Regina Campbell sat in the waiting room while going through her phone, asking Daphne if she would be free to pick Mirabella up from school later in the day. She waited for Daphne's response when she noticed she was typing but got interrupted by Daniel.
"There might be a delay with the interview. The Boss is doing his introduction in the meeting. You could wait right?""Mmh. Thanks" Regina smile , rubbing her two hands together nervously."I understand how nervous you are. Everyone is too, but don't worry. Hopefully it won't be as hard as it might seem. I'm off now, I'll inform you when he requests for you."While Regina watched Daniel go off, she couldn't wash off the feeling of nervously, most especially seeing how everyone was panicking. She went back to her phone, with the idea to keep herself busy until whoever the CEO was had settled. Seconds passed, Minutes and then two hours later , Regina was invited into the office. When she walked in, she met a man in a suit who was slightly backing the door and was on his phone, sounding frustrated over the call.She stood still, not wanting to be disrespectful by sitting down without his permission."Fuck!" He cussed throwing his phone on the table , freaking Regina out who stared at her feet. This was going well -- she had thought. "I'm sorry about that. Have a seat!" This time, Regina looked up to stare at the supposed CEO and for the next couple of minutes she was shocked and beyond words. How was it possible that her Boss is no other than the Man she had screamed at for mistakenly hitting her daughter with his car? The same man she had denied to check up on them.Hills Sabastian looked up at her, noticing the delay in her sitting and then he recognized her. The woman he had met earlier."Uhm... Are you going to sit or not?" He said, waving at her and bringing her back from her thoughts. Regina knew there was no need to continue with the job interview, who would want to employ the same lady that was rude to them!? Somehow, Regina tried to justify her action that she was only in a panic state. She slowly sat down , unable to look Mr Hills in the face."I see you recognize me. How's your little girl doing? The doctor said you had your number deleted cause you didn't want me to contact you."Regina bit her lower lips. "I'm sorry we started off on the wrong foot. I thought you were ---" Mr Hills cut her short."So you wanted the assistant position. Let me see..." He opens her file and starts going through it, while humming slowly. The tension was hot and Regina couldn't help but feel so guilty."Sir. I'll understand if you don't want to give me the Job because of how I talked to you earlier... I'm not actually like that but I was in panic and not with my senses at that time."Mr Hills Chuckles. "A divorcee ----" he read out and finally took his eyes off the paper to look at her.A day ago, Mr Hills Sabastian had requested to see the files of the people applying for the assistant position. Concerning he was making his official appearance in his company, Colin had suggested that he be the one to employ his assistant and not allow the team to do so. While going through the 20 profiles that were submitted, Hills had seen a familiar face, the mother of the little girl his car had knocked down."Colin -- could you look up this profile for me?""Why, do you know her?" Colin had asked, seeing it weird that he wanted for a profile to be data searched."Mmh. We met her yesterday, the lady that was rude to me.""Oh. Mirabelle's Mother?" Colin had proceeded to look it up and was able to deliver some information that wasn't in Regina's Resume. Giving Hills every information he had needed. "You could tell the team to dismiss other applicants." He said almost immediately he had gone through the file.Looking up at Regina who was picking her fingers nervously, Hills removed his glasses, rubbing his eyes in the process and now focused on Regina."Your resume said you have never worked as an assistant before, what made you think you could do a good job?""Because --- " Again, Hills cut her short by making a phone call, when he got off the phone he turned to Regina."You can go to your referral -- Daniel and ask him for your contract. The position is yours.""Umh..." Regina was short of words. The truth? When she realized who he was, Regina knew it was over for her and there's absolutely no way she's getting any position in the company. But here she is, being told that she had secured a position.Does he have something else in mind? Regina thought that maybe he had decided to give her the job and punish her after, or perhaps he didn't even care? She wanted to ask, question him on why he gave her the job despite how they had started off. But her tongue was suddenly too tired to say anything. She just stared down."Thank you sir. I'll do my best." She managed to say much later, standing up. Mr Hills eyes was back on the files on his desk, ignoring Regina who walked out of the door while holding her heart on her hand. Definitely, she knew her stay at this company has a long way to go because what had she done. Regina met Daniel on the stairway and he smiled at her. "You don't look happy? , You didn't get the position?"Regina smiled tiredly. "I did. I was asked to meet you for my contract". Regina and Daniel chatted their way down to Daniel's office. Back at Mr Hill's office after Regina had left, he received a phone call that took the smile on his face away, slowly he picked it up after much hesitation."What do you want?""What do you want?" There was a dead silence on the other end and Hills was about to make the move of disconnecting the call when she spoke up."Hello darling"Upon hearing her voice and the pet name she called him, Hills clenched his fist tightly and his grip around the phone tightened as well.Nothing frustrates him as much as she does. Hills never for once thought that she was going to ever call him after so many years, but here he is, speaking with her on the phone."What do you want Martina?" Hills asked again and she chuckled."Can't I call to check up on you, Hills?""No you can't Martina"Again, Martina chuckled and it was slowly making Hills upset. Her chuckle reminded him so much of that particular day she left him 5 years ago. He'd never forget that."C'mon Hills.. Don't be so rude to me, Except if the past still hunts you like it does" There was a hint of mockery in Martina's voice."The past.. Has nothing to do with the present. Don't you dare bring up the past" Hills wa
