Dozens of Half dressed hot guys dancing and mingling with her colleagues that now occupied Sana's backyard was her idea of a barbeque party, of course with drinks and grilled meats. Seeing people she hadn't invited was not. Sana watched the newcomers in surprise as they trooped into the yardBianca and Andria joined her, watching the new guest mingling with the hired dancer."Sophia's done it again. Now we have to order double of everything, and there aren't enough guys anymore" she grumbled, sipping at the wine she held."Told you guys she always ruins a party. She invited her whole freaking team for our barbeque gets together" Bianca uttered, turning to see Sophia coming through the door. "Talk of the devil".Sophia smiled, both hands held out in front of her. "I'm so sorry I got here late" she rushed out, as they took in her appearance."What happened to your top?". Santa asked, pointing at the stain.Sophia glanced at it. She had forgo
Sophia, Bianca, Andria, and Sana stood outside the company, staring up at the vast complex of it. The breathtaking way it looked in the early hour of the morning grabbed the attention of the onlookers. They snapped out of their trance, almost simultaneously."Well here goes nothing. Wish me, luck guys."Bianca touched her shoulder assuring. "You've got this Sophia. If you're in a bind, just text us. We'll help you out" she looked at the other, who nodded in support. "Yeah, you should text me. I've been doing this for years" Andria bragged, making the others roll their eyes.Sophia smiled. "I'll make sure to do that ma'am". She hugged each of them in turn. They all walked in, separating only at the elevators leading to their different department.Sophia made sure not to wear heels, feeling grateful for that particular rule. She put on a darker shade of clothing, making sure to look trim and proper, she watched her reflection on the glassy wall smir
Lennox froze as he stepped out of his office, his gaze slipping to his assistant, who seemed to brighten the spot that she occupied. Her smile was radiant, What was she happy about? even after how I scolded her earlier. Lennox looked over at the other workers who were all busy at their desks, except Sophia. She had earbuds on, probably listening to music. Sensing his presence, she looked up, meeting his gaze, her eyes widened as she took out the earbuds in a rush, grabbing her schedule pad. He shook his head, heading towards the elevator, not wanting to hear her say anything that he already knew about. Lennox got in before she could get a word out of her mouth.The elevator pinged close, giving him some moment of reprieve. She rubbed him the wrong way, and he couldn't pinpoint the reason why it was that way. The business meeting turned out better than he thought it would, the investor hadn't bargained much before they agreed to his terms, but he felt like bricks were being
"Why is he so fucking agitated". Sophia murmured as she stood by Lennox's door, listening as Len paced around the office. Sophia clutched her schedule pad tighter as she waited. The door pushed open, causing her to back away. Lennox stepped out of his office, startled as he took notice of her, but then he was striding off towards the elevator. She rushed after him, almost shouting his schedule at him in a rush."... By noon, you have a business meeting with the men from the LC branch to plan the new strategy for producing the new batch of fabrics that would be used for the summer collection, you have your free hour by two pm for lunch and doctors appointment... " She almost stumbled into him as he halted abruptly in front of the elevator, Sophia quickly got it for him before he could, his finger coming to rest on her. He jerked away from the contact, his full glare directed at her. Lennox entered the elevator, not speaking a word to her. The door closed making Sophia swear.
Restaurant.Lennox scanned the menu but nothing caught his gaze, Vince waited patiently as the server fidgeted beside them. Lennox motioned the server closer, pointing at what he wanted. The server left, grateful to be out of their presence. "You're making everyone uncomfortable with your scowling. Stop ruining a dinner we haven't even started yet"."I'm not scowling, I'm just tense today".A small grin tugged on Vince's lips. "Why? Did you fight with your girlfriend or what". Lennox flinched, his gaze fixed on the champagne flute, and jaws clenched. "I think I should leave, I don't have an appetite anymore" he got out, proceeding to stand before Vince reached out to stop him. Lennox remained seated, watching Vince's features tighten as he got serious, his fingers that were clad with expensive diamond rings running through his hair in frustration."It's been six years Lennox, I thought you'd be better now, haven't you moved on
He did leave his door open when he was not in the office. Sophia smiled, entering his office with a bag filled with the items that she had gotten to add more color to the office. The space of the room never ceased to amaze her, and the view from the window was spectacular, if only he left the shades up. He had a closet beside his desk which was insanely cool, the sliding door was decorated with a dark leafy pattern. Sophia couldn't resist getting a peak. She pushed the door open, taking stock of the neatly arranged shirts, suits, shoes, and other accessories. He should move into his office, cause I don't see why he has a house anymore. She shrugged the thought off, bringing out a disposable smoothie cup filled with strawberry smoothie_just because she wanted to piss him off, but make him happy at the same time, she arranged his files, dusted the furniture then placed the small flower pot with a cactus on his desk. Why a cactus? Because he was a prickly ba... Sophia stopped herself
BOARD ROOM.Lennox was in a sour mood, hence why he found the littlest reason to lash out at any discrepancies that cropped up in his manager's report. It didn't sit well with him that he had been genuinely happy for a moment when he deserved to be sad all the time, he also didn't like the low-profit margin he was seeing in their monthly report."You're telling me this is all we have so far, no increase at all this month" he directed at Jonathan."Sir Lennox, this year, I mean to say that the midyear sales are usually this low, because of the heat, people don't feel the need to explore, travel or try new things, they prefer to stay home where it's more comfortable, hence why they don't patronize our business". Jonathan replied, looking to the others for support."Are you going to give me such a cheap excuse, because of all the things I expected, it was not that. People don't want to buy our items?" He scoffed, his hard gaze cutting at Jonathan. "Need I remi
Lennox stepped into his office, stopping in his tracks as he noticed that everything had been cleaned and arranged. A strawberry smoothie graced the center of his, with an energy bar. The review of the financial reports was placed neatly on his desk, she had highlighted all the important details making it a lot easier. He looked around for the phone he had smashed, searching the waste bin but coming up with nothing. He stepped towards his desk, picking up the paper underneath the smoothie.Dear sir.Don't worry about the phone, I already got a new one. The smoothie is to make your day brighter and enjoy the additional snack. I already reviewed the report, so that's cleared off your schedule for today. Have a nice day sir Lennox Ray".Your assistant.Lennox read and read it again, remembering the day before, how he'd shouted at her and smashed her phone. He felt horrible, even tho he'd been at breaking point, his head on the verge of exploding, he shouldn't have taken his anger out on
