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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop1yR35Hm1
A no-nonsense man.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw7P0OqDPE
A perfectionist.

Womanizer.

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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2wE3rU6HH
"You're late"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9D8SN4vE4
"Blame it on Bells. Did Lorraine ask of me?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkuI92Fplk
"You know she did. Told her you went to deliver something," Jen whispered so others wouldn't hear.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7etRbXgbLc
"Thanks, Jen. You're the absolute best."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoVXF79Lto
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29NOfZQ9sJ
"Damn bitch, are you living under a rock? The whole department knows about this already. Let me tell you, that man is fiiiinnneeeeee"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDvh13Dtfm
"Fine is an understatement. He's like a dark angel of the night" Ally, another coworker, chimed in from behind.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0epNRY1WbC
"Ally.. what does that even mean..." Jen asked
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HTIALJVkd
"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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPnE2Qpcz0
Bibiana and Jennifer grimaced.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB4dTfyoQv
"Eww, Christa. You're in the office" Jennifer said.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3qrsy5PW7
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?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYbrBByObg
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN82IygH7p7
"Then I'm meant to be a runway model" Bibiana said in the midst of her laughter
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBVXBzRLPi
"No, you're not"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdPSHRn4zY
She looked at Christa, and sighed "Exactly"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6GWMkDWDm
"Haha... not funny. Oh! and from what I heard, he's been in Paris for some years handling Moreau Watches-"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2V7EPrT75
"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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE8PLpph8A
"Yes. You know that family is stinkingly wealthy. Old money, I tell you." Christa looked really excited, a contrast to how Bibiana felt.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3upB8EKG5y
"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"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dx10w9fEG
"Ughh, Saint Bibi. Relax, he's not that bad. People just don't work hard these days" Christa rolled her eyes.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3jxsKhCLf
"Ah, so it is true. You want coffee?" She turned to Jennifer as she stood up.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeXGd51MCe
"Yes, please. Black."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTotGXO6N5S
"Ooh... just how I like my men. Could you get one for me too, darling. Pretty please?" Christa pouted her heavily filled lips.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5mFvapwAw
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR9KyjzU7b
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLiBXgMQaV
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg82Gf7N5c
The calm of her thoughts was shattered by the intercom's sharp voice.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eRvPMAYKD
"Attention, all staff members, please proceed to the meeting room for an important briefing. Immediately."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKwrXIgJzz
She quickly put the cups in the coffee warmer and rushed out, joining the stream of colleagues hurrying towards the meeting room.
