It's the third week of summer, the sun is shining on its brightest level, the birds are chirping, people are happy, the atmosphere is pleasant.
The only panic going on is on 'BB Corporations' where the employees are running here and there - some with a pile of files, some with important documents and some with a huge mug of coffee towards the President room.
It's ten in the morning and all of them are tired as the day is over but they know it's just the beginning of a tough day. Just as the clock ticks ten each one of them stood straight like an assembly.
A black Range Rover escorted by four powerful SUV's stopped in front of a thirty-story building. The driver and the bodyguards quickly stepped out of the car.
As the bodyguards bowed down, the driver opened the rear door and a girl stepped down, removing her shades.
Her Amazonian figure sat well on her wafer-thin body. She had a decanter shaped waist and her complexion had an impeccable, ochrous hue. Her pencil-thin eyebrows eased down gently to her black, beetle-leg eyelashes. A sculptor could not have fashioned her seraph's ears and pixie's nose any better. Filed to perfection her venus -red fingernails ran through her blonde hair. Spools of it plunged around her photogenic face and hid a swan's neck, elegant and smooth. Her Eden-green eyes which were a sparkle with the 'joie de vivre'. They were like two beryl-green jewels, melted unto snow. Her calamine - pink lips were like rose petals. Her voguish pant coat still kept captive an aroma redolent of cinnamon and meadow fresh mint.
"Madam.." the driver bowed down showing her the way. She made her way in the company, royally. The assistant stood at the entrance waiting for her boss, as always.
"Good morning, ma'am. The files you asked for is being kept on your desk," she spoke respectively.
"Clara.." her magnificent yet bossy tone was just like an order.
She gave her shades to her assistant and went in the elevator where her another assistant, Ron, was waiting for her.
"Morning, ma'am. You have a meeting with French clients in an hour." Ron informed carefully.
The first rule in BB Corporations - no long conversations, just small and business talk.
"Gather everyone in the meeting room." ordered the boss.
Clara quickly ran to gather each and every employee while Ron ran to make her coffee.
Exact five minutes later a group of total one fifty people entered the room.
The largest meeting on the top floor was spacious and handsome with large transparent walls. There sat the boss at the head of the lengthy horseshoe-shaped meeting table.
The light coming from the windows behind her made her hair shine to a shade of a blonde and her fair skin glowed.
All of the employees stood there fearing the boss.
"Who am I?" she asked dryly.
"Billina Bernand." all of them quickly replied.
The second rule in BB Corporations - quick answers.
"Yes. And who are all of you?" she asked again with the same tone.
"Workers!" replied the employees.
"Then who the hell asked you to be the boss?" this time her tone was loud.
No one dared to answer.
Clara was walking and she met the manager, Patrick, on the way.
"Hello, am I late?" he asked Clara to which she replied by saying, "No, the meeting just started."
"What meeting? The French's are here?" he took a quick look at his wristwatch and asked.
"No, the surveillance issue," replied Clara.
"Oh God! Have mercy. What colour is she wearing today?" asked Patrick, a little terrified.
"Black," replied Clara.
"Thank God, usual mood," said Patrick.
Together both of them made their way in the meeting room.
''So, you admit your mistake?" Billina asked in an impassive tone.
''No, it wasn't me." the worker shook his head.
"Is this your final decision?" she asked, her gaze fixed on him. Sweat forming from his forehead and after a minute of silence, he shouted, "Don't look at me like this! I told you. I did not."
Billina raised both of her brows in astonishment while Ron gulped and Patrick whispered to Clara in a low voice saying, "He's dead today."
"Ron!" Billina said in a loud voice and he quickly opened the 60inch Plasma TV which was hung on the wall and a video started playing.
It was the surveillance video that the man secretly went into her cabin and tried to stole a document.
Nobody dares to enter the President room. The colour drained from his face when he saw himself in the CCTV footage and gulped in horror.
"I-I'm sorry....." he could hardly speak. The words were not coming out from his mouth.
"Your apology needs to be as loud as your disrespect was," she said in an arrogant tone.
"I...." as the man was about to speak she raised her hand up and replied, "You are fired." the man was in a trance while the rest of them were calm as if they knew this was going to happen.
