CHAPTER 41

Davina. The welcome party my parents organized for me was a really grand one that even found its way to the internet. Videos were taken. I appeared in all the videos I found on the internet, but I could bet that most of the people that were watching the video couldn't tell that I was the exact one that was being celebrated.I stayed in bed for a while, and it would have stayed that way, if not for something that I had in mind. Which was to pay Alexander a visit and thank him specially for reconciling me with my parents. I rose from the bed to take my bath, and after I was done, I made my way down the stairs. “Good morning, Miss Statsha, I was just about to come call you from your room,” Charlotte, the maid that had led me in yesterday, said to me at the bottom of the stairs, where we almost collided with each other. “Good morning. Call me?” I asked; a questioning expression made its way to my face. “Yes, Mrs. Charez wanted to have breakfast today with you,” she answered. “Oh, t

CHAPTER 42

Davina. “Please, I am looking for the office of Alexander Astor,” I asked a young lady in the lobby who was sitting behind a counter. “Good day, ma'am, do you have an appointment with him?” She asked politely. I do not have an appointment with him, but if I give her a negative response, she would tell me to go back and set an appointment first. I know how this works. Well, if I give her a positive response and she decides to call him to confirm, there is absolutely no way that Alex wouldn't tell her to let me in.“Yes, I do,” I answered without batting an eye. “Ok, use the elevator to move to the tenth floor; it should be easy to locate his office once you get there. Just move to the one straight ahead,” she described, making gestures with her hand.“Thank you,” I made my way to the elevator. There were two elevators I saw when I got there. One of them has the executive tag on it, but the other one has the visitors and other staff members tag on it.I used the latter one.Thank

CHAPTER 43

“So, if I do not give you an answer, you will stay there all day?” Davina said with a questioning tone, a little perplexed. “Maybe, do you want to give it a try?” Alexander asked and leaned against the doorframe, folding his arms on his chest. He didn’t even need to give a response; the vibe he was emanating and the expression on his face were enough answers on their own. “No, I do not. What about the visitor you have in your office?” Davina questioned stubbornly. Abigail, the sole spectator, just kept moving her gaze from whoever spoke last to whoever was speaking at the moment. “She’s a friend and one that you might know of; just stop being stubborn and come inside,” he said and cocked his head inside his office. Davina let out a sigh; there was no use arguing and going back and forth on whether she was going to enter into the office or not.“The Alex I knew was never stubborn,” Davina muttered under her breath and slowly rose to her feet. “Stubborn?” A rich chuckle escaped h

CHAPTER 44

Davina. “I hope you don't mind me asking you a question,” Rocky said, adjusting her sitting position for the second time today already, or was it the third time?I can't really tell; I haven't been paying attention to the things she did. “Sure, you can,” I answered with a nod of my head. “I know you just got reconciled with him and the chances are low, but are you in any special relationship with him?” She questioned with a voice loud enough for only the both of us to hear it, cocking her head in Alexander's direction. That's weirdly kind of funny. Why was she asking? Is there something between them that I am missing? There is no way I can tell; after all, this is my first time seeing her together with him, and I don't follow up on things that have to do with the entertainment department. I was tempted to tilt my head to look at him, but that would have been so awkward and might be uncomfortable if Alex caught my gaze. It was awkward enough that we were speaking in voices onl

CHAPTER 45

Davina“What did you say to her to make her leave like that?” Alex questioned, finally raising his head away from whatever it was that had his attention all this while. I turned my gaze to stare at him and shrugged my shoulders without giving him an answer. “Come on, you need to tell me, Davina,” he said, closing off the document he was going through and paying me rapt attention. “I don't think I need to tell you,” I answered, my eyebrows pinched together in a slight frown. “It's ladies talk,” I added in an attempt to get him off the topic. “Well, this ladies talk involves me, so you can't expect me to just stay on the sidelines concerning this,” he replied, placed his elbows on the table, and leaned forward, looking at me with expectancy in his eyes. “What made you think that the ladies talk I had with Rocky involves you?” I questioned, tipping my head slightly to the side. I adjusted my sitting position so that I was facing him while my right hand rested on the headrest of the

