"As I was saying, Nicholas, I'll give you a week to solve that problem. Not one more day. You know how I am about that." Mr. Miller gave his son a reproachful look. I had no idea that Mr. Miller was this demanding. I didn't know Nick much but I had heard he had brought the company to the top more than his father. And obviously there will be problems along the way, but deep down I knew that Nick would be able to solve them. It's just that apparently not even his own father trusts him. "You've told me twice already, father," Nick replied, his attitude absolutely angry. But he held back. Dinner was proving a bit awkward. As we all ate, the three of us gave each other uncomfortable glances. Until Mr. Miller's stayed with me. I tensed at that moment. "How did you tell me that you're calling?" Now his tone was calmer with me. "Elizabeth Hills," I replied a little nervous. I was having dinner with three imposing men. I felt prey to them. "Elizabeth ... I guess your friends ca
I settled down a bit in the swivel chair, I didn't understand how this man yesterday wrote to me like a teenager and today he acts like nothing. I checked my cell phone to reread the messages, for a moment I thought that maybe I was the one who made a mistake. Not! Obviously I'm not crazy, the messages were intact and with the bad spelling, I went back to the photo of him, I had to refresh my eyes a bit. He was just online and I was just saying "Hello" but I shook my head to drive away those bad thoughts. Come on, Elizabeth, you must focus on your work. At the same time I remembered Nate, he was not far behind, he was carved by the gods themselves. I went through the documents I had on the table and they were all for Nick, so he would call me again at any time. "Hello, friend, how are you doing?" Vanesa approaches my cubicle. "Of the best" I smiled from ear to ear "How are you?" "A little sleepless, I was reviewing some reports that Mr. Miller wanted them for today so I'm wa
-Surprised by the power of this beauty," he boasted, overtaking car after car.-A little," I agreed, but deep down I wasn't amused by anything Nate said.-At least they treat you well at Nicholas's company," he turned to look at me with this lens reflecting my face.-Since I joined the company they have treated me well, as you know I'm on probation and I think he does it to see how well his workers perform.-Ha! No matter how many things Nicholas does this year I will reign again in the business," he raised his eyebrows.I liked Nate a little while ago but it was getting a little annoying to hear him talk about his "friend".-Is your company something your parents left you or did you start it," he wanted to know if he was going to brag this time.-It's a company that my parents founded many years ago, but they discovered that I have the business skills and I made it grow in a record period, so you're with a celebrity in that-he put his right hand on my leg, the other one he kept on th
I looked at my watch, it was almost noon, the staff will be looking for lunch time rather. I was still hungry, and I felt nervous because I don't know how Nicholas would act now that I was back. I don't know if he will be angry or if he will fire me. I was supposed to be on probation and that's where I'm supposed to be on my best behavior. But I did something wrong today, I just hope I don't suffer the consequences.When I got to the elevator the doors opened, out of it came Vanessa.-Beth! -She approached me, apparently she was ready for lunch.-Vanessa, is Mr. Miller still in his office?She hesitated a little.-No, in fact he just went down to the company cafeteria five minutes ago to get some lunch. Do you want to go with me?I hesitated a little, maybe I could talk to Nick and apologize in the cafeteria.-Okay, let's go," we both walked down a hallway I hadn't come down before. It was long and at the end we could see an open hall. It had glass windows that looked out onto a small
I quickly went to Vanessa's office, I felt anxious, if I felt nervous here, now I don't want to imagine in another company and still with that witch Sabrina present.-Vanessa, I'm glad I found you," I tucked my hair behind my ear.-What brings you here? I was reviewing documents.-It's Nick-I bit my lips.-What happened with him? Don't tell me he got mad about what you did with Nate," he looked under his glasses.-No, on the contrary, he wants me to go with him to Sabrina's father's company, he sent me to give me some documents that should be ready," I crossed my arms.-So you're going into the lion's den," he scratched his chin, "interesting....-What's interesting," I frowned.-That Nick wants to take you there, he knows that when Sabrina sees a girl near him she gets hysterical, be careful with that madwoman, Elizabeth. Don't let her try to humiliate you just because you're on probation.-Don't worry that won't happen, I know how to defend myself very well with vipers like her -I t
When we arrived it was pouring rain, the weather had suddenly turned very cold. There was lightning and even some lightning that made me shiver. Nick and I quickly got out of the car and headed for the living room of the hotel. As I guessed, it would be one of those five star luxury hotels. Even for one night my boss was spending that much.-I'll ask if there's a room available," he says, taking off his jacket and handing it to me, "So you can dry off a bit," his eyes moved to my breasts. Great, that was the second time he had looked at my bra. Just as it was the second time I was getting wet in the rain.-Okay," I took it. Nick approached the reception desk, where there was a young and very pretty girl. She as soon as she saw Nicholas her gaze lit up and quickly her flirtatious mode kicked in. I rolled my eyes to myself as I dried the ends of my hair. It was late at night and I needed dry clothes to wear, I didn't want to get sick.Nick and the girl exchanged words, my boss didn't se
-It's time to get up, Beth," I felt a voice somewhere between sleepy and awake, "Come on, wake up, sleepyhead," this time I felt a small touch on my buttock. I immediately reacted.-Why are you touching my buttock," I covered myself since I was a little uncovered.-I haven't done anything out of this world, have I," he finished buttoning his pants.-Well, let me tell you that nobody has put his hand there, the right guy hasn't arrived yet so he has the right to put his hand there and more..." I watched him out of the corner of my eye to see his reaction.-According to you, what is the model of man you are waiting for," he put on his girdle.-For me, the ideal man is the one who truly loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me no matter what, that's my fantasy.-Well, I don't believe you, women always look at more than feelings. So you say that right now, but later your thinking will change-he finished dressing.-You are wrong with me, maybe you are used to have as many w
-What are you doing at your parents'? -When Tyler and I walked into the apartment, we headed towards my room. My room was a mess, there were things thrown here and there. But it was Tyler, I didn't care.-I want to pay you a visit," I replied, as I pulled my suitcase out of the closet. It was small, black. I would only go on Saturday and Sunday because on Monday I had to come to class and obviously to work.-It's been a long time since you've visited your parents, I mean, in all the years we've been neighbors I haven't seen you go out like this. You must be very sick.I looked at him strangely.-What do you mean, not well? -I put the open suitcase on the bed and went to get some clothes out of my closet. Tyler was just sitting on the edge of my bed talking. I didn't even know why I told him to come with me.-It was just a comment," he shrugged.-Where is your house? -he wanted to know, now he leaned back on the bed putting his arms as pillows. I rolled my eyes inwardly but didn't say
