One would think a company that deals with mere beauty products wouldn't have much paperwork, but one look at Ella's desk, and you would think twice about that.

She stood up to stretch her back before glancing at her wall clock. She hadn't realised that it was past 3 PM already.

Since she arrived at work that morning, she has been busy—first with a series of meetings and now with paperwork. 

She picked up her phone and checked her WhatsApp messages, wondering why she hadn't heard from Ken. That was so unlike him since he had made it a habit to always call her or drop by during lunchtime.

She dialled his number and waited patiently as it rang for him to pick up. 

"Hey, baby! Can I call you back? I'm in the middle of something right now," Ken said and hung up before she could say anything.
