**The Unseen Kingdom That Followed Me Into Every Dream by Alyndra Meron Valeen**
This time around, the client meticulously combed through the project details, posed a few thoughtful questions, and, without any hesitation, signed the contract. The atmosphere felt electric with anticipation as we wrapped up the meeting. Afterward, we shared a delightful dinner together, a small celebration before Jeanine and I bid him farewell.
As we settled into our seats, Jeanine turned to me with a respectful nod, her demeanor shifting slightly. “Now that the contract is signed, I should really get back to work,” she suggested, her voice laced with a hint of urgency.
“Not so fast, Jeanine,” I interjected playfully, a grin spreading across my face.
“Yes, Mr. Grimwald?” she replied, her tone shifting from professional to slightly apprehensive. Then, with a wave of her hand, she added, “Oh! Don’t worry about the food. I’ve already taken care of that. I’ll just claim the expenses from finance later.”
I chuckled softly, shaking my head. “That’s not the reason I asked you to wait,” I said, my smile widening as I patted her shoulder gently. “I ordered food for you. I know you’re still hungry, Jeanine. Honestly, you shouldn’t head back to the office after this. Take the evening to unwind, or simply rest at home. Remember, career and work aren’t everything in life, you know?”
As I turned to walk back into the restaurant, I glanced over my shoulder to find her standing there, momentarily frozen. The amusement bubbled up inside me, and I couldn’t help but grin. “Don’t just stand there! Come on! I haven’t finished my dinner yet, and this one’s on me!”
A blush crept across her cheeks as she finally moved to follow. “Y-Yes, sir!” she stammered, her eyes wide with surprise.
In that moment, a realization struck Jeanine: her life was about to change, all because of Sebastian. He was not your run-of-the-mill employer; he was a breath of fresh air, the kind she had never encountered before.
For the next thirty minutes, we devoured our dinner, laughter mingling with the clinking of cutlery, as we read through a flurry of celebratory messages from our colleagues.
[I got the contract signed, sir!]
[I managed to cut our investment down to 70% of their original demand, Mr. Grimwald! I did it! The contract is a go!]
[We closed a deal here too!]