After all, she was Billina Bernand and her employees were aware of it.
"Ma'am please don't do this.." the man came closer to her, pleading but Patrick and Ron quickly stopped him on the way.
"The decision is final. Don't you know her?" Patrick said in an impassive tone.
With a wave of her hand, the man was being taken away by the security.
"I don't tolerate this shit in my office. You all know this..." with this the lecture began.
Billina Bernand was a billionaire beauty. Burying herself in work she was single, being an independent woman and running a big corporation.
Then, she dismissed each of them and asked about the meeting to Patrick.
"Ma'am here is your hot coffee and the French clients are here," informed Clara, the assistant.
A few minutes later, some men, dressed in perfect business attire walked in the meeting room.
"Ms Bernand.." greeted the man. One of them, Mr Fernando was the owner and the rest were the managers and dealers.
"Mr Fernando. I'm glad you're here." Billina with a poker face greeted them.
The rumour was true, Billina Bernand never smiles. Her employees have never seen her smiling ever. Even the biggest projects she won.
"Is Mrs Bernand here?" she whispered in Clara's ear.
"Yes ma'am, she's just coming." nodded Clara.
As all of them got seated, then the door of the meeting room pushed open and with the help of two bodyguards walked a very sophisticated lady. She was in her mid-sixties, really old but she maintained herself in a way that she looked rich and elegant.
Billina turned around and quickly stood up and walked to her.
Billina Bernand was never been so caring but this time her facial expressions were soft as she took a hand of the noble lady and walked with her towards the table.
All of the men stood up in respect and greeted the lady.
Jules Bernand was the grandmother of Billina Bernand. When she got seated on the head chair, Billina got herself seated next to her grandma.
"Good day, Mrs Bernand." greeted Fernando.
"Good day, gentlemen." she smiled in a noble manner.
"So, let the meeting begin," said Billina, a little impatient.
After an hour of discussion, Mr Fernando and his men were impressed with Billina's idea and they agreed.
"The French Corporations would be happy to work with BB," he informed with a satisfying smile on his face.
"Good," replied Billina, emotionless.
They then shook hands.
Grandma, are you hungry?" she asked with a serious expression on her face.Sitting on her boss chair Billina was talking to her grandmother who was comfortably seated on a large sofa."No, Billina. Have you thought about the matter I told you about?" asked her grandmother with a hint of excitement on her face.Billina sighed and replied, "Not again, grams.""Billina.. you are 23. I think it's time for you to get married. At least bless me with your kids." pleaded Jules."We've discussed this a million times and my answer is the same as always. I'm not interested grandma," she replied casually."Till when you are going to hold a grudge against innocent men just because your father..." grandma mentioned carefully until Billina interrupted her by saying, " That man was not my father, grandma!" Billina slammed her hands on the table making her grandmother startled."Oh and grandmother, men are never innocent," she added in a confident tone."What happened was an accident.. you also know th
The car reached in front of a luxurious villa and it was based on three-story building. A truly magnificent villa with an infinity pool and large garden, offering a stunning view.The dinner was being arranged on an outdoor terrace on the second-floor balcony, giving a breathtaking view.Billina stepped out of the car and walked towards the villa. Few servants waited for her arrival and greeted her."Good evening, Ms Bernand. The guests are here with your grandmother. I assume you are not ready yet." the manager, Lora said politely."I am all ready, Lora," Billina said and walked upstairs.The sweet voices of two women talking about marriage were heard as Billina walked further in.'Marriage.. marriage.. marriage." Billina sighed and walked into the terrace."Ahh... Billina finally you're here." her grandmother smiled sweetly, but her appearance made her a little un
"Grandma, you know today we have lunch with the Parkers." Billina was sitting on her car and talking on the phone with her grandmother, while the driver took the car to the BB Corporations.After a minute of silence, she spoke, "Do you have a doctor's appointment today?" she asked with a neutral expression on her face."Alright, I'll go with you." she nodded.Ten minutes later, the car reached in front of a large building, painted in grey. BB was a multinational corporation and every person in the USA of out of it was aware of this company and Billina Bernand.At a very small age, she just made her name as the ruthless businesswoman of America. She was all over the news and on the front pages of magazines like Forbes, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Elle and many more.And for the past two months, she was on the cover of Forbes with a title 'Billina Bernand, the billionaire beauty'.Many bache
