Storm POV
I'm currently in my office even though it's only 7 am. I often go in early so I don't get overwhelmed with work.
I remembered what my sister was saying again, why does Kiara trust her like that? I know she helped my sister last time but for her to bring her into my company is surprising.
My sister is kind but she is not easy to trust and even if I don't want the favor she is asking for I can't do anything but agree.
Yes, I am heartless to other people but when it comes to my sister I am different. I will just give that woman a chance and I know my sister already told her that if I don't like how she works, I will fire her immediately and I still need to hire someone.
Later I heard a knock on my door. Maybe this is what Kiara is saying to me." Come in,"
The door immediately opened and a woman entered, she was beautiful. "Good morning Mr. Alcantara." She greeted me.
"Are you what my sister is talking about?" I asked her.
"Yes, I am,"
"Sit down," I ordered her and she immediately obeyed.
"Maybe you already know what your job will be because Kiara has already told you right? I'll tell you the truth, I don't want you to be my secretary, I just gave my sister a chance so I hope you do your job properly because I don't want to waste my time and money on lazy people. Is that clear?" I promise.
"I don't want to force myself here either Sir, I'm just too shy to reject Kiara and I really need a job for my mother," she answered.
I didn't expect her to answer me, she seemed to be hostile.
"That's good to hear that. And maybe she also mentioned to you that your work is still temporary, maybe you can work in another department or my sister's boutique soon but not be my secretary anymore. You probably know the policy that I have, so I hope you understand that I can't just hire my secretary who has no experience and doesn't meet the requirements I want." I know straight away.
"Yes Sir, she already explained to me about that matter last night and there is no problem with me. I just really need a job right now.”
"My sister also mentioned to me about your sick mom, she needs to undergo an operation right?" I asked her and she nodded.
"Yes, that's why I accepted Kiara's offer to me."
I sighed. "Just make sure you take care of your work because I can fire you anytime. And I hope you don't take advantage of my sister's kindness because the moment I find out I can send you to jail." I told her.
"Don't worry Sir because I'm not that kind of person, I can't take advantage of the person who helped me."
"Good to hear that. Since you will be working as my secretary for now, you must not miss anything in my schedule, especially in my meetings, it must be updated every day. Is that clear?" I said.
"Yes Sir."
"I will help you pay for the operation of your mother. Is that okay with you?" I asked her.
"I-I haven't started working yet Sir. Your offer is embarrassing."
"No need to worry about it, I know your mother needs surgery before everything gets worse. And also so that you can focus on work without worrying about anything. I know that's the reason you're working. I'll cut it all to your salary." I explained to her.
"Thank you very much, Sir Storm."
“I am doing this thing for my sister, you should thank her,” I said.
She nodded and I immediately told her to start today and to update my schedules for tomorrow because I don't have a meeting today.
Beatrice POV
I'm currently sitting at my desk today. I still can't believe that I can work at Alcantara Company even though I haven't graduated from college. I owe a lot to Kiara even if it's only temporarily.
I finally met and saw Storm up close, he is handsome as many women say but he is arrogant and straightforward when he speaks. Looks like I need to get used to his behavior.
Lunch came and Sir didn't order me anything so I got up and knocked on his office. "What is it Bea?" he asked but his eyes remained focused on the laptop.
"It's lunchtime Sir, shall I buy you food?" I ask.
"I'm still full, just buy me a cheesecake and a frappe at Starbucks after you have lunch," he promised.
I returned to my seat and took my bag to go to the cafeteria of this company. When I got there, I stood in line to buy food. The prices of the dishes here are very high but I have no choice but to buy them because I don't want to go hungry.
After buying, I sat down at the empty table and started eating. "Miss, can we share a table?" I looked at a woman in front of me and when I saw her face, my eyes widened.
"Nicole?"
"Bea?"
"Gosh! It's you!" she promised enthusiastically.
"I didn't expect to see you here," I promised her. She is my best friend in college.
"Even though I was surprised, I didn't know you were working here because I just saw you today."
"Because I just started," I said.
"You are sulking, do you know how many times I went to your old house but you are no longer there,"
"I'm sorry, my father died so we have to move to a smaller house," I explained to her.
"Awww, I didn't even know Uncle was gone. But I'm happy because we met again. What department are you assigned to?"
"I am Mr. Alcantara's secretary," I answered her.
Her eyes widened. "Seriously? Oh my friend, good luck to you and your work."
"Yes, it's true, I heard that he doesn't have a long-term secretary, but I won't be with him permanently because he'll find someone to replace me. Maybe he'll transfer me to someone else, I don't know yet." I said.
"That's because he is strict with employees. That's why you know he won't be able to find a new secretary right away so you'll have to wait a little longer. Some of his secretaries want to flirt with him and not do their work properly so they get fired.
You know, our boss is serious about life and doesn't care about the surroundings and then has a hot head,"
"I agree! That's why he doesn't like lazy people at work because he doesn't want to waste money on useless things." I said.
Nicole laughed because of what I said and then we continued eating while talking. I'm happy because after a few years, we met again, she was my only friend who accepted me completely and of course, I also trusted her.
