And as the city lights glittered beyond the windows and the auditions continued in the halls below and the internet continued to lose its collective mind over their relationship, Tang Fei and Huo Ting Cheng sat together in their office-turned-sanctuary and simply existed in each other's presence.
Building an empire.
Building a future.
Building a love story that would outlast them both.
One selfie, one kiss, one shared dream at a time.
And really, what more could anyone ask for?
[Outside the office, Huo Wu checked his phone]
Huo Zhen: How long should we give them?
Huo Wu: Another hour, minimum. They're in the 'disgustingly in love' phase.
Huo Zhen: I've never seen the boss like this.
Huo Wu: Neither have I. It's... actually kind of nice?
Huo Zhen: Agreed. Also terrifying. But mostly nice.
Huo Wu: Definitely don't mention that we think it's nice.
Huo Zhen: Absolutely not. I value my life.
Huo Wu: Smart man.