Billina finished the meeting with the Parkers and went for an interview with Forbes.She was wearing a black tux, looking ravishing rich.After being greeted by the host, she got herself seated."So, Ms Billina Bernand. Why did you start your business?" asked the host, with a pleasant smile on her face."Well.. my grandfather started this business as BB Corporations back in 60's," she replied neutrally."What is the real story behind BB?" the host asked."Uhm.. there's no such story. My grandfather's name was Benjamin Bernand and he named the business BB as in the short form of his name. Then, he named his son-my father Brian. That was with a B too. Then my parents named me Billina. So all of our generations are taking after B." she replied with a light chuckle."I heard your business started with 5 employees by your granddad. What is it like to have thousands of pe
Billina took one quick look at her wristwatch and said, "I must go. Suit yourself.""Leaving so soon, Ms Bernand?" Conor asked with a ravishing smile on his face."Yes because getting wasted in a bar is not my style," she said proudly.Conor raised both of his brows in astonishment.There was something about this girl... she never throws herself for a man. Her reputation precedes her.Such a sophisticated lady she is.To be honest, Conor thinks that formal wear looks good on her.Another second and two girls- more like sluts in a knee-length dress threw themselves at Conor."I got company, Bernand. See ya!" he winked at Billina who just rolled her eyes and walked away.Next morning all the newcomers reached BB Corporations by 9 and were told that a trainer is coming to give them a professional trainer. Ashton was there too.Even if he knew that he was at risk here but he still wanted to try his luck. Maybe
All the parked cars were seriously damaged. The security came, Colonel was distressed, but luckily no one got hurt.Sweat formed off Ashton's forehead. He was in trouble. Wasn't he?"What have you done?" The colonel shouted at him."Just go!" he added, giving him an icy stare.Ashton, with a sad face, was going back from the building and met Jules where they first met."You! Stop!" Jules noticed that the man who saved her from falling off the stairs was going so she stopped him to thank him.Ashton was lost in his thoughts and he didn't hear what the old woman had said.It was his only chance to find a job but he was so unlucky that every time something was going good he makes a mistake.How will he able to pay the bills and what will he eat?He only has $5 with him. And in this big city like Chicago, he couldn't find a decent job.Walking a few steps and he got bumped into something hard. Raising his head, he saw a m
A week has passed by, Ashton was very happy in his new office and Jules was satisfied with him.His only work was to go through the files which she needed to sign, take her to the doctor's whenever the appointment was fixed and feed her food and supplements.As Billina was out of the city for some work, therefore, Jules attended the office regularly.The Smiths planned a meeting with BB and as Billina wasn't available, so Jules set up the meeting."All ready?" she asked Patrick, the manager as she walked through the elevator."Yes, Mrs Bernand, all is set. The Smiths must be here in a minute or two." Patrick nodded and said.Jules, followed by her new assistant Ashton, went in her cabin."Ma'am do you want a coffee?" he asked politely.Jules shook her head and waited patiently for her clients to arrive.A few minutes later, Patrick came and informed her about the client's arrival.Ashton helped her stood up and
Catching his breath, Ashton felt his stomach was tied in knots.Where did he go? Whose house did he break into? Oh and not to forget the saw a girl naked.Ashton was breathing heavily, when he saw the guard, he quickly walked towards him and said, "Let's go."Down the road, he kept on thinking about the girl. Although he couldn't saw her face he saw her beautiful cream-coloured body wrapped in a towel, her long blonde hair.Oh and the sexy tattoo on the backside of her neck.Later when he went to Jules and told her that he could not make it inside the house as it was locked."Locked? But the house is never locked." she shook her head.But he knew he was lying. He cannot lose a job for sneaking into someone else's room. For God sake, it was a naked girl he almost saw.He won't be spared. Plus nobody will hire him if he will be kicked out of the BB Corporation."Well, alright. Let it be." Jules sighed lazily
