"Eva, Eva! I got in!" Quinn yelled as she hurried to Eva's table.Everyone's attention was turned to her, but she did not mind. She rushed to Eva and sat down immediately."Eva, my proposal was accepted by the CEO. I will be meeting with the board members tomorrow!" She announced, squealing in excitement."Oh, my! Really? I told you that you would nail it! I'm so happy for you," Eva voiced out, getting up to hug her."Congratulations, my love. Congratulations," she added, squeezing her."Okay, I won't live to meet the board members, if you keep on squeezing me that way." Quinn managed to speak."Oh, sorry," Eva chuckled, letting go of Quinn. She pulled Quinn to the chair, and sat beside her, leaning closer to pay attention to her."So, tell me. How did it happen? I want to hear everything. What did he say? How did he react? How— tell me every single thing that happened!" Eva asked, clapping her hands in excitement."Okay, okay. Take a chill pill, alright? I will tell you," Quinn said
"Senorita Ro, you will handle the project for the company's annual celebration that is coming up in three weeks," the CEO said, as they all gathered in the large room for a general meeting."Me?" She whispered, shocked at the revelation.Although she was still referred to as a new staff, she knew that the annual celebration was not an easy project to plan."But senor, I thought that the project is usually given to people that have been in the company for more than two years," Quinn voiced out, hoping that the project would be passed on to someone else."Yes, you are correct, senorita Ro. However, for this year's celebration, you will be in charge of the project. We believe in your potential and capability, and we chose you to be the project lead. Don't we all agree? Or does anyone have an objection?" He said, turning to everyone in the room."No objection, senor!" They chorused almost at once.He smiled, "you can do this." He turned to Eva, "Eva was our project lead for the annual cel
Quinn began to assign work to all the team members, and soon enough, they began to plan out the project.They worked so hard to make sure that the project was a success, and although it was not an easy task, they all teamed up to work on it."Senorita Natasha, remember to send out the invitations to all the prominent personalities that would grace the event. We have limited time left," Quinn instructed."On it!""Senor Thomas, have you confirmed all the emails that were to be sent? The fair is beginning tomorrow, and we need to create enough awareness, that way, we can get more audience, and disseminate the information both locally and internationally," Quinn told Thomas, who just turned on his computer."Are all the products for the fair ready?" She asked Eva, holding onto a tablet."Yes, Senorita. They are all ready!" Eva exclaimed.After everything was checked, and they were sure there was nothing left, they all slumped into their seat, letting out tiring sighs."Great job, team! I
She was the team leader, and she was sure of all the guests that were invited. She had gone through all of them, and she could even tell their names without looking at the list.The CEO followed her line of vision and realized that she was staring at Gerald's table."Oh, I forgot to add them to the list I gave you, so I gave them a personal invitation," he told her, as he noticed how surprised she looked."Oh, okay," she feigned a smile and bowed out of the podium.She looked down, refusing to look at the crowd, as she made her way to the employees' table, where she sat beside Eva."What happened? I noticed your mood suddenly changed," Eva expressed, whispering to her."Nothing, I just saw someone I never wanted to see."Eva tried to think hard about it, and finally, it clicked on her who Quinn was referring to."Wait, he is here?" She asked, widening her eyes as Quinn nodded in confirmation, "How's that possible?" She asked, almost raising her voice."Shh, be quiet," Quinn reminded h
"What is that all about?" The CEO asked, looking angry, yet calm."I apologize, senor," she said, bowing her head."Do you know the Gerald's elsewhere?" He asked.She nodded, "Yes, senor. He was my former boss when I was in Florida. I resigned from the company willingly, because I wanted to relocate. I never tried to seduce him or anything of that sort. The woman is only—""It's okay, Quinn. I believe you, so let's go out there and make them understand that you are not what that lady says you are." He told her, patting her shoulder.She nodded, and muttered a thank you, trailing behind him as they resurfaced the hall again.Everyone's attention was turned to the two of them, seeing that they came out of the VIP room together."Was the lady saying the truth? Isn't that the CEO with his assistant coming out of the VIP room?""Is she really a slut?""Is the CEO— oh, my!"People began to whisper, causing Yvonne to smile, knowing fully well that Quinn was going to be kicked out of the comp
Quinn walked out of the restroom, and back to the hall. She greeted the men that she walked past, before getting to the employees' stand.Just before she got there, Yvonne blocked her path."Don't think you have won, yet. I know you did that just to gain everyone's favor, but both of us know that you are just a pretentious little witch!"Quinn scoffed and shook her head in disappointment."The first time I saw you, I thought you were wise, but now i know that even the most foolish man in the world is wiser than you. Get yourself together, and get out of here, because the next time you try to cross paths with me again, I will not be this nice," Quinn voiced out in a surprisingly calm tone.The way she looked at Yvonne made her flinch, and a hint of fear flashed on her face, as she watched Quinn walk away."Thank you, everyone, for making today a success. See you all tomorrow," the CEO said and walked away with his wife."Uh, senorita Ro?" Mrs. Ingot called."Si, senora," she replied, w
"Senor, the meeting will start in five minutes," Quinn announced, holding a file and a tablet.The CEO looked at her, "alright. I'll be there soon."Quinn bowed, and left the office, heading to the conference room where the meeting will be held.She took a seat on the right side of the room and began to go through the file she had carried. She was so focused on the file, that she didn't know when Harrison walked in. Of course, he did not come with Yvonne.After embarrassing him and almost making him lose a huge deal, he could not risk bringing her again.He shut the door, staring at her, as she focused on the papers. He could not help but marvel at her personality.She looked even more beautiful. The red dress she wore added to the beauty of her ebony hair. He wondered how many men were on their knees begging to have a chance with her.Thinking about this made him feel jealous. He cleared his throat and walked towards the table.As he shifted the chair, the sound from it caused her a
"Do you have any relationship with Mr. Fitz?" Mr. Ingot asked, as soon as Quinn walked inside.Her heart sank immediately when she heard his question. She closed the door, lowering her head, as she walked closer."Uh, is anything the matter, senor?" She asked, rather than answering his question."Nothing, just answer it."She sighed, and sat down. "I don't have any relationship with Mr. Fitz. We had a thing some time ago, but now, nothing is going on between us."Mr. Ingot sighed, "I don't want to pry into your privacy, but I think you two need to reconcile. I don't know what might have happened in the past between the two of you, and from what happened in the event, and his expression today, I feel he is sorry about his actions. While you were defending his company and trying to convince me, I noticed the way he looked at you, and I know you did not defend his company because you wanted to, but because you still love him."Quinn felt like Mr. Ingot was right, but she battled with her
