Chapter 7Getting things wrapped up, and being placed in order for the retreat was quite exhausting. I had arrived back in California on Sunday night and had to get up early to prepare for work the very next morning, it wasn’t necessarily an Ideal situation, but then again life has never given an option to make my own choiceThrough out the week various important looking people came in and out of Miss Diaz office, I barely even saw her one on one. Regardless, however. I knew it was going to be unavoidable once the weekend arrives, the thought of it makes me very anxious and at the same time giddy or should I say excited. “Sidney”I suddenly looked up from my computer screen to see Miss Diaz standing at the door. “I hope everything is in order for the retreat?” She was dressed in a vintage shirt coupled with a plain high waist trouser, her black hair was slightly curled. I found my self staring at her, the tattoos on her neck was slightly visible from leaving two of the shirt but
“Don’t think much about it, maybe it’s the other plan, the emergency business meeting in her other company” The CEO has another company?Even without looking back I know who that voice belonged to. Alex whites called out to me as she approached the about-Leaving bus,“Sorry, you won’t be attending the retreat with the rest of us.” I stood there looking at her lips as they move, I was no longer listening to what she was saying, I should go pack my stuffs “ Don’t keep her waiting for long” Now where did I stop?I blinked Multiple times, as if that will make Alex whites repeat all she had said when I stopped a listening, she wasn’t saying anything, she stood and stared daggers at me before handing the files she was holding to me “ don’t bother going through them, just go give it to her” she said before turning on her heels. It’s all making sense to me now, I’ve been fired, and black listed from attending the retreat, now I’m on my way to get the final blow of it. What exactl
I wasn’t so much clarified on how wealthy Miss Diaz was, but booking a whole private jet to Mexico? She’s filthy rich then!. My whole body aches from sitting for so long, we clearly didn’t talk much on the trip, we quite talk about business and only business related conversations. We had nothing special, nothing informal or rather extract to talk about, although I so badly wanted her to say something to me, something that isn’t so work related, maybe why Evelyn was spread out naked in her office, at least about what she was. But I’m not sure she owes me any explanation, I’m just a PA, I should be glad I’m not in my confiscated apartment boxing my stuffs and getting my self ready to go back to Detroit. We arrived at Mexico City at late noon, you needed not to be told you’ve arrived, with the Spanish music and fries so obvious in the air, we were on an island situated not so far across a blue sea, not so close but it’s waves are felt as the wind kisses my face, I looked a
Chapter 10 “Ugh, this humidity is going to ruin my curls if it continues this way” I tried to keep a neutral face as I stared at the complaining blonde, she had on a T- shirt that says “FUN SUMMER” and was looking at the broken bottles of champagne on the floor. It seems like she will break into tears sooner than I thought. I averted my gaze to stop me from rolling my eyes. It was the first official day of my presume Fun summer retreat with Miss Diaz and I was standing amidst a group of people from different companies. We had just finished introducing ourselves with Miss Diaz doing most of the talking, but I could hardly recall anyone’s name. When I woke up this morning, Miss Diaz was no where insight, she had already left the room with a note on my bed side telling me she already left for a very crucial meeting and drooped the address of where she would be next, and I knew already that’s where I will be meeting her. There were more people that aren’t my age a
Silently Miss Diaz turned to her back after she was done dressing up , and I was still standing at the same spot, with my towel still wrapped on my body. I wasn’t so shocked I hadn’t moved but I was sure she was , and she understood that without me saying any words. “Wear something comfortable, we will be going for a walk” Miss Diaz said in her bossy voice. She’s such a sinister.I was wearing a short jumpsuit and palms since we will be walking on sands, miss Diaz was wearing a camouflage cargo pants and a matching jacket coupled with Air-force trainers. “We can go now.” I said as I walked past her and was now standing In front of the door. My body was still on fire, and I couldn’t bring myself to look at her. For the next few moments we walked in silence in the direction of the sea. The sounds of people faded away until all we could hear was the susurration and whispers that comes from the sea. “You know” Miss Diaz said, breaking the awkward silence between us “it’s q
“the ice cream, I took a little lick out of it and he smiled at me as encouragement.The image of my father blurred away, and I found myself standing at the front door of my house.I was standing there, with my boxes layer down at my feet. My mother was yelling at me, and my father stood at the corner with his eyes not looking at me. “Mum pleas” I begged, my voice trembling “don’t do this, I’m still you’re daughter, I - I can go back to conversion and I will be normal again, I will do anything. Please”“No,on this day you’ve seized to be my daughter” my mother’s voice was firm. It lacked any emotion. Lacked any sympathy or pity in it. “Daddy, please” There was no reply. He couldn’t even look at me. “Get out” my mum said. Her voice was harsh. “Out, Now!” There was the sound of my trembling voice echoing in multiple please.Mum, please. Please. Pleasee.“Sidney. Hey Sidney, wake up” a voice said from above me. I could feel hands were on my shoulders, shaking me furiously. “Please
“Would you like to go for a speedboat ride, Sidney.” “You have a speedboat” I asked dumbly like she has not just mentioned that.“Uhm, yeah I do have a speedboat and also a Titanic ship, now you make a choice princess, come” she turned around and began walking towards the beach, I guess that meant I should follow her, so I did. I walked behind her, taking in her beautiful curves and toned body through her bathing suit and her long sexy legs. A number of people whizzed passed us, spraying water everywhere. “Here we are” miss Diaz said, stopping in front of a speedboat.It was big, the normal kind of big, painted white and a blue painting of the sea with lily on the side of the water, the art on the boat was simple yet beautiful just as it’s owner. One could easily notice the luxurious interior look of the boat, not minding its form, that’s one thing about Miss Diaz, she has the power to turn simplicity into maleficent.“It’s beautiful” “I know right” I never meant for her
“You’ve been sitting here alone for awhile now, looking like one of those lonely girl French paintings”. I snapped my neck around meeting a brunette lady with an apron that has the hotel name on it, she has a radiant blue eyes, her face has the evident look of stress on it, and with one glance one could tell she needed a break. The sun has gone down now, giving rise to the dusk twilight. The beach looked almost empty, just the roaring sound of the ocean, and clicking sound made by me. But now I have the company of some stranger talking to me looking all smily and all I could do is sit here and gawk at her. “Hey, my name is Melissa, you don’t mind I join you?” Her Spanish accent was strong in her sentence, i nod my head in respond and shifted to make space for her. She sat next to me, “what is your own name?” She asked.I’ve clearly lost it by not returning back her greetings properly.“Am Sidney” I said bringing my lips to a slight smile. As I looked up at her. “This place l
