@siyaswrites: CH 40-41 The ballroom shimmered beneath a canopy of crystal chandeliers. Gold and ivory draped every corner of the venue, while an orchestra tuned their instruments near the stage. Executives, investors, politicians, and business partners filled the hall, exchanging greetings over glasses of champagne. It was Lalee Enterprise's biggest night of the year. And for the first time... Lena wasn't thinking about the event. She was looking for someone. "Ms. Schuett." A board member approached her. "Congratulations on another successful quarter." "Thank you." Another handshake. Another conversation. Another photograph. Lena responded with practiced professionalism, but her eyes wandered around the ballroom between every exchange. She still hadn't seen Miu. "... Where is she?" Meanwhile... Outside the ballroom doors, Miu stood frozen. She stared at her reflection one last time. The emerald gown fit perfectly. The soft fabric flowed elegantly with every movement, and the earrings caught the warm light without being overwhelming. She looked nothing like the exhausted woman who spent her days buried in schedules and paperwork. "You clean up nicely." Ginny appeared beside her with a smile. "You scared me." "Sorry." Ginny straightened one side of Miu's dress. "You look beautiful." Miu laughed shyly. "I still think this is too much." "It isn't." Ginny stepped back to admire her. "Trust me." "When Lena sees you..." Miu looked up. "What?" Ginny only smiled. "You'll understand." Inside the ballroom... The orchestra began playing. The host stepped onto the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us tonight..." The program officially began. An hour later... Dinner concluded. Awards were presented. Speeches were delivered. Everything unfolded exactly as planned. Then came the announcement. "And now..." "Our annual opening dance." A soft murmur spread across the room. Lena quietly closed her eyes. "... Here we go." The emcee continued. "We would like to invite Ms. Lena Schuett, CEO of Lalee Enterprise..." Lena stood. "And her executive assistant, Ms. Miu Natsha." The ballroom applauded. Miu looked toward Lena from across the room. Their eyes met. Lena offered the smallest nod. Miu smiled. Then walked toward her. Every conversation in the ballroom seemed to pause as they met in the center of the dance floor. "You look..." Lena stopped herself. Miu tilted her head. "... What?" "Beautiful." "Very?" Miu teased. "The prettiest." The compliment came quietly. Honestly. Without hesitation. For a moment... Miu forgot there were hundreds of people watching. "Mhm... Thank you." She looked at Lena from head to toe. "You don't look bad yourself." "I know." Miu laughed. "There she is..." "The Ice Queen." The music began. Lena extended her hand. "This time..." She smiled ever so slightly. "Try not to let me step on your feet." Miu placed her hand in Lena's. "I make no promises." They moved together with surprising ease. The practice sessions had worked. Every step felt natural. Every turn effortless. Lena had expected to count the beats in her head. Instead... She found herself watching Miu smile. "You missed the turn." Miu whispered. "I know." "No, you actually missed it." Lena glanced down. "... I did." "You were looking at me." "I was." Miu's heartbeat stumbled. "You're making this difficult." "I've been hearing that ever since." "But never from you." check com sec for continuation! #lenamiu #wlw #miulena #fyp #wattpad

💫8: A knock echoed through the office.
Both of them let go so quickly it was almost comical.
"Come in."
Ginny entered carrying several contracts.
"... Morning."
"Morning."
She looked between them.
Something felt...
Different.
She couldn't explain it.
Only that the air inside the office seemed lighter.
She placed the files on Lena's desk.
"I'll need these signed before noon."
"I'll review them."
Ginny nodded before looking toward Miu.
"Coffee later?"
Miu smiled.
"Sure."
"Great."
She left.
The door closed.
Lena's smile disappeared.
"... Coffee?"
Miu blinked.
"With Ginny."
"... Yes?"
"When?"
"Probably during our break."
"... Oh."
Miu stared at her for a second.
Then...
A grin slowly spread across her face.
"Are you... jealous?"
"No."
"... Lena."
"I'm not."
"You answered too quickly."
"I answered accurately."
Miu folded her arms.
"Then look me in the eyes and say it."
Lena did exactly that.
"I'm not jealous."
Miu held her gaze for three long seconds.
Then laughed.
"You're... adorable!"
Lena looked horrified.
"Don't ever call me that again..."
"I absolutely will."
"I'm the CEO."
"And?"
"CEOs aren't... adorable."
Miu stepped a little closer, lowering her voice.
"You are."
Lena looked away first.
"... This conversation is over."
"It isn't."
"It is."
"It really isn't."
Miu couldn't stop smiling.
She had discovered something no one else in the company knew.
The fastest way to fluster Lena Lorena Shuett...
Wasn't arguing with her.
It was calling her cute.

