98 98- Curiosity
Delinda and Denzel followed Dean and waited outside the conference room
that seemed to be occupied at the moment.
“Is there a meeting going on?” Denzel asked nervously to no one in
particular, but Delinda thought she had to answer it as she stood closest to
him.
“Seems like, there is,” they saw Dean knocking on the door and got inside.
“If the president of MSin is busy in the meeting then it’s not OK to disturb him. Our discussion shouldn’t take more than half an hour,” Denzel spoke again.
Delinda stayed quiet.
Her silly friend sent her with Denzel to have privacy. The purpose was not to have a peaceful discussion but to open up in each other’s company.
The office walls were soundproof, so they didn’t have any idea what was going on inside the conference room.
What if they are having some kind of argument? If the president asks Dean what is our discussion about, then how will he answer that?
If Mr. Sinclaire asks me, then how will I satisfy him?
Sir. Wa
room.
wanted to discuss the columns and report design in the meeting
Sorry, sir. We were just sent by Ms. Aaron to discuss this important issue of a report that Mr. Denzel designed…
Mr. Sinclair. We are so sorry. Marissa just wanted us to have some privacy. She is trying to set me up with this rude man.
Crap! What is going on inside? Delinda shuddered at those weird thoughts that were attacking her mind.
“Should I open the door, and see?” Denzel asked, eyeing her worried face. “And tell them what?” she raised her brows. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“If they have an issue leaving the conference room then I can tell them that we’ll be happy to have this discussion in the office café.” This time she
watched his face with interest.
He was not bad looking and the way he wanted to solve the issue, she thought he looked… cute.
“Obviously if you have an issue with the café discussion then no problem, Delinda,” he said raising his hand as if giving her the choice.
She felt like her name never sounded so good.
“N–no. I think this makes sense. We can talk about it in the café.”
For the first time, Delinda felt there was a man who wanted the exact same thing as her.
They both seemed to be interested in avoiding any kind of drama or a fight which was a good sign.
With a nod, Denzel opened the door and went inside with Delinda following him. A woman was talking loudly to Dean, and he was patiently trying to
convince her.
“Are you mad? We booked this room, and you are asking me to take the team of my fifteen members in the other room?” her eyes then snapped to Delinda and Denzel, “How many people are there in the meeting?”
Delinda who wasn’t ready for this attack took time to answer her.
“Two,” Denzel told her confidently.
That woman looked at Dean like she wanted to kill him, “Is this a joke or something? Two people in the conference room?”
She then turned to Delinda, “I know you. Aren’t you the one of those who escaped from that reception area without your official cards, and it cost me my job?”
Delinda was speechless for a moment and then realized the woman looked familiar.
“M–mala?” she whispered her name.

“Yes. I’m Mala. Mr. Sinclair gave me another chance on one condition that I won’t bully anyone and here you are, bullying me.”
“I’m sorry, Mala. You can carry on with your meeting,” in her haste, Delinda held Denzel’s hand, “We’ll go out.”
She took the step to walk out of the door when Dean stopped her, “Wait, Delinda.”
He then moved his attention back to Mala, “You are again doing the same. thing, Mala. Don’t make a scene. I know it’s wrong, but we are just following orders.”
Delinda frowned while looking at Dean, “Why is Dean sounding like he is following the President’s order? It was a request from Marissa. Wasn’t it? Her friend will never want to disrupt the environment of the office like this,” she thought to herself.
“Let them stay here, Dean,” Delinda tried to speak to Dean. She was getting nervous by the looks she was getting from all the people sitting there. Not leaving Denzel’s hand, she got out of the room and exhaled a long sigh.
“You seem a little panicked,” Denzel asked her and looked around to ask someone for water.
“Hey, you two! Is your discussion done?” Delinda closed her eyes when saw Marissa coming out of the hall holding her laptop.
“N–no,” Delinda noticed Marissa was looking down at something. Delinda followed her gaze and found herself still gripping Denzel’s hand.
“Oh,” She quickly dropped it from her grip and looked at Marissa.
“Dean is convincing the people inside the room to leave, and that lady is just arguing,” Denzel told Marissa, “I don’t understand. We are no longer interested in taking that conference room, but Dean seems to be turning a deaf ear.”
A horrified expression crossed Marissa’s face, “The conference room was occupied?” when her phone started making g buzzing sound, she balanced the laptop in one arm and received the phone.

The call was from Rafael, “Where are you?” he asked her, “Interested in a coffee cup?” she tilted her head a little and whispered in phone.
“I’m busy here. There is some misunderstanding from my side and now… I don’t know why Dean isn’t listening. Just give me a minute to resolve this.”
“What is it about, Marissa?” Rafael asked her but she had cut the call and went inside the room.
“Hey, Mala!” she greeted the lady who was now yelling at Dean for some reason and Dean was trying to cool her down.
“You! Again! Don’t you get tired of it, Ms. Marissa?” Mala narrowed her eyes. when saw Marissa, “We keep getting punished for following the rules!” Marissa didn’t have any idea why she was behaving so rudely. She was here to apologize to the woman and tell Dean sternly that he wasn’t supposed to empty the room when it was already booked.
With a small click, the door opened, and someone came inside. A sudden silence fell over the room.
With curiosity, Marissa turned back and found Rafael standing there.
