~Alexander~ The party was at a peak when I entered it. Rich people were showing off their brands and money. That is what the party was all about. Tucking my suit button, I scooped my eyes through the crowd. It’s all about the plastic beauty ready to lure you for your status and power. No genuine appreciation for the work; it’s all about showing off. The men were complimenting others wives, trying their luck for extramarital affairs, and some were ready to turn their business deals into sustainable relationships by tying their kid’s life together. I didn’t come here to check on these people, but because I wanted to celebrate our achievements with Esrael. I saw the arrangements and signaled my manager. “Is everything ok? Boss,” “No,” he wanted me to tell him where the room was for improvement. But as my employee, he should know and assess the situation by himself. “What do you think I don’t like here?” He looked around, trying to pinpoint, but found none. “You are fired,” I r
~ALYONA~ We reached home, but I left my heart with that stranger. His beautiful smile and hazel eyes caught my attention. Olivia was stressed about losing her job, as she was sure her boss saw her with me and he would ask her about us. Ivy warned her not to shout or talk to me about what had happened at the party. We all went to my home, as we were sure only my house would be where we could talk about the chaos I had made. We entered the house, ran towards the room, and hastily changed the dresses as if mom would see us in these expensive dresses; she would investigate everything. After changing the dresses, Olivia called the person who took the dresses to Mario with a thank you note. We three laid down on the bed; quietly. Nobody attempted to talk to me. I was quiet and lost in my thoughts. What a beautiful evening it was! It was the first time I felt good after meeting Shawn. It’s because of him I met this stranger. My mind was stuck, and kept repeating his touch and his passi
An entrenched feeling developed in their heart; whenever they thought about that beautiful incident, it made them smile. The reminiscence of that beautiful moment, although Alexander asked Olivia about that unknown girl the next day, which she quickly reasoned. She informed Ivy and Alyona about this reasoning and thanked them for feeding the answer in her mind. They met only once, but it seems they have known each other for a long time. Soft-hearted Alyona wanted to meet her, Mr. Right. She felt the man she met once and kissed could be her Mr. Right. She left everything in her God’s hand as she presented her desires in her prayers. “Father, It’s you and only you who knows what my heart wants, but I believe you will give me the best. If you want me to meet him, you will make the way. Amen,” She smiled and passed her kiss to her heavenly father before she went to sleep. It’s been two weeks; everything worked out for Olivia as her boss didn’t have clues that the stranger girl was her
Alyona After we finished our dinner, I waited for Olivia to come and help me prepare for tomorrow’s interview. I tried to call her, but it seemed like she was busy in her office. “Hello Olivia, where are you? I finished my dinner, waiting for you to come.” “Babe, I am so sorry. There is an emergency in our office. They fired most of the models from our company, and now we have to find new ones.” Olivia answered. I could hear her stretched breath as she was busy with her work. “I am sorry to hear that. You sound exhausted.” I answered. She heaved a low breath. “I am, Al,” “Let me call you once I am home,” she hung up the phone. Sighed, I stuffed my phone into my pocket. It’s time to prepare myself for the interview. I googled the top questions and the history of the company. The year it was established and how it grows day by day. The brands they like to work with, and all the basic questions related to time management. Some basic computer knowledge. I kept my folder ready wit
Alyona came out of the building with teary eyes. Her dreams shattered in a moment, thinking of Mr. Right’s face. She never thought the guy who responded to her kiss would be so ruthless in actual life. She was more than upset when she encountered the same man. For the last two weeks, she envisaged the thought of meeting this stranger, but when she met him, everything seemed an illusion. She removed the drops of warm water from her inner eye while settling on the wooden chair outside the tall office. While she was waiting, she received a call from Olivia. “Where are you, Al? I have been waiting for you for the last two hours. Please, come fast; my boss is waiting for you.” She jeered. Alyona’s voice was stuck in her throat as she was lost in her thought. “Alyona, are you there, babe?” Olivia said in an appealing voice. “Yes, yes... I am coming. Which floor?” Alyona answered. “Come on, the third floor in building two,” Olivia answered immediately. Alyona kept her turmoil aside an
Alyona filled her day with a humble heart and a loving family dinner. Alexander was collecting his self-improvising thoughts. Since morning, he prepared himself to find the best models who could justify his brand ENAMORE and took responsibility for it. It’s all about presentation and reputation for him. When it comes to Enamore, he cannot sustain any apathy. He woke up early and completed his workout to stay energized and fit for the entire day. He took some rest with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. While taking sips, he went through the latest world news. A business person needs to be knowledgeable and updated with what’s happening around him. He scrolled his meeting schedule, and today he needs to work more than he needs to take interviews. After a long and thoughtful shower, he wrapped his body in a fluffy bathrobe and walked toward his gigantic closet. He wore a light-shade shirt with a heavy blazer to show his persona professionally. He racked his curly hair with a
~Alyona~ The following day, I made myself ready and came down for breakfast. “Mom, we need to buy some clothes. I am out of dresses and needed for my office.” I informed mom while eating breakfast. Mom smiled. In between our discussions, we got a call from Cassie. “Good morning, mom,” she screamed from another side. “Good Morning, baby. heading to the office?” Mom replied while taking her last bite. “Yes,” she replied while brushing her teeth. A three-hour difference was enough for Cassie to call and dig everything about us. Most of the time, she used to call in the evening, but today she called in the morning. Strange. My ears were attentive this time; I had a perfect answer to all of her questions. Somehow, I felt she would ask me for my job and lecture me on that. “Mom...” her voice seems different. She started crying; all of my question-answer vanished when I heard her sobbing voice. I snatched the phone from mom’s hand and said, “Why are you crying? Where is Lucas? Did h
~Alyona~ He dragged me from the hallway towards the boardroom; I glanced at Olivia. Without a doubt, she was shivering with fear. I understood I had done something wrong; I was in the boardroom. “What the hell are you doing here?” He roared at me. Is this the way a man should talk to a lady like this? Did I spill the smoothie intentionally? Why is he behaving like that? The way he was pulling my hand hurt me. “I am sorry. It was an accident. I didn’t mean to spill that thing on you.” I lowered my peer. He ignored my petition. “What... are... you .... doing here?” His anger dripped from every expression crossing his eyes, suppressing every syllable coming from his mouth. I backed myself and answered him immediately. “I.. I.” He slammed his palm on the table, making me jump in my place. “I started my job here,” With a pissed-off look, he heaved a heavy breath. “A job? Which department?” He stroked his cheeks with a thumb pad. “Here, I was hired as an assistant.” Without
