A couple of weeks had gone by and Zoëlla was busy with meetings and projects. She wasn't talking to Alejandro that much because she went to work early and returned late, exhausted and hungry. Alejandro buried himself in work often. He didn't want to be idle, else he would be affected by Zoëlla's absence and her not able to return his calls often. That's not what she promised. He thought rubbing his temple. As if on cue, his phone rang displaying her Caller ID as he picked up the call. “Hola," He said. “Hola Ale, Como estas?" Zoëlla asked. “I'm well and you?" She could sense he wasn't happy. “Are you fine, you sound unhappy." She said “It's just I don't know what's going on anymore, it looks like we're too busy for each other these days as if we're drifting apart." He sighed. He was right. It seemed like their relationship was on hold. They all prioritised their jobs over what they shared and that wasn't going to help them at all. “Youre right Ale, I realised that also and I do
2 years later. “Mi hija, I understand you, and how you feel and I realise you're right. It's time you got married and started your own family. For the company, it's yours, your property now and you've proved to be competent and capable of handling it. How I wished your parents were here to see this." Her grandpa said. “Graçias Abuelo, and thank you and Abuela for everything, you've been the best parents one could ever ask for." She smiled holding his hands. “And you're been the best granddaughter, ever." Her Abuela said walking into the study. “Go get your man, Zoëlla." She said hugging her. Alejandro walked into his office in smiles. “Hey, Mrs Montreal." Ale teased Layla. She had gotten married to Pierre a year ago. “Hi, Ale." She smiled. “It's good to see you well again." She added. “Thank you, for your support and just thank you." He genuinely added. “You're welcome, and I need you and Matilda to help me set up something for Zoëlla, I want to propose and she doesn't know
I'm sorry, Miss Zöella...but we won't need you; your services are no longer required here. We appreciate them, but they are no longer required." According to her boss. "But, sir...what went wrong?" She inquired, perplexed. "I'm saying your services are no longer required...do you want me to call security on you?" He inquired angrily. "No, sir, no need...I'd leave." She added as she walked out of the office. As she walked through the door, she let her black hair cascade down her back as she grabbed her bag and phone from her office.Goodbye Zealot and co. She said to herself as she flagged down a cab."Thanks." She paid the driver and entered her apartment. "Luciano, Estoyencasa." She kicked off her shoes. "Luciano?" She was walking towards their bedroom when she heard moans. When she opened the door, she discovered her three-year boyfriend in bed with another woman. "Luciano...how could you, who is this puta?" She inquired, angry tears streaming down her cheeks. The agony of l
"Buenas Dias sir." Zoëlla greeted as Alejandro entered the kitchen. "Dónde está mi café?" He asked ignoring her greeting. "It's here." She said handing him his black coffee with milk and no sugar. It was warm just as he liked it. He drank the coffee as he checked his phone to see if he had new messages from the office. "Buenas Dias Ale." Kathy greeted as she walked in dressed in her morning robe which stopped mid-thigh exposing her olive skin and long legs. "Good morning Kathy." He added making Zoëlla shocked as to why he didn't answer when she greeted. "Espero que te haya gustado tu café?" She asked as Zoëlla stared at them at the corner of her eyes while she stirred the pot of sauce. "No estuvo mal Ella lo intentó." He added as Zoëlla smiled sadly at the food she was cooking. "Kathy, Layla would come and pick up some files in the afternoon. They are on my bed so do well to hand them over to her." He stated. "I might not be around so Zoëlla will handle that." She added. "
It had been a month since Zoëlla had worked with Alejandro. She had learnt to get used to his crazy mood swings. One day he's nice and the next minute he is rude. She'd learnt the meals that he loved most and those he didn't like. She could tell how his eyes lit when his favourite foods were served and how he hardly ate a plate full of the ones he didn't like. She had been hearing from Kathy, once a while who was living her life to the fullest, travelling around the world. She, Sia and Edwardo had become good friends. "Hi Zoëlla, Layla greeted as she walked in with her boss." They had some files to finish off since it was getting late Alejandro suggested they complete them in his house. "Holla Layla, Holla Sir." She responded to Layla's greeting and greeted her boss who waved her off. She served their dinner and took it to his study room as he had requested. She placed the tray on the centre table and dished out the food. It was Paella. She could see the smile on her boss's tir
Alejandro and Zöella's friendship had become strong. They stayed up and talked for hours when Alejandro came from work. "Zöella, I need you to be my plus one for a charity ball tonight." He added. "A ball, I don't think I'd fit in with you fancy people Ale." She called him by his pet name. "Eres Una Mujer deslumbrante, Zöella, you'd fit in perfectly." He flattered her. "Thanks, a que hora es el baile de cardiac?" Zöella questioned. " It's at 8 p.m, I'd pick you up at 8:30 pm." He added smirking. "Always fashionably late huh" Zoëlla asserted. "It's fun that way, I'd pick you up later." He expressed as he headed to work. "Hola Sia, I need your help. It's a dress emergency." She told her friend. "I'd be there in a few," Sia added as she hung up and heading out making sure the house was locked. Her bosses always travelled were hardly home. Within a couple of minutes later, she was ringing the doorbell to Alejandro's residence. Zöella got the door for her friend and led her to her
The relationship between Alejandro and Zöella had bloomed into a beautiful friendship. They could stay up late talking after Zöella was done with her chores."How is your new life treating you ?" She asked Sia who had come to visit her friends.She was no more wearing the maid uniform but a beautiful floral dress paired with 6-inch open toe heels.Her hair was held in a tight ponytail and her simple makeup complimented her face. In all, she looked stunning.She had met Mr and Mrs Casagrandes son, Miguel Casagrande, a business tycoon. He was down to earth and jovial.The two clicked as soon as they met and they were working into a relationship."It's fine so far, I'm loving every bit of it and Miguel is such a Buen chico." She sighed dreamingly. "Alguien Esta enamorada (Someone is in love)" Zöella teased her friend."You're just one big tease. Anyways, what's going on with you and Mr Sexy Alejandro ?" She asked her friend."Well, nothing much, just hanging out as friends do." She empha
“Alejandro, why did you bring your domestic staff here with you? What is she to you?" His dad yelled. "Papa, calm down Zoëlla is my friend and a nice person, you'd like her when you get to know her." He reasoned. "I can see where this is headed, you'd end up falling for her and would want to marry but I don't approve and would never." The man barked. "Querida, cálmate, es una Buena chica y sería una Buena esposa. (Darling, calm down, she's a good girl and would make a good wife). ” His mom said. “Never would I agree for that buscador de Oro para casarse con mi Hijo. (Gold digger to marry my son.)" He added walking out. "Ma, No tengo intenciones de casarme con Ella. ( Ma, I have no intention of marrying her)." Ale reasoned. "Just give it time and you'd realise I was right." She said as she walked off. Zoëlla lay on her bed talking to her best friend Sia. "I hope you're having a good time there?" She asked. "Sia, I'm not. A su papá no le gusto. (His dad doesn't like me)." She f
