She is so powerful that, my grandma was picked right at home and straight to the most famous private hospital in the world! Isn't that wonderful?” She said giggling, still excited. “Meaning?” “Meaning, grandma is receiving a better medical treatment in Lady Ave Merida Blackwood's hospital!” She said in a high pitched voice. “I am sure you know who owns the hospital? How did you get in contact with your boss’s mother, so quickly? Girl, you are deeply connected,now!” She said obviously happy for me, but my head was already spinning around with this information. “Wait a minute! You meant it is the same Blackwood's? I mean, the Blackwood's I am currently working with?” I said, swallowing hard. “Don't tell me you are this dumb? Girl, of course it's the same Blackwood's! There

"Let the new personal secretary come in!” The voice spoke out from within the office again, and I swallowed hard before approaching his office. I have never been this tensed because of anybody before, so why now?. “Good for her! Boss, is definitely giving her the sack very soon!” Gabriela said and I turned to look at her, wondering what her problem is with me?”. “How long is it going to take for you to open the door and fucking come in?" The voice sounded and I tremble slightly. Damned, his stern, cold voice, is deeply intimidating to the ears. “Good morning sir!” I said on entering the spacious office with beautiful interior designs. He was standing facing the wall. He is the same height with Murphy, and as for the mask…. “What is fucking good about the morning? Miss Alexandria!" He said calmly but coldy that I tried not to show my fear. “Why are you just coming now? Are you aware that this is your first day of resumption? Didn't my friend inform you about the rules?

“First, I was only trying to respect your boundaries, sir! And secondly, I can work with minimum supervision, sir?” I said with a blank face.“Alright! Let's see about that!
