Alana reached the company earlier than the first day before Ricardo could show up"Good morning love…did you sleep well," Brigitte greeted her as they proceeded to the check room. "Yeah, how about You?" Alana asked although she had a terrible morning. To think she was still troubled about Ricardo's stipulations. She failed to sign the contract unless he uttered it and made a few changes"Well, great as always… today is special though, I hope you are ready?" Brigitte asked as both picked up their ID'S and left the room"What is it?" She was new to the company. Already she had a quick orientation and knew a few departments and heads. However, she was yet to know more about it. Especially where all the merchandise was made"Every month end, the boss throws a small party for his employees…especially new ones… it's to welcome them to the company and team, so today we'll hear what plans he has for us " Brigitte explained as they headed to the canteen to grab some breakfast. Like yesterda

Alana tossed and turned and finally, her alarm clock went off. As much as she wanted some peace. She couldn't sleep through the night. And when she sat upright. She pushed her hair off her face and tied it in a bun. Glancing around she realized where she was“Just great” she muttered and fixed her eyes on the man sleeping on the bed with sheets wrapped around his body. For a grown man, he didn't know how to sleep. To think he was by the edge of the bed if he moved even a little. He would fall right off the bed and land heavily on the floor“Ouch,” Alana muttered just thinking about the man falling made her want to laugh her lungs out, She glanced down where she was and let out a helpless sigh. Having her mother-in-law was a bad idea. She came unexpectedly to her son's house, but everything was ruined when she came to know she was sleeping in the same room.Alana recalled how angry Marcela was at her and Ricardo. She immediately asked Mrs. Marks and other servants to move her things t

Alana Stretched her neck as soon as she was done making dinner, one of the things she loved doing. After coming home early. She decided to do something a wife would do. Although she didn't want to“You can give it to him… the food smells delicious madam,” Mrs. Marks exclaimed when she came to the dining room and found me debating on whether to take the food to Santiago or call him to the dining room, “Are you certain?” I was afraid of going near him. Although Ricardo was still at the office. Unfortunately, my services weren't needed; hence he sent me away. I had no choice but to come back“Very sure, Santi is a sweet boy…you can take this to him,” Mrs. Marks coaxed, it had been two days since Marcela left, apparently she only stayed with us for two days. Because her house was being cleaned. It was just around the corner“Did you burn the things I gave you?” I asked while serving the food. Two days ago, I asked Mrs. Marks to burn the designs for me. I didn't know my way around the man

The dinner meeting started, and Alana was a little hesitant. She didn't think she was needed since there were all men. It turned out they went to a famous five-star restaurant. Alana had never seen anything so beautiful and elegant. The service was magnificent, the atmosphere was mesmerizing and refreshing, and Alana relaxed in her chair. Their table was a private one, far from other customers. She guessed Ricardo was a regular at the restaurant because immediately they arrived, the waiter and manager came to greet him and guided them to the reserved table“This is Ms Mendoza, my secretary,” Ricardo made the introductions once they settled down, Alana nodded at the men with a smile“Nice to meet you,” she said politely, and the men grinned and stared at her“She's beautiful, I didn't know you got yourself a new secretary "“But remember, you are a married man,” the two men teased Ricardo when he introduced Alana to them as his secretary. Of course, she appreciated that because she didn

The board meeting was set. Alana sat on her usual chair. Close to Ricardo while Dennis was standing beside Ricardo. There weren't countless men, but just a few. She guessed the five men were the most important. Alana wondered why they were all male and no female came. “So gentlemen…what do you think…all opinions are welcome,” Ricardo said after handing them some files, so they could see what Alana had come up with. The entire time, Alana's hands were coated in a cold sweat. The men fixed their eyes on the files, flipping each page as Alana got even more agitated. Secretly glancing at Ricardo. The man was busy on his phone waiting for me to finish“This is ridiculous,” one of the men said, slamming the files shut. Alana was startled upon hearing a stern voice“Mr. Romero, I'm sure you know the reputation of the company… your company,” another one chimed in as he slammed the file shut and fixed his eyes on Ricardo. By now, Alana's inner lip was chewed to nothing.“We have a reputation
