Chapter 43: Just Okay?
Chapter 43
Amelia adjusted the stack of documents in her hand and started placing them carefully on the glossy boardroom table. Her lips were pressed together as her brows quirked together in quiet concentration, humming a soft tune under her breath as she placed each file where it belonged.
She had received a notification early today that there would be a meeting with some investors and she’d be assigned to arrange the boardroom.
She was setting up for the upcoming board meeting, ensuring everything looked perfect—as always. The room was silent except for the sound of paper shuffling and her shoes tapping lightly against the floor.
"No slip today, Ms. Og of Ogs?" Mathew called out jokingly as he walked into the room with his laptop balanced on one arm. His mouth already curled into a teasing grin.
Amelia straightened up and turned around slowly, her eyes narrowing in mock annoyance. "Not yet," she muttered, rolling her eyes playfully. "Just because I slipped twice doesn’t mean I’ll always slip," she shot back.
Mathew chuckled softly as he walked toward the table. "Mm-hmm," he hummed, raising a brow in wonder. At that moment, Amelia wobbled for half a second while positioning a chair.
She stilled, her eyes widened in shock. "I’m not always like this," she injected quickly, "I swear," she mumbled as her cheeks slightly flushed in embarrassment.
"Sure," Mathew replied, nodding slowly but knowing that she just proved his point. She nearly slipped there if not because of the table she quickly held on.
"God," Amelia face-palmed herself for her rotten luck when it came to her boss seeing her in her unstable moment.
"I said nothing," Mathew playfully raised his hands.
