CASSANDRA I watch as Sir Xander warns Kris. I blushed when I remembered what Sir Alex told me last night. I don't have a crush on Sir Xander. I only find him mysterious and creepy. But why he's here? What is he doing here?" Kris glared at Sir Xander and left the room. "Sir, What are you doing here?" His clothes always make him look powerful. He always wears a coat and tie, and I haven't seen him wearing casual clothes. "I have something to talk to the principal about, and I accidentally saw Kris while passing your classroom." I frowned because the Princepal's office is opposite our classroom, and you won't pass my classroom when you go there. But I didn't comment about it. I looked at Bryan when he chuckled. "What's funny?" "No, Miss Cassandra, I only remember something funny." He chuckled. I glanced at Sir Xander, and he was glaring at Bryan, who quickly shut his mouth. "I'll go ahead. I still have something to talk about with your principal." Sir Xander left our roo
ALEXANDER "What can I do for you, Mr. Rivera? " James sits on the couch before him like a king. James usually did this in front of Mom and Dad to joke at them, pretending he was the king. Mom and Dad would laugh every time. I missed those days when they were still with us. "Mr. Larson, You pulled all your shares from Rivera's Enterprise. You know it will have a huge impact on the company. " "I know, and that's what I want. " "But Mr. Larson, our family had a good relationship before. Why did you suddenly change? Is it because of Cassandra? If you are angry because we treated her that way, I have my reason. Cassandra isn't my daughter. She's only a daughter of one of my helpers who died when she gave birth to her." "Still, you and your children don't have the right to treat her like a slave. She's a human too. And I don't condone bullying. I am firmly against it. Your children are heartless, the same as you. I don't want any connection with your family anymore." "Mr. Larson, I'm
CASSANDRAToday is Saturday, and I've been busy in my drawing room all day. I had already finished my painting, which covered the entire wall. I smiled, gathered all my things, and returned them to the drawers. "Miss Cassy, it's time for dinner.""Okay, Harold. I'll follow. Thank you."After dinner, Attorney Adrian told us to get ready because we were leaving in an hour; I was so excited. Jenny and Sarah have already helped me to choose the clothes I will wear later.I went to my room, took a quick bath, and blew dry my hair. I put on my clothes and sat in front of my vanity mirror, and I was so thankful when Sarah and Jenny came into my room, grinning, already dressed up, but they didn't have any makeup yet."Sorry, Cassy, but we came here because you have lots of makeup. Can we borrow some?" Sarah asked."Of course. I smiled. Alex bought me lots of expensive makeup, which I have yet to use."Let me do your makeup first." Sarah excitedly said, turning my chair to face her.She opene
ALEXANDER I watched as Cassy and the others went downstairs. I stood near the wall, watching them. She looked stunning tonight. Her beautiful legs are on full display for the first time. Her clothes show off her perfect figure. "Do you want to go down there?" Adrian asked, standing beside me. He handed me a glass of wine with our eyes not leaving the dance floor, but my eyes only fixed on Cassandra. "Let them have fun. They will feel awkward when I join them. "I don't know that Cassandra has a hidden talent for dancing," Adrian commented. They formed a circle, and each one of them went into the center to show a dance move. I smiled to see her laughing. I want that smile to stay on her lips. I kept my eyes on them while slowly sipping my wine when I spotted someone approaching their group. "Isn't that Kris and his sister Christina? " "Let's watch. Bryan, Dustin, Billy, and Jack are there. Let's see what these two are going to do." Cassandra quickly stopped dancing when s
ALEXANDER"You don't need to worry about me. I'm James Larson's assistant. No one wants to be an enemy of Larson," I said and softly punched my chest. A smile formed on her lips, and it lessened my worries."You're the assistant and not the owner. "Don't you know I'm James's guardian? I guessed not. The Larson Corporation is under my control until James turns twenty-six. He still has four years before he can handle his parent's assets. "Now, I think you are just boasting. ""I'm not boasting. Even though I'm James' assistant, I have a connection too. And I can protect myself without James's help.""Okay, but don't hurt the man too much. What if he has children? His children and wife are the ones to suffer. ""You're very kind, Cassy, but okay. I'll only teach him a lesson so that he won't do it again."Okay, and thank you so much. This is the second time you have saved me. ""You are welcome, and I'll do it again once you're in trouble. ""Thank you. Before, no one assured me that t
ALEXANDER "Sir, are you alright?" Dustin and Bryan rushed to us. "I'm okay," I replied, even though I could feel my back throbbing. "Are you alright, Cassy? I'm sorry, I accidentally tripped on my other foot." "I'm okay, but you. I'm sure not. I heard the sound when you bumped the metal railing. Let me see your back." "I'm fine. I didn't hit the railing that hard. Come on, let's continue." I said. I stood up and offered my hand to her. Hesitantly, she placed her hand over me, and I pulled her up. "Are you sure you are okay?" "Yes, I'm okay. Don't worry." I pulled her to the middle of the rink again. I'm thankful she seems to have forgotten that I called her Angel. We glided on the ice, with her beside me while holding each other's hands. She looks so beautiful right now. She smiled with her hands spread apart, her cheeks red because of the cold, and her hair flying behind her. We did a few laps around the rink, and then I pulled my hand from her hold. Her eyes wid
ALEXANDER "Yes!" I asked when the intercom in my office sounded. James won't be in the office for a week. Roman wanted to talk to me in person, but James volunteered. He wanted to go to the US to buy his favorite figures and a limited edition, which will launch there. He couldn't buy it online, so he begged me he wanted to go on my behalf. I sigh. James is still a kid. Now I'm the acting CEO for a week. "Boss, Carlos Revira is in the lobby." "Okay, thank you, Rex." Rex owns the Security Agency for Larson Corporation and is a friend of mine. "Yes!" I answered the intercom when it sounded again. "Sir, Mr. Rivera is here." Alona is James' Secretary and Austin's wife. "Send him in." "Okay, sir." "Come in." I quickly answered when a knock at the door came. "Good morning, Mr. Larson, Mr. Romero?" "Good morning. I'm sorry, but I'm the acting CEO for a week. Mr. Larson went abroad. Have a seat." I stood up from my chair and went to the receiving area in my office. I s
ALEXANDER "Sorry, I accidentally dropped it," I said and mentally smacked my head."Just order for all of us, Xander," Adrian said when he saw my annoyed face. I glared at him and placed all of our orders."Hello, Cassy. I'm David. I introduced myself because it seem like Adrian and Xander don't have a plan to do it." I'm thankful to David for breaking the tension around us."Hello!" Cassy replied shyly. "I'm Theo, beautiful.""Shut it, Theo." I snarled. He rolled his eyes and smiled at Cassy, who looked nervous because of me. What can I do? I hate it when someone flirts with her, and I'm jealous of bastard Adrian. Cassy is very close to him, and it annoyed me.Our food arrived. I ordered steak, mashed potato, some fries in cheese, and bolognese spaghetti because I know Cassy likes all these."I can do it, Xander." She whispered when I cut her steak into bite-size pieces, but I ignored her and placed it in front of her afterward."Thank you." She whispered, blushing when Rex whistle
