MIRABEL POVAfter that I drifted off to sleep, As I slowly opened my eyes, the bright morning light streaming through the window made me squint. I reached out for my phone to check the time and saw a text from Raymond. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and threw off the blanket, getting out of bed to start my morning routine.First thing I did was, I headed to the bathroom to begin my skin care routine. I washed my face with a gentle cleanser, followed by a toner and moisturizer to keep my skin hydrated and refreshed. After completing my routine, I felt invigorated and ready to take on the day.Next, I took a refreshing bath, letting the warm water soothe my muscles and calm my mind. As I dressed and got ready for the day, I couldn't help but notice that Louis and Victoria were still sound asleep. I decided to leave quietly, not wanting to disturb them.I tiptoed out of the room, making sure not to make a sound as I closed the door behind me. The silence of the morning was peaceful, and
MIRABEL POVJust as Annie left, I felt unease and walked back inside but then Ryan's voice stopped me. “Miss Mirabel… Mr Raymond has been waiting for you”. I gazed at Victoria, but instead she gave a moment expression look. “Arent you going to say hi?” I asked her but instead she gave me no response, I smiled silently and walked into the car.“Good morning Miss Mirabel” Ryan said with a smile“Good morning, thank you” I said my voice firm, trying to start a conversation but I dont know how, we went silent for a while while he kept driving “Ryan…” I suddenly spoke up after minutes of silence.“Ryan, Can I ask you something?” I asked my voice firm and lowHe nodded while driving, “Okay thank you.. the question is, how did you get to get so close to Victoria?” I asked my voice barely above a whisper, he didn't give me a response instead he kept driving.“Ryan…” I called out to him again, but he didn't say anything, I was about to talk when we suddenly arrived at Raymond's mansion, he pa
MIRABEL POVAnd with that News,I picked up my phone and texted Victoria about the great news, she was so happy to hear that.As i smiling while replying to Victoria's text, Mr Raymond dropped his Ipaf and turned to me.“So what do you think we can do about everything Mrs Valencia talked about the other time?” He asked his voice firm and low I stood my ground, trying to reason with him. “Because, Mr. Raymond, those employees have families to feed, bills to pay, and lives to live. They depend on their jobs to survive,they have children's to send to schools, Firing them without a valid reason or warning would be devastating”.Mr Raymond's smile faded, replaced by a hint of annoyance. "Are telling me my decision isn't right Mirabel? You're just my personal assistant and not the CEO, I have been in this line of work for years”.I felt a sting from his words, but I refused to back down. "I may not be a business expert, but I have a heart. And I know that treating employees with respect and
MIRABEL POVI flopped onto my bed, exhausted from the day's events. I picked up my phone and dialed Victoria's number, needing to unwind and talk to someone who understood me, I also want to talk to her regarding tomorrow."Hey!" Victoria screamed, answering on the first ring. I winced, holding the phone away from my ear."Hey,too loud, do you want to destroy my eardrum? And keep it down people might hear you" I said, my voice barely above a whisper.Victoria laughed. "Sorry, sorry! I'm just excited to hear from you. When are you coming home?"I sighed, feeling a pang of homesickness. "I don't know. I'm stuck here until Mr. Raymond decides to let me go.""When should we come over?" Victoria asked, her voice filled with concern.I hesitated, thinking about Nina. "Who's going to babysit Nina? She can't be brought here, and I don't want her alone at home."Victoria's voice turned soft. "Can't we bring her over? She is still a baby, so she needs to be there with us."I shook my head, even
MIRABEL POVThe room remained silent, the tension palpable, as Mr. Raymond's words hung in the air. Mr. Lawson cleared his throat, but before he could speak, Mr. Raymond continued, his voice firm and authoritative, I could sense the atmosphere."Mirabel wouldn't be here with me if she was a spy," he said, his gaze sweeping across the room, daring anyone to disagree. "Or are you saying that,I don't know what I'm doing?"His eyes lingered on each face, challenging them to speak up. The room remained silent, the only sound the quiet hum of the air conditioning.Mr. Raymond's expression turned stern again. "We shouldn't be arguing about who is a spy and who is not. Instead of doing that, we should work together and support one another, just for the growth of this company."He paused, surveying the room once more. "Louis, here, is going to be our fashion designer, and she will create incredible designs for our models. Victoria here will also do their makeup using our products. We also have
MIRABEL POVSlowly Victoria walked towards us “What is wrong with the both of you? Why are you two quiet?” She asked her voice barely above a whisper, I didn't say anything and without a word I dropped the few cutted cloths in my hand and left the room.“Give me a call when you people are done so I can tell Mr Raymond" I said and continued walking.Victoria stood in front of Ryan, confused about what was wrong “So none of you is going to tell me what the problem is right?” She asked her voice barely above a whisper.Victoria's eyes widened, her brow furrowed in concern, as she watched Ryan storm off. She turned to Louis, gesturing discreetly. Louis dropped the fabric she was working with and moved closer to Victoria, her expression curious."What's the matter? You know I have a lot to do, I only have a day left, next tomorrow is the shoot and we have to meet up to Mr Raymond's expection." Louis whispered, her eyes darting around the room to ensure no one was listening.Victoria's voic
Louis's eyes widened in shock as she pushed open the door, her gaze falling upon the naked figures of Ryan and Victoria entwined on the bed. She gasped, her hand instinctively covering her mouth to stifle the sound. Her eyes darted back and forth, ensuring no one was approaching, before she slammed the door shut and stepped back, her mind reeling with the thoughts of what she saw."How could this be happening?" Louis thought to herself, her eyes still fixed on the door as if trying to erase the image she just saw from her mind. Ryan, the private guard of Mr. Raymond, and Victoria, engaging in such a risky and dangerous affair? It was unthinkable!Louis's feet seemed to move of their own accord, her pace quickening as she distanced herself from the scene. Her hands remained clasped over her mouth, as if holding back a scream. She couldn't shake the feeling of betrayal and shock that washed over her.Just as she turned to the corner, Mirabel's voice called out, "Louis, is everything ok
Louis also rushed in with Mirabel trying to stop her not to say anything but Mirabel was beyond that.“What is wrong?” Victoria asked with a warm smile on her face Mirabel was about to speak but then she went silent, if she had opened up that time it would put Louis into trouble, she went silent for some minutes trying to find a lie “Well.. I just wanted to check up on you, I haven't seen you since we finished eating” Mirabel said trying to fake a smile.Louis nodded and smiled “You both rushed in like something bad had happened, you two scared me” Victoria said her voice low and firm.Mirabel nodded and gazed at Victoria “Nothing happened, come out when you are free” she said and walked out leaving Louis behindMirabel's abrupt departure left an unease silence in the room. Louis's eyes remained fixed on Victoria, she gazed at her like she was something else, her expression a mix of anger and disappointment. Victoria, sensing Louis's gaze, turned to face her."Why are you staring at