CHAPTER 46

Davina. After seeing the stuff on the news, I was so lost in thought that I had no idea how the day ended up. I barely paid attention to anything else or even took notice of anything specific worth taking note of. The next day arrived pretty fast; the hours sped past, and here I am. Sitting in a board meeting room with my father and two other people, I pushed off the stuff that had occupied my mind the rest of the previous day. “Good day, Mr. Steven,” my father said to the elderly man sitting across from us. “Good day to you also, Mr. Charez,” the man replied with a tight-lipped smile; his tone contained more respect in it than my dad’s tone did. The younger man sitting beside Steven, whom I guess to be the personal assistant of the elderly man, bowed his head and greeted, “Good day Mr. Charez.” My dad replied with a nod of his head. They both turned to look at me; I smiled and said to the elderly man, “Good day, Mr. Steven.”“Good day to you, pretty lady,” the man said with

CHAPTER 47

Watching his daughter, whom he had just reconciled with, negotiate the deal in such a way that exceeded his expectations, Mr. William Charez couldn't help but smile widely. His skin curved at the edge of his eyes due to how wide his smile was. Sure, Davina had told him she was a managing director at a certain company, which he had checked out afterwards.He expected her to have an experience, sure, but the enterprise she had been working in was nothing compared to the companies he negotiated with most of the time. “I am sorry, we can't also agree on the deal that you are proposing to us; it is of a profit so little that I am tempted to call it insignificant,” Mr. Steven’s son, Jones, said with a firm tone. Davina took her time, deep in her thoughts for a bit. She didn't take long to respond, though. “Then we can compromise a bit. How about we increase the time by three months more and increase the amount by ten percent?” Davina said to Jones. Her tone came out more as absolute t

CHAPTER 48

Davina.“I don't feel like it's a good deal, though, just a decent one,” I said to him, slipping the files back into the folder.“Why do you say so?” My dad said and sat back on the chair closest to him; the chair was positioned to face me.He placed his elbow on the table, with his face resting on his palm, while keeping his gaze on me. “I'm curious to hear your point,” he added.“I could have minimized the cost and found a way to get the deal to be completed at the actual time that we wanted, not postponed a little more,” I explained to him, making gestures with my hands. “No,” my father shook his head slowly, “you're quite wrong,” he replied. “Why do you say so?” I questioned and sat back on the chair closest to me, willing to hear what my errors were. “The deal is quite better as it is; the only way that Steven kid would have agreed to the initial amount and deadline set if he has sense would be to reduce the quality of products that are going to be used,” he answered. “So yo

CHAPTER 49

DavinaThe silence of sitting in the study room of this building slowly enveloped me. The screen of my phone dimmed as I set it down on the desk, but the words were already burned into my mind. It wasn't just now that it burned into my mind, it had been there for quite a while, ever since the first day that I laid my eyes on the news.“Campbell Enterprises Faces Financial Crisis—Potential Bankruptcy Looms”I should have felt relieved. I should have been satisfied. But instead I felt nothing. Or maybe I did feel something. A dull ache shot deep in my chest. A strange, heavy weight that refused to lift. For years, I had poured my soul into that company. I had walked into those glass doors every day, working harder than anyone else—earning my place, proving my worth. And yet, when the time came, they had thrown me out without hesitation. I curled my fingers into fists, my nails pressing into my palms. This wasn't my loss, nor was it my failure. I shouldn't feel guilt or anything

CHAPTER 50

Davina A few days went by and I threw myself into work. Or at least, that was what I told myself. I couldn't go to the office as I haven't been introduced officially yet, only a few family friends knew of my existence which gives me the chance to stay all locked up in the study. I needed to forget about my past and the only way I could do that was actively engage in activities. Even though it seems, the harder I tried, the harder the memories pushed to be remembered. I squeezed my eyes shut, my grip tightening around the leather-bound planner in my hands.Enough.Work. Work would keep me sane.For three days straight, I had avoided everyone.Every afternoon, Alexander would knock on the study door, inviting me to lunch.And every afternoon, I’d decline.I barely ate with my family, instead requesting for my meals to be brought to the study. I convinced myself it was easier this way. No questions, no worried glances, no pressure.But on the fourth day, as I was about to step into
