Flashback."Will you go in with me or wait here with me?" She asked him smiling.Sighing, he turned to look at the rain that was falling and turned to look at her. They had both been at the garden and were returning back home when the rain suddenly started falling. Annette loved the rain and she was fond of playing and dancing in the rain."Will you go in with me or wait here with me?" She asked him again."Fine, I'll go." He replied and immediately, she grabbed his hand. "One, two, three, go!" She shouted as she ran into the rain with him."Hey! Annette!" He called as he followed her, having no other choice. "You'll get wet!""I didn't force you to join me!" She shouted so he could hear as she danced in the rain."Why do you like playing and dancing in the rain like this? Especially when we're together!""Just because!""What's the point of playing and dancing in the rain when you'll catch a cold later when
Few hours later, Josie kept on rolling restlessly on her bed without taking her eyes off her phone. It had been over two hours since Asher alighted from Richard's car and there had been no sign of him returning back. She had the thought that he came down to save her from her brother's question and since he got down few miles away from their apartment, he wasn't supposed to spend more than ten minutes. She tossed her phone up and down as she waited for him to call her. She had called him once that day already, and her pride wouldn't allow her to call him again the second time. I'm not waiting for him, she told herself. I just want to know if he's still coming. Just then, her phone rang making her jump up quickly only for the excitement she felt to melt down quickly as it came. Sighing, she picked it up. "What?" She asked in a down tone. "What?" Isabella's voice sounded at the other end. She had known Josie for a very long time to know why she must have sounded that way. "Hey, Josi
Hernandez group.After the general board meeting, the board of directors dispersed the boardroom, leaving Chairman Gabriel Hernandez and Chazz together with their secretaries.Chairman Gabriel's secretary carried his files on the table while he stood up to leave. "Chairman Gabriel!" Chazz called him as he stood up to meet him. Rachel Lakes, Chazz's secretary carried Chazz's files too and with a wave of hand, Chairman Gabriel dispersed the two secretaries. "What is it?" He asked him."I was just wondering if you have time to take coffee with me.""Chazz, there are more important things to do than sitting down somewhere with a cup of coffee." He replied like he had already prepared his answer before the question came. "Especially you, you have a lot at hand to take care of. The idea you raised today at the meeting was a very nice one. I like that. But don't just focus alone on our resources going up. Also think about ways we can satisfy our customers with our services."Chazz knew he
Granny's restaurant. Jared and his partners got to the scene but were unable to enter because the attacker had locked the door. Josie was surprised to see the restaurant woman being held in hostage from the glass door. "Aunt!" She shouted before turning to face Jared. "Team leader, please do something!"Jared got a speaker from Michelle and cleared his throat. "This is the police, take it easy and open the door." His voice echoed. Inside, the attacker got angry. "Who called the police?!" He requested. "I said who called the police?!" He shouted at the customers who were turning their face down. "Are you all deaf?!" He asked as he placed the knife on the restaurant woman's neck. "Please, don't kill me." She begged."Do something!" Josie pleaded. Just then, she noticed the other shop beside Granny's restaurant and remembered that their storeroom was linked but separated with just a thin sheet. Quickly, she rushed to find a way to enter. Jared gave the speaker to Eric to handle it w
Welcome party. The party started after the workers of Roosevelt Kitchen finished the day's work. They all saw it as a time to enjoy themselves and forget about work. The three newbies were asked to introduce themselves and tell their seniors what they liked doing and every funny thing about them. They were also asked to sing, dance and drink. The three newbies did what they were asked to do and Asher was the funniest. He had never done something like that before and it was like he was used to it already. He got tired after singing and dancing. Refusing to drink, he was asked to sit down while the other two newbies were asked to do some other things. After watching them for a while, Josie stood up. "I thought you said you weren't going to come." Isabella teased her. "Are you just seeing me now? You had better not drink much tonight and go home early.""Yes, ma'am!" She saluted and smiled. "Are you going now?""Uhn." Josie nodded."Call me when you get home.""Alright."She picked
Hernandez Group's InaugurationHernandez Group's inauguration ceremony was set to last for five days and a general celebration dinner with shareholders and stakeholders of the group was the last event scheduled to round up the ceremony. Roosevelt kitchen was asked to take care of the catering service for the first and last day while Maria's was asked to take care of the second to fourth day. On the first day, the whole employees of Roosevelt kitchen were extremely busy and no one was spared any duty. After serving the guests, Isabella and Rose went into the room they were given and crashed. "Ah!" Isabella exclaimed. "At first, I was jealous that Maria would be catering for three days while we get to do ours for two days, but I never thought the first day would require a lot of work.""We're done for!" Rose exclaimed. "I feel like dying! My legs hurt so much. I hardly rest for a minute before I'm being called again. I'm not going out of this room!""Hey, Rose, it's just the first day
Hernandez Group. Sitting in his office, Chazz signed the document Rachel brought to him. "When is today's inaugural lecture starting?" He asked her. "12pm." She replied."Alright. For the dinner at the end of the inauguration, invite Chairman Finn's daughter.""Eh? Do you think she'll come?""If she doesn't, I care less. It's just an excuse to cover up for the date I missed. Mother is upset I wasted her effort, so I told her I'd invite her for the dinner. So invite her.""Yes, President." She bowed. Chazz continued with what he was signing. Just then, he remembered Josie and thought about the first time they met and how they had swapped phones. He smiled and then thought about the previous day when she was looking for him at the underground parking lot. He smiled and remembered her name as he had seen it on the name tag she wore. "Josie Maran." He called. Rachel was about leaving when she heard him talk. "Excuse me?""I want you to help me look up someone. Josie Maran, that's the
Hernandez Group's dinner. Mason gathered his juniors together and stared at them for a few seconds before clearing his throat. "Listen well, this is the last day of Hernandez Group's inauguration ceremony. Nothing, I repeat, nothing must go wrong. This is a dinner involving all of Hernandez Group's major shareholders and stakeholders. Do a good job by behaving yourself! Josie, Isabella, Frederick, you're working with Ruby's team. Make sure there are no empty champagne glasses. Always check the guests and refill their glasses.""Yes, senior!" The three of them echoed. "The rest of you are joining Chris' team. They're in charge of the desserts. Make sure you do as you're told.""Yes, senior!""That will be all for now." He told them and was about leaving when he suddenly turned back. "And if I hear that anyone is missing again this time around. . ." He paused as he looked at them one by one. "I won't let it slide! I really won't!" He added and walked away. Isabella sighed. "It's a re
