Alana sipped on her coffee while going through some files. She was surprised she had her own little office next to the boss's office. As his secretary, it was convenient for her to have her space, so she could carry out her work efficiently After a long conversation with Marcela. Alana wondered what her mom got her into. Marcela begged her to stay and be Santiago's mother. She asked about his biological mother, unfortunately, Marcela said it was something she wouldn't want to discuss“Hello Alana,” the door opened and Brigitte came in, Alana smiled shoved her laptop away and pushed the chair backwards “So, how's your morning?” Alana asked, and Brigitte sat down and admired the office. Not pretty. She wondered how Alana managed to get the boss to give her an office. His former secretary never had one“Great just fighting with the demons,” Brigitte said rolling her eyes in annoyance and started to open her lunch pack“You mean your husband's issue… why are you ashamed of it…he's hands
Alana Stretched her neck as soon as she was done making dinner, one of the things she loved doing. After coming home early. She decided to do something a wife would do. Although she didn't want to“You can give it to him… the food smells delicious madam,” Mrs. Marks exclaimed when she came to the dining room and found me debating on whether to take the food to Santiago or call him to the dining room, “Are you certain?” I was afraid of going near him. Although Ricardo was still at the office. Unfortunately, my services weren't needed; hence he sent me away. I had no choice but to come back“Very sure, Santi is a sweet boy…you can take this to him,” Mrs. Marks coaxed, it had been two days since Marcela left, apparently she only stayed with us for two days. Because her house was being cleaned. It was just around the corner“Did you burn the things I gave you?” I asked while serving the food. Two days ago, I asked Mrs. Marks to burn the designs for me. I didn't know my way around the man
“I need all the details within this week,” Ricardo informed his manager and the man nodded,“Rest assured sir, everything will be in order,” the man said, getting up and gathering the files he came with. Ricardo waved him off and the man walked away. When he left, Ricardo went into deep thought just as the door opened getting his attention and Alana walked in nervously As weird as it was having his wife as a secretary, Ricardo had to say, she was better and more accurate with work than anyone else“What can I do for you, Ms Mendoza?” Ricardo asked while leaning against the chair. He didn't remember calling for her. However, a nervous Alana cleared her throat awkwardly and stood across the desk“Well, Mr. Romero. “ She started, apart from calling him sir or any other title. Alana found it appropriate to call him Mr. Romero, that way it would be less awkward, “Go on?” Ricardo remarked more suspiciously, Alana nodded and placed some files on his desk. Ricardo waited for the woman to te
The dinner meeting started, and Alana was a little hesitant. She didn't think she was needed since there were all men. It turned out they went to a famous five-star restaurant. Alana had never seen anything so beautiful and elegant. The service was magnificent, the atmosphere was mesmerizing and refreshing, and Alana relaxed in her chair. Their table was a private one, far from other customers. She guessed Ricardo was a regular at the restaurant because immediately they arrived, the waiter and manager came to greet him and guided them to the reserved table“This is Ms Mendoza, my secretary,” Ricardo made the introductions once they settled down, Alana nodded at the men with a smile“Nice to meet you,” she said politely, and the men grinned and stared at her“She's beautiful, I didn't know you got yourself a new secretary "“But remember, you are a married man,” the two men teased Ricardo when he introduced Alana to them as his secretary. Of course, she appreciated that because she didn
Alana's eyes flew open, reaching for her head. She pushed herself up, until she was sitting“Oh gosh,” she had never felt so tired before. Her head was aching so much that even kept her eyes open. Why was she so tired, glancing around, she found herself in her room? Alana was startled when she found herself in her nightgown, “What exactly happened?” She asked lazily as she dragged herself out of bed. It was early in the morning, the sun was shining brightly. She decided to do her morning routine hence went to the bathroom Whatever made her feel tired, she didn't know. But she hoped to ask Mrs. Marks how she got to her room. Because the only thing she recalled was being at the rest with Ricardo and falling asleepAfter a while, Alana was done and decided to go downstairs, to her surprise she heard Ricardo in the living room talking to someone. The voice of the woman sounded very familiar; therefore she decided to see who it was“Don't worry sir, he's in safe hands… I'll make sure he'
The board meeting was set. Alana sat on her usual chair. Close to Ricardo while Dennis was standing beside Ricardo. There weren't countless men, but just a few. She guessed the five men were the most important. Alana wondered why they were all male and no female came. “So gentlemen…what do you think…all opinions are welcome,” Ricardo said after handing them some files, so they could see what Alana had come up with. The entire time, Alana's hands were coated in a cold sweat. The men fixed their eyes on the files, flipping each page as Alana got even more agitated. Secretly glancing at Ricardo. The man was busy on his phone waiting for me to finish“This is ridiculous,” one of the men said, slamming the files shut. Alana was startled upon hearing a stern voice“Mr. Romero, I'm sure you know the reputation of the company… your company,” another one chimed in as he slammed the file shut and fixed his eyes on Ricardo. By now, Alana's inner lip was chewed to nothing.“We have a reputation
Alana was given a tour of the building as soon as per Ricardo's instructions. He gave her full rights to get access to everything she needed to get to workShe had to meet the company's top jewelers, then a few people. Things were moving so fast for her. It looked like their cube boss's husband of hers was giving her a chance to show her potential, Or maybe he was doing it, so he could embarrass her. One thing was certain, she wasn't going to allow him to embarrass her“I'm Felix, this is Cole,” two men introduced themselves as soon as she was guided to enter the vault. “Nice to meet you,” Alana said with a bow. The two men chuckled and guided her inside, and she proceeded. Felix was this tall man with short black hair. Probably a brush cut, his brown eyes glimmer each time he smiledAlana had to say Felix wasn't bad looking, although he didn't have that alpha male aura. He'd still stand out in the crowd and get a fair share of cheers from women. He was quite welcoming and more che
Alana frowned as she watched the nurse talking to Santiago. She wasn't going to leave them alone, in fact, she brought all her work to the private lounge. It was to the east wing of the mansion. This part she didn't know. Alana guessed she had to tour the entire mansion to know all the rooms. “Finish up, I'll be right back,” the nurse said after she gave Santiago some watercolors and other drawing stuff. Alana frowned and watched as the woman left the room when she rose to her feet and followed her out“Are you watching me?” The nurse stopped and she sensed someone following her. Alana rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. Her eyes shrewd as she stared at the nurse“What if huh… do you think I'm going to let you out of my sight…think again,” Alana said cheekily earning a sarcastic scoff from the nurse“I didn't know you are, the boss's wife…it's a shame it wasn't what I was expecting,” the nurse remarked sarcastically and scanned Alana from head to toe as if she were n