"You should watch where you're going." Mr Hills started, bending over to help Regina pick up the Files that had slipped from her hand. "I'm sorry, my fault." Regina apologized, as she went down as well to pick up and arrange the files. She couldn't help but notice that the expression on her boss's face was not the usual. He seems pissed off about something and yet trying to cover it up. Regina would have asked , sure enough but this is her Boss. One she had started off with on the wrong feet. As much as Regina knows, it's best for her to avoid him in every aspect if she really wants her Job. When she was done picking up the Files with the help of Hills Sebastian, Regina stood up. "Here, have it!" He stretched the files towards her and she hesitated before taking the files from him."Thank You. And sorry I bumped into you.""How's Mirabelle?..." Hills asked instead, ignoring her words. Regina looked at him in the eyes. She hated what he knew about her daughter. She hated that h
Regina Campbell didn't bother to have breakfast. Her major aim was to get to the company as soon as possible. She had just 10 minutes left and it's so obvious she's going to be late.Getting a cab was easy but the problem lies on how to get there as fast as possible.It's been four days since she got the Job and she must confess that the HS company is one hell of a company. It hasn't been going on easy for her with the amount of workload that's been given to her by her supervisor.Sometimes, she gets to work late into the night, just so she can round it up. There's no breathing space for her.. Not just her, but the entire employees as well.She noticed that the only time the employees get to spend time with each other is only during lunch breaks, that lasts for about an hour... The rest time is just to work, work, and work. Most times, she forgets it's lunch time and skips lunch just because she has to finish working on a document and get it submitted at the time frame given. Daniel
Regina's day would have been better, not until the boss showed up at noon and the company turned into chaos with everyone trying to get everything done as soon as possible.Daniel showed up at her office, she didn't realize his presence because of how engrossed she was. Regina lifted her head up as he cleared his throat and upon seeing Daniel, she smiled."Hey Daniel""Long time no see Regina" He sounded as if he was just seeing her after so many years.. He's exaggerating."It's just a few days Daniel" "And you didn't care to check up on me!"Regina felt guilty instantly. He was right. She should have gone to his department and maybe invited him to lunch or something. it's a little something she could have done."I'm so sorry Daniel.. I've just been occupied with so much work"Chuckling.. He said "Everyone is.. But, that won't stop us from having our lunch breaks. Let's have lunch together""Uh! I don't think I'll be going , Daniel.. I still have a lot of files to go through and ther
"OMG!! He's just so cute! I can't believe that Hills Sebastian slept in this apartment last night!" Daphne squealed, staring and drooling over the sleeping Hills.Since there isn't any other room left, Hills had to sleep on the couch. It's a good thing Regina let him stay the night because the rain didn't stop. It was a heavy down pour."Keep your voice down Daphne" Regina nudged at her slightly but she didn't stop drooling over her boss.Regina rolled her eyes and continued making breakfast. Mirabelle was already waiting at the dining table. "Your boss is really amazing Regina.. For him to care about the welfare of his employees.. That's so sweet of him. Too bad he had to sleep on the couch, if you had told me last night, I would have let him sleep in my room instead""You're crazy Daphne" "Crazy for your boss" Daphne laughed while Regina chuckled.. "I'm just kidding" She added."Rather than stand there and drool over someone that doesn't even know who you are.. Why don't you help
"Mother!" Hills approached his mother who was in the living room, waiting for him.He was up in his room when Colin came to inform him of his mother's presence. Hills wished he had supernatural powers to just disappear into thin air and go far away from his mother.His mother rarely visits him, and when she does, it's the same old story. "Hey son" Hills kissed her both cheeks, after which they sat.She held his cheeks and checked him thoroughly,, she let go of his cheek and shook her head and Hills immediately knew where this was headed."Look how thin you've become son! Are you skipping meals""No mom! I don't skip meals.. I take my meals when necessary""I don't think it's so!! look at you, You've lost some weight. If only you have a woman by your side.. to take good care of you and watch your every need. You know I can't always be there for you. What you need is a wife"Hills was forced to roll his eyes but prevented himself from doing so, so it doesn't seem disrespectful.He knew
Hills and Martina were having breakfast together without saying a word to each other. Martina kept moving uncomfortably on her seat and sighing audibly so Hills could start up a conversation with her but he played no attention to her.To Hills, he wants her to leave his house as soon as possible and he wants her to say it herself but it doesn't look like she'd say it."You should really get your bruise treated.." Hills started."Sure I will" Martina smiled, at least Hills cares about her.. That she thought!!"If you care so much about it, why don't you take me to the hospital yourself?"Hills looked at her with raised brows.. She just said something really meaningless that he can't seem to comprehend. He focused back on his food, ignoring her. Martina felt awkward and went back to eating.. She shouldn't have said that!"When are you leaving?" Hills asked again, after sometime."Leave?""Of course! You begged to spend the night here and I let you. You should be planning on leaving, sh
Under the guise of work requirements, Hills made Regina stay by his side. Just like the last time he made her come over to his mansion, he made her work on some files and the ones that aren't even necessary.He wanted someone by his side at his moment of weakness and Regina did the trick. Somehow, her presence made him forget about Martina and everything else.It didn't stop there, Hills fired the PA his mother had gotten for him. He noticed that She was trying to seduce him by removing the buttons on her shirt and exposing her cleavages when she's with him.The sight was irritating to him and he hates when a lady is trying to force herself on him. His mother would never stop until he finds himself a woman and settle down with, which he's not ready to do.Without thinking twice, he made Regina his PA instead.. He saw the disapproval on her face but he didn't bother at all. Part of the reason he wants Regina to be his PA is because he wants her by his side all the time. It's still real
