"I have full faith we will win the contract" Robert is so ecstatic as they gather together with documents on top of their table. The contract Harry just signed with the Wright Group of Companies. Contrary to what Xander said earlier, the result was immediately announced the same day he left. Director Amergusso personally calls for them to announce H&M acquired it.Skye and Dina are smiling the entire time Harry presented the documents. She just finished her breakfast when she got a message from Harry to meet him at the restaurant. After winning the argument she had with him about the joke she told, he peacefully conceded. But left her a stern reminder about their previous discussion. Despite fighting herself not to be ecstatic about Xander's plans, she failed. Now, she is looking forward to if he indeed keeps his word. And the news Harry gave them, put her in an anxious excitement. A complicated dilemma. She wanted to escape Xander's grasp as far as she could. But a huge part of
Speechless, she stares back at him. She can't discern why he wastes his valuable sleep to be on the road to pick her up at the airport. He has a lot of people to do it for him. "It's midnight" She mumbles, still in disbelief."I know what time it is, Miss Monticello" he snickers while patting the spot next to him. Without thinking much, she transfers next to him. And immediately, his arms rounded her, pulling her for a hug. Which she didn't resist.It's not time to be modest. With her arms wrapped around him, she lay her head on his shoulder. It feels like they are a real couple who have not seen each other for quite a while. It's surprisingly fulfilling now that they are together. "Congratulations. H&M acquires the contract. Director Amergusso has all praise for you. She even met with me to expedite its approval" He casually relays while nuzzling his lips on her forehead. She feels adored by the attention she is getting from him. "Thank you. We have a great team" She mumbles wit
Skye stepped inside the enormous office while Collins holds the door for her. And the first thing she saw is the dark look of the man behind the massive African blackwood table. "What took you so long? Is the marketing department this far from my office that it took you twenty-five minutes to reach here?" Halting midstep, she was taken aback by his outrage. She hasn't even reached halfway toward his table but she was already welcomed by his angry tirades. "Good afternoon, CEO Wright. I'm sorry for the delay" Whilst his sharp gaze bore into her, she greeted him politely. She can't understand why he is throwing fits in the presence of his assistant. "It could only take you ten minutes, at most, to come up here, Skye" he continue with his grim tone amidst her fair warning. "What are you doing?" In a whisper, she incredulously raves while still trying to be discreet. "What took you so long? Did you have several stops to say hello to your admirers?" Still not dropping his irritation,
The Marketing department is already empty except for her and Cheryl. The latter decided to stay after knowing she will stay late to finish her timetable for the day. It's actualy true, but more than the task she wants to finish, she doesn't want to go back to Xander's empty place. Yes, without him it's empty. Her mood immensely improves after calling Nico earlier but as the night progress, the emptiness is slowly returning. From blankly staring at the screen, her gaze averted outside where Cheryl is working on her computer. It's almost eight in the evening and her stomach is rambling. She is hungry. With the news she got from Xander earlier, she lost her appetite for any kind of snack. She also refused the coffee Collins prepared for her. She is so distraught to eat or even drink. And now her stomach is complaining. Without any ideas flowing in her usual brilliant brain, she turned off her computer and pick up her stuff. It's time to call it a day. "Aren't you hungry? Let's grab
It's already midday the next day, but the phone she got last night remains at peace without a call or message from him. The contact list is empty and she doesn't know what to do with it. She brought it into the office and places it beside her laptop. From time to time, she would glance at it, expecting something to happen."You're wasting your time, Skye" Burying her face into her palms, she whispers. She cannot seem to concentrate and it's because of the phone lying on her table. She admits it or not, she has been waiting for him to call or even just a message. She misses him and it's not even a day they are away from each other. Until it was lunch time but she receives nothing. Like yesterday she just went to the cafeteria and choose the same spot. However, unlike yesterday, some men greet her when she enters until she orders her food. They are cordial to be dismissed. She keeps her manners and greets them back. Some even stayed for a while to introduce themselves and exchange a
"Are we, Director?" Chuckling, Zachary playfully acquires the older woman's affirmation. "Don't amplify the already blazing fire with your chivalry, Mr. Simon" Without reticence, she casually mutters before the Director could respond and misunderstood the entire situation. "Hahaha. You're no fun, Miss Monticello" he smirks at the end. Being in the confines of the Director's office no one heard the reason for VP Simon's laughter. "This is purely a business dinner, Director. I don't plan to be roasted alive in this company before I could even fulfill my task" turning to the Director, she casually explains. "The night is not covered by the official office hours, Miss Monticello. Anyone could assume" A snickering smile carve the side of the Director's lips. "Well, let's extend my working hours today, Director. And you will be the approving superior for my overtime. This dinner will be an official function" undeterred by the implications thrown at her, she casually announces. "You'r
She just finished her nightly routine and was about to get in bed when the new phone vibrates again. "You're back home?" Xander's deep voice brought excitement to her tired limbs. "Yes. I'm in bed now" Snuggling into his pillow, she heaves a contented sigh. It's his smell on the pillow that accompanies her nights without him. "I'm still in the office. I just have five minutes before meeting the engineers" he languidly says."What are you wearing? Turn on the Facetime" She could hear the rustling when he shifted on his seat. And as he ordered, she turns on the camera. "Let me see you" He instructed.Like an obedient girl, she removes the thick blanket covering her. Slowly, she moves the camera from her face down to her entire body. "Gorgeous as always" he huskily whispers while intently watching her wearing a flimsy attire on the screen. To show him more, she moves the camera farther, and with her one leg folded, she poses while on her back. Her entire figure is displayed for his
Clad in tan color tailored shorts and a low neckline sleeveless cream color button top, she pairs it with signature heeled boots she found among the clothes delivered yesterday. "I love this outfit. Whoever is preparing these clothes, we have the same taste in wardrobe" Checking herself in the mirror, she smiles at her reflection. Her tiny dimples are showing at the sides of her pinkish lips, while her eyes disappear whenever she smiles, making her more charming. "I've never dreamt of wearing this collection every day. But I'm not complaining. It's simply superb" she giggles while turning around in front of the mirror. "Well, enjoy while it lasts" She gave herself another charming smile before grabbing the long sleeve coat that would complete her outfit. Today she wears an elegant three-piece business suit that gave her a model vibe. She just let her hair down, styled in huge curls at the ends. While a pearl earring adorns her ears, the only jewelry she wears. Her neck is bare of a
