~ At Sy Corp Main Office ~

After the meeting, Alveena and Clifford faced each other inside his office.

"I didn\'t expect that you would support my decision about removing Mr. Chun as Finance Director. Why did you do that?" Alveena said, looking at Clifford suspiciously.

Clifford shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, I have to remove him to promote you. From now on, you will become the New Finance Director of the Sy Corp."

"What??? How can you decide that without even consulting me? I never say that I want to be a director! I\'m already fine with my position as Program Manager." Alveena opposed Clifford\'s decision.

"You have no choice but to accept this. Our father already approved my decision together with the other directors. It\'s your time to step up as the daughter of Sy and heiress of the Sy Corp."

"Aside from that, it will be embarrassing for the Cullens family if their future daughter-in-law is only a Program Manager of her own company so I am promoting you now to become a Finance Director."

Alveena looked daggers at her brother. Clifford was bringing up her arranged marriage with Brandon Cullens. She hated her brother more.

"Can\'t you just mind your own business! Find a girl and marry. Dad and Mom told me that you were dating a girl. Bring her home and propose to her already so that our parents will stop setting me up with Brandon!"

Clifford just raised his eyebrow. He couldn\'t tell Alveena that his rumored girlfriend was Lillie Davis, the wife of Tristan Davis.

Seeing the attitude of his sister, he knew that Alveena might ruin his plan if she learned that he was planning something to ruin the marriage of Tristan and Zhen-Zhen.

"Don\'t change the topic Alveena. Whether you like it or not, you are now our Finance Director. You can start moving your things to your new office. You can also do some changes in design or arrangement inside your office."

"I hope you can apply what you have learned from the Heavenly Star Enterprise after working with their Finance Director."

Alveena\'s mood became gloomy at the mention of Heavenly Star and Finance Director. Because of that, she remembered Andrew again.

It has only been two days without seeing him but she was already missing him so badly. She received lots of missed calls from him.

She tried her best to ignore him. Her fingers were itching to press the answer button whenever his caller ID would pop up on her phone screen. Fortunately, her self-control was strong enough to avoid answering his calls.

Alveena was about to leave her brother\'s office when Clifford spoke again.

"Oh, one more thing before you leave… I just want to inform you that you will be attending a Five-Day Conference one week from now. All the finance directors of the top companies are invited so you must prepare for this National Conference and represent the Sy Corp."

Alveena\'s eyes widened in disbelief. If she would attend this conference then there would be a great chance that she would meet Andrew during the event.

"No. I can\'t attend this event. Just let the other veteran directors attend this conference!"

Clifford massaged his temples. He felt like having a headache because of Alveena\'s stubbornness.

"Alveena, stop opposing me already! I\'m tired of arguing with you for a whole day! Didn\'t you hear me? This is a conference for all finance directors. Who is in the right mind to send someone who is not even a finance director to this event?"

"I don\'t wanna hear another objection from you. Go now and fix your things," Clifford had already reached his limits today. He lost his remaining patience with Alveenas\'s stubbornness.

Alveena just glared at him before marching out of his office. She became problematic once more upon hearing the conference.

She didn\'t know how long she could avoid Andrew. He might also learn her true identity during that conference. She didn\'t know how she would face him and deal with him after what happened to them.

She felt embarrassed already for confessing her feelings to someone who was already engaged. She was hurt but she didn\'t regret loving Andrew. For her, it was still the best feeling she had experienced so far.

"What should I do now? Everything will be so awkward between Andrew and me. But… part of me still wants to see him. I missed Mr. Grumpy already. I wonder what he is doing right now." Alveena sighed deeply, still thinking about Andrew.

*****

When Alveena left his office, Clifford\'s assistant, Dexter, entered, holding a pile of documents. He saw Clifford scanning some photos on his phone. His eyes caught a glimpse of Zhen-Zhen\'s figure among those pictures.

Dexter\'s eyes widened when he saw a particular photo. He immediately looked away and cleared his throat to catch Clifford\'s attention. He was so engrossed with watching those photos that he failed to notice Dexter\'s arrival.

"Sir, these are the files you asked me to bring."

"Alright, just put it down there."

Dexter put down the documents on the side corner of his table. He wanted to ask Clifford about the photo he had just seen but he was hesitating. He was afraid that Clifford might get mad at him. He didn\'t mean to spy on him or something. He just accidentally saw it.

"Do you have something else to say? Why are you looking at me like that?" Clifford asked Dexter who was still standing in front of his table with complicated emotions on his face.

Dexter bit his lower lip and bowed his head immediately as he was feeling guilty. He saw something he was not supposed to see.

"I\'m sorry, sir! I-I accidentally saw the pictures on your phone…" Dexter apologized with his anxious voice.

Clifford\'s eyebrows were drawn together upon hearing that. A cold glint flashed through his eyes.

"Just forget about it. Pretend that you didn\'t see anything. Is that clear?" Clifford said with his stern cold voice.

"Y-Yes, sir! I didn\'t see anything."
