Carina's heartbeat increased as the seconds passed by. She didn't know what to expect.Not like she didn't believe Fiona. She did, but there were talking about a professional secretary who has been in the business for long. She wanted to believe that she did a good job, but talking to Andrea right now, made her feel nervous.It didn't take up to 30 minutes, before she called her. Does it mean she didn't do well? How was Andrea going to react? She didn't want to let her down, but it seemed like she had already disappointed her."Hello, Carina."Hearing her voice, she felt even more nervous. "Go…good evening," she replied. She couldn't call her by name, as she had asked her to do, neither could she call her in a formal way. She just didn't want to do anything that will upset her."Why do you sound nervous? Is everything okay?" Andrea asked, sensing the nervousness in her voice."No, uh.. everything is fine. I just wasn't expecting your call tonight. I thought you might have slept, no
Henry was ready to sleep all day, in the room. He couldn't blame Mikel for leaving him behind. He was going to meet his woman, and as such, wouldn't want a third party.He stared at Mikel, wondering if he was sure about his tagging along. Was he only doing that because he felt bad for him? Aside being his assistant, he was also his friend."Mikel, it's fine. I'll be fine, here," he said, sitting on the bed.Mikel glared at him, "I asked you to come, right? If I didn't want you around, I wouldn't ask you to follow me. Now, get your ass off that bed, and dress up. Do not waste my time!" He said, pulling out a seat, to wait for him.Henry felt happy. He was lucky to have Mikel as a boss and friend. He got up, and walked towards the wardrobe, opening it wide enough to showcase all the clothes that hung in there.After rummaging through, he finally took out a simple outfit—a pair of jean trousers and a shirt. He looked at himself in the mirror, as he combed his hair. Taking one last look
When Andrea heard the name, she was taken aback. Was it the Jane she knew? How did Henry know her? She wouldn't deny that Jane was a model, but she just didn't think they would know each other.Wasn't Jane part of Charles' group? For sure, Henry had no knowledge about this."You mean Jane, the Beauty Diva?" She asked to be sure.When she saw Mikel nodding his head, she couldn't believe it. It was really true. How unlucky he was, to love someone like her."Can we talk in your room? I want to tell you something," Mikel said, and they both went upstairs.Andrea was curious to know what Mikel wanted to tell her. His expression was serious, and she knew it was something that important.She hurriedly sat next to him, curiously waiting for him to speak.When he didn't say anything, she decided to remind him."You wanted to tell me something," she said, giving him a piercing gaze."Yeah, but I'm not sure about it yet."She wondered what it was he wanted to tell her. He seemed a little bit h
She had totally forgotten about their date. They were supposed to have a date, since they cancelled the other one. She swiped right, and before she could say a word, Natalia had already took the initiative."Andrea!!!" She screamed so high, that Andrea had to take the phone away from her ear. If anyone had heard her screaming, they would think she was a teenager, not knowing she was an adult. An adult with a personality of a crazy woman. It only made her unique, as she was fun to be with. No matter how angry you were, once Natalia was involved, you would likely forget about the anger, and laugh your ass out. "Natalia, stop yelling!" Andrea could hear Natasha say. They were twins with different personalities. While Natalia was the crazy, yet cheerful woman with a whole lot of vibes, Natasha was more reserved. Though she was friendly, she was more quiet and calm.Andrea chuckled."Hey, cousin. How are you doing? It's been a while," she said, putting back the phone to her ear."We
Carina was too gladdened, that she couldn't sleep all night. She was the first to wake up, and Fiona chuckled at her eagerness.She didn't want to be late for work, not when she was about to start her duty as the interim secretary."I see someone's already up, so early."Fiona was already awake. She was a nocturnal person, so no matter how early anyone in the house would wake up, she would always be the first to awake."Fee! You scared me. Well, you can't blame me, I don't want to be late for work, you know," she giggled, " no need to ask why you are up so early. You never sleep," she added, before moving to the kitchen to make tea for her mother.Carina had already picked out the outfit for work, last night. After having her bath, she took the clothes out, and put it on. It was a turquoise shirt, and a black velvet skirt, which stopped a little above her knees, having a zip at the back, and a slit too.Matching it with a pair of black heels, she put on a gloss that made her lips glo
Alex nodded, and left immediately. He wondered why Carina couldn't stand up for herself. In all, he was glad that Sonia was there to protect her.He went straight to Tory, who was just starting her day."The CEO wants to see you in his office," he said, without a hint of smile on his face."Oh, the CEO is already here?" She muttered to herself, as she smiled and left.She had no idea that Jayden had seen all that she did. Not waiting for Tory to respond, he left her table to Sonia's. Sonia was with Carina, advising her to always stand up for herself, and what is right, without being afraid of anyone."Sonia's right, Carey. Do not let yourself get bullied by anyone. Learn to speak up and defend yourself," Alex said, drawing closer.They turned to see him coming to Sonia's office."See what I'm telling you? You can't let anyone walk on you. What if I wasn't there, you would really let her do all these to you?" Sonia asked, frowning.Carina had had enough of the lectures."Alright, alri
Tory hadn't realized that Carina had seen her. Carina was confused as to why she was glaring hard at her. She came out of the office to know if she had a problem or not.Tory was startled when she heard her voice. She quickly regained her composure, and hissed."Does it look like there is a problem? Just say you want to show off your new office," she said, rolling her eyes.Carina shook her head. Maybe, she should not have come out in the first place."Nevermind, I'll just…head back to work," she said, and left her.She didn't want to fight with her. She had no time for chitchats, especially with Tory.Tory couldn't take it, she glared at her. She felt like sapping life out of her. She stormed out, murmuring.Carina continued working, and was happy at how fast she progressed. After editing and reviewing her work, she printed it, so that she can show it to Alex.It was time for lunch, and she had just finished printing and compiling the documents. She took it to Alex's office."Hi, Ale
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
