She couldn't believe her eyes. As she leaned close to Mikel, she opened her email, and found the attachment. She caught a glimpse of the headline, and couldn't help but feel astounded.Mikel also glanced at the attachment. He was amazed at how captivating it was. "Let me see that," he said. She brought the phone a little bit up, so he can also see it. They read the attachment together, and Andrea felt so proud of her."Who wrote this?" Mikel asked. "The interim secretary of the company," she replied, wondering what was his perception of the attachment."Fernando's Int'l has the most skillful workers, there is. I mean, this is compelling, and can persuade anyone to perform an action. This is really good," he said, nodding his head.Andrea was happy. Carina didn't need much training, she was already good at what she does. Only a few lessons on how to speak would do."I know right. Would you love to meet her? She is coming over in a few hours. I want to show a few things she need to
Nathan went over to Sonia, who was busy sorting out some documents. He stood there, without saying anything, and Sonia was not planning to act cool at all."What? Are you just going to stand there, and not say anything?" She asked, getting tired of his silence, uncomfortable with his presence. It was only distracting her.He looked at her, "where is Carina?" He asked, rudely. Sonia rolled her eyes, and continued with what she was doing. This act of hers made Nathan clench his hands. He was not there to waste time, and did not want to be patient, as he needed to know something."I asked you a question, Sonia.""Do I look like her guard? Even if I were to be one, I would not give you a reply, considering how rude you asked," she retorted.Sonia could be said to be the opposite of Carina. While Carina was quiet, and accepted whatever people did you her, Sonia was always standing up for herself. She would not let anyone treat her like a piece of garbage."I'm sorry. Do you know where Car
Carina stood up, and greeted him. "Hi, my name is Carina Bartholomew. It's a pleasure to meet you," she said, putting a smile on her face."It's nice to meet you, Carina. I'm Mikel," he said, shaking her hand.He did not want to mention his surname, so as not to create any drama. He sensed that Carina was trying to figure out who he was, and he wished she would not know.Carina had heard of the name before, but she had not seen his face. The only Mikel she knew was the CEO of Jackson's Automobiles, but it didn't mean someone else wouldn't bear the name.That was the only valid reason she could give herself.They sat together, and talked casually. Carina was starting to get used to Andrea's other side, and she began to relax, and not tense up.It was already past 5, and she needed to go."Thank you, for today. Thank you, Sir Mikel. I need to head home now," she said, and Andrea nodded in understanding.She picked up her phone from the table, and called Alex. Alex was with Jayden, whe
The call ended, and Nathan slammed his fist on his thigh. He calmed down, after a few minutes, and asked the driver to take him to the address, which he showed him.The man—though he had seen many dramas as a cab driver—had never seen such before. He first thought that he was mentally unstable. Having seen how red his eyes were through the rearview mirror, he felt pity for the lady he had seen.He wondered what relationship they had, but whatever the case may be, she needed to be careful.He wanted to tell, no, warn her, but she didn't know him, and he didn't know anything about their relationship. He did not want to be involved in their matter, as it was only a feeling he had, as a result of what he had observed. He could feel the danger oozing out of his body, as his eyes were fixed on Carina. After getting the address, he nodded, and turned right.He didn't want to strike a conversation with Nathan, as he didn't know what kind of person he was. He drove to the location, and that
Carina jumped out of the bed, nervous and upset. She wiped her eyes again, to make sure she was seeing clearly. Not satisfied, and still doubting, she pinched herself, and realized that she was not dreaming. It was really 7am in the morning. What the hell was she doing? Did she not tell Fiona to wake her up? "Shit! Fiona has—argh!" She got out of the bed, and went to find her. Wearing a night gown, that revealed her shoulders, she marched down to the kitchen.Fiona was putting on an apron, frying pancakes, and humming her favorite song.She didn't notice Carina, who stood at the door, fuming.Her hair was messy, and some strands stuck on her face."Fiona!" She screamed, as she saw that Fiona wasn't noticing her presence.Fiona, on hearing her name, suddenly turned and saw Carina standing like someone, who just woke up from a nightmare.She took out the last pancake from the pan, and turned off the cooker. She placed the tray of pancakes on the other side of the kitchen table, befor
After Jane came back from the show, she went back home, and found her brother sleeping like a log of wood on the couch. He had returned from God knows where, and threw himself on the couch, dozing off immediately. He reeked alcohol, and Jane could guess he had had too much to drink.Seeing that he would not wake up anytime soon, she walked past him to the kitchen. There were some leftovers in the refrigerator, as the food in the pot was gone. There was no one to blame than her brother.She microwaved the leftovers that were in the fridge, and sat in the kitchen to eat. She thought of so many things.Her father was sick, and laid in the hospital. His health was not improving, and it really bothered Jane. She felt helpless. She wanted to be a fashion model, but her desperation made her take wrong decisions. She was a renowned fashion model living in bondage. She was bound to Charles, as he was the one taking care of her and her father. The least she could do to repay him was to wor
Carina hurriedly sat down, turning on the computer, as she began to make some research. She wrote down a few things on the office notepad, and after a few hours of research, she began to type.Even though the air conditioner was turned on, she was still sweating. Not because there was no ventilation in the office, but because she was nervous.Soon, Alex would come in and ask for the file. What was she going to tell him? How was she going to face him? The last thing she wanted to do was disappoint them. It was already 10am, and she was still focusing on the computer. She rubbed her temple, and leaned back on the chair to relax her mind. She needed to take a little break, so she rested her head on the chair, and close her eyes, taken steady breath. With the way her chest rose and dropped, one could tell that she was almost dozing off.Her phone rang, and she jerked off, searching frantically at nothing. Realizing that it was just her phone that made the sound, she shook her head, sigh
Sonia muttered, still fixing her gaze on the lady. Tory and the others, who also saw her, fixed their gaze on her.She had already expected it, so she didn't feel any discomfort. Seeing how Sonia was looking at her, she frowned.What was really special about the girl? The fact that she was…blonde? Or did she cast them some kind of spell.She didn't know why, but she had an aversion for the lady. Not like she knew who she was or had met her before.It was just a feeling she could not explain.The lady walked towards them, she supposed it was the reception, so she made to ask for the Manager's office.That night, Jane had asked her to write an application letter, and submit it in the company's official page. Their responses were swift, meaning they were really looking for someone to work for them.Luckily, she had been invited for an interview, and that was why she came."Hello, good day."Sonia had regained her poise, and welcomed her in the usual formal, yet friendly tone."Hi, welco
