"Sir, you have another meeting at Crown Star, by 1 pm," Hardy announced, holding some documents in his hand.Harrison nodded without looking away from the screen of the computer. Seeing that Hardy was still standing there, he lifted his head and arched his brow."Uh, sir. I won't be available," he said, causing Harrison's brow to knit together."Why is that?" He questioned.Hardy scratched the back of his head, and said, "Mrs. Gerald sent me on an errand. She said I should tell you to go with Miss Lee."Harrison scoffed, shaking his head. His mother never ceased to amaze him. Her plan was just to get Yvonne and Harrison closer to each other."Alright, you can go." Harrison said, and added, "Tell Miss Clark to meet me in my office now."Hardy bowed and walked out of the office. Soon, Kimber was at his office, wondering what she had done this time."Good day, sir.""Are you free by 1 pm? I need you to accompany me to a meeting," he spoke, casually.Kimberly's eyes widened, her jaw-dropp
It was her first day at work, and she needed to look like the real secretary to the CEO of Ingot Inc.She stood in front of the mirror, looking at her Monday outfit. She had packed her long hair up into a ponytail, and she had worn a red pair of palazzo pants and a black off-shoulder long-sleeved top, tucking it into her pants.To complete her outfit, she wore black stiletto heels, clutching in her hand, a black handbag. She took out her jewelry box, bringing out a gold necklace with her name on it.She wore red lipstick, using the gel to style the edges of her hair. Somehow, she wanted to dress sophisticated, showing that she was the new boss around.Her outfit exuded an aura of a powerful woman. She let out a sigh and smiled. She walked out of her apartment, and locked it.She had already booked a ride, so at the exact time, the chofer drove to the front of her apartment, and she stepped in."Good morning," she greeted."Buenos dias, senora," he said in Spanish.He didn't seem to re
They both stared at each other in shock, as though they just saw a ghost."Quinn, is that you?" She asked to confirm, hoping that her eyes were not deceiving her."Eva, it's you!" She squealed, throwing her arms around her neck. She squeezed her into a hug, as though if she let her go, she would disappear again."Where the hell have you been?" Quinn asked, releasing her from the embrace.Eva smiled, "well, I've been around.""Jeez, we have a whole lot to talk about. Go in and submit the files, and let's talk at lunch," she said, and Eva nodded, entering the CEO's office."What was the commotion just outside my office now?" The CEO asked, taking the files from her."Oh, I'm sorry about that, sir. I bumped into Quinn, and the files fell off my hands. It's nothing serious," she responded, taking a bow before leaving.Soon, it was lunchtime, and Quinn did not waste any more second to zoom off to the third floor, where the cafeteria was.As she got there, she placed her order; sandwich an
"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
