Quinn kept wondering if the CEO of The Gerald's Conglomerate was the same person as the one she met in the business school. Her mind was far away. She recalled the HR manager's words. "You must have been fortunate to meet the CEO in the business school." She looked at the name of the sender again. Harrison Fitzgerald. Could it be that it was him? She knew his name was Harrison Fitz, but what if it was just the short form of his full name? Harrison Fitzgerald? "Earth to Quinn!" Vera yelled in her ear, startling her, and drawing her out of her thoughts. "What are you thinking about? Aren't you happy?" She asked, looking worried. "What is wrong?" She asked again. "No, no... It's not like that. I'm so happy, I mean, this means a lot to me. It has always been my dream to work there, and now my dream has bee fulfilled, but..." She paused, slowly taking a seat on the couch. "But what, Quinn?" Vera asked, sitting beside her. "The sender... His name," she said, showing Vera th
Quinn did her work perfectly well, and was welcomed by the staff in the company. She was yet to see the CEO, but she had no choice than to be patient. She had just a week more to spend without physically seeing the CEO."Heck, I cannot wait to meet the CEO." Nat squealed, startling poor Quinn, who was so focused with work."What?" She asked, still trying to focus on her work."Have you not heard the news yet?" She asked her, but Quinn shook her head."What news?" Quinn questioned, a little frown appearing on her face."Ugh, what planet do you reside in?" Nat said, slapping her forehead, "the news about the CEO. Mr. Gerald will be introducing his son to the public, and then, he would resume his duty as the CEO of the conglomerate. Goodness, I cannot wait to see him!" Natasha squealed, twirling around."Whatever, you should better get back to work." Although she pretended not to be interested in the news, she was intrigued and curious. She could not wait for the day to come when she wo
Quinn felt as though the world the world had suddenly stopped. Even though she thought that somehow, he could be the one, she never imagined it to be true.Harrison was even looking more handsome than she had ever imagined. From the last day she saw him until now, he had drastically changed.She sensed that his personality was different, judging from the aura he exuded. Back then, one could see him as an approachable person, but now, looking at him from where she stood, she could tell that one would rather die than go close to him.She felt like fainting, or more so, that the ground would swallow her up. How was she going to face him after all these months?His eyes immediately caught hers, and from a distance, their eyes were locked in each other's gaze. Harrison stared at her, almost lost in her gaze, but he immediately looked away, as though he did not know her.She felt hurt, like a needle was pierced in her heart. Did he really not know her?Rowena could still not get over the sh
Quinn looked at the mirror, her face was not that bright as it used to be, whenever she was getting ready for work.Veronica called her as she was about to step out, "Quinn, have something to eat, first before you leave."She shook her head, "no, don't worry. I'm fine. I don't want to be late for work."She did not wait for Vera to try to convince her, she bade her goodbye, and walked out of the house.As she got to the company, she let out a sigh. She walked into the company, and met all the workers in the large hall.She moved to Kimberly, "what is going on here?"Before Kimberly could answer her, she heard the footsteps of someone. They all turned to the direction, and found Harrison walking in with Hardy behind him, holding his briefcase.He was clothed in a well tailored navy blue two-piece suit, and a white shirt. They made way for him, chorusing "good morning, Mr. CEO"."Good morning, everyone. My name is Harrison, as you all know, but you must refer to me as Mr. Fitz. Resuming
Weeks turned into months, and Harrison was still cold towards Quinn. He made work difficult for her, to the point that she regretted making that wish."Here are the files you asked me to submit to you, sir." She said, placing the files on the table.She turned to leave, but he stopped her."Did I tell you to leave?" His voice rang through, causing her to stop."Sir, you... You didn't say anything, and I have already submitted the files you asked me to submit." She tried to defend herself.He got up from the chair, and walked slowly towards her."You're right, but did I ever tell you to leave? I don't remember saying such," he told her.She was tired of his cold attitude towards her as though she had committed a huge crime.She took in a deep breath, and spoke up."If you don't mind, Mr. Fitz, I would like to resign from this job."She had thought about it, and had decided to quit the job, because she could not endure her mental health being at stake.Harrison laughed, turning away fro
"Harrison, your mother and I would be leaving the country tomorrow morning. We will be spending a couple of months is Switzerland. If you need anything, don't forget to let ask Theodore, or you can talk to me directly." His father announced to him over dinner.Harrison did not say a word, he only nodded his head, and continued eating his food.His father patted her mother's hand, comforting her to get accustomed to Harrison's attitude.The whole time at the dinning table was awkward and silent. Harrison did not mind. He had lived his whole life without any parents, so he didn't mind that he was sitting with two people who were his parents.After dinner, he stood up and went to his room. He shut the door without locking it, and sat in his working space.He did not feel like sleeping, so he had to review other projects that the company wanted to invest in, and then, choose which one amongst them was going to be profitable, and generate revenue.There was a knock on the door, he asked th
The office was already arranged, and his coffee was already made. He wanted to find fault in order to scold her, but she was a step ahead of him.He rushed to the table, and found out that the the coffee was hot, meaning that it was not too long ago that she prepared the coffee.He sat down, and turned on his laptop. There was a knock on the door, he asked whoever it was to come in.It was Quinn. She was dressed in a knee-length royal blue form-fitting long sleeved dress with silver stones decorated in a slant form. Her black hair fell on her back, reaching her waist.She matched her dress with a pair of black flat shoes. She looked stunning today, that Harrison could not take his eyes off her."Good morning, Mr. Fitz. Here is the list of your schedule today. You have a meeting with the investors for the East Project by 11 am. After that, you have a meeting with the President of Cantina Winery in collaboration with their interest in investing in Gerald Suites. There are no appointment
Neither Quinn nor Harrison talked about what happened that night. She did not want to recall anything, so she acted like everything was okay. She continued her work, and tried as much as possible to avoid having any conversation with him.Harrison, too, on the other hand, pretended not to know her. Everytime she submitted a file to him, or come to report to him in the office, he never spared her a glance.As Quinn focused on the computer, typing a letter that Harrison instructed her to send to H & B Company, someone walked up to her.The sound of her heels distracted Quinn from what she was doing. She lifted her head, and in front of her was a not so tall lady with heavy makeup.She wore a black leather skirt that in her mid thigh, a crop top, and a knee-length boots. "Who the hell is this slut?" Quinn thought to herself, feeling disgusted by her presence."Hello, good day. How may I help you?" Quinn asked her, trying to maintain formalities."I want to see the CEO," she said, placi
