Liam's POVShe just rejected my offer? This was interesting.I sat down on the nearest chair, stunned and watched her as she continued working. She got more and more impressive each second that I watched her.No one, and I mean no one, had ever refused my offer to join my company. It wasn't so easy to join my company as the requirements were quite hard for anyone to fulfill and there was also the question of availability of employment spaces."Is it that she doesn't know me?" I frowned as I thought about this possibility.No! She might not know my company because I didn't mention the name but I mentioned my name. She was supposed to know my name or at least have heard it somewhere."Is there anything you would like me to get you, sir?" A waiter's voice drifted into my thoughts and I stared at him blankly for a moment before finally processing what he had said."Red wine please," I muttered and continued thinking about how I could hire that lady.She was so mesmerizing that I did not w
Cassandra's POV"What does he take me for? A fool?" I muttered with disgust as I got into my apartment.I was still pondering over the meeting with that Mr Liam Bradwick outside the restaurant and how he was such a fake. There were probably many people like him out there on the street deceiving lots of innocent people, especially the jobless ones.I was in the process of wearing the children their diapers after bathing them when Mason started laughing out of nowhere. I guess that his laps were becoming a tickly spot for him.I checked Justin's lap too but he didn't budge and stared at me with a blank face. I moved to Robin but he was even worse as he started crying."No, no, no, don't cry," I panicked as I quickly picked him up. "I only wanted to know where your soft spot was," I groaned. "We can't stay up all night like this, come on and don't cry, please!"I ended up spending almost an hour trying to pacify him and when he finally stopped crying, it was because he had fallen asleep.
Cassandra's POV"Aren't you surprised too? He just told me his name and expected me to believe that he was capable of recruiting me into some company that I don't even know," I chuckled."Because he actually is," Sally squealed and I froze for a second trying to process what she had said."What did you just say?" I blurted out confusedly."I said he is capable of recruiting you into a big company. Do you even know the person you met yesterday? This is just a miracle and you don't even realize!" I heard her scream excitedly."It's not like this is the first time other organizations have attempted recruiting me, if it's even truly real. I still wouldn't have accepted his offer even if I had known who he was," I retorted."What?" She exclaimed."The working conditions in that restaurant are the best out of my three jobs and the pay also. Most people who give me offers like that have better pay but hardly have the first condition which is actually the most important thing I consider befor
Cassandra's POV"I hope I get this done quickly and go check up on my children," I sighed as I made my way out of a storehouse.Ever since Doctor Marcus said that I was overdriving my children's senses, I stopped carrying them to every job and only left them in the restaurant all day. It wasn't too much of a change of location."Mrs Savannah, I'm done," I announced to the fat woman before me as I placed a pile of cartons on the floor beside her like she requested.My third job was a manual job in a big factory. All I had to do was carry cartons out of the storehouse to whatever place they ordered me to."Good one, now I need you to bring twenty cartons and place them in that van," she replied and turned away to give instructions to other workers."Mrs Savannah, I'm supposed to be done for the day," I protested.I really respected her a lot and didn't mind bringing twenty cartons more but it would make me get back to my kids even later. I needed to be done quickly so that I could have
Liam's POVIt had been a while since I came to this restaurant to see the Cassandra lady. Work had me terribly occupied and left me with little time to myself, not to mention coming here to scout a new worker.I had come here once or twice after meeting her though only to find out that she wasn't on duty as at when I came. Meeting up with her was already a problem and I was sure getting her to talk to me would be another great challenge that I was going to have to surmount.Today however, once I arrived, I walked to the counter where one of her colleagues sat taking payment for different orders and mixing drinks wanting to confirm if she was available before I would think about how to talk to her."Umm... Hey," I began and he looked up at me."Good day, sir. Would you like a drink?" He replied."Actually no, I was just wondering about... Cassandra, a waitress who works here. Is she around right now?""Oh yes, do you both have any business together?""Not exactly," I muttered and he fr
Cassandra's POV'Oh no!' I thought within myself as the security officers were ordered by that bastard to arrest Mr Bradwick.They obviously recognized the man as someone who was influential and our security officers were very likely to always take the side of whoever had the most social power.Would Mr Bradwick get into trouble for defending me? Oh no, why did he have to intervene in this matter?"No actually, it is all my fault," I shouted and the officers became confused."Yes, it's also her fault, arrest her too!" The man shouted madly and I frowned.That was not going as planned except that the security officers were actually confused. Even if they wanted to be ass-kissers, they still had to handle everything in a way that would not put them in trouble with the boss when he returned."Why don't you arrest me indeed?" I heard Mr Bradwick challenge and at that point, my gratitude turned into annoyance.Why couldn't he just shut up? He had already done enough and we would both be in
Cassandra's POVI was almost dying due to anxiety as I waited for my boss to answer the customer who was determined to ruin my life in one way or the other."My answer is no," My boss suddenly declared and I could see the customer's gloating expression suddenly fade away.The knot in my chest also suddenly loosened on hearing him say that I wouldn't be fired. I was so relieved because I was actually genuinely scared that he would let me go since I had been causing trouble to him."What do you mean by no?""I will not fire a diligent worker just because one customer demanded for it," my boss expatiated."So now I am a customer that doesn't matter enough? Is that what you're saying?""What I am saying is that every single person who walks into this restaurant, both the workers and the customers, each one of them, matters."A few cheers suddenly erupted in the restaurant at my boss's declaration coming mostly from the customers and I was relieved that there were still people with a brain
Cassandra's POVFor a moment, my brain and mouth were placed on pause as Mr Bradwick turned around. Now that I didn't think that he was a scammer and regarded him as a rich customer, it was suddenly difficult to talk to him. Was it because of the impression I had gained about rich people in the restaurant?It wasn't like I was all cozy with him before but I certainly wasn't uneasy around him and considering what I was going to say carefully."I guess you've been told who I am," he voiced out, breaking into my thoughts."Not exactly, but I've been told a little bit," I admitted."So now you want to start acting subserviently with me since you know I'm rich?" He chuckled."Not exactly," I laughed."Seems like it to me," he taunted."Well, it's just that I don't exactly have a good expression about rich people, I don't know if it's a wrong or a right impression but still... It's an impression," I expressed."Well, with the kinds of people that I've seen in the restaurant, I understand wh
