"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 bachelor young businessmen were after her but she was simply not interested.
Clara and Ron were waiting for their boss's arrival.
"Ma'am, Ritz Carlton is being booked for your lunch with the Parkers and I've invited them," Clara informed after she greeted her boss.
"After that....." as Ron was about to speak further Billina interrupted by saying, "Cancel the Smiths for today."
"Ma'am is there anything you want us to reschedule?" asked both of them.
"Yes, I will just meet the Parkers today and make an appointment for my grandmother with doctor Richards," she ordered walking in the president room and went through some files till the door on the knock distracted her.
"Come in," she shouted.
The door of the room pushed open and Patrick the manager came in.
"Grey...means you're too busy today." Patrick guessed by the colour of her suit.
"What is it?" she asked furrowing her brows.
"Are we free for a minute?'' he asked hesitantly.
"Yes, Patrick. Say.." she closed the files and looks at him immediately, noticing the change in his voice.
"The manager of Forbes invited you for an interview," he said carefully.
"When?" she asked leaning back on the chair.
"Today.." he mentioned carefully.
"And you confirmed them?" she slammed the hands on the table, angrily.
Patrick got startled and stood up immediately defending himself.
"Billina, I thought this might be a good chance for you. You know Forbes hardly invites a person for an interview.. So I...."
"And you don't even ask me.." she stood up walking back and forth.
The way she was yelling made the workers startled. There was a tension in the president room and Patrick was being scolded.
Now if he returns with the bad mood from boss's office, he will give the rest of them a hard time.
All the eyes were on the president room.
"You know I cancelled the meetings with Smiths just because I have to take grandma hospital for a checkup," she said with her brows knitted in frustration.
"Can't I go by myself?" there came a raspy voice, Billina turned around to look her grandmother walking in, like a boss.
"Grandma..." she quickly walked towards her and made her sit on a sofa.
When Jules was seated down, she looked up to her granddaughter and said, "You go to work. I can go by myself."
"But I..." Billina was interrupted by her again, "You know I always prefer work first."
"Work is not important than your health," Billina said.
"That's why I'm going hospital and you for an interview." her grandmother said.
She can be a bossy sometimes. Of course, the high-class attitude runs in the family.
"Alright.." Billina rolled her eyes, then went for lunch with Parkers. And after fifteen minutes, Jules walked out of the building - escorted by four bodyguards.
While she was walking by the stairs outside the building, she bumped into a man and was about to fall until the man quickly grabbed her arm.
"Ahh... thank you." Jules thanked the boy in front of her.
"My apologies, ma'am." he quickly said.
"Mrs Bernand, are you alright?" the bodyguards asked immediately.
"Yes, fine. Let's go." she nodded, then smiled at the boy and stepped in the car.
"Mrs Bernand? It means I'm at the right building.." Ashton mumbled to himself.
The lady seemed...old and noble. Could she be the boss of her empire? Billionaire Beauty?
No doubt the woman was beautiful even with loose and old skin. She must be really pretty in her younger days.
And the way she spoke... like some kind of royal person speaking.
Such luxury, walking with four bodyguards, followed by SUV.
This kind of life Ashton ever wished for.
He went into the building and walked at the reception.
"Hi. I am here for a job interview." he politely said to the receptionist.
"One second.." said the girl and pressed the intercom button.
A few minutes later, a girl in business attire came with a big tablet in her hand and a set of blue tooth device attached on her ear.
"Hi. Clara.." she saw Ashton and shook hands with him.
"Hi, Ashton George.." he replied smiling.
"Come on," she said and started walking, Ashton followed her and reached to the room where few seats were placed and people were sitting on it.
"Is that all?" Clara asked Ron and nodded.
"So, BB is hiring staff for an upcoming project which is very important for BB," Clara said to each one of them.
"And as a newcomer, you all have to put all of your efforts and give your 100%," said Ron.
"After the training, the selected person or people will be working directly with the boss," Clara said with splendid smile on her face.
"You all know what that means?" Ron asked.
All of them shook their hands.
"Idiots.." Clara mumbled rolling her eyes.
"BB Corporations in the first largest multinational firm in the USA. People working here have a lot of facilities and opportunities," she added
"Now you all have to be here by 9, every day. Be regular and punctual. No fights.. no family drama." Ron guided the people.
"Oh and the corporation is situated in a convenient location, close to all local amenities," Clara said then both Ron and Clara begun the training.
"Okay, so some of you may be selected as the personal assistants of the bosses here ... so here are certain things you all have to know," Clara said with a neutral expression on her face.
As Billina wasn't available so Ron and Clara were free and they trained the newcomers personally.
Going back after a tiring day of training, Ashton heard two people gossiping about their job.
"This is a waste of time. I'm not coming from tomorrow. The job is not final yet." said a man harshly.
"Yea these big people have no mercy training period then trial period and when the rich and arrogant boss will approve then our jobs may be finalized." said another man in a cold tone.
"It's a risk." said the first man again. Ashton thought about the matter and sighed.
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
Ashton reached the office and took the elevator to the VIP floor. As he didn't saw Jules' car outside so he thought she didn't come today.He decided to arrange her table meanwhile. As he was about to open the door, he overheard the conversations of two people.One was the voice of Jules Bernand and she was talking to a female."No, grandma. The least I can do for you is to marry Conor," she said with a rage in her voice."But what's wrong with him? He's a nice guy." Jules argued in a despairing tone."Oh, yea? Ask me. He's not... He's a total playboy. Don't get me started because I know his biodata more than you do." the granddaughter argued back."Alright. If not Conor then it might be someone else. But kid, don't you think the topic of your marriage is closed." Jules said in a neutral yet sweet voice of her."Uh-huh.. not yet." Billina shook her head in disagreement."Alright.. grandma. Let's keep this argue for the next time. For n
Can I bring my pet too? I live alone too." Ashton said in fidgety."Of course. There's an application you have to fill and give your reasons." Clara smiled and said."From where can I get this application?" he asked attentively."Oh... I have one copy." Ron immediately checked his office bag and took a page out."Here. Fill it and submit in the administration dept." Ron added.He thanked them and filled the application, then submitted in the admin dept.After a long tiring day.. oh and not to forget it was a last-minute save. Ashton was finally in bed with his puppy."Yes, Toto. Tomorrow you are going to work with me." he played with his dog and went to sleep.Next day, when he reached his office with Toto in his hand, at first he wanted to keep his bag in his cabin, then Toto to the administration department.The door of his cabin was open and as he put his dog down, he quickly ran out of the room.When A
"Oh, hell no." she shook her head."I think it's time to find a boyfriend for yourself," said Jules."Turns out I actually have to talk to boys to find myself a boyfriend. What a joke!" she said with an expressionless face."What? You came back drunk, Billina Bernand?" Jules knitted her brows in frustration."Am I?" she asked.Billina had control over herself every time she had drinks. This time she was also sober but her sarcasm was next level."You know I never get high, grandma," she added standing up from the sofa.Walking towards the stairs, she gave a sign to Jules Bernand's personal maid to take her grandmother upstairs to sleep.Because of Jules old age, she could not walk properly or walk up the stairs and as Billina was a billionaire so it was no such problem for her to arrange a 24/7 caretaker.Next day Billina woke up from a phone call and shouted. She was hell angry as the clients she was going to sign th
