"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
Harrison wore his usual expression to the office. He arrived at the company, and all the employees rose to their feet and bowed, greeting him.He walked past them, heading to the private elevator. As he entered, he recalled the time that Quinn joined him in the elevator. Just thinking about this made him realize how much he had missed her. He was so blinded by his anger that he did not realize what he had done to her.This made him feel even more guilty. This was someone he loved genuinely, and she loved him too, how could he then lose trust for her?He sighed and walked out of the elevator. He entered into his office, and his gaze fell on the table. There was no cup of coffee on it. Everything and everywhere reminded him of Quinn. It was as though she had embedded her memory in all the things in the company.He shook his head, trying not to think too much about it. He got to his seat, and began working.However, he did not seem to concentrate. He kept thinking of Quinn working as M
Harrison knew who Veronica was. He had seen her a few times when he went to Quinn's house.He was silent for a while and only nodded his head slowly."Write me her contact here," he said, passing her a pen and a note.She took out her phone and copied the number out."Here, sir," she replied, passing the note and pen back to him."Thank you, you can go back to your office," he said to her, taking the note.She stood up and bowed, before leaving.Harrison opened his SMS app and typed his message."Veronica, let's meet. I will send you the time and address. Better still, Hardy will come pick you up."At the end of his text, he wrote "Harrison" beneath it, to aid easy recognition.He waited for hours for her response, but none came. He was finally able to distract himself, and while at it, his phone vibrated.He took it from the table and saw that she had replied."Send me the time and address, you don't have to pick me up."He sighed. He did not think it was going to be easy, talking to
"Thank you, for dropping me off. Have a good night's rest," Veronica said and got out of the car.As she approached the house, she was shocked to see Richard standing by the door."Who was that?" He asked, pointing at the car that just left."What are you doing here?" She asked, instead, ignoring his question.He sighed and took a step forward."Are you still mad at me, Rona? He asked in a calm tone.She turned her face sideways, not wishing to look at him. He held her chin, making her turn to him."I'm sorry, Rona. I really am. I didn't mean to lie to you, I promise," he voiced out in a pleading tone."Yet, you still lied to me. I thought you trusted me?""I do trust you, I just did not want to drag you into the mess I created. I was trying to sort it out, before telling you, but you found out about it already," he explained, holding her hands, and caressing them gently. "I'm so sorry, Rona."She looked at him, locking eyes with him. She could not resist him, of course. The anger sh
After Quinn's work was approved by the board members, she worked tirelessly to make sure that her project was successful.One time, she slept off while working. Eva walked into her office, smiling as she looked down at her sleepy face.She placed her hand gently on her cheek, causing her to wake up."Oh, Eva. Hi. Sorry, I dozed off.""It's fine. I understand, you must be really tired," Eva muttered, placing the box on the table."I knew you would be hungry, so I decided to bring you food. How is it going?" She asked, taking a seat.Quinn yawned, and took the box, opening it. She found another of her favorites; a sandwich and smoothie.She smiled at her, and mouthed, "Thank you, I really appreciate it."She began to eat while reviewing her work. Eva snatched the papers from her."Eat, first, Quinn. You will still work, it's not running away," Eva advised her.She sighed and dropped the work until she was done eating."I have a presentation tomorrow. If I can convince the investors, and
"Hi, Princess. I'm on my way home, I will call you back," Ivan said hurriedly and hung up.After celebrating with the employees over the company's win, Quinn returned home, feeling tired.It was over now, and it was now in Mr. Ingot's hands.As soon as she stepped into the house, she fell on the couch, breathing out heavily. She really had a long day and needed to rest.Luckily, it was the weekend, so she would have all day to rest. She, however, recalled that she needed to inform Ivan about the progress of the project.After he told her he would call her later, she went in to shower. She stepped into the bathtub and sank her body into the warm water of lavender and chamomile oil.She rested her head on the head of the tub, and shut her eyes close, relaxing her body. She remained there for about fifteen minutes before washing her body off.She got out of the tub with a towel tied around her chest and another wrapped around her head to prevent water from dripping down from her hair to
Ivan had just returned from his early morning exercise when he met Vera at home."Oh, you are back? So early!" He muttered, breathing heavily, as he collapsed on the floor, gulping down the last content in the bottle."Yeah, I need to do some laundry. If I don't come home early, I will feel lazy about it." She explained, "How did you sleep, fitness man?""Oh, I slept fine. Only that you did not cook before leaving. I had to get up and prepare something to eat unless I wanted to starve," he whined, letting out a long and heavy sigh."I know, lazy ass. That's why I made pasta and chicken Caesar salad for you," she said, wearing a smile, and anticipating his expression.Of course, it was just as she expected. He immediately turned to her and grinned."You are the best, Vera. If Richard doesn't end up marrying you, I will make sure he suffers.""Okay, don't flatter me now. Go and have your bath, you stink!" She said, feigning to be disgusted."It's just sweat, c'mon." He whined, getting u