💫9: That afternoon, the executive floor returned to its usual rhythm.
Meetings.
Phone calls.
Emails.
Deadlines.
To everyone else...
Nothing had changed.
Yet every so often...
Lena would step out of her office for no particular reason.
Just long enough to catch Miu's eye.
Miu would look up from her work.
Their gazes would meet.
A tiny smile would pass between them.
Then they'd return to work as though nothing had happened.
It became a silent game.
One only the two of them understood.
As the office emptied that evening, Lena walked toward Miu's desk.
"Finished?"
Miu nodded.
"I am."
"Good."
Lena glanced toward the elevators to make sure no one was nearby.
Then, under the desk where no one could see...
She gently hooked her little finger around Miu's.
Just for a second.
No words.
No grand gesture.
Just a tiny, secret promise.
Miu looked down at their hands before looking back up.
"You know..."
"What?"
"I think you're getting bolder."
Lena's lips curved into a small smile.
"Blame my... girlfriend."
Miu's breath caught.
"Your... girlfriend?"
Lena looked at her with the softest expression she'd ever worn.
"If... she'll have me."
Miu didn't answer with words.
She squeezed Lena's hand once.
Warmly.
Tenderly.
The answer was more than enough.

💫3: "You know..."
Miu finally said.
"I've never seen you smile this much."
Lena let out a soft laugh.
"... Neither have I."
"I think your employees might faint on Monday."
"They'll recover."
"I hope so."
"They're resilient."
A gentle breeze swept across the balcony.
A loose strand of hair fell across Miu's face.
Without thinking...
Lena reached up.
Her fingertips carefully tucked it behind Miu's ear.
The gesture was so natural...
She didn't realize what she'd done until her hand lingered.
Miu looked up.
Their faces were closer than either of them intended.
"... Lena."
It wasn't a warning.
It wasn't fear.
It was simply her name.
Spoken with a tenderness Lena had never heard before.
Lena searched Miu's eyes.
"I'm tired of pretending."
Miu's breath caught.
"Pretending... what?"
"That you don't affect me."
The words were barely above a whisper.
"I wait for you every morning."
"I notice when you skip meals."
"I know when you're forcing a smile."
She gave a small, almost helpless laugh.
"And I don't know when that became normal."
Miu felt her heart pounding against her ribs.
"It.. scares me."
"What does?"
"How much I've started looking for you, too."
Neither of them moved.
Neither of them looked away.
Lena lifted her hand slowly.
Not to pull Miu closer.
Just to gently cup her cheek.
She leaned into Lena's touch.
Her fingertips lingered against Miu's cheek.
Warm.
Careful.
Almost hesitant.
"May I?" Lena asked quietly.
Miu searched Lena's eyes.
For the first time since they'd met...
There was no pride.
No sharp remarks.
No walls.
Only vulnerability.
A small smile curved onto Miu's lips.
"... You don't have to ask."
The words settled between them like a promise.
Lena exhaled slowly, as though she'd been holding that breath for months.
She leaned in.
Not hurriedly.
Not impulsively.
Giving Miu every chance to change her mind.
She never did.
When their lips finally met...
The world became impossibly quiet.
The kiss was gentle, like they were both trying to memorize a moment they'd waited far too long to have.

💫7: Miu followed Lena into the CEO's office with the day's itinerary.
She placed the folder neatly on the desk.
"Your first meeting starts at nine."
Lena nodded.
"You remembered to schedule lunch."
"You usually forget."
"And you?"
"I..."
Miu smiled sheepishly.
"I remembered because you told me to."
Lena looked up.
"... Good."
Silence settled between them.
A comfortable one.
Neither seemed eager to end it.
"Miu..."
"Hm?"
Lena hesitated.
"I've been thinking."
"That sounds dangerous."
"It usually is."
Miu laughed.
"What about?"
"Last night."
The room became noticeably quieter.
Miu lowered her voice.
"... Me too."
Lena slowly stood from her chair and walked around her desk.
She stopped only when she was standing in front of Miu.
Close enough to see the faint blush still lingering on her cheeks.
"So..."
Miu asked.
"Are we going to pretend nothing happened?"
Lena shook her head.
"I don't want to."
"I don't either."
"Then... what are we?"
Miu looked down for a second before meeting Lena's eyes again.
"I was hoping..."
She smiled softly.
"You'd answer that."
Lena let out a quiet laugh.
"For someone so brave..."
"You're surprisingly shy."
"Only with you."
That answer made Lena's heart skip.
She reached out carefully, brushing the back of her fingers against Miu's hand.
Not holding it.
Just asking.
Miu understood.
She slipped her hand into Lena's.
Their fingers intertwined beneath the edge of the desk, hidden from the glass walls outside.
"... I'd like us to try."
Lena said.
"I'm not good at this."
"I know."
"I've never..."
She stopped herself.
"I know."
Miu answered gently.
"You don't have to explain."
"I'll probably make mistakes."
"So will I."
"I can be difficult."
"You already are."
Lena laughed.
"You still said yes."
"I still will."
For the first time...
Lena realized relationships weren't built from perfect words.
Sometimes...
They were built from two imperfect people choosing each other anyway.

