"I don't quite get you Charlotte,can you be more explicit?" Jake asked her."What I said is very clear jake, with Max not available to render any help you'd be needing someone to replace him even if it's temporary".Jake scratched his head unsure of why she said that,"oh,I understand you now,but I can manage alone for the period he will be absent"."Are you sure?", She asked coyly,"it would be a lot of work for you, since you are used to having Max around"."I know that, and I have discussed with him,we agreed that I can manage for the time on my own,or do you have any suggestions?".She was excited when he asked her that last part, she didn't say anything as she didn't want to give the assumption that she was imposing her ideas on him, "well, since you asked, I was thinking if I can fill in Max's shoes for the mean time".Jake refused,"No Charlotte,I can't possibly allow that, you just became chairlady,what you should be thinking of is how to expand the business and even understand h
Simon gulped silently,this was not a lady to mess with, he would just show her around and move to his own office,if there is something he does not want it is trouble."Let's go so I can show you around and where to make the coffee for the chairman", he managed to say with little courage.Charlotte followed him happy that she quickly out him in his place before any shenanigan comes from him, there was room for such wherever she choose to work and it won't begin with some errand boy she does not even know.Jake was glad she left the office so he can continue with his work before Alice Vladimir arrives, hopefully Max does not get upset when he knows that he out Charlotte up to work for a little while,at least he can be understanding with that.All he wanted was to get the parade planned out and over with, which is more demanding than he actually thought,who knew such huge amounts would go into a parade not to talk of throwing one yearly.The money being spent yearly was a little amount t
Alice could see that Jake was not going to say more about his relationship with Charlotte, she had always loathed her, to.think.she got everything she had from fucking around with her grandfather and everyman that comes to her.Her father Pedro Vladimir gave her the information on George, about how he was arrested and sent to jail, but with that she was not satisfied, the closeness between Jake and Charlotte made her angry.It was hard believing Jake's word that there was nothing, but Jake was a simple and straight forward man to her, and if there is one thing she knows is that he would not hide it if he had anything romantic to do with Charlotte.She wasn't just in the picture on time as Charlotte had to opportunity of meeting him first before her, again it was her grandfather's doiy, he would have pushed her to him expecting Jake to be vulnerable and accept her with open arms When her father told her about the parade, she wasn't open to help at first, she thought it would be her wo
Simon stood not responding waiting for her to leave, she didn't like the way he gawked at her, so she went back to the office.Why was every of Jake's workers that she meets get on her nerves, she could cope with Max, at least he wasn't burdensome in the least to her, he just doesn't like her which was mutual, and there was Simon to deal with.The laughter and giggling died down and she was glad, maybe it was time for the annoying Alice to leave, her phone rang and she picked, it was Jake telling her to come to his office.Whatever it was he wants her to do would not be a problem as long as Alice is gone anytime after, she went there with a different look in her face, she was more calm now and nothing Alice would say would change that.She entered the office to see the both of them standing and wondered why, maybe he would be seeing her off and she has to take the tray away."Charlotte", Jake called her, "you will be coming with us to city mall, we are to begin the preparations for th
This was a terrible idea, bringing Alice and Charlotte to the same place, why didn't he just hire an expert in event planning that would not necessarily need his presence to carry out his or her work.It was harder than he expected, one day without Max and everything was becoming chaotic, it's not even the full twenty four hours yet and he was already draimed of every liquid inside of him.He can't of these two women going against each other, it's not his problem but if their misunderstanding will bring about troubles for him he has to set them straight and immediately."Charlotte,I don't know what this is about but you have to open up to me, that is the only way I can understand what is really going on".She contemplated telling him or not, it was very difficult for her, but since he is insisting she was going to come out with it,"there are two things that is bothering me, the first one was before we got here e the second was when you asked me to get her a bottle of cold water", she
Alice's face could not change from the smile she had on, why did Jake just agree to Charlotte's suggestion, she was the one in charge, it seems like she had grown confident since the little chat inside the city hall.She called Charlotte,"please can you scout around the area for any little restaurant, I am feeling peckish".Charlotte was about to go when Jake stopped her,"let's all go together, I'm quite famished myself and since we are all going we can eat at once""Not a bad idea", Alice said as they made their way out of the park, took a bending corner and the first thing they saw was a good truck, Jake was so delighted that he ran like a child and stayed on que.Alice and Charlotte have never eaten from a food truck and wondered why Jake was so excited, they would have passed on to a proper restaurant if he hadn't stopped there. The two ladies had different thoughts in their mind.Charlotte marvelled at how humble Jake was not only to eat from a food truck but to also wait in line
Awkwardness lulled the entire room as Charlotte and Sarah stood gazing at each other, none ready to break silence that loomed between them.Charlotte's eyes roamed over Sarah's pretty curls and feminine curves, this person standing in front of her was real competition, not Alice. Sarah looked made to her, a woman who knows what she wants and goes after it. A woman who does not need a man beside her to make her feel complete.Sarah had an aura around her that exudes confidence and she was threatening to Charlotte. Everyone in the room noticed how they sized up each other and were waiting for one of them to talk.Sarah pulled herself together and wore her serious look, "How have you been? it's been a minute, you look well to me" She extended a hand to Charlotte who shook it awkwardly not knowing why the woman before her was talking like they knew each other.Sarah smacked the front of her head," oh, it seems you have forgotten me, I am detective Sarah, I was in charge of your case", she
Dinner was finished and they discussed other things and laughed as Jake told them of his ordeal with Charlotte and Alice Vladimir. It was his worst day as chairman and he couldn't think of any other experience that was as bad as this."That's what you get for having two women swooning over you in the workplace, don't you know the rules of romance in the office?"Sarah said laughing."You can laugh now, but if you had seen me all you would have felt at that time was pity, I'm telling you they made my day miserable, till they composed themselves, I handled it".Sarah stood up, "I'm sure you did, which is why you made it in one piece home, I have to go now" She gave Max a gentle hug and whispered goodnight into his ear.Max signaled the l help, to bring in food for Cassandra, and they would go together to her room, while Jake followed Sarah outside.In front of her car she still teased him, "So you are a ladies' man now?"." I don't remember having that title until tonight and you gave i
