"Good morning sir", Ivy said in her high-pitched singsong voice, as she stepped into the most dreaded office in the company.

" Yes-yes", he muttered with his back turned to her, whilst trying to get off a call.

"That voice? It can't be", Ivy wondered

" Lucy"? he asked, surprised..."I never thought I would see you again"

"Oh, no! this must be a bad dream...a terrible one at that", Ivy thought to herself, as she finally saw the face of the man whose voice she had just heard.

" You asked to see me s-sir", Ivy stuttered

"See you? For what?", he asked, still surprised

" I'm Ivy Jakes s-sir, the new regional director of sales", she managed to say after a brief moment of silence

"Who would've thought", he smirked

In the thick silence that enveloped the room, Ivy was sure she could hear her heartbeat and could feel her legs wobble while standing tongue-tied in front of her new boss.

She was almost hyperventilating, with beads of sweat trickling down her forehead in the air-conditioned office, knowing that her life....and particularly her career was about to change, either for good or for bad...she could swear it was for bad

How could it be that Dan, the caring man she met in Vegas is Richard Stone, the mysterious boss, she had always heard about....but then, what happens in Vegas...