Beatrice POVTwo weeks have passed since I started working at Alcantara Company as Storm's secretary and the only thing I can say is that the core of my boss's behavior is bad, not a day goes by that he doesn't hate me but even so, I'm getting used to it I'm with him too. Maybe this is the reason why no one stays with him for long because he gets hot-tempered quickly especially when you do something wrong at work and I can't blame him knowing that he is just taking care of their company.I'm still happy somehow because I've been with my friend Nicole for a long time, we haven't had any communication since we moved house and fortunately she also works here so somehow I know someone. As for my mother, she was operated on a week ago with the help of Sir Storm because he spent everything in the hospital, so I need to fix my job because I owe him a lot. If it wasn't for his help, maybe what would have happened to my mother. For now he still remains in the hospital because it is still neces
Nigel POVI'm here today in the company of my best friend Storm, I just came back yesterday from abroad because I was attending to something there. I stayed there for almost a few months and just now came home.I was approaching his office when I saw the woman I didn't know, it looked like she was his new secretary, I approached her to ask if her boss was inside."Hi Miss." I congratulate you.He looked up at me. "Good morning Sir, do you need anything?" he asked politely."Is your boss here?"He nodded. "He's inside, do you have an appointment with him?"I shook my head. "I'm his best friend." I introduced him."Oh, I see, I'm sorry, I'm new so I don't know you. Just go inside and he'll be there."I just smiled at him and went straight inside. I caught up with Storm who was sitting in front while focusing on her phone."It seems that the CEO of Alcantara is not busy right now." I said laughing.It looked at me. "Gago! When did you come?" he asked."Just yesterday." my short answer."
Beatrice POV It's Saturday today and I don't have work so I'm here today at the hospital and watching over my mom, I'm happy because she's recovering little by little and I know that her life is no longer in danger. "I think you are thinking deeply." I looked back at my mother when she said this. "I'm just happy because you're doing well." I promise. She smiled at me. "And that's because of you son, without you I would probably be dead a long time ago." "Don't talk like that! I can't be alone yet." I know. "Anyway, how are you doing at work?" "I'm fine, I'm lucky in my job now because even though I didn't graduate, I was hired by that company and even became the CEO's secretary. I owe a lot to their brothers and sisters because they helped me to save your life." I said "Thank you, thank you for everything you have been doing for our family since then." "You guys are my responsibility, especially since we're the only ones left together. Maybe if dad was still alive we'd be happ
Kiara POVI just left the hospital because I visited Beatrice's mother and another one knows if she is there because she is not working at the company right now. To this day, I still can't stop laughing at his stories with me, it looks like my brother has found a match.I can't blame my brother for why he is like that, I know that until now he is still mourning. He is still longing for their presence and I'm the same even though I haven't been with them for a long time, how much more can my brother do. He didn't even know if he was still hurt even now even though it was a few years ago.He was okay somehow when he met Ate Kaye, I thought they would end up together but it turned out not because he chose to leave my sister. I witnessed how my brother's life became miserable when he and Ate Kaye broke up, but what I know now is that he is okay somehow.When I left the hospital, I saw Nigel leaning against his car and it looked like he was waiting for me. He is my brother's best friend an
Nigel POVWhile I was talking to Kiara, she just kept her head down and didn't even say a word, this is how she is when I speak seriously even if she is a brat sometimes, she knows how to listen to what is being said to her."Babe?" I called her name to get her attention.She looked at me. "I-i'm sorry," she exclaimed weakly."I'm not mad at you okay? I'm just mad at what you're doing and I don't want that to happen again, especially since I'm here again." I promise."W-what do you mean?""What kind of question is that? Of course, I'll take back what's mine," I said.She didn't answer right away and just kept looking at me so I ruffled her hair. "I told you the last time we talked that we will fix our misunderstanding right?" I said."I thought you would never come back to me.""Who said that? You know I love you." I said.I took one of her hands and put the ring on her finger causing her to cry all the time."I had that ring made to replace the first one I gave you." I smiled.She qu
Storm POVI went to the bathroom to calm myself because of the frustration I am feeling now because Beatrice didn't remind me of the meeting I had today with one of my investments. So I can't help but feel frustrated."You've been working here for two months, haven't you? And I always remind you that all my schedules should be arranged by you! What's so hard to understand?" I snort at her."And I've told you several times, Sir, yesterday I reminded you of that meeting. I didn't know you weren't listening and you didn't keep it in your mind.""You're going to blame me now? You're my secretary, that's just your job. Yesterday was different from today and you must remind me again! Do you know how important that client is? And because of your stupidity, I lost it!" I shouted at her."I doing my job properly and how many times I have told you that I already reminded you about that meeting earlier, so it's not my fault anymore that you forgot it,""No matter what you say, that thing can't d
Beatrice POVI just arrived here at the hospital to look after my mother. Until now, the words my boss said to me have not disappeared from my mind. He is right, I shouldn't have answered him like that because I owe him a lot because he was the reason why my mother is still alive.I don't know why he behaves like that because his sister Kiara is kind, maybe one person doesn't have the same behavior even if they are siblings. I just hope he learns to laugh at least once."Bea, is there a problem?"I looked at my mother when she suddenly spoke and I immediately shook my head, "Nothing, there's just too much work done in the office." my answer."Maybe you are tiring yourself out too much or your boss is making you do a lot,""My work in the office as a secretary is easy, I just manage my boss's schedule," I promise."Is your boss treating you well?""Sometimes he's kind and sometimes not. I can't blame him because his company is also important to him and one more thing I know is that whe
Storm POVIt's Monday but I'm still at home. My sister left early because she and Nigel were going somewhere. I'm happy that they get back together.I just finished taking a bath because I'm planning to visit my parents today. It's been a month since I last visited them because I've been busy with the company and a lot of meetings.When I finished getting ready, I took my wallet and car keys and left the room. First I drove to a flower shop and bought fresh flowers that were my mother's favorite.It didn't take long before I reached where my parents were and opened the gate. I placed the flower I brought in front of their tombstone and sat next to it."Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! How are you there in heaven? Are you happy together? I am working hard for the company and until now Alcantara is still at the top, while the cafe and boutique are also extremely successful because of Kiara," I said."We know how hard you worked for those things and we will take good care of it. We will a
