Siren couldn't do anything but to stare at the man's back. She was in between of fear and fond of the moment.
She must admit that she felt a different kind of fear when Felix appeared earlier. It's a fear she haven't feel from anyone. And she hates it. She hates the man so much.
And the way he acts earlier shows something odd. It sounds like he would cause trouble. Not just because he literally drags her, but a lot more deeper.
Conrad's POV
Being tired for today's works, I never wanted anything as much as I wanted to have a cold shower right now. It's what I've been thinking about since leaving the office after work.
When my car entered the garage, I saw Reena watering the plants that mom bought from the Greenhouse Garden back in town. She purchases different kinds of roses and any other flowers that I am not familiar wit
Conrad's POV After dinner, I go straight to the study room to finish some paperwork needed for the meeting tomorrow. I was really engrossed doing revisions of my report when someone entered the room. "Hi." Reena's smiling face was there when I lift my head. "Hey ..." I waved her to come near me. She quickly step forward and opened her arms. I lead her to sit on my lap. "Busy?" She plant small kisses on my face. "Uhm, not really. Just finishing this papers." I cupped her face and gave her a quick passionate kiss. "I saw you this afternoon." I thought about mentioning her absent-minded self earlier and asked the reason why. "Problem?" "Really? Where?" She looks confused. "In the garden. You are absent-mindedly watering the plants." I put those loose strands of her hair at the back of
Siren gradually felt annoyed at the man in front of her. He seemed very serious about blocking her way.Based on the man’s appearance, it looks like he’ll need to introduce herself here.She had no intention of introducing herself to any employee of the company, but it looked like she had to do that because she wanted to meet Felix at this time.She crossed her arms above her chest, glancing at the ID taped to the chest pocket of his polo shirt."John Cowell." She reads clearly. The man gave her a foolish look as if he was too proud of himself. "I hope that the look on your face now won't give you disaster later."Siren decided to get her driver’s license to represent her identity.But the man just raised an eyebrow while looking at the card."However, you are not allowed to enter the
Felix's POV"What? What did you say?" I asked her trying to make sure I misheard what she actually says."Oh, come on. You know what I've said." She just rolled her eyes.There's an urge inside that wants to grab her hair. Is she taking me as a joke?"I guess we are both wasting our time here. The door won't get itself to open." I couldn’t believe how intensely annoying she was."I'm still waiting for the snacks that your secretary will bring sooner. Besides, I'm here to discuss some business with you.""Can you tell me now what you really mean when you come here?" I was really getting annoyed with it. I want to drive her away as soon as I can. I might do something stupid if I would let stay a little longer.Just in the right time, my secretary came in holding a tray with our snacks in it.No o
"Have you heard about the news?" James handed me the papers I asked him to bring in my office."You always have different rumors everytime you are entering my office." I said without looking at him. I was busy revising the reports that I need for the presentation next week."It's not just a rumor. I said, it's a news." He corrected."Uh huh? Then what's this news all about?""Well, I heard that the S&GM only selected fifteen companies to present themselves on the bidding selection. Out of hundreds, they only take fifteen candidates."That news made me stop myself from typing on the keyboard. I quickly turns to him and look at him intently."I thought they are into open selection for the bidding? Why the sudden change?""Well," James sat on the vacant chair Infront of his desk. "According to my resources, Director Win
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.
