Chapter 358: The new Creative Director

358 The new Creative Director

The moment Akira entered the office, everyone turned their heads to cross-check again if that was her for real.

She was wearing a floral print peach dress and white sneakers to the office.

Not only her attire, but her entire demeanor was different today. As she crossed them and entered her cabin, they all stood stupified.

"Wait, that was really her?"

"Did I just see her smiling as she was checking her phone?", mumbled Kirk.

"That must be a hell of a funny meme. It made her smile man. I wonder what that meme was", Simon said and sat back.

"Why do you think it was a meme? Could have been a joke?", asked Kirk.

"Forget all that guys, did you see her clothes", chimed Brian.

"Something is different about her today. She looks like in a good mood today. Hope she increases our bonuses and gives us free coffee", joked Kirk.

"For that to happen, you need to stop noticing every little thing happening around you and focus on the new project that's upcoming", said David and entered the Graphic team area.

"You always come to dampen our mood or what? Or did she specifically send you here to kill our spirits", mocked Simon as only he had the capacity to mess with David, given that he was also an old and loyal employee of Delphie like him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel?faster updates, better experience?Please click for visiting.

"Aren't you getting more and more creative these days Simon?", said David and smiled.

"Oh, come on", said Simon and swiveled back towards his monitor.

"I seriously don't understand why the Creative Director is getting pissed for being called as creative", said David and smiled.

"Wait, what? What did you just say?", Simon turned back all astonished and asked.

David smiled and said,

"Why don't you wait for five minutes more when you know it officially", and saying that he left for his area.

There was a sudden commotion in the Graphic wing and everyone started pouring congratulations to Simon and then suddenly Akira arrived and they all went back silent.

"I sense a commotion going on here", she said with a poker straight face.

"Oh, nothing we were just...", Kirk was about to utter the reason, but he saw the glaring eyes of Simon and stayed silent.

Then with a serious tone, Akira said,

"This is office premises and I expect serious work to be done over here and no merry making."

They all hung their head low.

She was laughing inside her head to see them all getting into the submissive mode and said,

"If you want to celebrate then this is not how you celebrate."

Hearing her words Simon felt like because of him, all others were also facing her wrath. So he got up and came forward and said,

"We all are sorry but actually, it's all my fault...."

"Damn right it's all your fault Mr. Creative Director. If you want to celebrate then be creative. Invite us all for lunch. Just chattering here in the office makes no sense to me", she said and smiled looking at Simon.

"Wait, what?", he was shocked to hear her candid reply.

"What? Do you think you can escape so easy after such a big promotion? I don't think so. The official mail has already been sent. So I guess it's time for you to send the official lunch invite", saying that Akira smiled at him and went back to her cabin.

Simon was still staring in her direction when all other team members hounded him again asking for a lunch treat.

After coming back to her seat, Akira called for David who came to her cabin as soon as possible with a stack of legal documents in his hands.

After coming in, he showed her a few of the papers which had clauses highlighted by the legal team of Delphi.

"This one can easily be pushed away by their team."

"What about this clause?"

"This seems ok. But their legal team is huge and they will be able to figure out a loophole. Somehow I am getting that vibe."

"Hmm.... even I felt the same", David nodded and said.

Then, picking up another paper from the stack he asked,

"What about this one Akira? I think this one is rock solid", saying that he handed over a paper to her.

Akira read the clause and then re-read it again and smiled,

"This is perfect."

"You know what will make it even more rock-solid iron-clad unescapable clause?"

"What David?"

"If we merge the second clause with it", saying that David handed her the second clause paper which she had pushed to the side earlier.

She read both of them for a while and then looked at David and said,

"God, I seriously love your skills, David. What would I have done without you?"
