Cassandra's POVI was almost dying due to anxiety as I waited for my boss to answer the customer who was determined to ruin my life in one way or the other."My answer is no," My boss suddenly declared and I could see the customer's gloating expression suddenly fade away.The knot in my chest also suddenly loosened on hearing him say that I wouldn't be fired. I was so relieved because I was actually genuinely scared that he would let me go since I had been causing trouble to him."What do you mean by no?""I will not fire a diligent worker just because one customer demanded for it," my boss expatiated."So now I am a customer that doesn't matter enough? Is that what you're saying?""What I am saying is that every single person who walks into this restaurant, both the workers and the customers, each one of them, matters."A few cheers suddenly erupted in the restaurant at my boss's declaration coming mostly from the customers and I was relieved that there were still people with a brain
Cassandra's POVFor a moment, my brain and mouth were placed on pause as Mr Bradwick turned around. Now that I didn't think that he was a scammer and regarded him as a rich customer, it was suddenly difficult to talk to him. Was it because of the impression I had gained about rich people in the restaurant?It wasn't like I was all cozy with him before but I certainly wasn't uneasy around him and considering what I was going to say carefully."I guess you've been told who I am," he voiced out, breaking into my thoughts."Not exactly, but I've been told a little bit," I admitted."So now you want to start acting subserviently with me since you know I'm rich?" He chuckled."Not exactly," I laughed."Seems like it to me," he taunted."Well, it's just that I don't exactly have a good expression about rich people, I don't know if it's a wrong or a right impression but still... It's an impression," I expressed."Well, with the kinds of people that I've seen in the restaurant, I understand wh
Liam's POVAfter the ruckus in the restaurant, I had planned to wait for the Cassandra lady to finish talking to her boss and then call her over to talk. However, as I waited, I got a call from my office telling me that some investors would be visiting the following day so I decided to go to my office to prepare some things that would be useful during the meeting.Since Cassandra wasn't available to talk to yet, I walked out of the restaurant after the call heading to the place where I had told my driver we would be meeting up.Maintaining my reputation as the faceless CEO of Wicker corporation required me to make multiple sacrifices such as a walk and being without my driver at almost every point in time.The driver could easily be spotted by the paparazzi if he was with me and my identity could be traced through that so he always stopped slightly farther away from wherever I intended to be in.It had been years since I became the one in charge of the company but no one except those
Cassandra's POVI stepped out of the restaurant, taking a deep breath of the cool evening air. I had just finished my shift in the restaurant and was glad to be done for the day. I loved getting off work and spending time by myself or with my triplet children.At the thought of the boys, I glanced over at the pram that held my children, all fast asleep after getting breastfed before I came out. I knew that the fact that they slept early would probably mean that they would disturb me at night though.I smiled, feeling a sense of pride and joy at the sight of them. They could wake up at the middle of the night but I wouldn't mind. They were my world, my everything.As I continued to push the pram in order to start the walk home, I heard a voice calling my name."Cassandra!" I heard and turned to see Mr Bradwick walking towards me.How could he still be chasing after me once again after the conversation we had when last we talked? I thought that I had made myself clear that I wouldn't be
Cassandra's POVHours later, I was sitting on my bed and grabbing my phone from the bedside table. I just concluded with the house chores that had slightly piled up and wanted to rest a bit before I would prepare dinner.I had been thinking about Liam Bradwick ever since I met him while on my way back home from the restaurant. There was something about him that was nagging at me and I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to him than he had let on.So now I found herself typing his name into the search bar on Google, hoping to learn more about him. I clicked on the first link that popped up, a news article from a few years ago.The headline read: "Liam Bradwick Takes Over as CEO of GlobalTech Industries."My heart skipped a beat on reading the headline and I paused for a few seconds before my brain could process the information.So Liam Bradwick was the CEO of such a huge company? I had thought he was just a recruiter or a highly placed staff, or anything, just not the CEO!I
Cassandra’s POVI woke up early as usual for another day of work and sat on my bed, looking up to see my three little ones who were lying together peacefully in their crib beside my bed.As I gazed upon their sleeping faces, my mind drifted to the tempting job offer and the possible risks and rewards it held. The decision I had to make about taking on a job that would require me to leave my triplets every day was really a challenging one.However, the opportunity was also a source of relief because my top priority was providing the best care possible for my boys, and the extra income would help me accomplish just that.After careful consideration, I opted to go with my plan of waiting for more information about the job offer before making any more concrete decisions. I can't believe that I was really spending so much time thinking about that offer after how I had waved it off for weeks.Without wasting more time, I rose from my bed and made my way to the bathroom where I turned on the
Liam's POVI was very surprised when Cassandra came to me today asking to know more about the job offer. I couldn't believe that after weeks of trying to recruit her while she acted completely uninterested in the offer, she was finally gaining interest in working with my company.She didn't even show any signs of interest when I talked to her yesterday and now all of a sudden, she was asking to know more about the job offer. It was really surprising and I actually hadn't properly drafted out anything with the human resource manager of my company.She really should have given me some heads-up.Well, since she was now showing interest, I could just say a few things to keep her interest and then when I have discussed with the manager, I would give her something concrete.She had really caught my attention with the way she handled the customer on the day I met her. The fact that she was a mother of triplets who were less than a year old just served as more fuel to my desire to hire her as
Cassandra's POV"You've been hired!"It had been a few days since I had the conversation with Mr Bradwick asking for more information about the job offer and he promised to get back to me. On that day, he had told me about several prerequisites for the job which I had sent to his email address at his directive.However, I still couldn't believe it when he called me over to his table today and once I got a break to attend to him, he said that.With a shocked expression on my face, I mumbled to myself, "Just like that?""Yes, just like that," Mr. Bradwick responded with a warm smile and then handed me a file. "This document is complete with all the necessary information to start at GlobalTech Industries as part of the marketing department.""I thought you said that you wanted me in the customer service department," I frowned."Well, the human resource team decided otherwise after seeing your qualifications," he explained and I burst into a large grin.I was so excited!"So, what will my
