After weeks of preparation, the event has arrived.

Clad in our best gowns and suits for the men, we strutted down the mini-runway when we were formally introduced.

It was a beautiful night.

The company rented a place for this specific event and everybody was dolled up.

"Hello and good evening, everyone! I am Steven Graffin.." Steven, from Tech Department, announced and his partner, Enola Grace, smiled on cue.

"And, I am Enola Grace." Enola said.

"Your hosts for tonight." They both said and us, employees, applauded in response.

"Everybody looks so dashing in all their extravagant dresses and suits. And my partner looks equally amazing, too." Steven said, winking at her.

Enola blushed and gave him a light pat on the arm at the stage.

"Thank you for that compliment, partner. But, I always look good in everything I wear!" Enola exclaimed which earned excited giggles from everyone.

"Oh, well, let's not keep the crowd waiting. Let us introduce our gorgeous, ever hardworking and very amicable CEO, Mister Victor Ventura." Steven said and we all applauded again when Sir Valentine stepped up the stage to the podium.

"Gosh, Des! Tell me, are we really seeing the Boss of all Bosses tonight?" Lui asked in astonishment as we stared at our young-looking CEO.

"Better believe it, girl." I whispered. "Looks like he's married so stop dreaming."

Rem let out a chuckle beside me while I felt Leonard's gaze boring into mine.

I instantly felt conscious as I tucked my hair behind my ears.

"Thank you for those nice words, Steven and Enola." Sir Ventura grinned at them before facing us.
"Hello and good evening, everyone! I am so delighted to see you once again in your best attires. But I am more delighted to see my soon-to-be better half, Serena, looking splendid in her red gown. Hello, love."

Our team was more than speechless with that announcement.

It didn't even occur to us that our Chief Editor is bound to be married to our CEO!

We all turned to face her as she blushed and gave us all a peace sign with her hands.

And, indeed, there was an engagement ring on her left finger!

Wow. This was so unexpected!

"I'll explain it to you guys, later." Miss Serena whispered at us and we just nodded.

"This is so unbelievable, Des! I did not expect Miss Serena is this big!" Lui whispered behind me and I nodded in agreement.

After calling the Head of Logistics Department, she presented the success of this year's sales of both our lifestyle magazine and the events planning team.

What got our attention and had us in utter silence and disbelief was the launching and presentation of our February issue of The Elite and its website counterpart.

I was in shock as we watched all our photos both during our preparations and our behind the scenes goofing reactions.

We all look drained and wasted.

There were photos of us almost pulling each other's hairs out because of an issue we cannot seem to settle with.

There were even some photos were most were bent over on their desks because of exhaustion.

Some photos took were us enjoying our lunch and dinner out after quite some time before returning to our office.

Our hairs and faces were a mess but we could see our contented and accomplished smiles when we looked at the final print which was shown on the big screen.

More photos of our feature issues were highlighted on the screen.

But then again, our Chief Editor, has some knack of naughtiness in her.

After our Chinese New Year special was projected, most of the audience in this venue cooed when they saw us on the pages.

My eyes widened.

My bickering face with Leonard was flashed on the screen!

It seems as if it was taken at the pantry during one of my coffee breaks!

Another photo of me and Leonard was shown as we exchange banters over one of our meetings.

But two photos got our attention.

One was inside the pantry where Leonard gave me a cube ice for my tongue which stung because of the hot coffee that I forgot to blew on before drinking it.

And the other was during the recent camp-out at the pantry where he blew on my eyes which I had accidently caught a powder from the fries we shared.

Leonard was bending over to blew it so from the angle behind him, it looked like he was kissing me!

"Oh. My. God. Are you and Leonard dating?" Lui asked bewildered.

All the blood rushed to my face in embarrassment.

I was about to tell them that that was all a misunderstanding but my words remained unsaid when we saw Lui and Rem on screen this time.

I almost laughed out loud when I saw them quarreling on photo.

Lui had her arms over Rem's neck probably because he has pissed her off again.

Next photo was when Rem playfully put a fake spider on Lui's neck while she was asleep on her chair with her mouth half opened.

"Oh. My. God. Was that me? And that douchebag?" Lui asked again almost frustratingly.

What got our attention again was the succeeding photos of them.

On the first photo, Rem was seated beside Lui as they decide on the layout of the article.

Both were too engrossed with the topic that they were sitting too close with one another.

Another shot was when Lui unconsciously handed Rem a slice of the cake which we all ordered from a bakeshop for our dessert and sat beside him.

It looked like they were getting cozy already!

Me and Lui glanced at each other in utter shock.

Who was behind all this?!

How come we didn't feel like we were being framed?

How come did everything look all so natural?

Was it really Miss Serena's idea??

I saw Leonard and Rem gave Miss Serena a look of I don't know what.

But me and Lui were sure of one thing.

We were both doomed!

The whole world will see the guys' faces as our boyfriends and it would mean that we aren't single anymore!

What was even unbelievable was the guys did not even seem to mind!

Its as if they were both fine with us being their girlfriends!

Like, hello?

The Valentine's theme was archenemies falling for each other?

Then it all dawned on me.

Oh.

My.

God.

We all fit the description!

So, that was the whole point all along!

Leonard?

As my boyfriend?

Really?

Seriously?

Maybe, it doesn't sound so bad, after all.
