The next morning, Sophia arrived at the office, looking refreshed and ready to tackle the day's tasks. As she walked to her desk, she noticed Dylan already seated at his office, typing away on his computer.

Sophia felt a flutter in her chest as she seen dylan is looking handsome today as he change in his dressing sence.everyday he's wearing black and white shirt.but today he wear cream color shirt with dark brown color blazer and trourser.She couldn't help but stare at dylan ans said to herself today dylan is looking handsome.

As she approached her desk, Dylan looked up and caught her eye from dylan cabin "Good morning, Sophia," he said, his voice firm but with a hint of warmth.

Sophia smiled and replied, "Good morning, sir."

Dylan nodded and continue his work in cabin, but Sophia couldn't shake off the feeling that something had shifted between them. She felt more at ease around him, and she couldn't help but wonder what the future held.

As the day progressed, Sophia found herself working more efficiently, and Dylan seemed more approachable. They exchanged banter and laughter, and Sophia felt like she was finally getting to know her boss.

But just as things were going smoothly, Sophia's phone buzzed with a message from Johnson. "Hey, Sophia. When are we meeting again?" he asked.

Sophia hesitated for a moment before responding to Johnson's but She decided to agree to meet him. "Hey Johnson, how about we meet at noon near my office cafe?" she typed out.

Johnson responded ok when I am arrived I'll text you, and Sophia typed ok, johnson.

Meanwhile, Dylan was watching from afar, his eyes narrowing slightly as he saw Sophia laughing and chatting with whom and he thought it would be Johnson. He felt a pang of jealousy, but he pushed it aside, focusing on the work in his hand.

As Sophia met Johnson at the cafe, they order cappuccino and sandwich which is cage special.they shared their college memories and happiness with each other, Dylan walked into the cafe, looking for a quiet spot to meet a potential client. As he scanned the room, his eyes landed on a familiar figure - Sophia. She was laughing and chatting with Johnson, and they seemed to be having a great time.

Dylan's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the scene unfold. He hadn't expected to see Sophia here, and he certainly hadn't expected her to be so... carefree with Johnson.

The cafe was bustling with activity, but Dylan's focus was solely on Sophia. He watched as she smiled and laughed, her eyes sparkling with amusement. Johnson was clearly smitten by sophia.

Dylan's meeting was forgotten, and he found himself lingering by the counter, watching Sophia and Johnson. He couldn't help but feel a jealousy, and he wasn't sure why. Wasn't Sophia just doing her thing, socializing with friends?

As Dylan stood there, Sophia suddenly looked up and caught his eye. For a moment, they just stared at each other, the noise of the cafe fading into the background. Sophia's smile faltered, and she looked away, her cheeks flushing slightly.

Dylan's heart skipped a beat as he realized he had been caught staring. He nodded curtly and turned away, pretending to check his phone. But he couldn't shake off the feeling that he had just been caught in the act.

Sophia and Dylan's eyes met across the cafe, and Dylan couldn't help but walk over to where she was sitting with Johnson. "Why are you here?" he asked, his voice firm but curious.

Sophia smiled and replied, "We planned to meet here, but what about you, sir? Why are you here?"

Dylan explained, "I had a meeting with a client scheduled here, but it seems the client canceled. I was about to leave then I saw you."

Sophia nodded understandingly. "Okay, sir."

As Dylan stood there, Sophia hesitated, unsure whether to invite him to join her and Johnson or bid them farewell. Given the tension between Johnson and Dylan. "Come on, Sophia, we'll both head back to the company together," Dylan said, his voice smooth.Sophia decided it would be best to leave with Dylan.

Sophia was torn but decided to finish her sandwich before leaving. "Wait, sir. I'll finish this sandwich, and we'll leave for the company," she said.

Dylan nodded and waited patiently. As Sophia finished her sandwich, she said goodbye to Johnson. "Bye, Sophia. We'll meet again," Johnson said, smiling.

Sophia nodded and left with Dylan. As they sat in Dylan's car, he asked, "Why were you meeting with him?"

Sophia explained, "He's my college senior, sir. He helped me with my studies, and I wanted to catch up with him. I know he's your company's rival, but that doesn't mean I can't meet him as a friend."

Dylan was silent for a moment before saying, "Okay. Just be careful not to share company information with him."

Sophia felt a bit defensive and said, "Sir, I'm not that type of girl who would leak company information for money."

Dylan quickly clarified, "I didn't mean that, Sophia."

Sophia turned her face to the window, and Dylan thought she was angry with him. He apologized, "Sorry, Sophia."

Sophia turned back to him and said, "It's okay, sir."

As they reached the company, Dylan and Sophia headed to his cabin. Sophia went to her desk and focused on completing her remaining work.

As the day drew to a close, Sophia packed up her things and prepared to leave. Dylan looked up from his work and said, "Sophia, can I see you for a minute?"

Sophia nodded and walked over to his desk. "Yes, sir?" she asked, her voice neutral.

Dylan leaned back in his chair and said, "I want to discuss the upcoming project. Can you come to my cabin tomorrow morning at 9 am?"

Sophia nodded, her heart racing with anticipation. "I'll be there, sir," she said, her voice firm.

As she left the office, Sophia couldn't help but wonder what the meeting would bring.
