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
CASSANDRA I think he likes you, Cassy. " Those words replayed in my mind until we reached home. I quickly exited the car when Adrian parked in the garage and rushed to the front door. "Everyone, we are going to Jeju Island on Saturday," I announced, bouncing inside the door. I'll think about what Adrian told me earlier later. Nothing could ruin my happiness right now. "What?" Jenny was the first to approach me, followed by the others. "Jeju? I am going too?" She looked at me with hopeful eyes. "Yes, all of us." I grinned. "Yes!!! Jenny shrieked, jumping. She held my hand, and we jumped together like kids in the middle of the living room. "Wait, why are we going to Jeju?" Is there an occasion to celebrate? " "No, Ma, Sir. Xander invited us. He asked me to paint him and wanted to do it on Jeju Island. "Wow, that was thoughtful of him, but isn't it costly?" "Don't worry, Amara. Xander can afford it. He wants a few days off from work and brings us in return for Cassy's favor
CASSANDRAWe're leaving for Jeju Island early tomorrow morning. I already packed my bag, and I'm checking to see if I forgot something. We're staying for three days, and I have already planned what I will do.After I paint Xander, I'll ask the others to accompany me on a tour around the island. We'll visit all the tourist spots, swimming and snorkeling.I'm so excited. I packed two pairs of swimsuits and goggles. I love to swim. I only went to a beach once during Mama Amara's off day. I'm thankful for the first time Sir Carlos allowed me. We went to the beach, only the two of us, and I stayed in the water until I got sunburned. I still don't plan to leave the water, but Mama said I might get a skin disease if I stayed more in the water.Now I'm so excited to do it again. I hope we will stay at the beach longer. I don't need to bring my painting materials because Xander said he would provide them, and I'm thankful for that. It would be a big hassle if I did.I'm so excited to go to Je
