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
Liam's POVAfter the ruckus in the restaurant, I had planned to wait for the Cassandra lady to finish talking to her boss and then call her over to talk. However, as I waited, I got a call from my office telling me that some investors would be visiting the following day so I decided to go to my office to prepare some things that would be useful during the meeting.Since Cassandra wasn't available to talk to yet, I walked out of the restaurant after the call heading to the place where I had told my driver we would be meeting up.Maintaining my reputation as the faceless CEO of Wicker corporation required me to make multiple sacrifices such as a walk and being without my driver at almost every point in time.The driver could easily be spotted by the paparazzi if he was with me and my identity could be traced through that so he always stopped slightly farther away from wherever I intended to be in.It had been years since I became the one in charge of the company but no one except those
Cassandra's POVI stepped out of the restaurant, taking a deep breath of the cool evening air. I had just finished my shift in the restaurant and was glad to be done for the day. I loved getting off work and spending time by myself or with my triplet children.At the thought of the boys, I glanced over at the pram that held my children, all fast asleep after getting breastfed before I came out. I knew that the fact that they slept early would probably mean that they would disturb me at night though.I smiled, feeling a sense of pride and joy at the sight of them. They could wake up at the middle of the night but I wouldn't mind. They were my world, my everything.As I continued to push the pram in order to start the walk home, I heard a voice calling my name."Cassandra!" I heard and turned to see Mr Bradwick walking towards me.How could he still be chasing after me once again after the conversation we had when last we talked? I thought that I had made myself clear that I wouldn't be
