2023-02-04 19:42:45I wake up to the sound of the alarm clock...
I can’t believe how long this thing’s been playing. Just today, my boss Henry is retiring and today is his last day at the company, he will introduce his son and our new boss in exactly ten minutes. And I haven’t even showered yet.
"By the way I’m Hanna, I don’t like to wake up early, but don’t think I’m lazy after I wake up I’m very agile and I love my job."
Work that I don’t know if I’ll keep after today. I try to get ready as soon as possible, I put a red tube dress guava and a nude heel, a very basic makeup because I had no time, if Clara could see me now she would surely freak out. " You can’t go out to work like this, you have to look better, you are the secretary of the CEO of the largest company in the country." I can’t help but smile thinking about it so before I leave I send her a message.
Clarinha do not kill me, but woke up late again and barely had time to get ready.
I left for my car going straight to the company without breakfast today. I cut all ties with my past, I just wanted to forget everything that happened, but I could not stop talking to Clara, or Dona Maria our favorite maid, God knows how many times that woman saved us.
I arrived at the company building half an hour after the meeting had started, and ran up without looking back. I did not calculate the noise I made when entering the meeting room abruptly, The silence took over the room and everyone was staring at me, Sabrina even lowered her head and squint out of compassion to me or just to hold the laughter, I could not decipher.
"I’m sorry sir. I had traffic problems." _ Seriously was the best I could do.
"Okay, this has never happened before." _ Henry
"Phew"
"Funny I thought you lived near miss Roshe." Nathan
Only then did I notice the man sitting next to Lord Henry, my new boss. With a posture not as simple as the father, but full of arrogance and... good and beauty. He didn’t wear a tie and the shirt was a bit open, I could feel my throat getting dry instantly. I wasn’t taught to pretend or disguise, just because I was raised in a family full of snakes doesn’t mean I learned from them.
"Are you feeling well?" Nathan asked in a sarcastic tone as he frowns at me.
"Yes. I was across town today." Hanna
I see Sabrina holding on so as not to laugh at my face as I sit facing him next to Henry, leaves her then she pays me.
"Can we resume?" We all nod to Nathan. "Well as I was saying before the interruption of Miss Roshe things will change a little, but nothing you can not follow. I know my father is friends with all of you, but I’m not here to be friends with anyone, I’m going to charge you with everything I think you can improve. This is not personal, and I hope that at least up here you know how to separate your feelings, because I will not have patience with anyone behind me crying for anything that is related to work, or to your personal problems. You are paid to work and not to have feelings about it. Was I clear?" Nathan looks directly at me, I do not understand why, but I’ve seen that he will pick on me. After everyone responds that they understood and I can’t take my eyes off those cold, grayish blue eyes, I realize they’re actually waiting for you to answer only.
"Oh, sorry. Yes, I understand." I speak and see him snitch.
Finally Henry saves us.
"Good as we have a lot of work in the company I believe it is better each one back to his post. Thank you all for your dedication and I hope you continue so with my son here too." Henry
We all got up to go to our posts, but...
"Hanna, you can stay a moment. I’d like to introduce you personally." Henry
"Yes sir." We turn my heels to them.
When everyone has left
"What you have to say, Dad, I know enough about her. I’ve done my own research." Nathan looks at me with disdain. "Although there’s nothing from before she came to college in San Francisco. You’d be surprised what I got.
"Nathan, this is Hanna." Henry spoke calmly, as if he had not heard what his son just said. "She has been my secretary since she entered college, thanks to a program of excellent students who participated. Since then she is the best, can trust her and count on her for everything she needs, and she will do everything with excellence. And Hanna, this is my son Nathan, he’ll be your boss now. Everything I ask of him, and that he cannot change and your hiring I forbid him to send you away, so your job is guaranteed." Henry
"THANK GOD.... That came out loud. Sorry. It’s just that I... Well I need the job. And I love working here." I look at Nathan but I regret it right away. Big mistake Hanna, big mistake. I don’t want to believe it, but it sounds like hate in his eyes, why doesn’t he even know me?
"That’s OK I don’t understand why this but... Be as you wish." Nathan
"Great. I’m going to go, I want to make the most of my vacation and retirement. You’ll see, you’ll thank me yet. They will make a team even more unbeatable than when I was in charge. Even Hanna?" Harry
"Until Mr Harry, enjoy your trip. We’ll all miss you." Hanna
He goes out and the mood is awkward....
"So that’s it Miss Roshe, don’t be happy yet. I can’t fire you, but nobody said anything about you deciding to quit." Nathan

