All Chapters of The Voss's undoing: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The next day at work the celebration continued. Flowers arrived from different people, emails flooded Katherine's inbox and the company buzzed with excitement.I had barely finished my second cup of coffee when sara appeared at my office door."There's someone here for you." she gushes."I'm not seeing anyone." I deadpanned.She smiled mischievously."You'll want to see this one."I stepped into the reception area.Scarlet Devereaux stood by the window in a tailored purple jumpsuit, sunglasses perched on top her head, elegant as ever.She smiled warmly when she saw me. "Cassie."I blink in surprise. "Scarlet.""I hope I'm not interrupting." she utters softly."No, not at all." I'm looking flushed now.She held out a beautifully wrapped box."I came to congratulate you." she hands it over to me and I accept it cautiously."You didn't have to." I say regaining my composure."I wanted to." she smiles delightfully.Inside the box was a crystal paperweight shaped like an orchid, simple yet

CassieKatherine gathered all the senior staff in Deluxa Celebration this morning in our conference room."I have good news." she says.Everyone was expectant, speculating what it could be, maybe a bigger client or something like that."We got six new big clients in less than a week after we handled the Voss company's gala, they all said they loved how well the event turned out and the venue decor and they are all want us to handle their next event.""Which means we have all got to be more creative and up on our toes, again congratulations to everyone that handled the Voss event, Cassie you did a really good job." almost everyone concurs, nodding their heads."Also, the Voss Enterprises has requested that Cassie become their dedicated liaison."I blink twice to ensure this wasn't a dream or joke."Their what."Katherine produces a folder and hands it over to me."They don't want a different planner every time, so they specifically requested for you since you did an amazing job with t

Later that afternoon, I found myself standing in Damian's office door. I knock before entering, standing at the entrance."You asked to see me?"He looked up from the stack of documents in front of him."I did, come in." there's a flicker of amusement in his eyes as looks at me lingering at the doorway. "Don't worry, I don't bite."I stepped inside his office. It was my first time in here and boy, it screamed elegance at it's peak.Damian and Sebastian's offices were the only two that occupied the entire corner of the top floor. Inside his office had a floor-to-ceiling windows framing the glittering Manhattan skyline and Hudson river like a living masterpiece. Rich walnut paneling, charcoal marble floors, and soft ambient lighting gave the space a quiet, commanding elegance. A massive custom built desk sat at the center, immaculate except for a laptop, a leather portfolio, and a crystal pen holder. Behind him, shelves displayed a carefully curated collection of books, awards, and mo

I spent my Sunday alone in my apartment, trying to clear my head by arranging and cleaning up the apartment. I'd spoken with Eva yesterday and her dad's situation wasn't that bad anymore, so she was coming back today, after speaking with her mum over the phone and sending my regards to her dad we hung up.Matt had also been really occupied in the hospital since this week, that it was almost impossible to see him all week. Through out last night I'd been trying to wrap my head around the events of the last few days at work. What was even going on with me? What even happened? Honestly, absolutely nothing. Yes, he just noticed that I didn't have breakfast and decided to buy me lunch, it wasn't supposed to be a big deal so why was I making a mountain out of a mole hill. Shouldn't I at least be grateful that he got me lunch instead of letting me starve.But it did hurt when he said, "Good night Miss Adams." It was just so formal, so...Urgh! I really need a reality check. Maybe I'll go to

"Damian, hey." I say, mustering a shaky smile."What are you doing here?" he dips his hands into his pocket, eyeing me suspiciously. "Aren't you supposed to be at the new medical center?""We were all there not long ago but uhm," I try clearing my throat calmly. "We called it a day and I decided to check out the old medical center to see how it was, you know, just check how things are here." I say frantically.He just smiles."So what do you think?" his gaze is so intent on me."Huh""About the center." "Oh! Uhm, I don't know I just got here." I say more to myself. Also I followed you around so I haven't really checked out the place or how everyone is, just saw how you treat everyone here and how they treat you too, I think to myself."Well, I don't think you can check the place out from the position you are in." he gestures to my hiding spot and I flush instantly."Right." I smile lightly as I step out of my hiding position. This was so embarrassing, I just really hope he doesn't se
