I had just made a new discovery. How didn’t I know? Connor’s last name is Ace? He is really that powerful? I should’ve known from the influence he’d used in getting me out of cell, the house, the cars, the maids. I was expecting him to be filthy rich, but really, this had exceeded my whole expectations. I’d been rude to the multi billionaire, Connor Ace is the world youngest billionaire and the most eligible bachelor, I’ve heard about him multiple times, but I didn’t get to see a picture of him. It all started making a lot of sense. I was already lost in my deep thought until the voice of the attendant jerked me back to reality. “Try these on, Miss” She said, handing me a pile of female suits and gowns. “That is the dressing room, you can call for my attention when needed” She continued, pointing towards the dressing room. “Okay, Thank You. Lisa, follow me” I said, giving Lisa little to no time to protest before dragging her in with me. “So, Connor owns ACE?” I asked
**CONNOR** She hasn’t called back since I had asked Roy to drive her and Lisa to the boutique. I thought with a slight frown, taking a break from my work and picking up my phone. I’d scrolled through my call logs before finally getting to Alannah’s number and I clicked on it. Ring ring came the sound at the other end of the call before it finally connected. “Hello” Alannah had said in her sleepy voice, sounding tired. “Hello” I said. “It’s Connor.” I continued introducing myself like she had no idea I was the one on the call” “were you sleeping?” I asked. Of course she was, what kind of question was that and why did I even call her in the first place, I thought to myself. “Yes, Mr. Connor, the shopping was exhausting and I just thought to take a nap” Alannah replied. “Oh.” I said, did she just refer to me as Mr. Connor? Alannah had just called me by my name with an hint of respect, I initially thought she was being sarcastic, but there was no hint
It had been a long day for Connor. The meeting was even more stressful than he’d imagined. Everyone pitching their ideas and him having to concentrate, one thing he really wasn’t doing. Immediately the last minute was taken, Connor was grateful, it had almost been like he was in hell and for some reasons he couldn’t wait to be home, he convinced himself he only needed a bit of rest, pinching the bridge of his nose, Connor sighed and subtly walked away. “My office is a mess, get it all cleaned up” he said to the lady at the front desk while walking out. He got into the car and signaled to the driver to drive, “Are we going to the mansion, Sir?” the driver had asked as it was too early and it’s quite unusual of Connor to get back to the house this early, he would usually go to a bar and stop for a drink or two and call one of his girls over, somehow, Connor liked the idea of having that much girls, they respected him, feared him a lot and he loved the feeling he gets by be
**Alannah** Connor walked to the dining hall, pale. He looked like something had happened to him back in his room, but he’d rather not talk about it, Nanny McPhee asked if he was alright and he reluctantly replied he was. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost” I had said. “Why don’t you mind your own business?” He replied. Yes, I should’ve just minded my business and kept my mouth shut. I watched as Connor made his way to his seat beside Nanny McPhee and she seemed to understand him, because he seemed like a small child the whole time. Finishing my dinner, I walked back to my room leaving both of them at the table. “Goodnight” I said, standing up, the chair making a creaking sound as I moved it. “Goodnight my dear” Nanny McPhee replied. I made my way upstairs and walked down to my room slightly anxious, but mostly excited about my new job. The company must be so desperately in need of a financial manager because Connor had asked me to resume to
I haven’t even gotten halfway through and I feel stressed out already. I felt really tired and I needed something to regain my energy. I need a cup of coffee. Picking up the telephone and dialed Bella, she picked not long after it rang. “Bella, please send Sam to my office with a cup of coffee. Triple shot espresso with heavy cream. Thank You” I said. “Okay, Coming right up” Bella answered and dropped the call. Not long after, Sam knocked on my door with my cup of coffee and I signaled that he comes in, I threw my head back against my ergonomic chair and sighed. “Are you Okay, Miss?” Sam asked. “You don’t look good.” I forced out a small laugh. “Oh yes, I’m perfectly alright. Just slightly tired, but I’ll be fine. I only need a cup of coffee and I’ll be good as new” I said as I took the cup from him and asked him to leave. “Okay” He said, relieved. Sam left and I took a sip of my coffe, it gave me a relaxing feeling and I let out another sigh. I decided I’d
Connor walked in and I stood up, I didn’t know why but I guess it’s because of the fact that he’s my boss now. “Please. Sit.” He said gently, while sitting down himself. I sat down and he started “I can see you’re fitting in quite well, Alannah” He said, he must’ve seen me get out of Camilo’s car the other time. “Oh yes, I am trying.” I replied. He squinted and looked at me for a while before finally nodding his head. “Okay. Good.” He said. “I noticed you worked on the files that was sent to my office very efficiently and that’s good.” He commended. “Thank you. I am not done with most of them as there is a lot to do, but I’ll make sure to finish it all as soon as I can, Sir.” I reluctantly added the “Sir” it felt somehow addressing Connor so formally, not strange just, somehow. “Okay, Good.” He said while standing up to leave my office. His cell phone rang and he picked it up on his way out, I couldn’t tell who was calling but I knew it was definitely someone speci
I stabbed at my food as I watch Connor sit down and I let out a small snare at him. He probably thinks he’s Brad Pitt with that hot body. I was thinking to myself, I was in my thoughts so much so that I didn’t realize Nanny McPhee had said something earlier. “Ana.” I heard the voice that brought me back to reality and puzzled because the way the voice had said my name made me jump a little, then I realized it was Nanny McPhee’s voice. “What?” I asked, turning to look at her. “What were you thinking? I’ve been trying to talk to you.” Nanny McPhee answered. “Nothing. It’s just, I’m really tired. I’m sorry.” I apologized and she gave me a sweet smile. I turned to look at Connor whose eyes were already fixed on me and as if he had gotten a satisfying result, he smiled before looking back down at his food. “This Sexy son of a fun really thinks....” I was thinking when Nanny McPhee’s voice came again. “How’s the work? Do you like it there?” Nanny McPhee asked
I fell back asleep almost immediately I finished eating and after a while I woke up to see Uncle Eddie by my bedside. My vision was blur at first, but it cleared up and I called. “Uncle Eddie?” “Oh darling, you’re awake. Thank goodness.” He said, hugging me and immediately left me when I let out a small wince. A nurse had come in to check on me. “Where is Mama and Papa?” I asked, wincing as I struggle to sit up, but failed and Uncle Eddie helped me back down and told me not to stress myself. I asked again “Mama and Papa?” Uncle Eddie face dropped and he braces up. “Alannah, you’ll have to calm down, Okay?” He said. What does that even mean and why? “Ok.” Was all I could let out. “On your way to Disneyland, a drunk truck driver bumped into your parents car and it was really serious. Now the medics, the doctors. They came there and you were the only person they could pull out of the car. No one thought you’d make it, but the doctors they tried their best.” Uncle Eddie
