Hannah’s POVWorking with Fernando was very smooth. He was always very polite and not pushy at all, always very calm. Well, almost always, yesterday he got pretty agitated late in the afternoon and rushed out before the end of the workday. But in general, it was quite pleasant. And there was Melissa, I became a fan of Melissa, full of attitude. I thought she would be angry with me yesterday, but on the contrary, she took things calmly. The best part was that she asked her detective friend to investigate that guy."Hannah, you're going!" Vincent appeared at the executive reception area, already deciding I was going somewhere."I'm going where you need me to go?" I asked, thinking it was something hospital-related."You're going out for drinks with the emergency room crew today. And don't make excuses, you're the big boss's assistant and we need to butter you up to get to him." Vincent laughed."Oh, Vincent, as if you two aren't friends." I laughed and put my hand on my face while observ
Melissa’s POVI didn't know which of the two was more delusional thinking they were fooling me, Fernando or Enzo, because of course Fernando coming to pick me up from work yesterday and insisting on dropping me off at my office today had more to do with jealousy than missing me. Oh, these two were giving me exactly what I wanted without me even having to ask. Life was good!"Hey, doll!" Enzo appeared all cheerful in my office. "I ran into Fred.""Yeah, he brought me here since he showed up yesterday to pick me up and my car stayed at the office." I rested my chin on my hand and watched that little schemer."Look at that, big Fred waking up to reality." Enzo ran his fingertip across my desk."What do you want, Enzo?" I knew he wanted something, he always did."You know what, Mel? I heard you have very peculiar taste in, let's say, smaller pieces," he spoke without looking directly at me."Smaller pieces?" I knew what he wanted, but if I could have some fun, why not? "Explain better.""O
Rafael’s POVI was quite worried about recent events and didn't know how to solve them. After what happened with Giovanna, the solution was to leave her at her grandmother's house, at least until I finished organizing her trip. I was very upset about having to send my daughter away because of something that shouldn't affect her. At least she wanted to go. I looked at my phone screen and saw an incoming video call from Raina."Hi, Rae," I answered with a tired voice."Hi Rafa. Explain to me why Gia is at my mother's house saying she's going to do an exchange program in Australia." Of course Raina had already spoken with Giovanna."Because things here are complicated, Rae. And I need Gia to be far away," I explained."She didn't get hurt in PE class, did she, Rafa?" Rae asked, very serious, almost irritated."No, she didn't, but I thought your mother didn't need to know what really happened." I took a deep breath."Then tell me what really happened," she asked. She was the only one who k
Fernando’s POVI was feeling pretty satisfied, having hit the mark with Melissa. I thought she would be mad that I had summoned the guys and ruined girls' night, but she was actually happy about my insecurity. And I was happy with how I was rewarded; I was sleepy, but it had been worth spending the night taking care of my girl. The roses were just the cherry on top, Henry's suggestion, and it was a great one. Things had definitely calmed down between us now.But my good mood and certainty evaporated when I got Enzo's message saying "princesses always find a prince" with a photo of a man putting a shoe on Melissa. What kind of circus was this? I called Enzo immediately."Hi, Fred!" Enzo answered as if surprised by my call."Enzo, what does this mean?" I asked."It means you need to stay sharp. Just because you scored doesn't mean you can stop playing," Enzo warned."Enzo, what are you trying to say?" I was too irritated to decipher metaphors at that moment."I'm saying you did great yes
Melissa’s POVI was humming in the office, almost like Maurice from the sales department who was always singing. Oh, but I was so happy, and I hadn't felt this happy in such a long time! My Fred surprised me yesterday. I was just a little sleepy because he was really inspired and barely let me sleep."Goodness, such joy!" Julia, Henry's secretary, teased me.She walked into my office laughing, carrying an arrangement of red roses in a crystal vase, which she placed on my desk."Wow, how beautiful!" I looked at the arrangement and assumed Henry was preparing something for Sam."Gorgeous, isn't it?! Just arrived for you." Julia smiled, picked up the little envelope nestled among the flowers, and handed it to me."Are you sure they're for me?" I asked.It was unusual to receive roses, they definitely weren't from Fred, as he always sent peonies. So who could they be from? I opened the card and could hardly believe what I read."So, who sent them? Because the prince doesn't send roses," Ju
Melissa’s POVI got a huge fright when I was hugged. I was ready to apply a self-defense move, but then I heard Fernando's voice in my ear. I analyzed what was happening there, the boys' club gathered together, invading girls' night. This didn't happen without reason.I waited for the lame excuses, waited for the girls to confront their husbands, but I knew very well that the reason they were there was sitting right next to me. So I stared at her, and since Hannah was such a terrible liar, my goodness! And I saw Rafael at some tables in front of us. I hadn't seen him before because I was too focused on watching Hannah, worried that she was having fun while the little rascal was passing information to Fernando."Dummy, tell me more about this jealousy crisis," I asked Patrick, because I knew Fred would try to deny it and Patrick couldn't hold back."Look, crazy, the only thing we know so far is that Fred called Alexander desperate, saying we had to infiltrate girls' night because the ba
