Rebecca Quentin lowered her head and hadn't spoken yet when Roye already blurted out, "CEO, Miss Quentin has something to tell you..."
With nervous eyes, Rebecca looked up, "It's nothing major."
Howard Geoffrey, clad in a robe, opened the door, "Let's talk inside."
Once inside, Rebecca initially thought Roye was still there, but somehow he had slipped away unnoticed.
Soon enough, it was just Howard and Rebecca left in the room.
Howard had obviously just taken a shower, as there was a refreshing scent of body wash on him.
Rebecca stood there awkwardly, feeling she had no choice but to make the best of the situation. She was the first to speak, "I came to see you because, during lunch this afternoon, I forgot to thank you."
Howard walked over to Rebecca, steadied her slightly trembling body, and chuckled softly, "There's no need to be so formal with me."
