The topic of discussion was Régis Moreau, the son of Pierre Moreau, the company's owner. He was rumored to be taking over the reins of Moreau Tech from his father, and whispers about his reputation were circulating.

Ruthless.

A no-nonsense man.

A perfectionist.

She walked past clusters of employees who were huddled together, their voices hushed, and the expressions of the men were tense, while those of the women were tense and... excited.
Apparently, Mr. Régis was an Adonis as well. Either way, it was clear that the impending transition was a matter of concern for many within the company.

As she approached her computer, her friend and fellow colleague, Jennifer, grinned widely at her.

"You're late"

"Blame it on Bells. Did Lorraine ask of me?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppOrk9cD6O
"You know she did. Told her you went to deliver something," Jen whispered so others wouldn't hear.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh3Vd8mJT2
"Thanks, Jen. You're the absolute best."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbCHD0KhRs
She set her stuff in place and switched on her computer, ready to start the day's work.
She then asked absentmindedly, "Hey, I'm hearing rumors about new management coming in or something... What the hell is going on?"

Christa, the queen of gossip whose workstation was near theirs, heard her and immediately slid her chair across theirs.

"Damn bitch, are you living under a rock? The whole department knows about this already. Let me tell you, that man is fiiiinnneeeeee"

"Fine is an understatement. He's like a dark angel of the night" Ally, another coworker, chimed in from behind.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCYVjGGDd5
"Ally.. what does that even mean..." Jen asked
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyWOMErz0m
"And, girls, that jawline. Damn. He's tall, so tall and strong. Ridiculously beautiful and so darn fit. His face got that Greek sex god vibe going you know... and it just makes me wanna rrrhhhhh..."
Christa ran her hands all over her body and slowly grinded her butt on her chair in a sexually suggestive manner, then winked at them.

Bibiana and Jennifer grimaced.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKW7XhT0ST
"Eww, Christa. You're in the office" Jennifer said.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxbNh7WtsC
Christa just flipped her wavy locks, before continuing, "What? I can't help that I'm attracted to him. We're meant to be! Can't you see?"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhauh24d1HX
Bibiana didn't know when she burst out laughing, making Jen and Ally join her.
Christa raised a perfectly shaped brow at the commotion in front of her.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLMlNpBb3v
"Then I'm meant to be a runway model" Bibiana said in the midst of her laughter
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yk9uF5QBa
"No, you're not"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzt5I40N7L
She looked at Christa, and sighed "Exactly"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFIj6wP3k6
"Haha... not funny. Oh! and from what I heard, he's been in Paris for some years handling Moreau Watches-"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgkFNQuJt9
"Moreau Watches? Like THE Moreau Watches? Taylor Swift and so many A-list celebrities modeled for them some time back. One of the biggest in the watch industry," Jennifer interrupted her.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglqrjNdQBV
"Yes. You know that family is stinkingly wealthy. Old money, I tell you." Christa looked really excited, a contrast to how Bibiana felt.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyKlGnMam5
"Alright, maybe we should forget about carnal aesthetics and focus on serious matters. I heard he is tough to deal. Smells like trouble if you ask me"
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSXMU4z9It
"Ughh, Saint Bibi. Relax, he's not that bad. People just don't work hard these days" Christa rolled her eyes.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBaZfUZcmc
"Ah, so it is true. You want coffee?" She turned to Jennifer as she stood up.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgjyWIadKe
"Yes, please. Black."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b5vNYbETQ
"Ooh... just how I like my men. Could you get one for me too, darling. Pretty please?" Christa pouted her heavily filled lips.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrcFQxIVMR
Bibiana wondered how she hasn't died from being with someone like Christa every weekday.
The blonde beauty amazed her every day with the amount of obscenities that came out of her mouth. She shook her head and smiled at her colleagues in passing.

As she waited for the coffee to brew in the office kitchenette, Bibiana leaned against the cool glass wall, lost in thought. The news of the impending shift in management had set the entire company abuzz.
She couldn't help but wonder how this transition would affect the dynamics at Moreau Tech.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRU7NJsceh
Moreau Tech was a place where dreams were cultivated and where the future was shaped with every line of code, every piece of hardware, and every innovative idea.
Everyone wanted to work at Moreau Tech, but it was so hard to even get an interview date. So one could imagine her disbelief when she got accepted for an interview after waiting for months, and finally employed.
She was ecstatic.

She had joined as an assistant researcher, and her dedication and hard work paid off. She had been promoted to a full researcher, and also snagged the job of secretary to the Research Manager, Mrs. Anna, after her previous secretary had unfortunately died in an accident. The extra salary really helped.

The calm of her thoughts was shattered by the intercom's sharp voice.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXMcFudGYu
"Attention, all staff members, please proceed to the meeting room for an important briefing. Immediately."
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeZjpc5OUX
She quickly put the cups in the coffee warmer and rushed out, joining the stream of colleagues hurrying towards the meeting room.