💫4: Miu's fingers slowly found the lapel of Lena's suit, lightly holding onto the fabric as if grounding herself.
Lena smiled faintly against the kiss.
That tiny smile made Miu's heart race.
When they separated...
It was only by a breath.
Neither of them opened their eyes.
Their foreheads rested together, their breathing uneven from nothing more than the emotions they could no longer hide.
"So this is what you've been hiding," Miu whispered with a soft laugh.
Lena let out a quiet chuckle.
"I've been trying not to do that for weeks."
"Weeks?"
"I lost count."
Miu finally opened her eyes.
"... Good."
Lena frowned slightly.
"Good?"
"Because I almost kissed you after our dance."
That confession caught Lena completely off guard.
"You did?"
"I talked myself out of it."
"... Why?"
"Because I thought you'd regret it."
Lena's thumb gently brushed across Miu's cheek.
"The only thing I'd regret..."
She paused, her gaze softening.
"Would've been letting you walk away tonight without telling you."
Miu smiled, her eyes glistening beneath the balcony lights.
"... You're unfair."
"Hmm."
Miu laughed quietly and shook her head.
"You really have to stop making me fall for you."
Lena's smile grew warmer.
"I think it's too late for both of us."
Miu answered by closing the small distance between them once more.
This time...
She kissed Lena first.
It lasted a few seconds longer than the first.
Still gentle.
Still unhurried.
But with none of the uncertainty that had existed moments before.
When they finally pulled away, Lena rested her forehead against Miu's again.
"Can I... hold your hand now," she asked softly, "without pretending it's an accident?"
Miu intertwined their fingers with hers.
"... You never had to pretend."
Miu laughed first.
".So..."
"What now?"
Lena smiled-a real one.
"I have absolutely no idea."
Miu slipped her hand into Lena's.
"Then let's figure it out together."
Lena intertwined their fingers.
"... Together."

💫5: Behind the ballroom doors, unnoticed by the two of them, Bam walked past with a stack of folders.
She stopped.
Saw their joined hands through the glass.
Her eyes grew wide.
She quietly turned around.
"Nope..."
"I didn't see anything."
"... Definitely didn't see anything."
She hurried away with the biggest grin she'd worn all year.
For the first time since they had met...
They were no longer enemies.
No longer simply a CEO and her assistant.
They were standing at the beginning of something neither of them had expected-
And neither of them wanted to walk away.

💫6: Neither of them slept well.
Not because of regret.
Because every time they closed their eyes...
They remembered the balcony.
The confession.
The kiss.
The way their hands had fit together so naturally.
Lena arrived at the office earlier than usual.
She wasn't reviewing contracts.
She wasn't preparing for meetings.
She was simply...
Waiting.
Every sound from the elevator made her look up.
Every footstep caught her attention.
At exactly 8:27...
The elevator doors slid open.
Miu stepped out.
The moment their eyes met...
Both of them smiled.
Not the polite smiles they wore for everyone else.
The kind that happened before either of them could stop it.
"... Morning."
Miu greeted softly.
"Good morning."
Lena answered just as quietly.
Neither mentioned last night.
Neither had to.
Bam walked out of Accounting carrying a stack of folders.
She looked at Lena.
Then at Miu.
Then back at Lena.
"Uh..."
Jayna appeared beside her.
"What?"
Bam lowered her voice.
"Tell me they don't look different."
Jayna observed them for a few seconds.
"... They do."
"They're smiling."
"They've smiled before."
"Not like that."

💫2: The orchestra shifted into a slower melody.
Their hands remained linked.
Lena's hand rested gently at Miu's waist.
Closer than before.
Not because the choreography demanded it.
Because neither of them seemed eager to create distance.
The applause around them slowly faded into background noise.
It was as if the ballroom had disappeared.
Leaving only the two of them.
When the final note echoed through the hall, applause erupted.
People stood.
Some even whistled.
Bam clapped so enthusiastically that Jayna had to pull her back into her seat.
"They're insane together," Bam whispered.
Jayna smiled.
"... They don't even realize it."
Ginny watched them with a quiet smile.
"They're almost there."
The gala continued.
Guests gathered around Lena for conversations and photographs.
Miu handled introductions with her usual grace, remaining only a few steps away whenever Lena needed her.
Hours passed.
By the time the last investors left...
It was nearly midnight.
The ballroom had emptied considerably.
Staff members began clearing tables.
The orchestra packed away their instruments.
Miu stepped onto the balcony for a breath of fresh air.
Bangkok stretched endlessly before her, glittering beneath the night sky.
"... Hiding?"
Lena's voice came from behind.
Miu smiled without turning around.
"Taking a break."
"You deserve one."
"So do you."
Lena joined her at the railing.
Neither of them spoke for a while.
The silence wasn't awkward.
It had become familiar.
Comfortable.
