"This way, please. I'm sure you're familiar with the place, but it has changed a little bit. I'll introduce you to the CEO. He's very excited to see you again."
The man before me was very cordial. His smile was friendly, and he carried himself with quiet professionalism. There was something reassuring about his presence. The moment I saw him, I felt instantly more at ease.
'He seems rather friendly.'
Of course, the more he was like this, the wearier I was.
There was no such thing as a kind person in this industry.
'He's without a doubt a snake.'
"This is...?"
Suddenly, he turned his attention towards Zoey.
Despite the hat that covered her face, she still stood out quite a bit. With both her hands in her pockets, she looked at Daniel and then me.
"I'm..." Her lips pursed, seemingly from trying to figure out what to say. In the end, she went with, "I'm his assistant."
I nearly smacked my hand against my forehead.
This girl...
"Assistant?"
"Oh, yeah."
