Mikayla wasn't in a

She couldn't fall asleep after returning to

room last night, so she got up and looked at the online documents.

Without her awareness, the day broke. Mikayla checked the tand got dressed. She took out the gift from

Carlos and put it on after pondering at the gift box on the bed. Standing in front of the mirror, she was impressed

by Carlos good taste.

After breakfast, she went to the company as usual. Today was Saturday, and she wasn't supposed to work. But

because of Maxius' return, their department had to work an extra day. Hence, the company was exceptionally

quiet today.

When she entered the company, Quinnlyn cto her. "Ms. Salvatore, Mr. Lark is already inside"

Mikayla glanced at Maxius office area and spotted a silver-gray suitcase. As expected, he cto the company

right after he landed.

"Go make scoffee and milk." She happened to need a pick-me-up.

"Okay!" said Quinnlyn.

Mikayla pushed open the office door. Inside, Maxius opened his eyes when he heard the noise. He rubbed the

bridge of his nose and put on a warm smile. There you are!"

"Why don't you cin the afternoon? Mikayla went into the back room and took off her coat, scarf, and gloves

before coming out.

The office was kept at room temperature, so she didn't feel cold wearing her work clothes alone.

"Something's on my mind. | thought I'd cand report to you so that | can sleep at ease! With his handsome

and clean face, and his decent suit, Maxius looked like a business elite. He was a nice and considerate guy-

provided that he wasn't around a computer.

The moment he touched a computer, he would turn into an image-damaging dork

to Maxius.

Quinnlyn cin with milk and coffee. Mikayla motioned her to give the milk to

Maxius noticed Mikayla's tired face and asked, "Why do you have coffee so early? Did you sleep well last night?"

"I did. | just got up too carly and couldn't go back to sleep" Mikayla turned on the computer.

After a while of personal conversation, Maxius took out a document from his briefcase.

"These are the results of my negotiations with several companies. All of them are documented. Have a look. I'm

more bullish on the latter three," Maxius explained seriously "After making the comparison on their technology

on-site, each has its own advantages. If we have to find several manufacturers to produce parts separately, the

transportation cost will be significant. We must take that into account"

Mikayla frowned. That was their last resort in the early stage, but it definitely wouldn't work in the long run. In

the case of large-scale production, the intermediate cost would certainly be a substantial amount. "If we found

two companies that can meet our requirements, how about having Northill handle the final step of production?

We're more familiar with Xosa, and we have connections in all aspects there. Northill has also been our long-term

partner," she said.

"What do you think of these two? What about Unicorn and Aidel? Maxius eagerly suggested, as if he had

anticipated it.

Mikayla immediately flipped to the last two files, which contained records of the two factories that were so

detailed that he didn't even need to dictate. She and Maxius were always on the spage every tthey

worked together, which saved her shassle

"These two companies are currently the best fit for our conditions," said Maxius.

Indeed, whether it was their technology, the conditions they had proposed to Maxius, or the geographical

advantages, they all perfectly matched. their current needs. Moreover, judging by the level of those two

companies, they wouldn't have lowered their prices so much, unless Maxius had put great effort into

negotiations.

Mikayla praised, "Putthrough the factories. I'll do the talking. You're indispensable for the technical aspects

of our company too!"

"All right! I'll take care of the backlog next week, Maxius said.

Mikayla put all the papers aside and said to Maxius, "By the way, we have a new person in our department! It's

my cousin, and Don't let him handle the core task for now, and keep an eye on him for me." Maxius didn't ask

further. "Okay."

"Go hand get srest. I'll se

see you next Monday!" said Mikayla.

Maxius relaxed and said. "Shouldn't you u treatto dinner or something. Ms. Salvatore?"

Mikayla chuckled. "Oh, how could | forget? You've been here all this time, and | haven't welcomed you back!

Quinnlyn has found you a place to stay. I'll take you there to have a look after dinner,"

Due to the urgency, Maxius had been staying in a hotel since he returned home, so she had Quinnlyn find a

suitable place for him after work.

"Okay, Ill go back to catch up on

p on ssleep? Maxius got up and waved to Mikayla.

Tpassed quickly, and the workday was over. Mikayla grabbed her coat and exited her office. Tto get off,

everyone! Thanks for your hard work," she said.

"Ms. Salvatore, would you like to have dinner with us? Patricia jumped up to Mikayla and happily invited her.

"Andrew's treat..."

"Oh? What's the occasion, Andrew? Mikayla looked at Andrew.

"Andrew has a girlfriend. He wants to treat us to dinner" Patricia blurted.

"Ms. Salvatore, Andrew stood up and lowered his head,

"What's wrong?" Mikayla asked.

Andrew said hesitantly. Everyone works so hard every day. 1

"It's human nature to make friends. Why would | not allow you to do that? Mikayla smiled and said, "I won't say

anything abour office romance as long as you don't let anything get behind. But you have to informin

advance, so | can prepare double the monetary gift

"Hooray! You're the best, Ms. Salvatore! Patricia hugged Mikayla excutedly and nearly kissed her.

"Andrew, you better hurry! Get married before Ms. Salvatore. Perhaps you could ask her to be your bridesmaid

Eric nudged Andrew.

"I'm still a long way off from that, Andrew said shyly.

"Ms. Salvatore, are you going to have dinner with us?" Patricia released her hand.

Mikayla offered, "No, Maxius and | have sbusiness to discuss. | won't be joining you for dinner. Tonight's

dinner is on me. I'll take it as a celebration of the first successful relationship in the marketing department. Keep

up the good work! But remember "

"Don't let anything get behind!" everyone shouted in chorus.

"Glad you know! Have fun." Mikayla tied her scarf and winked at Quinnlyn before leaving.

Huxley, who had been standing silently at the back, said, "Sorry, everyone. | can't join you for dinner, roo"

"Don't tellyou have something to discuss with Mr. Lark, too?" Eric joked.

Huxley quickened his pace of packing. "My dad just called and askedto chearly, saying he had

something to deal with

"Huxley, you're such a drag! Eric grumbled.

"Sorry, I've got to go!" Huxley picked up his briefcase and hurried off.

Quinnlyn glanced at Huxley as he left. Without a second thought, she turned to the others and said, "What would

you like to eat? I'll make the

reservation
