Все главы Enchanting the Billionaire's Cold Heart : Глава 21 - Глава 30

Danielle screamed. The sound made Claire jump, but she joined in on the screaming. Soon, they were both screaming and jumping up and down like little children that had just been given too much sugar.The act reminded Claire of Myla. She stopped jumping."Do you think Myla's been accepted?"Danielle stopped screaming too. "That's true. Oh dear, you should call her."Claire's phone buzzed with a text. "It's her! She's in, she's in!"And so began another screaming match. "I'm so happy for you Claire.""I'm so happy too!" Claire cried. "I waited and waited. I nearly lost my mind.""I still can't believe this."Claire rolled her eyes. "You're the one who expressed so much confidence in my ability." She turned back to the email. "Should I read it to you?""Pleaseeeee."Claire laughed. "Easy, D. I can literally see your tail wagging." She opened the mail and began reading.Dear Miss McLennie,With reference to your application to work at our company, this letter is to inform you of your appo

"Your father wants to see you, Axel."Axel looked up from the file he was holding. He had finally managed to get a lot of pending work done, and he was confident he would catch up with work tomorrow. He shut the file and rose. As he was leaving the office, he unhung his jacket from his office closet and grabbed a bottle of wine. When Donald raised a brow, he shrugged."Peace offering."Donald chuckled. "Are you expecting war?""Think carefully," Axel stopped in front of Donald. "When was the last time the Chairman asked to see me without a reason?"Donald rounded his lips. "Oh. You think this is about the appointment letters?" He froze, then facepalmed. "Lisa.""As childish as it sounds, that is actually one of the most effective methods to get under my skin." He passed the wine to Donald. "And get under my skin she has."Donald slapped his back. "It's Lisa. Get used to it."Axel rolled his eyes. "She should get a job. It might keep her busy and stop her from doing crazy things."Whe

Lisa had not yet fully recovered from the embarrassment of the previous night. She had left the office to tell on Axel to his parents, hoping his father will stand against the thought of him having a Personal Assistant besides her. It was a very childish thing to do, and the consequences had not been worth the risk.She had not only been burned, she had left a very bad impression with the Chairman. All she could hope for now was Axel to come to his senses. She had watched from her friend's beauty salon, which overlooked the parking lot of Lyn Corporation, as Claire entered with Myla and Donald.Everyone seemed to like her. The thought made Lisa bitter. There was nothing so special about her. After all, she was one of New York's leading beauties. She could turn heads in a crowd, but so far she had only managed to turn all the wrong ones. She needed a plan, and fast.Her phone rang, and one of the staff there passed it to her."My nails are not yet dry," she yelled at her. "How do you e

Lisa stood by the hanger, trying to squelch her anxiety at the thought of facing Axel. She couldn't help it. Hearing that the file she had given up so much for was actually a fake had sent her teetering off the edge. On getting to the office and seeing Claire there after all her efforts to stop her, she just lost it.Lisa knew the only reason she still had her limbs intact was because she and Axel go way back. By now, his anger would have wiped her off the surface of the earth. Her hands began trembling when his car pulled up beside the private jet.Axel stepped out and halted when he saw her. His lips turned south."Hey." She called tentatively. He didn't smile. "Lisa. You have proven to be quite an inconvenience lately." She hung her head. "I'm so sorry, Ax. It's just been a tough time for me lately." She shot her head up and grabbed his hands. "One more chance. That's all I'm asking for. Please. Just give me one last chance."Axel gave her a long look. "One last chance?"She nodd

Lisa whistled as she drove all the way to work. She felt as if Christmas had come early, because she had a lot planned for Claire and she couldn't wait to dish out the treatment. She left for the office super early, about the time she usually woke up. She was pumped for the day and in very high spirits.When she arrived, she was surprised to see everyone already at their work stations. When did they all wake up? It was barely 9 am. She never got out of bed until sometime after 10 am. She would have to do better from today.Claire was already seated behind her desk, sorting through the mail. Lisa had to admit, she was a quick study. She had even gotten a hang of their filing system, as was obvious by the way she put everything in their place."Hey!" She yelled as soon as she was behind her and Claire jumped. "You should have been done with sorting mail by now!"Claire gave her a look but said nothing. Lisa desperately wanted to get a rise out of her, so she would have something to say
