It’s been over an hour since Angel left the office, and she had been working ever since till it was time for lunch.Violeta had come to her a few minutes back to inform her and she had told her to go for her own break and that she would take care of herself.While she worked, her head buried in the computer in front of her, she heard the door open, and then she said while slowly raising her head.“Don’t tell me you had lunch already? It’s just…”“Mason!” She exclaimed and leaned back.“Hi, princess,” he tilted his head, his hands dipped in his pockets.“You… you really came,” she glanced at the wrist watch and then pushed the chair back.“I told you,” he removed his hands from his pocket and then moved over to her.“Your office is so nice,” he commented as he looked around.“Thank you,” Lyra nodded her head.He settled on the chair right in front of her and then trailed his fingertips on the glass frame.“This is even nicer,” he said.“I told you we didn’t need to do this,” Lyra breat
“I am Violeta, your personal assistant. Violeta Miller.”I nodded my head as I fully settled in my seat and then bored my eyes on the glass plate and then my name that was imprinted on it.The CEO, Lyra Henderson.“Hi, Violeta,” I tore my eyes off the plate and then looked at her.The hiring team had hired her and I had a virtual interview with the women they chose and Violeta was my choice.“So, what is it for today?”“I have drafted your schedule for today, and the first on the list is the meeting with the executives. It starts in thirty minutes,” she said and I glanced at my wrist watch.“You have a meeting with the CEO of B‘n’B cosmetics by 11PM. There is also a meeting with…”“One step at a time, Violeta. Okay?” I chuckled and she smiled back.“Yes, ma’am. I’ll be in my corridor over there. Please, reach out to me when you need me. Here is the paperwork that needs to be sorted out. I’ll come to you in thirty minutes for your meeting.”I nodded my head and watched as she exited th
It was a Monday morning, and I had woken up way before my alarm had gone off. This wasn't because I was battling with insomnia or anxiety. It was simply because I was resuming my work today as the CEO.I knew I would do well.I knew I had what it takes to run the group so I no longer worry about that.I was just worried. How they will regard me. If they also thought it was okay to lead them.Although they had no choice but to follow me, I still wanted it to be on their own accord.I finished schooling at twenty-one and for three years, I had worked in one of my father's companies.This was because I knew I was going to take over someday, so, the lawyer and Mr. Jang had talked me into it.I finished my business in the bathroom and then wore the beautiful two piece corporate wear that I had gotten just a week before.It was red pants, and I wore a white shirt before the red jacket. After I was done, I settled in front of the mirror and did a little bit of facial care.Then, I slid into
“You can come in!” I sat upright as I heard the voice of Mr. Jang.He came in with a smile and a tray in his hand and I chuckled. “What are you doing?”“Your tea,” he smiled as he got to the nightstand and then dropped the tray on it.“Are we really going to do this here?” I asked, laughing as he poured the tea.“I didn't follow you all the way here, madam, just for a chat. You are like a daughter to me and I have vowed to take care of you till the very end.”“So sweet, and don't call me your madam,” I snapped my brows at him and he chuckled.“You are forever my child, mistress. You do not have to worry.”I smiled widely and nodded my head. “Thank you, Mr. Jang. for being here with me, thank you.”He nodded his hand and then handed the mug of the brewed tea to me and I collected it from him.Two weeks ago when I just returned from the future, I had been having trouble sleeping at night and I had mentioned it to the man.That night, he had brewed a tea which he had to be a mixture of C
#FLASHBACK#“Why did you call me here?”Mason asked, looking around at the ever-familiar surroundings that he was in.It was underground. And it had been five years already since he had left the underworld business.Being called over by his ex partner whom he used to run the business with, he had no choice but to honor him, and then settled on the chair in front of him, crossing his legs.“Is this how you greet your former partner? Just because you left this world doesn’t mean you cease to be one of ours.”“What do you want? You know for sure that I don’t wanna come here. I am just… saving your face, you get?”Xandro smiled and then scratched his chin where a long, thick scar settled.“I’ve got a job for you.”“Are you kidding me?”“I feel like you’re the only one who can handle this job perfectly. You’re still the best person our organization has ever created. It’s a shame you walked away.”“I told you I was done. Five years ago, I washed my hands off everything and started over aga
“Sorry…” She sniffed, pulled back, and then wiped her tears with the back of her hands, literally not caring that she could ruin her makeup.“It’s alright, really,” she shook her head and then moved her hands from his grip.Two days ago, when Mason had talked to Mr. Jang about moving in with them, he was the happiest as if he had been waiting for the man to ask him.He would do anything to see her comfortable, which was why he had reached out to the man.He bored my eyes into her as she collected herself and then finally looked around in the room where they stood.“Are we sleeping together?” Her brow rose, like it was forbidden to even share a room.“This is your room,” he answered her.And she looked around again in awe.Of course, she would be wondering how he had managed to set up the room for her raise.Mason knew her so well.Even the tiniest bit of herself.He had gathered every intel that he could on her before the unfortunate incident happened.“Mine alone?” Her eyes lit up i
