"By the way, did you get the hotel and resort big project somewhere South? The Ramos is a big-time client." Mr. Villacencio asked his son as they continue the dinner."Yes, Dad." Cedrick Miguel answered."That's good.""Come on, can we not talk about business? This is dinner Juan Miguel." Mrs. Villacencio castigated her husband."Yes, Catalina was right. No business talk for now and let's enjoy this wonderful dinner shall we?" Chelsea added."Why won't we talk bout the kids, instead? Son, when are you gonna make up your mind and settle?" Mrs. Villacencio sweetly teased her son which made Mr. Villacencio laugh. She could see that the old couple was sweet and very closed with their son to even talk about that topic in front of other people."We have been urging our son to find a woman and get married soon. We're not getting any younger and we want
As expected, she started taking the position of Executive Assistant that Monday. A lot of her co-employees got surprised of course. Some of them literally raised their brows and some of them teased and congratulated her after hearing the news. She can't blame others to talk about her since she was just a newbie and then suddenly got promoted to a higher position without proving something or achieving anything. She admits that a lot of employees who have proven themselves better are more deserving than her. But since her father and Cedrick Miguel had made the decision, she never tried to oppose it. There was this one instance when she accidentally heard Abigail, one of her co-analyst, and another girl she never recognized the voice was talking about her at the girl's CR one morning. She was sure it was Abigail because she could recognize her voice."After three months of being an Analyst, now she got promoted being Executive Assistant? That's so unfa
She didn't know how long she had been working but just a few hours after Cedrick Miguel left, he came back again to disturb her. He still wore the same smile that melts away the annoyance she felt towards his disturbance and all she can do is heave out a sigh to shake off the feeling that starting to make him feel. Trying to deny that she wasn't affected by that kind of smile, she tried to maintain her composure with furrowed brows to show him he was disturbing her."What do you want this time?" She stated showing her annoyance."Just in case you didn't notice, it was already lunchtime. Don't tell me you don't have plans to eat?" He replied cocking one brow."Oh..." Only words she could reply as her eyes automatically went down to her wristwatch to be surprised that it was already past twelve."Come on, let's go on lunch together." He in
"This project is a luxurious Resort hotel in the South Province. It's in a town called Calor Del Cielo located on a beautiful beach and scenic area." Her full attention got caught by her father's voice when she heard Calor Del Cielo from him.Their client Mr. Gutierez, asked for an unexpected conference meeting to talk about the construction of the said project. As an Assistant Executive, she has to make sure to conduct data to prepare documents for review and presentation by the board of directors and executives. To help in preparing and recording minutes as well from the meetings. As the meeting kept going, she tried to focus and get back on her job. A smile automatically formed her lips being glad to know that the new project will be in the beautiful place of Calor Del Cielo. It's a huge luxurious hotel resort project that will start to be constructed next week somewhere in South Province but she never thought that it will be in Calor Del Cielo i
Going back to her office, she never expected to see the person now waiting in her visitor's chair in her office. Being stunned to have found Cedrick Miguel prominently sitting at the chair in front of her table, she tried to heave a sigh and calm her senses.Did he go straight into my office after he adjourned the meeting? Seriously? What is this brute thinking! Is he not worried that people might talk about us and wonder what is he doing in my office every time? "What took you so long? Been waiting here for you..." A captivating smile welcomed her the moment he saw her enter her office."I have to settle things out in the Conference and have the minutes I recorded printed out first." She explained. "Why?" She added."You're overdoing your job. You don't have to do that." He commented. She then rolled her eyes as a response.Seriously? Don't have to do
As expected, the Annual Anniversary Party was grand and extravagant. Employees are in their best dresses and suits, guests such as rich people and celebrities in their expensive clothes flocked together and socializing. Photographers and media for tabloids and newspapers are ready to capture every important detail of the event as well. Just like she imagined, she will see familiar faces and famous socialites and celebrities, politicians and some well-known persons in the business world. No wonder this is not just an ordinary event, it's one of the biggest party events of the year. This is the reason why she doesn't like this kind of party. Money, fame, and glamour are the rules of the game beyond business. This is like a routine, people will stop for a while, meet and greet, exchange pleasantries and compliments with their acquaintances and she finds that unreal and too shallow.
"Is there a problem here?" They were both got stunned to find it was nothing but Cedrick Miguel who was now glaring furiously at Abigail while the latter's hand still raised in the air. Abigail couldn't help but gape in shock as she saw the dangerous glare of Cedrick Miguel. "M-Mr. P-President!" Abigail's voice seemed to shake in dread and fear as she guiltily put her hands down. "Uh... Miss..... What's your name again?" Cedrick Miguel asked full of annoyance and resisting anger. "A-Abigail Collins, S-Sir..." The woman replied stuttering.
After the party, he decided to drive home to their mansion that night. He doesn't feel like going home to his pad where he usually stays after a late-night party or a long important meeting. His mind was too bewildered and confused he might need a long drive to distract himself. His ego was hurt, his heart was pained and all he just wanted to do is drunk himself more. He was so upset about how things worked between him and Gav. It was never his intention to confess tonight but he got so pissed at how she got things in the wrong way. He never thought that all this time, she was thinking that he was after her stepsister when all along he was trying hard to show him that he cares and she was special to him. He liked her, he was attracted to her. No, that was an understatement, who is he fooling? This might be stupid but he knew it was deeper than that. Perhaps, he had already fallen in love with her all along. Or maybe, this is the hidden feelings th
