Episode 3

Dimitrei Uvarov, a man whose presence was so electrifying, strode confidently through the doors of the grand company lobby.

Although he was the CEO of this company, he rarely made an appearance as he often resided in his homeland, Russia.

However, on that day, an important agenda summoned him to one of the company's headquarters located in New York.

As Dimitrei entered the room, all eyes immediately turned to him. The aura of leadership and the high charisma radiating from him were undeniable.

He was the figure who ruled this company with an iron fist, and today, everyone felt a pressure in his presence.

Thalia, a staff member working in the finance division, stood behind the Division Heads gathered in the lobby. Her heart pounded as Dimitrei approached.

She tried to maintain her composure, bowing her head low, ready to carry out any orders from the Head of Finance standing near her.

Every step Dimitrei took felt like an earthquake in her life, as she had heard quite frightening rumors about Dimitrei from her colleagues.

The division heads, who had known Dimitrei for a long time, greeted him respectfully. They knew that today was a very important day for the company, and they were ready to support every decision their CEO would make.

Dimitrei didn't waste time. He immediately directed his steps towards the main meeting room on the tenth floor of the building.

The company executives followed Dimitrei's steps towards the private elevator. Thalia joined them because her Division Head instructed her to always be by his side.

Inside the elevator, the atmosphere felt awkward, and there was no conversation from Dimitrei, who was known to be a man of few words.

Soon, the elevator doors opened and Dimitrei stepped forward. Suddenly, he stopped, causing Thalia, who was walking with her head down behind him, to bump into his back.

"Shit!!" Thalia cursed under her breath. It seemed her first encounter with the big boss was already problematic.

Dimitrei turned around and looked at Thalia, who was still looking down.

"I'm sorry, Sir," Thalia tried to remain calm and collected. However, she had to look at Dimitrei because the man didn't like it when people talked to him without making eye contact.

Dimitrei didn't answer and stared into Thalia's soft eyes.

"What's your name?" asked Dimitrei in his deep voice that sent shivers down every woman's spine, making Thalia's blood rush.

Thalia tried her best not to waver and feel nervous facing her super charismatic boss.

"My name is Thalia and I'm from the Finance Division, Mr. Uvarov," Thalia replied calmly and confidently.

No one dared to interrupt what was happening at the moment, and all the employees around them remained silent, not daring to make a sound.

Dimitrei took a step forward, his face lowered, and whispered in Thalia's ear.

"I like your scent," whispered Dimitrei, making Thalia's chest feel like it was about to explode. She never expected Dimitrei to say something like that to her.

Thalia swallowed hard, her hands suddenly cold. She could no longer hide her nervousness.

Dimitrei then stepped back, turned around, and walked back towards the meeting room.

John held Thalia's arm to help her snap out of her nervousness, and they followed their big boss to the meeting room.
