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
Eva stood there for more than two minutes, as though she had been frozen to the spot. She never thought that a day would come when she would be standing in front of Ivan.Although she knew that one day she would meet Ivan again, she did not think it would be this sudden and unexpected. "Eva, what's wrong? Who is there?" Quinn asked, getting up to check up on her.As she reached the door, she, too, was surprised to see Ivan at the door."Ivan?" She called out with a frown, wondering whether or not she was dreaming or hallucinating."Princess!" He exclaimed, wearing a smile, "Surprise!" He walked past Eva like there was no one standing there. He hugged Quinn tightly, before letting her go."I've missed you so much," he added.Every other person in the room stared at the two of them, wondering what was going on.Quinn realized that all eyes were on them, so she coughed and cleared her throat."Everyone, this is my Siamese twin, Ivan. The one I've been telling you about," she introduced
Eva cleared her throat, "Ivan, I know that you are angry at me. You might not even want to talk to me. First, I want to apologize for keeping it away from you. You deserved to know, and I made a mistake."She glanced at him and was satisfied when he gave her listening ears.She continued, "My father wanted me to get married to him for business purposes, and I was not in agreement with them. On the day of the wedding, I ran away, and my father disowned me. I relocated to Spain and tried to live again, hoping that I would find a way to contact you. I tried to move on, but it was hard to do so.""I met Quinn at the company where I worked, and that was how I knew you were in Houston. Every time you talk to her, I wish I could tell her to hand over the phone to me to speak with you, but I was too ashamed to even say anything. I didn't mean to make you feel worthless at all. I don't know if you have moved on already, but I just want to say that I missed you so much." She concluded, letting
Eva wore a gloomy face as she walked beside Quinn to the CEO's office to submit her resignation letter.It was not news to the CEO that she was resigning, as they had had a deal. She walked inside, her heels resounding in the office. As soon as she reached the table, she shoved the envelope slowly on the table."RESIGNATION LETTER" was boldly written on it.The CEO raised his head and looked at her. He had a smile on his face, as he took the envelope, and tore it open.He took out the paper, and then brought out his pen, and signed below the letter."It was a pleasure to meet you, Senorita Ro. I do not ever regret working with you. I hope we make good partners now and in the future," Mr. Ingot said, stretching his hand for a handshake.She smiled at him, "gracias, senor. I'm grateful for all your assistance."After that, she left for her office to pack. As she placed the big carton box on the table, slowly taking everything that belonged to her, she reminisced about when she started
"What are you talking about?" The old man asked, wearing a frown on his face.George turned immediately to her, "what? What are you saying? How can you say you are the CEO of Ro Groups? Are you dreaming?"Quinn chuckled. She knew George would try to say something about it."Let's say I am not the CEO of Ro Groups. Can you tell us who the CEO of Ro Groups is? I'm not sure it is you," Quinn said, giving him an expression that she knew what he did."Quinn, what are you talking about? What do you mean by George is not the CEO of Ro Groups?" He asked, obviously looking confused.He turned to George, "What is she talking about?""Grandfather, do not mind Quinn. You know so well that she has always wanted to take over the company. This is nothing but a fabricated lie!" He whined, darting his eyes between his grandfather and Quinn.There was a sense of confusion, as Mr. Ro did not know who to believe, or who was telling the truth.He looked at Quinn, and then at George. The more he thought ab
"Quinn!" Vera yelled, as soon as she opened the door.She had no idea when they planned to come back, so she was not expecting them to be the ones at the door.The moment she saw Quinn, she jumped on her like she was her lifesaver, causing the bag she held to slip and fall."I've missed you so much!" She said, releasing her from her embrace. "Are you back to Florida or did you just come to visit?" She asked."I'm back in Florida now," Quinn responded, wearing a huge smile on her face.It had been months since she last saw Vera, and she could not explain how much she had missed her.She stared at her face, as though there was something different from the face she used to know."Did you forget me here or did it look like only Quinn came back," he paused, "or am I just too invisible for you to see?" Ivan cleared his throat, addressing the questions at Vera.She turned to him, "Oh, Ivan! You are here, I didn't know.""What? I was literally standing next to Quinn. You even pushed me while