What? He wants me to quit?"Senhor Na..." I started talking and he got up screaming to interrupt me."FOR YOU MISS ROSHE, IT’S ONLY MR ALBUQUERQUE. HEARD? NATHAN IS ONLY FOR MY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES. ARE YOU SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO ME?" Nathan is very close, so close that I can feel his mint breath and his woody scent. He’s even scarier up close, his eyes seem to want to freeze me alive."No sir Albuquerque, I’m not. I’m just his secretary." I speak looking deep into his eyes, so he knows I won’t give up easy."I hope you don’t forget where you belong." Nathan"You can rest assured Mr Albuquerque. I am mainly known for my great memory, I never forget anything. Can I withdraw?" I say and he nods his head and turns.I run straight to the bathroom, never cried at work before, I don’t even know why I can’t control it, what’s wrong with me? How could I let him hit me like that?Sabrina enters the bathroom and closes the door."Friend, what happened there. I called you but you ran to the bat

As always every time I get dressed like this I remember Clara, she always loved fashion and if it wasn’t for my uncles holding her at home, she would have been very talented in the business.***Clara walks into my room like a hurricane, my God, you can have so much energy at six in the morning. The blonde with brown eyes and a body cause envy in any one, jumps on the bed."I told you that you are not normal." Hanna."You said something similar. Now get up because if we are late today the prof. will take two points from my work" Clara."That’s blackmail, he always tells you that when he wants something." Hanna.She threw herself in my bed since she was ready and I went to take my bath to change. In the shower I relived the nightmare that haunted me every night. I wondered when it would finally stop. Ever since my parents died, things have gotten so complicated for me. I had to come live with my uncles, and the only good thing was that I had Clara and Maria. They were always flattering

NathanToday I woke up very well, I will show that woman that she can not deceive me as she did with my father. I called your accomplice to the office about an opportunity to do business. I don’t know why he put her in our company, if he wanted a position for her so badly, then he could have given it to his family company. The McCartney family is very famous all over the country and the world for its technologies. He also does not need to do everything he did just to give a job to the girl, in my opinion with my life experience, she who wanted so, and the poor guy was just another victim of her. It’s amazing how manipulative women are, Hanna I know your type well, I’m going to end up with what you planned for my company. I met Jessi in the cafeteria, and from there we went to the company and as I thought, he was a good man, being tricked by a "good" woman. I have to admit, she’s beautiful and hot. I arrived early and she had not yet arrived, but was on time, in ten minutes I would cal

I leave the room leaving Jessi and Nathan alone, I can’t believe he bothered to investigate me. He doesn’t trust his father? And now I’m going to have to deal with his mistrust. He can’t be messing with my past or he’ll end up making my uncle find me. What am I gonna do?She was head down when Sabrina came in."Hanna okay?" Sabrina"Ah, more or less. I need a coffee, but I can’t leave here now I’ll wait for a friend to come out of there." I speak signaling Nathan’s room"Our Laurinha told me she had a super cute guy with the boss and he was in a great mood. What happened?" Sabrina"It was a trap." She looks at me confused." Literally. And the good handsome guy, he’s an old "friend" of mine." I speak making quotes for her to understand."Is it Jessi? Jessi McCartney?" Sabrina says smiling, of course she knows almost every story."It’s himself. It’s my first and only kiss." Say"Laurinha is very distracted, how could she not recognize him from the tabloids?" Sabrina laughed."It seems l
