The tiles are polished, and the lights are strategically placed to showcase the office's exquisite features. The lobby desk is a masterpiece in itself, exuding an air of elegance and refinement.

"Blaine, act like a CEO, please." I suddenly realized that my mouth was still agape. Without wasting a moment, I swiftly closed my mouth to avoid any possibility of being seen with my... ugh!

"Is it illegal to express my emotions?" I raised my eyebrows, and she responded by rolling her eyes, before turning her attention to the receptionist in the lobby.

"Good morning, I have a scheduled appointment with Miss Fuen—"
