"You needed to see how they treated me like some kind of big and influential celebrity!" Quinn squealed, as she spoke with Vera."I'm so happy for you, Quinn. You are so strong, even after everything that happened, you still pulled through like nothing ever happened. If it were me, I'd commit suicide," Vera responded, admiring Quinn's resilience."Stop flattering me, Vera. I cannot give up on life, yet. My parents did, but I won't. Whatever the challenges may be, I will face it, and walk through it victoriously," she ascertained.Before Vera could reply, Kim walked inside."Oh, Quinn. Kimberly is here," she said, turning to Kim, "come speak with Quinn."Kimberly rushed to sit beside Vera. Her facial expression changed, as she saw Quinn."Quinn!" She screamed, causing Vera to shut her ears."Hi, Berley! I miss you so much," Quinn voiced out, grinning."I miss you more, bestie! When will you come back?" She asked, but Quinn's smile began to fade."I don't think I'll return to Florida an
"Why did you startle me like that? You still haven't changed, have you?" Quinn voiced out to Eva, who laughed out loud.She frowned, crossing her arms over her chest. "You win, fine. But I promise, I'll pay you back," she said to Eva, who finally stopped laughing."Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you that way. I was bored at home, so I decided to come see you. Now you are here, I know I won't be bored again," she said, standing straight. She peeped through the slightly open door, "What did you cook? I'm so hungry!" Quinn was left speechless, as Eva walked past her, entering inside the house. She did not even know what to say, she followed her inside, shutting the door and locking it."I was going to step out for a bit and take a stroll, until you came. You are lucky I didn't finish the food," Quinn responded, moving to the kitchen."What did you cook? Fried pasta and Bolognese sauce?" Eva asked, watching Quinn's reaction.Seeing her raise her brows, she jumped up in excitement, dancin
"Good day, sir. Are you busy, please?" Quinn asked, holding her phone and a file in her hand.He looked away from the screen of the computer and adjusted his glasses. "No, why?"She moved closer, "there is something I would like to discuss with you if you don't mind.""Sure, go ahead and sit down," he requested, pointing at the chair in front of him.She nodded with a small smile, and sat down, placing the file on the table in front of her. She adjusted the seat forward and cleared her throat."The thing is, when I first arrived in Spain, I wanted to start up a small business, but Spain is not my home country, and I barely know if my business would excel if I started it immediately. So, I thought of working with any company to gain knowledge and collaborate with the company on a project or two."I went to a business school in Los Angeles, so I have enough knowledge about business modeling and how to run a successful business. What I'm saying, in essence, is that I would like to partne
"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
