Trying to figure out the reason for Jamie showing admiration at my project, I decided to ask, “It’s rare for you to speak highly of someone. What makes you have eyes on this candidate?”
Contentedly Jamie smiles, as he folds his arm and lays back on the chair, “His sense, together with every detail in his project.”
Oh wow, really?
I squint and tilt my head at him, “What does that mean?” for I am just a secretary, I don’t know much about architectural designing.
Seeing me putting up a silly smile on my blank face, Jamie decides to be generous and starts to explain.
“First of all, sitting among this city th
On the application form I filled up, other than my last name, the other details I filled up are true. And if Jamie intends to do a cross reference with Henrietta Chandelier’s detail on the application form that I filled in for the interview session, the truth that Henry Nosrevi and Henrietta Chandelier are the exact same person might be exposed.It’s too late to stop him from looking at Henry Nosrevi’s detail. I just hope he won’t have the need to look at Henrietta Chandelier’s detail any time before I am any closer to take Minerva back from him.Just when I am trying to breath as slow as I can to calm myself down, trying to prevent my anxiousness from attracting Jamie’s attention, Jamie has picked his smartphone up and dials a number, referencing the contact number written on Henry Nosrevi’s
I take a deep breath as I wait for the caller tune from Jamie’s phone to be heard.Time suddenly turns so slow that I can feel a creep catching me from my nape, so slowly... I can feel my limbs turn numb and cold sweat ooze out on my forehead.Trying to prevent my sweat from being seen, before they can trickle down my face, I carefully wipe them off with my hand.It’s not just my forehead, my hands are cold too. As I take a glance at them, I can see them shuddering, weakly.Then, just a few seconds later, my phone suddenly rings.I give my pocket a quick glance from the corner of my eyes. I take a gulp, yet I am not picking up the phone.
Suddenly, Jamie smiles.“You know what?” confidently, he turns to me and mentions, “We have his home address. I think we’ll just visit him there.”What? He wants to visit my house?He can’t visit my place, I have men’s clothes and stuff all around my house! He can’t see that!“B-but…” trying to change Jamie’s mind, I edge in, “But Jamie, I think it’s quite inappropriate-”However, before I can finish my sentence, Jamie grabs his belongings from his desk and stands up from his chair.With a cold tone, he says,
“A surprise?”“Yeah! Bosses like surprises like that.” Victor continues to propose, “In that case, we not only can prevent your identity from being unmasked, Henrietta can also pile up some contributions by arranging this contact between Jamie Lee Peyton and the person he was looking for so eagerly. Jamie Lee Peyton will feel so grateful towards Henrietta! That can ameliorate the impression he had for you, and even better, he is going to start falling in love with you.”After listening to all of his words, I take myself a moment to digest, not of the plan he described, but how smart and wicked he is to have come up with all those!“Vivi Baby.” I have no words to say other than, “You are a genius strategical mother fucking
It is officially twelve in the afternoon when Victor shows up at the main lobby of Minerva in a set of fancy floral suits.It is obvious that he was half way through his photo shoot session. Still, he came for me.“Henry!” he waves at me as he runs towards me, I can see him holding a card in his hand, “I mean, Henrietta!”With a big bright smile, I welcome him, “Vic! You’re here!”I run towards him too, until the both of us meet in the middle.While there, Victor suddenly grabs my hand and runs to the single sofas placed at one of the corners of the lobby.
I am going to cry! “What should I do? I can’t appear in the same place as two different people!”Victor’s face turns blank a little, I bet he hasn’t thought of that too!However, just a short while later, Victor’s expression suddenly turns bright.What’s with his face? I guess I can only believe that he has come up with a great idea.Before I have to figure out what has come to his mind, Victor suddenly makes a fist and knocks on the wooden coffee table with his knuckles.Just when his behavior claims a curious face from me, he puts up his palm covering his mouth from the side.
Twelve thirty on Monday afternoon, every restaurant and cafe are occupied with people, except for this Mexican restaurant called Dominguez Cuisine.The full glass walls of Dominguez Cuisine not only create an inside out situation to the users, they maximize the optical penetration to the highest possibility, allowing the interior of the restaurant to be completely unveiled to everyone who is looking in from the outside.Dominguez Cuisine seems so different from those traditional Mexican restaurants. The glass walls bring the natural sunlight into the space. The color of the sky and the clouds reflects on the surface of the glass walls, glass tables, picture frames, ceramic vase, and other decorations.They are so beautiful, they are all transparent, white or sky blue. The re
Around three quarters of an hour later, we finished all our food on the table.Jamie picks up the glass and takes a few sips of the sunset margaritas. While I follow too, except for the level of my liquid never goes down.I bet Jamie finds it weird somehow, he keeps looking at my glass.Trying to divert his attention, I suddenly start a topic.“Thank you for this wonderful lunch, I had the most palatable Mexican food.”Listening to my words, Jamie puts down his glass.“Thank you so much for being here on such short notice, Mr. Nosrevi.” he says, “You don’t know h
