64 64- Peace
Marissa had to wait for Dean who was busy in Rafael’s office for God knew how long. There was some
important meeting going on and Dean was inside the President’s office for a very long time.
And the revelation that Kate was also there. Something fishy was going on inside that room!
She was sharing a table with her friends, busy flipping the pen between her fingers when Delinda poked her index finger into her shoulder,
“Come back, Marissa. Back to earth.”
Marissa took a sigh and turned to her, “I was thinking” Delinda placed her arms on the table and bent forward a little, “we could have a mix of finger foods along with main courses on my table. And maybe some mini quiches, sliders, and a variety of dips with bread and vegetables?” Delinda made a popping sound with her lips and gave a questioning glance to Shang–chi.
“I think that sounds great,” Shang Chi gave a playful punch on Delinda’s shoulder, “I think, I should also add some Asian fusion dishes,” he then turned to Marissa,

“How about some spring rolls and sushi?”
“I love sushi. Why didn’t you think of it before,” Peter closed his eyes in ecstasy swiping his tongue between his lips.
“The food will be for guests, silly. Not you,” Marissa said with a serious face, but they knew she was teasing
Peter.
“Oh, come on. We are allowed to eat, do you know why? Because we are humans…” he stuck out his tongue like a kid, making everyone sitting there laugh.
“By the way, Marissa,” he stood up and scurried to his desk, shuffling through some papers before grabbing rolled sheet, “Look,” he called out, making his way back, with his rolled sheet, “I know you approved the mural designs last time for the event but just have a
look here,” he took off the rubber band from the sheet
and started unrolling it on the desk, “last night I was thinking to add some vibrant and festive ideas…maybe a colorful cityscape with people celebrating….. so instead of going to the bed I started this…”
With their curiosity piqued, the team leaned in to have
a better look.

“My my…” Delinda whistled at the artwork in admiration.
“This is great, Pet,” Marissa leaned closer to inspect his work, “it would set the mood for the party. In this way, the foreigners can see Kanderton city in a new light. Why don’t you add more elements that can represent
Kanderton culture a little more?”
Peter was blushing with all the praise he was receiving. He wasn’t expecting so much appreciation from his friends. Staying awake for most of the night had paid
off.
“I’ll incorporate that,” Peter agreed, “once Dean takes me to the venue, I’ll start working on it. People are excited to do something at the event and I’ll be the one whose painting needs to get done one week
before the event.”
Marissa jotted down some notes in her notepad. Dalinda tilted her head thoughtfully, “Marissa. Do we have any kids coming to the party?” she asked.
“I don’t know, Del,” Marissa glanced up, “But usually in these official events couples are invited. Haven’t seen any kids attending such events. Why are you asking

Her friends were gathering their belongings before standing up when Kate entered the ha ith a happy glowing face, “Hey, folks! I have hit the jackpot!”
She announced her voice filled with suppressed happiness.
“Well! Congratulations!” Delinda said sincerely looking up from her seat, “What is it?”
For the last few days, Kate had been entirely a different person and was no longer giving tough time
to anyone.
Even she was sweetest with Marissa.
“I have gotten …kind of promotion!” she announced a little loudly, drawing the attention of the other people sitting at some distance.
“Please tell us! We are dying to know,” A man from another team asked her, curiosity evident in his tone.
Kate beamed, her smile wide and genuine, “MSin Industries is giving me a café in the building! Can you

“No, silly,” Kate threw her arms around Delinda’s neck and kissed her check, “Mr. Sinclair had a meeting with me, and he assured me himself”
Marissa felt strange,
Rafael had a meeting with Kate and announced to he a café? Of course, she didn’t have any problem with that. But she was appointed as in charge of the event. and she didn’t know that a girl working under her was given a permanent café in the building.
What was cooked in that office that she wasn’t aware
of?
Was it a reward? Because Marissa wasn’t aware of any
extraordinary task done by Kate,
No. She didn’t feel jealous
