Keira moved back to her own house because it is closer to the office. She promised her nana that she will be visiting her every weekend also during office hours when she can sneak out to check on her.
Keira has been standing in front of her closet for a good five minutes already; trying to figure out what to wear for her first day at work. She wants to leave a good impression but does not want to be too eye-catching.
She ended up choosing an off white cashmere fabric tulip dress with a bateau neckline that she accented with a gold brooch. She had her hair in a side weep updo that highlighted her perfect face. She stared at her reflection in the mirror; she can't help but comment on her new fashion sense.
"Geez, I can't believe I will be ever to say this to myself... but damn, I'm gorgeous." She laughed at her confident aura.
"That di*k head should feel sorry if he gets to see me now." The thought of Stephen motivates her more to be a better version of her
Keira suddenly felt a surge of anger; she was poured with a cup of coffee for no apparent reason. Good thing she was able to pull the cloth away from her body before it even reached her skin. However, the skirt was visibly damaged with the coffee stain.Thea shouted in shock at the atrocity Georgie just committed; "You went too far Georgie, Isn't it enough that you and Rebecca bully me almost every opportunity you got? Now you are doing it to the new girl too?""Try and stop us b*tch" Rebecca raised one of her eyebrows and leered at Thea.Keira clenched her fists and drew in a long breath; she did not say a word but walked with big strides towards the washroom, Thea followed her. Rebecca and Georgie did not show a glimpse of guilt, they both guffawed."Are you hurt?" Thea asked Keira as sadness clouded her face."I'm okay, I'm glad I was able to move the skirt away from my skin just in time." Keira forced a smile, to stop worrying Thea.Keir
2 PM the entire planning department staff are present in their boardroom, they are concocting a plan for the current restaurant acquisition of the company. This is the first team meeting Keira had ever attended; she was excited to be doing the "real" work finally."Okay, you guys listen the different departments will present tomorrow, while our department will need to show them the acquired company status, activities, and financial statements tomorrow. Then with all the presentations from the other department, we will draw the best plan to present to the board on Wednesday next week."Georgie and Rebecca were shocked by the instructions, while Thea, Jude, and Keira appeared a little more enthusiastic about the job ahead."Georgie and Rebecca you two will be responsible for creating a presentation about the acquired company's status, make sure it looks reasonable and easy to understand."The two girls nodded and went about their work stations to start on t
Keira was still in high spirits even if she was literally sleepless. She glanced at her closet looking for the simplest wardrobe she can find to avoid conflicts like what had happened yesterday. She wore black pants and a red tank top and covered it with a black blazer. She let her long hair down and swept it on one side with a golden butterfly clip. Her simple makeup complemented her straightforward corporate attire.It was already fifteen past six when she arrived at the office, her department was in chaos."Keira, this is your entire fault! You left us yesterday with all this work undone" Rebecca was boiling with anger."Relax, it was her first day yesterday, she might have been a bit overwhelmed with the task at hand, that's why she opted to leave and skip work." Jude wanted to explain on Keira's behalf."Relax? Because of this bi*ch we're about to get fu*ked up, how can we relax?" rage flowed through Georgie like the lava of a very volatile vol
Keira went to the presentation laptop and opened a spreadsheet file to fill in the data the budget department was explaining. It clearly has shown a different result than what was presented by the budget department; it was missing three million dollars. It was such a small error in the formula that gave them the wrong result; and it was just a small fraction of the whole project. She proceeded with all the mistakes that she noticed and a whopping total of fifty-eight million dollars was missing in plain sight.Keira has such a way with numbers that she feels they are communicating with her if the computation done is wrong. She truly is a genius with numbers but her emotional intelligence surely needs some polishing. Like at this very moment where she feels that she is on a roll pointing out mistakes whether it is intentional or not; she does not mind it at all, what the other party is feeling."Here Ms. President; our company was about to lose fifty-eight million dolla
As soon as Keira and her colleagues entered the cafeteria, there were many eyes on Keira; as she expected; the news about her bringing the board room down with her keen eyes and mathematical genius. Little did they know she also has this analytical skill that is comparable to three people working together, she is so used to working alone she enhanced these abilities to work efficiently."That's the girl, the beautiful one with the nice legs.""She looks like a goddess, how can she be so smart?"Keira's ears were filled with the murmurs of the people from other departments. She was quite pleased, that at least for now she was not being slandered."Keira, are you hearing them? They said you are a goddess, you know what? I think so too!" Thea was smiling so sweetly she could not fathom that she's not besties with the Company's goddess."No, Keira, please don't listen to those jerks, those are two-faced men who go for every beautiful girl in this compa
"Oh, no, such a shame Mr. Watson, now I can only wait till they break up or if they ever break up!"Keira was laughing; mocking her Nana, who missed an opportunity to get her married to Mr. Watson's son."You brat! Okay, you can go back to your office now, but please make sure to inform me regarding your plans, and always be cautious; I can't afford to lose you too."Nana was laughing at Keira's stunts; she wonders how she will be perceived as a CEO with this personality. She certainly cannot be seen as a weakling. This is one aspect of her persona that needs improvement; an amiable CEO will not last the evil vultures watching and waiting for her to make a mistake.Keira kissed her Nana before she left the president's office."ring..ring"Keira received a call from her best friend Tara; she wants to get together with her for dinner. Keira happily agreed to meet her, for she has so many stories to tell her best friend. They decided to meet at
Keira decided to head home feeling defeated, she can’t fight with her dead best friend over a man who barely knew her. She went home alone, and lonely, her tears started cascading on her lovely face, she looked at her face in the mirror while thinking that tomorrow; she will be a different woman. A woman that is driven and focused only on one thing; being the youngest and best conglomerate heiress there is, she vowed to herself not to be infatuated again with the wrong man or for any other man for that matter.The next day, Aila was feeling much better; she is ready for the war ahead of her. She will face the wrath of the managers and board of directors that she placed in public scrutiny.“Planning Department please join me and the CEO in her board room in ten minutes.”Mr. Watson was serious in his tone, he did not even smile; not even at Keira. The whole team went over to
Keira was on her way to her car when Mr. Watson approached her.“Ms. Keira, I came here to give you the program for the party. Please be guided accordingly when you will be needed to go up the stage, and may we request you for a speech?”Keira smiled at Mr. Watson, the one person that she and her Nana trust completely.“Okay, thank you for this, Mr. Watson.”Manager Leo passed by the two and gave them a dirty look. Keira knew what he was up to; he was relentless in finding a fault about her but as always; he fails. Keira decided to play along because she wants to embarrass Manager Leo at the company party.“Mr. Watson, thank you for getting along well with my grandmother, and helping me with my promotion.”Mr. Watson scratched his head, thinking why Keira was suddenly doing this, bu
