But she had not gotten the opportunity to talk to him on a one-on-one basis before.

This made her look up at Jacky, raising her brows at her questioningly, silently communicating with her. Jacky shrugged her shoulders, implying that she also had no clue why he was here.

"Please, let him in." She instructed as she closed the file she was working on. The only way to find out was to meet with him.

It was rare that the managing head would directly deal with the help. In this scenario, being a junior partner, she was considered to be included at the bottom of the food chain.

Usually, it was Evan who directly talked to her when she had a new assignment. Therefore, her boss going down to her office to talk to her was a big deal. It could mean several things, but it must be very important. Whatever it was, it got her excited and on edge.

She wondered if it had something to do with her new case. Or maybe he was giving her a bigger case to handle. She could feel her hand tingling with anticipation every second that she waited for him to enter her small office.

"Good morning, Ms. Hamilton." He tapped on her glass door as he greeted her by the door.

"Good morning, Mr. Anderson, please come in and sit down." She offered the vacant seat in front of her, straightening in her seat as she waited for the purpose of his visit.

"You are probably wondering why I am here." When she nodded and said nothing, he continued. "Can I call you, Dani?" Since that was what he usually heard the others called her.

"Dani is fine, Mr. Anderson." She replied, smiling at his friendly gesture.

"Then, just call me, David." It had been their practice that when it was just them in the office, calling by their first name was normal.

"Ok, David. What can I do for you?" She finally could not wait to know why he was here in her office, instead of her going to his, which was the usual practice.

"Yeah, about that." He paused as if he was watching her reaction to what he was about to say next. "It came to my attention that you have recently been involved in a relationship with one of our clients."

She suddenly felt alarmed, thinking if she had somehow broken a rule or something about getting involved with a client. Although she could not recall anything about it. "Is there something wrong with that?" She questioned, wary that she might have made the mistake of getting involved with Alex.

"No, no, no. Nothing is wrong." He quickly assured her seeing that she was a bit concern with his statement. "I came here because I just had a conversation with Alex and he informed me about your current arrangement."

"He did what?" She slightly yelled at her boss, unable to control herself quickly enough. She quickly placed a hand across her mouth to stop herself from saying more. She was temporarily stunned but quickly recovered. "I meant, he told you."

"Yes. Alex is a close friend and he trusts me to handle your arrangement with him since Marcus was tied up in another situation at the moment." David explained to her as he showed her the folder that he was holding in his hands, putting it on the table in front of her.

"Oh ok." She answered him, picking up the folder and skimming through its content. It was the revised contract, containing the changes they had discussed the other night.

"I will leave you to review the contract. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. If all is in order, you know where to sign." He stood up from his seat and excused himself, leaving her with the file.

She was examining thoroughly the contract in her hand when she heard Jacky entered her office after David left her a while ago.

"What was that all about?" Jacky asked, also curious why the big boss paid her a visit.

She waved the file in her hand, showing it to Jacky. "Just brought me the contract that I need to sign."

She nodded in understanding what she was talking about since she already told her all about it. "So, are you going to sign it?" She sat down on the edge of the table, taking a peek at the contract on the table.

"You know I have no choice now. I already gave him my word." As much as she wanted to back out of it, she could not. It was not in her to retract on her word.

"Anyway, admit it, this is a good deal. It was not as if you are getting nothing from this arrangement." Jacky pointed out the obvious.

"Yeah, I know that." She finished checking the contract and found that all was in order. All she was left to do now was sign it. She took her pen and poised it on the dotted line. With one deep breath, she scribbled her name and placed her signature on the available space.

She shoved the folder into the hands of Jacky. "Give this to Mr. Anderson before I changed my mind and ripped it in half."

She could see the smile on her friend's face as a sign of approval of her action. "You'll see, this is not a mistake. This arrangement, I believe will be good for you." Jacky left her to deliver the contract to David before she acted on her threat.

Maybe Jacky was right. She decided to stop worrying too much. If she was being honest, Alex was not the enemy here, but herself. Maybe it was time that she let herself loose and just see how she would benefit more from this deal. It was time to have her fun.

Alone again in her office, she dialed another number that she had saved on her home screen. It was a number that she would be calling frequently from now on.

"It's done. Now what?" She asked him, once he answered his phone.

"Now, we are officially a couple." He simply answered her, smiling widely, quite satisfied, knowing she already signed the contract.
