As Elena entered the creative department section, she was met with a sea of eyes all focused on her. Despite the attention and the background whispering, Elena remained unshaken. She greeted everyone in her usual jovial manner and walked straight to her desk.Scarlett, Elena's best friend, couldn't help but smile excitedly as she watched Elena handle the attention with ease. She walked up to Elena and gave her a warm hug."You're finally back, ma'am," Scarlett whispered teasingly in Elena's ear."Thanks, dear. Although I'm a Miss, not yet a Ma'am," Elena winked at her."We all missed your beautiful face and your funny jokes," Mrs. Smith, the data scientist, said as she walked up to Elena and also hugged her."I'm so sorry about yesterday," Elena said, feeling guilty about her previous outburst. "It was never my intention to walk out on you.""Don't bother yourself about that, sweetie," Mrs. Smith smiled. "It's all in the past now."Elena felt a wave of relief wash over her at Mrs. Smi
But Elena kept her cool, knowing that her plans and determination to start her own tech company outweighed her fury. She even apologized, even though it wasn't entirely her fault. Her actions and reactions confused Mr. Ford so much that he was practically tripping over himself to please her gently."I'm sorry, sir," Elena said calmly, her voice barely above a whisper. "It won't happen again."Mr. Ford looked at Elena, his eyes narrowing as he tried to read her expression. But Elena's face was a mask of composure, and he couldn't tell what she was thinking. He cleared his throat and shifted in his seat, clearly uncomfortable."Well, then," he said, his voice betraying a hint of nervousness. "I suppose that's settled. Is there anything else we need to discuss?"Elena shook her head, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips. "No, sir. That will be all.""Okay, Elena," Mr. Ford said, his voice softening slightly. "I know you may feel disappointed about not getting the promotion, b
During their lunch break, Scarlett couldn't contain her curiosity and asked Elena to spill the details of what had happened earlier. Elena approached her friend with a smile but quickly cautioned Scarlett to lower her voice. "Calm down Scarlett, not everything at the moment, remember they are hidden listeners everywhere," she said in a hushed tone.Scarlett's enthusiasm was dampened, but she persisted. "Okay, just tell me anything relating to what happened at least, I want to hear it."Elena considered for a moment before finally relenting. "Well, I have some exciting news. I'll be attending the C.E.S. this Saturday," she said with a glint in her eye.Scarlett's eyes widened in surprise. "You are?"Elena nodded, unable to contain her excitement. "Yes, I am!"Scarlett squealed with delight. "Oh my goodness, Elena! I'm so happy for you!"Elena chuckled at her friend's excitement. "Thank you, Scarlett. I knew I could count on your support."Scarlett couldn't help but express her envy tow
As the Lady made her way through the room, Elena couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder at her presence. It was as though the entire atmosphere of the room had shifted with her arrival, and all eyes were fixed upon her as she moved gracefully toward her destination. Elena couldn't help but feel a little envious of the woman's effortless beauty and poise and wondered who she might be and what brought her to their office.As the woman passed by Elena's desk, she couldn't help but catch a whiff of her subtle, floral perfume. Gianna spotted Isabella walking down the hallway and waved her over to her office. "Hey Isabella," she called out with a smile.Isabella walked elegantly towards her friend's office, her captivating beauty turning heads along the way. When she arrived, the two friends exchanged a brief hug and pleasantries before shutting the door behind them.As they settled in, the office seemed to come alive once again, but this time the chatter was all about Isabella.
Instead, she squared her shoulders, took a few deep breaths, and walked back to her desk with renewed determination.As the day's work came to an end, Elena and Scarlett left the office, chatting and giggling as they drove back to Elena's house. They discussed the events of the day, sharing their thoughts on Isabella's demanding attitude and Gianna's cool demeanor.Once they arrived at Elena's house, Elena went straight to her bedroom and emerged with her laptop, eager to show Scarlett some of her latest creations. She pulled up a few websites, games, dating sites, and apps that she had developed, and Scarlett's mouth dropped open in amazement."Oh my gosh, Elena! How did you make all these?" Scarlett exclaimed, her eyes wide with wonder.Elena chuckled at her friend's expression. "I developed and made them myself," she replied, a hint of pride in her voice. "Although, I'm still adding some essential parts. These are just a few of my many software creations, and I intend to showcase s
Liam smiled to himself, feeling excited about the night ahead. As he got ready for the club, he couldn't help but feel a rush of adrenaline at the thought of what the night might bring.Isabella had been trying to call Liam's mobile number repeatedly since leaving Gianna's office, but she couldn't get through to him. Frustration creased her face as her body twitched with irritation."Didn't he call me last night with this very number?" she muttered to herself. She tried one more time, but the call went straight to voicemail. Isabella's exasperation tripled as she sent a series of messages, but still received no reply.Isabella was not one to back down or give up on something she craved and wanted. She was determined to have Liam by her side, and she would draw down lightning, thunder, and brimstone until she got what she wanted.She briefly considered calling Mrs. Hamilton, Liam's mother, but decided it was too early to get her involved. Isabella knew she needed to try and handle this
Isabella arrived at the Grandeur Hotel for The C.E.S, stepping out of her exotic car in a stunning black gown. Her entourage followed closely behind her as she made her way toward the entrance, causing heads to turn and cameras to flash."Isabella, over here!" shouted a photographer, trying to capture her attention for a photo.Isabella smiled and turned towards the camera, striking a pose. "Make sure you get my good side," she said playfully.As she walked towards the entrance, fans, and admirers cheered and called out her name, asking for autographs and selfies. Reporters gathered around her, eager to ask her questions about the latest tech innovation she was modeling for."Isabella, you look absolutely stunning tonight," complimented a reporter."Thank you," Isabella replied with a gracious smile. "I always strive to make a statement with my fashion choices."Entering the hotel, Isabella felt a sense of pride as she looked around and saw the many tech developers and legends in atte
As the judges settled in, the event began, and the audience erupted with excitement as tech companies streamed their software presentations. All eyes were on the stage, especially as Isabella stepped up to represent Nixon Tech.Liam nudged Ben and nodded toward Isabella. "Check out the bugging Queen," he whispered with a smirk.Ben's eyes widened in admiration. "Is that her? Wow!"Liam chuckled. "I can see you're already in love with her. Maybe I should introduce you guys. I think you two will click."Ben shook his head, a sly smile on his lips. "Sorry, man. I'm already taken by someone. My body and soul always yearn for her."Liam raised an eyebrow, amused. "You better stay clear from my secretary."Ben raised an eyebrow, amused at Liam's comment. "You can't blame me, man. You should have gone for an older lady or even a man as your secretary. And come to think of it, most of your employees are young, sexy, and beautiful, with some rare beauties. Yet, they think of you as a dark prin
