"Alright, call before coming. I'll wait for you." Ryan glanced at his watch. "I should go now, I have a eting."
"Sure, I'll call you later."
After Ryan left, George chuckled and helplessly shook his head. "This guy is still so smitten with you."
"It's nothing like that," Rachael remarked. "Stop saying weird things."
"Oh co on, even you know that he likes you." George grinned at Andrew as he got up. "Alright, I'll leave you two alone now. I have etings to attend."
Before leaving, he patted Andrew's arms. "Look at you sulking now while I am laughing. This my friend is called ``turn of events." He then left the room without waiting for his reply.
"Don't listen to him," Rachael looked at him. "Whatever he says is a bunch of exaggerated nonsense."
"I didn't mind," Andrew shrugged his shoulders. "So what if you share a twin plant with soone when you don't share anything like that with your husband? Big deal."
Rachael: " "
He then picked up the small indoor plant from the table. "It's cute though, you can keep it on your new table."
"And you can hang that dream catcher on the wall right behind your back," he added. "I am sure it will go well with the interior."
Before she could say sothing, Andrew threw another question at her. "Does he have the sa dream catcher too?"
"Are you seriously being jealous of Ryan?" Rachael sighed and helplessly shook her head.
"Jealous?" he scoffed. "Who is being jealous?"
"And besides there is nothing to be jealous of that guy," he added. "He is obviously shorter than and I am way more good looking."
Rachael: " "
"Co on now, let's help you pack your stuff."

[Afternoon, Collins Corporation]
[Rachael's office]
After finishing her last eting of the day, Rachael slumped on the chair and sighed. She had back to back etings as soon as she ca back from her dad's office.
She then picked up her phone to check her notifications. She pouted her lips and frowned when she did not see any ssage from Andrew.
As soon as they reached office, they had parted ways to complete their day's schedule and she hadn't seen him since then.
Just then Ben arrived. "May I co in madam?"
"Yes." When he ca inside, the first thing she inquired was about Andrew. "Where is your boss?"
"Boss is in a eting," he answered. "I am here to inform you about the eting which has been added to your evening schedule."
"Okay, what is it about?"
"It's regarding the big scale project we are starting with Watson Enterprise," Ben explained. "Representatives from Watson Enterprise will be coming and the boss will attend the eting with you."
"Oh okay, send all the details you have about the project," she instructed him.
"I have already emailed it to you."
"Alright, I'll take a quick look." When She saw what Ben was holding, she inquired, "Is that new?"
"Oh this?" he quickly kept it on her table. "Boss sent this for you."
"For ?" Rachael chuckled as she lifted the cute plant in her hand.
It was a red moon cactus in a small black pot with the initials 'Mrs. Collins' written on it.
"When did he get it?" She found it cute as well as surprising at the sa ti.
"He drove over after his morning eting to get it." Ben glanced at his watch. "Madam I have to go now."
After he left, Rachael took a picture of the plant and sent it to Andrew.
[Rachael: Thank you, Mr. Collins ♥]
After a few minutes, he ssaged her back.
[Andrew: (Thumbs up)]
His brief response made her chuckle.
[Rachael: Is my handso husband still jealous?]
[Andrew: Not jealous]
[R: Really?]
[A: (Thumbs up)]
Thinking for a while, she took a selfie and sent it to him.
[R: Compensating with a cute picture now. The real compensation is on the way (wink emoji)]
...
[eting room]
Andrew smiled as soon as he saw the selfie he received from his wife. She had a cute pout in her lips which made her look adorable.
The fact that Rachael shared an identical thing with soone else didn't bother him but he couldn't shrug off the feeling. He also wanted them to have a twinning thing too.
Without wasting any ti, he drove to the nearest store and grabbed two identical red moon cactus indoor plants. He even got a customised black pot with their initials 'Mr. Collins' and 'Mrs. Collins' written on it.
Seeing that their boss was busy doing sothing, the presenter stopped midway. Not knowing whether to continue or not, he nervously looked at his supervisor who was equally confused.
When Ben entered the room, everyone looked at him except for Andrew who was still staring at the screen.
With zero clue of what was going on, Ben frowned at everyone. He didn;t understand why he was getting all the attention as soon as he stepped in.
After a few seconds, when he finally managed to analyse and understand the situation, he quickly approached Andrew.
"Boss?" He called him out in a relatively lower voice.
When Andrew looked at him, he said, "The eting…?"
Andrew kept his phone on the table and looked at the presenter. "Why did you stop?" Before the employee could respond, he gestured him to continue.
After the eting, the head of the event manager approached Andrew.
"Boss, I wanted to talk to you about the upcoming company Gala next month."
"Wait a second—" Andrew looked at Ben. "What is Rachael doing?"
"Madam is in her office."
"Did she finish all her etings?" When Ben nodded, he looked at the event manager. "Go and look for Rachael after so ti. Run everything through her and take suggestions. She will be able to help you better than ."
"Okay boss."
...
[Rachael's Office]
As per Andrew's instruction, the event manager approaches Rachel with the tentative plan his team had prepared.
Looking at the sample pictures, Rachael frowned, "I like your idea but why is everything so dull?"
The company Gala was set to be organised at the Jaxus Hall, which was well known for its extravagant event halls, where many big scale events were organised.
When the manager did not say anything, she added, "The colours which you have selected are very neutral and more on the darker side. It's really not giving any party vibes."
The colours that dominated almost all the sample pictures were grey, black and all shades of two colours combined. Even the curtains were dull colored.
"That—" The manager awkwardly cleared his throat. "Boss doesn't like bright colours so—"
"So it's him?" Rachael sighed and helplessly shook her head. "I should have guessed earlier."
"Anyway, we can't continue this way," she remarked. "People who attend the Gala should get cheerful vibes and the decoration plays a major role in it."
She then handed the photos back to him. "Change everything and co with a new plan. Don't feel restricted with the colours or other choices, be as innovative and creative as you can."
After giving a few more instruction to the manager, Rachael walked out of her office along with him.
…..
[Andrew's office]
When she entered the office, Andrew was nowhere to be seen.
Thinking he might co soon, she walked towards his desk and sat on his chair.
Just then, her eyes landed on a familiar structure.
She chuckled and picked up the red moon cactus with the initials 'Mr. Collins' written on it.
He didn't just get a plant for her but also the exact sa one for himself.
Could her husband be any cuter?
"Are you planning to steal my new plant?" Andrew tossed his blazer on the couch before approaching Rachael as he loosened his tie.
"Is it weird that I want both of them on the table?" She sighed as she carefully examined the cute plant.
"Well—" He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. He then sat on the chair and made her sit on his seat. "Three plants might make your table look like a nursery, don't you think?"
"Hubby—" she cupped his face. "Do you want to bring that plant here and keep it on your table? Because if you ntion it one more ti, I am really gonna do it."
"No need, you can keep it." He placed his hand on hers. "I know it's special to you."
"And how exactly do you know that?" She raised her brows.
"Didn't you buy that plant during your first business trip which was your first success after joining the company?"
Rachael widened her eyes in shock. "How do you—?"
She had indeed bought the plant to always rember the first business deal she had cracked for the company.
He smiled and kissed the back of hand. "Why are you so surprised? I just happen to know the important events of my wife's life before I beca an official part of it."
