The much awaited day for Conrad had finally come. Being nervous and excited were an understatement of how he was feeling right now.
He wokes up early to prepare. The bidding will start at nine and it will be held in Northern State Branch Conference hall so he better start preparing things early.
He finally took off at exactly eight o'clock.
After fifteen minutes he had been gone, Siren took her phone and called Harry. He was a person that Felix put on her account and will be acting as her personal assistant.
"Good morning, Young lady Mendez." He greeted with a cheerful voice.
She smiled to herself. She have never seen a cheerful person as this Harry Nelson in her life. He had such an energetic voice that seems like his a guy who will never take troubles as a serious thing. By that, she wondered what's on Felix's mind to give her a personal assistant
News of Eastern Construction Company’s selection in the bidding held quickly spread all over the internet. The secretary from the Director's office officially posted the results of the bidding and the selected companies.Siren smiled at the satisfaction she felt. Felix never turn her every words down. Even though he had an arrogant attitude when it came to her, at least he still knew who should be the one to obey between the two of them.Hah! if she only knew this was how to be a real boss, she should have just worked for the company. It will hit two birds with one stone if that's what she thought then.She has a better chance of irritating Felix without any complains, she can still get everything she wants with just a snap of her fingers.But she can only smile with the thought. Maybe she was enjoying how she can overpowered Felix, but she merely not having any intentions on taking her personal issues against him at wo
Mendez MansionSylvia heard the door open. But she didn't look at it. Only when she heard it close again, she then turned in its direction.She leaned against the backrest of the swivel chair she was sitting on, ticking her fingers on the edge of the arm rest.Olivia's eyes met his. Her looks were full of confusion, while Sylvia's aura was calm and composed.None of them wanted to break the awkward silence between the four corners of that room."Sylvia, no one told me you came back. When did you arrive?" Even though the woman showed enthusiasm in front of him, under Sylvia's critical gaze she knew it was just forced."Actually, I only came the other day. I just didn't go straight here. I attend those business matters first. I had left too many matters behind." Sylvia's face was expressionless as she spoke."Oh," Olivia throw herself on the sofa casually. On her peripheral view, she saw Sylvia rose a
SIREN'S POVThere was nothing else on my mind all day, except what Conrad had done earlier.I also feel that he’s been avoiding me since we last talked. I've tried to talk to him a few times since we arrived at the resort but he doesn't seem to see me.Until I decided not to try to approach him. After all, there are many more opportunities in two days. One more thing, I’m sure he’ll come close to me too when he misses me.I smiled at the thought. Yes. He would come to me when he misses me. And when that happens, I will retaliate for the way he ignores me. Hmp! He'll see!When the whole family finished their dinner, I said goodbye to go for a walk on the beach.The air is fresh. Along with the noise of the surroundings, is the sound of gentle waves crashing on the shore.
Conrad's POVI rushed to Reena's direction as I heard her scream so loud. Luckily, the door wasn't locked and it gives me an easy access to come inside. Only to find her wiggling hard from the man's grip.The man forces to kiss her while she's pushing him with all the strength she have.I couldn't bear to look at her anymore. I gave that bastard a blow and it knocks him off on the floor. Unconscious.I quickly approached Reena and saw her trembling. Her eyes were half open while groaning."Reena? Reena, are you okay?" I shake her shoulders."Go away..." She said with her trembling voice."It's me, Conrad. Can you hear me?" I cupped her face and make an eye contact.Her eyes couldn't focus for a couple of seconds. Until they slowly look into mine.I noticed how she swallowed hard. Soon after, she c
Couple of days had passed, Conrad still keeping his distance from Siren.Whenever he sees that the woman wants to approach him, he immediately makes an excuse to avoid her.Honestly, he didn't want to do that to the woman. But he knew that if he didn't avoid her first, they would just continue their relationship. And he knew in his heart that it would not be good for him.He wanted to avoid her not just for forgetting what happened at the resort, but to protect himself from the woman as well.He knows her kind. If she would found out that he was with her that night, he was sure she would cling to him and take every opportunity to get him.She's just like any other women who will do anything to have a comfortable life. And he didn’t want to be an instrument in the woman’s antics.He still have many dreams in life and he will not allow her to be an obstacle for him on reaching his goals.B
They say that a woman's stress reliever, is shopping.And since I have a whole day to roam around, I decided to drag my assistant everywhere I go.The first thing I did is buying a top car. Using the Gold Card that Felix gave, I can roam around and take all I want.Since I was too stressed from the past few days, I decided to go to the city to release my stress.Too bad that Felix is so busy, I could have made him my assistant for today and pissed him off if he's not that really engrossed with his work. But luckily, Harry is there to catch up with me.He almost dropped his jaw when we arrive at the casa where the latest cars are being displayed. Every car worth a couple of millions of dollars.I can’t help but laugh whenever the salesman mention every single price of the cars that are there. They are the most ex
Jeff Carlton's face turned into a frowned when he saw the luxury sports car parked in front of the Younas' residence.He couldn't believe that the Young lady thought about exposing herself in that way. Isn't she thinking good enough? It's a freaking Luxury car that worth bunch of money and she's displaying it like it was just a taxi?From there, a man who accompany her the whole day, got off the car and turn to open the door for her.After few more talking, she walks towards the gate. The car took off when the lady got inside of the house.Jeff also parked his car on the garage. After a whole day of following her everywhere she goes, this is the first time he felt tired after a long while. He decided to take a shower but thinks about calling his first."The lady purchased a car today.""A car? Why would she purchase a car? She didn't even have a driver's license." The First Madam's voice really sound so
I've waited enough time until I hear that someone open door next to my room. I'm sure it was Conrad. I quickly walk towards the door and open it. When I saw nobody is around, I open the door where he came in. I saw him already sitting on the swivel chair behind his desk. Mixed with sadness and anger, I walk towards him. I pressed my palms on his desk while looking at him straight in the eye. "What do you want?" His cold voice makes me feel like crying right now. "How can you do that to me, Conrad?" I swallowed hard to stopped the tears from falling. "I am the one who supposed to ask you. How can you do that to my aunt and fiancee?" Even his eyes were full of coldness as he stare back at me. "They first insulted me. I had no choice but to defend myself." "They do what? Insulted you?" He scoffed. "On what part did they insult you? Fo
