Evelyn didn't own a car yet, so she walks a little farther from the house until she reaches a t-junction and waits until she gets a cab.
Immediately, she hadn't seen the vehicle coming...WOOSH! .....She shreiked in disbelief.
The car had splashed dirty water all over her. The driver was gone and didn't stop.
She looked at the direction of the car in anger, until it was out of sight. At that moment, a cab pulls up in front of her...."Great" she muttered "Hello ma'am ""Hi, to the gold-market please" she said, fuming"25 dollars ma'am ""Yeah".She'd shop real quick, and go home, she thought to herself, as the only thing she could think of was lying in her warm cozy bed. The audacity of whoever it was. She gritted her teeth as she rummaged through with her thoughts. Hugo Galverra was lucky he hadn't hit the young woman. It might have added to his problems tonight.He was really pissed. How dare those foreign bastards overwhelm him.
He was trying to get a project done quickly, but the French partners were making it really difficult for him. It was a lot of money if the deal went through. He'd never been so stressed out like this before. They were giving him a hard time, but he understood that they were being careful and watching the market at the same time for the highest buyer. The meeting he'd held with the partners had lasted for hours, up until late night. He left his office to clear his head. He just wanted to be alone and think. He had to convince this French bastards quickly, before they changed their minds."Are you ready to leave now sir?" ...his P.A asked "No, I need to go somewhere, I'll be back". He didn't know where. There was no place in mind. He just needed to diffuse the anger he felt at the moment. "Come with me, you can tell the security to wait, I won't be needing them, I'll drive"."Alright sir".As they left the building, he walked towards his car where it was parked in the garage. It was a shiny black Lamborghini. He drove with so much anger. Thoughts of how he could persuade these partners flooded his mind. There was a ditch ahead of him, he hadn't seen it in time, and it was too late to avoid it....DAMN!! That was when he saw what he'd done. He had splashed a young woman standing by the side dirty water. Thank God it was only dirty water, what if he had hit her?, he could see her from his rearview mirror fuming with anger. He continued his journey without stopping. She would be fine. His personal assistant watched him as he drove. His boss could come off as cold and condescending and very impatient a lot of times, so he had to be careful with whatever he did around him. He'd been with his boss for over three years. They had a good working relationship, but that was it. His boss wasn't friendly or cheerful, he always had a stoic and uptight nature. He'd never seen him relax, but he was a kind man, a really kind man. In his years of working with his boss, he always showed kindness to him and many others around when it was least expected. "Sir where exactly do you intend to go? You've been driving in circles without stopping." ... there was silence, he hadn't heard his P.A. Eventually he stopped at the Gold-market. It was a really big and fancy market mall. He had no idea why he had stopped here, or even what he wanted. He got out of the car, looked around with nothing in his head. Maybe he'll just get a bottle of wine and leave "You can get something for yourself Pat""Thank you sir".They'd bought what they needed and left the market. As he walked towards his car, that was when he saw her. A young woman stood by his car looking around impatiently, like she was waiting for someone."Can I help you?" She turned around and he paused with breath for a minute. She was a dazzling young woman with a very natural soft beauty. She had slightly chubby cheeks and a beautifully shaped wide almond eyes, with a full pouting lips. He wasn't expecting what came next, immediately she lashed at him. "You! It was you who wasn't looking and splashed dirty water all over me!!, since you're so rich, maybe next time get yourself a driver, rather than going around with a stupid fancy car you have no idea on how to drive, wanting to hurt people. You got me soaked, and it's freezing!!"...He stared quietly and intently at her, with thoughts of how seductive her lips were, and the taste and feel of her lips.His P.A. was trying to apologize when he interrupted him
"How much do you need?""What?" She thought she hadn't heard him right"I asked how much money you need for your troubles young woman, and to ease your anger?" She stared at him in disbelief, he hadn't apologized, but was offering her money?? She couldn't believe such stupid pride..."You're such a moron! I don't need your freaking money you arrogant bastard!! the right thing for you to do is an apology not your money you psycho!!! "I'm sorry"... sounds familiar to you?"He stared at her this time, in a strange way, then without a word, got into his car and drove off.She was furious, who the hell did he think he was? She was done with her shopping, when she recognized the car that had splashed her ditch water. Now he wanted to buy her off? Did he think he was going to offer her money and just buy her? Did she look cheap to him? Or he felt every woman could be bought with money? She wasn't gonna lie, he was a really attractive man, but without manners! That's the problem with these rich guys, they never have manners. She hated his type, such proud, egotistic man. "What a rude goat!"....she murmured. She was going to forget about him, he didn't matter. She hissed as she waved at a taxi. She got home, made pancakes, then showered. She got into bed, took her laptop and began to work. She slept off on her laptop, she had a very important presentation tomorrow. "Who was that little elf?" Hugo Galverra thought to himself as he drove, he had never apologized to anyone before, let alone a woman. He was the one who always received the apology. She
Evelyn was up the next morning. She had dozed off and hadn't done much last night. She hurriedly tried to finish up the presentation, and arrange her slides well. She was done, she quickly showered.She had no idea what to wear, at last she decided on a bright red colored body con dress. It was really pretty on her and settled well around her hips area. It showed a little cleavage, but she didn't mind. She needed to look very good for the presentation today. She needed to prove to her boss that she was the one for this job and be able to convince the French partners coming in today. She had heard that they were a tough nut to crack, well, they just had to wait and see how she'd convince them. The most important thing was that her CEO would be coming in today. She had never seen him before, but she knew a little about him. She knew his name was one Mr Hugo Galverra, and he was a Spanish billionaire who was very successful in the US. He might be some old bulging man with grown kids
Hugo couldn't believe any of what was happening. So this woman was a staff in his company. He hadn't been able to get her thoughts out of his head since his encounter with her. Here she was! Isn't fate just wonderful? As soon as he entered the conference room, he noticed a woman go limp in her chair, but he didn't see her face until now. She was looking so radiant, she was a true beauty. She had also recognized him, because she refused to look up since the meeting began. She had her face bent slightly downwards. He was going to watch and see if she had anything upstairs or she was just "all mouth and no brains". About an hour later, it was her turn to continue the presentation for the project. She delivered very smoothly. She wasn't just mouth after all, but also brains. He was particularly most impressed at how composed she was, despite the friction she felt. He had asked her some questions, to throw her off balance, but she answered all very smartly. She had truly done well.
Today was Friday. She was grateful for the weekend that followed. She prepared for work and left. She hoped for the best today. As soon as she got to her office, her boss requested her presence. She got to his office and greeted him."Hello Evelyn, please sit""Thank you sir""I want to congratulate you once again for a job well done, you really did well""Thank you sir" she smiled "Uhmm Evelyn, there is something I need to tell you"Her heart sank as she listened to her boss.This was it!! she thought to herself, they were going to fire her. The CEO was going to humiliate her this way? What a wicked man!! "Evelyn?....Did you hear me?"Uhmm..." She shook her head."I said you've been promoted Evenlyn."What?" She blurted out. A promotion? She didn't understand what was happening. This was definitely not what she had expected."Relax Evelyn, it's not much of a promotion but it's a good thing. I guess Mr Galverra was very impressed that he's asked that you work for him as his secretary
