Kayden arrived in his office and Anna walked in after him. He took off his coat and hang it. And as he sat down, a call came into his phone. He picked the call. “Good morning.” “The chairman is in America and some Ceo are visiting him already. I will suggest you should also come and greet him. At least that will push up your chance of winning the contract.” The Spanish chairman’s secretary gist. She was familiar with Kayden and kept his update just like many other secretaries, because he gifted them or they fell for his gorgeous look. “Okay, thank you,” Kayden appreciated, asking for a clue. “What do you suggest I should get for him? Maybe something he would like.” The Spanish secretary scoffed and answered. “He is mood swing. He might not like what he likes today tomorrow. But he loves people impressing him with what they can do.” “Okay, thank you.” Kayden appreciated, and they ended the call. “Anna, find me the list of the most expensive male dress and jewelries in Spain.” He o
Kayden visited chairman Lexx’s office, but he didn’t meet him and he waited for him in his office. An hour later, chairman Lexx arrived and met Kayden waiting for him. “I am sorry for keeping you waiting.” Chairman Lexx apologized immediately as he entered. Kayden smiled. He stood up and bowed his head. “Good morning, sir.” Chairman Lexx walked to the couch and sat down, responding, “morning, son, how’s work?” “Fine, sir.” Kayden replied and sat down. “Hope there’s no problem? Why did you come unannounced early this morning?” Chairman Lexx questioned. Kayden beamed, lightly. “Not at all, sir…” He looked down, rubbing his hand. “About Steven Carissa…” Chairman Lexx cut him off. “I know that’s why you are here. I wonder what she has done to worth your precious time that you come here to convince me on her behalf.” “Actually, she has some potentials and if she joins us, she will have a great impact.” Kayden said. Chairman Lexx scoffed. “Potential?” “When this you become like t
Carissa entered the local restaurant, wearing a tight jeans and a cardigan, covering her face with a face cap. She looked around and went straight to the room, but she didn’t meet chairman Lexx inside. She dug her hand into the cardigan pocket and took out her phone. She dialed his number, and it didn’t ring twice before he picked it. “” I am there…” Before the chairman could give her a response, the waitress from the other day opened the door. She stood in front of Carissa and bowed her head. “He is not here, but on the other side.” “Okay.” Carissa ended the call and followed the waitress led. They turned left and right thrice till Carissa was confused and she wondered if she could remember the way out. The waitress stopped in front of the last room at a corner and opened the door. She bowed her head, directing, “Go in.” “Okay.” Carissa said, looking at the lady suspiciously. She entered the room, taking her steps slowly, one after the other. The waitress closed the door, and
Since three months ago that Carissa returned to America, sadness became an ocean, but she forced herself to swim, so she could see Ivory being happy again. And after Ivory dead, Carissa drowned. “Dear Carissa, we are sorry that Jackson company can’t accept your submission despite your good qualification. Try again next year. Thank you.” Carissa read out and discharged a deep, disappointed breath. Jackson company was her last hope because it was the fifteenth company she applied to and the other fourteen companies have rejected her. She shifted the chair back a little and placed her head on the table with her head touching the laptop keyboard. When Carissa was twelve, she won a scholarship from an unknown organization and they sponsored her throughout her education years. After she graduated from the most expensive university in New York as the best mass communication student of the year, the organisation secured her a job in Spain and she moved to Spain. When her parent died, she
ONE WEEK LATER... “Have you spoken with your sister?” Chairman Lexx asked, sitting comfortably with his head on the couch headrest, placing his hand beside him on the chair. “Yes, I spoke with her yesterday. Thank you for your help, sir.” Carissa beamed. “Also, I have met with the bank and settled half of the debt.” He announced. “Just half? But sir, you promised to pay for everything.” Carissa queried. He beamed lightly. “Yes. But I will pay the remaining half after you submit your assignment.” He said. “Okay, sir.” She accepted. “Carissa, which country is your sister at?” He inquired. “Spain. She chose Spain, and she called me immediately after she landed yesterday.” She answered with the transparent of excitement in her voice, smiling lightly. “I am sorry, I didn't tell you till now. After your sister called you yesterday, I had my men transferred her to another country.” He announced with guilt. “Why?” She yelled, standing up in anger. She lowered her voice and asked. “Wh
In a beautiful short black lace gown and a black stiletto heels, Carissa elegantly walked out of her mansion, with a black purse in her hand. “Are you ready, ma?” Rathnait bowed her head and Carissa nodded. “Yes.” Rathnait opened the car door and Carissa walked in. And the driver started the engine. “What’s the schedule for today?” Carissa inquired. “Nothing much,” Rathnait answered in simplicity. “You just have to go to Kayden and Amelia’s engagement party.” “Engagement party?” Carissa let out in surprise. The sadness in her didn't let her log in to social media for the past weeks, so she didn’t know about what was trending. “Yes, ma. Don’t you know about what’s trending?” Rathniat wore a smile and Carissa smiled insincerely. A call came into Rathnait’s phone, and she picked it. “Hello, sir.” She greeted and listened to order. “Okay, sir. I will do that right away.” She bowed her head a little. Rathnait looked at the driver and ordered. “Turn back home.” “Okay.” The driver
Carissa woke up. Her body was weak and she felt a slight pain in her body. With her eyes half opened, she stood up and sat on the bed for seconds before she crawled backward and rested her back on the wall. She yawned and brushed her hand through her face. And she looked around the room. “How did I get home?!” She thought to herself. Rathnait came out of the bathroom, dressing corporately. She bowed her head, smiling. “Good morning, ma.” “How’s your night?” She asked before Carissa could respond to her greeting. “Good morning,” Carissa smiled. “I don't know what my night was like, because I didn't even know how I get home last night,” “How did I get home?” Carissa inquired. The last thing she remembered was sitting down and drinking the first glass of wine. Rathnait raised her eyebrows in shock. Making a surprise tone, she queried. “Hun?! Don't you remember anything?" “What? Did anything happen? Did I drink to stupor and fell down in front of people?” Carissa asked in fear. “
“What's next?" Chairman Lexx tapped his forehead. He thought for a minute and let out. "I should call Charmaine, this is unusual of her…" He took out his phone and just when he wanted to dial her number, Mrs. Charmaine entered. "Good morning, sir," she greeted, bowing her head a little. She didn't give him a space to respond, and she quickly added. "How was your night?" "It's fine,” he answered in simplicity, and let out his worry. “Why are you late? I have been so worried." "I am sorry for worrying you, sir." she apologized and explained. "I went to bed too late last night and ended up waking up late." "It's fine. You have been my secretary for over nineteen years and this is the first time you are late. So, if I am not worried about you, I am not human," He pointed out, smiling. He put his phone down and threw a question. "How was where you went? Any good news?" "Where I went? What are you talking about, sir?” She acted innocent. He scoffed and eyed her for a few seconds. Be
