"Anne, send Miss Rosy into the office, please," said Leo.

Anne went to bring Rosy. Henry appeared inside the office with a note in his hand. As Henry handed the note to Leo, Leo read the note and informed Henry he would be there in about 30 minutes and to make sure everything would be alright till he reached there.

Anne entered with Rosy; they both stood before Leo’s desk when Leo spoke, "Anne, could you leave us alone for a few minutes?" Anne left them alone and went towards the secretary office.

Leo stood up from his seat, and he was a few yards away from Rosy when he said, "Miss, Rosy Ellis, may I know who is the daughter of one of the top 10 CEOs' in Kosmos City, working for a very small company as ours?" He waved his hand, addressing Rosy to sit on the couch.

when Rosy spoke, "I am just working here. Leo, you know me better about my relationship with the company. I love my family, but I am not the one who can rule a company as big as that, so I was kicked out, but with lots of money. Hahaha, well, so I sold the property I received and invested in your company's stock when they were gradually rising. Yes, I know your company's stocks are not available, but there was a time last year when they were opened up for rich people's."

"I know, the company had to do that as the investments were being held by the usual investors as everyone was trying to claim it as theirs." Leo said

to which Rosy added, "While this was happening, I can't believe the guy who made all this was just working somewhere rather than handling the company; what were you thinking?".

"Rose, you are the one who knows me more than anyone; you know why I left this; you know what Mr. Kawashima was thinking of doing with the business; you know it very well; you know what he was getting into; we both agreed that was the most stupid decision ever." Leo walked towards Rose while talking with a sad expression.

He continued, "Rose, we've been friends since we were children; you know what me and Dard have been through more than anyone; scratch, Dard, you know what I have been through when I had to leave everything; moreover, I had to leave you." Leo was right in front of Rosy when he lifted his hand and put them on her cheeks as he brought her closer to him, and they kissed for a long time.

When Leo moved away, he spoke in a slow voice, "Rosy, how long are we going to hide our feelings? It has been over 15 years now. What do you say we make it official?". Rosy smiled as she slowly moved towards him and affectionately kissed him.

"Yes, we should; we have been avoiding this for a long time, X," she said.

Leo smiled as he kissed her some more and said, "We have been, Black Rose.".

Both chuckled as a knock was heard on the door. "Come in," said Leo.

Anne came in, and she spoke, "Sir, sorry to bother you both. Ms. Emma is here.".

"Ahh, that bitch follows you here as well," said Rosy.

"Send her away; tell her I am in a meeting," said Leo as he chuckled.

He then spoke to Rose, "Rosy, be ready after the meeting; we go to our first date."

"Yes, we will. I am so excited; finally, today will be the best day ever," replied Rose.

As rose was about to leave to get ready, Leo said, "Rosy, take a look at this."

He handed the note given to him by Henry over to Rose; she looked at it, and she was stunned and said, "How is this possible?".

"I don't know," replied Leo. "I have kept them in the waiting room with Henry; I will meet them in about 10 minutes," continued Leo.

"Oh, by the way, I have informed Anne about making you my secretary; you can understand all the work from Anne. Ok, I will see you tonight then.". Leo said as he kissed Rose and left towards the waiting room.
