"How dare she?" Anette mumbled as she sat in her seat. She had been given a table in the social media team.She had never felt so insulted in her life. Aletta had schooled her and it was all because she wanted to be close to Joshua."Ms Anette, the president will have a meeting with all the new staff by two pm today why don't you join the team in taking care of the venue beforehand?" Chole asked her.She did not like the idea of her having to work or any other person bossing her around but she had promised her brother to work hard as long as he secured the job for her.After the very embarrassing moment between herself and Joshua on Saturday her mom had advised that the best way for her to get into his space was to go to his workplace.Anette had argued that since it did not work for her mom it might most likely not work for her. Leslie had told her daughter that she had given up and that was the reason why she did not get Xavier then."Yes ma'am" Anette said standing up and trying to
Anette entered the hall with the document in her hand. She was pissed that she was there but tried to control herself, she would be at a loss if she flared up now.Her eyes roamed the entire floor of the room as she tried to find a familiar face in the crowd and her face lit up when she saw Jeanne talking with a man in the crowd.Jeanne had been treating her badly but it was better to be around her instead of other people who she did not know. "Hello Jeanne," Anette said standing beside her. "What do you want?" Jeanne asked her voice full of spite and annoyance."Oh come on, we are both starting work today we should be best friends so we can help each other out" "I rather not" Jeanne said and turned to her. "If it were you you would also forgive me for doing such a thing to you so I don't know why I should forgive you" "Don't you think you are holding a grudge for too long?" Anette asked.She felt like she was at the end of the rope and she would flare up on Jeanne any moment from
The day was over and Aletta was wrapping up her activity so she could go home. Joshua had told her to send the driver off so they could go on a date. She was getting excited because as it is now they were sneaking around trying to avoid the press and media while trying to date."Is Joshua in?" Aletta raised her head to meet the gaze of Anette in front of her."It's Mr. Delgado, we are in the office" Aletta replied eyeing Anette in front of her. "What?" Anette asked in confusion blinking her eyes rapidly."We are at work, you have to be respectful of his position," Aletta said in a tone as if she were teaching her."It's past working hours" Anette said scrunching up her face in confusion. Why did she need to address everyone so formally? She hated that she had to be here."But this is an office" Aletta said resting into her chair and twirling it a bit.Anette thought to herself of how bold Aletta was. She did not know why she was being so adamant about formalities. Aletta raised her e
"What do you have to say?" Joshua asked not raising his head from his table."Why are you treating me like such a sinner?" Annette asked sniffing. She knew that he hated to see her cry and he would be moved if she cried."I made a mistake but it was only because of my love for you and nothing more" she said tears rolling down her cheeks."And I apologized" she added in more tears. "I am sincerely sorry" "Is that why you came here to work?" Joshua asked finally raising his head."I told Andrew that I would like to finally take responsibility for my life and asked him for advice, he told me that working would be the best option so I asked him to help me with work" She told the tale in a way that would make her seem good. "That's good since you would be working you should focus your energy on work instead of trying to win me over," Joshua said harshly.Annette sighed. She knew that she had to present the best image to him. "Of course, it is obvious that you sincerely love your girlfrie
"Let's go for dinner but we have to go with Ms Brunswick I am making her work overtime so I need to get her dinner as well" Joshua said.He knew it would be difficult and pointless to try and avoid her because she would just keep popping up over and over again."What?" Anette asked her face turning sour. She had a plan for that night. She was going to get him drunk and then into a room and blackmail him with a one-night stand but seeing that Aletta would join them she knew her plan was slowly failing."Why don't you just give her your card so she can buy dinner on her own?" Anette asked. She gave herself a mental pat for coming up with a solution so quickly."You don't want her to join us?" Joshua asked raising his eyebrow in confusion.Was she supposed to be picky about who they had dinner with?"It's not that, I just thought we would have dinner as friends and not have someone else impose on us" she said."Well if anyone is imposing it's you because I promised to buy her dinner tonig
Joshua told Aletta all they had discussed after he had teased her about being cute for trying to know what they had discussed. He was going to tell her anyway but he felt touched that she wanted to know."I found this place online, it's really popular these days," Anette said as they entered the car.She had fought for the passenger seat close to Joshua who was the one driving. Aletta had let her have it since she did not want to raise suspicion, especially in the mind of Anette."Let me have the address where we will go there" Joshua said before she could go into details about the place."Really?" she squealed in excitement." I have always wanted to go there since I returned to Chiachester" she added before imputing the address into the car GPS."I hope their meals are worth the hype" Aletta murmured silently."What was that Aletta?" Anette asked ensuring to put a tone of spite on her name.Aletta knew that Anette clearly did not want her there and it was kind of obvious to everyone
"We will have the raw fish platter," Anette said as the waiter walked to their table with the menus in his hands."Oh okay," the waiter said with a shocked expression on her face as he walked away."You did not even allow us to take a look at the menu?"Joshua asked trying to fill up his cup with the jar of water on the table."Trust me, I have had their platter before and it tastes delightful," Anette said touching his arm lightly."I don't eat raw fish" Aletta said pursing her lips together."Oh, you don't?" Anette's eyes were twinkling as if she had just received extremely good news from her."Yes" Aletta said and Anette shook her head."Oh too bad, this is a raw fish restaurant" Anette said.She felt so good, she had not even known that Aletta did not eat raw fish when she picked this restaurant but now she had a good reason to kick her out."Then should we change restaurants?" Joshua asked shuffling in his seat."Yes please," Aletta said turning to face Joshua with a pleading expr
"Thank you for getting me out of there" Aletta said as she drove out of the place."No need to thank me, I felt a little suffocated as well" Joshua said merging with the main lane."Then why did you agree to have dinner with her?" "I knew that she would only make an issue out of it and cry crocodile tears in front of the parents while trying her best to make me the bad guy" Joshua explained."Really? I wonder how you all did not notice until now" Aletta said. It was weird that only Jeanne had seen her true nature and that everyone had tried to silence her when she tried to explain it to everyone."I do wonder as well, it's like she deceived us for such a long time," Joshua said. "I had always known her to push until she got what she wanted and I always saw it as a good trait but looking back now I can tell that she was just good at making people see her as someone who needed help despite her own situation" "You should be careful of her or else she might just push with enough tenacit
