Who's that Goddess

Alex popped the bottle of bubbly and filled his new business associates glasses. It only took forty minutes to have another victory under his belt.

“Congratulations, Alexander, were going global, bro.” Patrick uttered excited. He and his best friend have been working on expanding Forester Oils Co. for the past five years. Being the business´ head financial controller he couldn’t have chosen a better man for the job. His advice really boosted the company’s finances.

“Yes we are, Pat, it’s the dawn of a new age.” He replied hugging the man as they tossed to their success.

“Your father will be so proud of you.” Patrick said rubbing his head as if they were still in kindergarten.

“If I know my father well he’s probably too distracted where ever he is to care about the company’s advancement.” he smirked resentfully at the very mention of the man.

After the light celebrating was over both men escorted their new investors downstairs to see them off. When they exited the elevator across the aisle he noticed a familiar feminine face. It was her again walking to the main doors with practically an army of businessmen swarmed around her. He recognized one of them as his employee, Derek his Marketing’s Manager. The rest were the foreign infomercial contractors the firm was seeking. HER, who the hell was she goddamn it? His anonymous lady as he came to know her as disappeared with the band of men following behind her. Well who could argue with them look at her. He reinforced the images in his mind of the wavy hair, smooth flawless skin and those legs…

His throbbing body was far more lethal than before. Unfortunately when he had entered his office everyone was already present so he had to excuse himself to the bathroom to shake it off and tame his illicit libido.

This lady he didn’t even cordially meet stirred a deep sexual inside him. Ever since he stated this new business venture he had been putting off dating and the late night calls to his eager casual sex participants. This unknown woman lurking in the abyss brought out a sexual prowess he forgot he processed. Apart from being the audacious attractive woman that burst into his usual boundary of solitary, he hadn’t the slightest clue as to who she was. I’ll find out about the mystery-elevator-goddess later.


“Thank you again, Miss Castello”

“They don’t call me, one of the best in the biz for nothing, Derek,” she responded as they waved farewell to the Russian gentlemen as they drove off.

“Get a taxi for you?”

“Please,” she couldn’t wait to get home and soak in a nice warm bathe. The chilly New York spring breeze made her shiver cuddling herself in her coat until a taxi stopped next to her.

“Thanks, Derek. Do be sure to contact me if you need me again.”

“Certainly, you’re practically a lucky charm. Enjoy the rest of your day.”

She shook hands with him then went inside the taxi.

After she arrived at her condo she quickly kicked off her heels. It's hard to believe she almost lost her balance with them this morning while she was rushing to catch that damn elevator. Should've flipped that posh-looking jerk the bird. In the bathroom she left the hot water to fill the tub for a nice bubble bath. Heading into the living room he unbuttoned her jacket and took a Pinot Noir bottle from the wine tray. Serving herself a glass she found a card in her pocket that belonged to the leader of the Russian pack. The flirtatious millionaire was kind enough to leave her his business card.

Though she was growing tired of the rich big shot types, she slip it into her purse for consideration later. The sweet serenity of a warm bubble bathe was all she needed at the moment to unload from another work-filled day.


“It’ll be for at least, nine months.”

Alex told his dear mother over the cellphone.

Before embark on a series of business trips around the globe, he first had to inform and get the blessing of the only lady in his life. He couldn't be more ready for negotiations with different potential investors about establishing multiple branches of Forester Oils Co. in their respective countries.

“Nine long months,” she added. “When will you leave, sweetie?” She asked hoarsely.

“Next week, mother, I’ll miss you so much, did you get the flowers and chocolate I sent?”

“I did, they’re delicious too.” It pained him dearly to hear the asthmatic sound in her voice.

“I know you like Bonbons. Be sure to follow the doctor’s orders and eat healthy on a daily basis, okay.”

“I always do, Alex, call me anytime you get the chance while you’re away.”

“Of course, I will always check on you, mother.”

“Alright, I have to go now, honey, the nurse says it’s time for my soup.”

“Goodnight and you take care.” He said hanging up.

It was ten in the night not very late compared to his frequent occasions of burning the midnight oil spent by assessing various international projects for the firm. Despite, being occupied with business Alex always had the time to check up on Lily. He had been an only child had no sisters and Patrick was the closest thing to a brother for him. Although she had hoped he would settle down and bless her with fat cheeked grandchildren by now, but he had his own ambitions to strife for at the age of thirty. Perhaps he inherited this trait from his father, much as it sickens him to be compared the swine. Unlike him he cared for the woman that gave him birth. His father saw her a means of providing an heir which was expected of a high society wife. This Lily Forester had endure throughout a loveless marriage.

He decided to drown out his thoughts with a neat scotch and retire to his personal home office. While browsing through some spreadsheets on his desktop, his iPhone sounded off, immediately he answered the private incoming call.

“Yes Josh, do you have the information I asked for?”

“Always do sir, would you like me to fax it to you now?” The man on the other line asked.

“Sure, go ahead, I’ll let you know if I need anything else.”

Upon completing his current task Alex slid his chair over to the fax machine and skimmed through the printed papers send to him. Josh Stern, was one of best private detective he had been involved in exposing many scandals of many well known executives and some of the most influential commercial persons. He used to work for his father and eventually for him ever since the business was handed to him. Stern dealt with many business as well as personal affairs for him in the past including looking into his former steady girlfriends before he would decide to date them.

“So, this is who you are, huh.” His mystery woman was revealed to him. Gina Gabriella Castello, twenty-five years old, born in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, attended Yale University and is a professional and highly ranked Interpreter/Translator at Lengua Agency. She notably extremely fluent in twelve different languages has been hired and credited by some the most recognized companies among Forester Oils. It all made sense she wasn’t use to the building and was walking along side the Russian contractors. Her portfolio was quite impressive he had to admit she has a promising career. Then instantly in the back of his mind Alex pondered how perfectly qualified she would be for a job alongside him during his numerous business trips. His people would take care of the means of lingual assistances but would be more convenient to hire one set person fully capable to assist with all the different language barriers.

Thinking about the proposition even further it was going to be nine whole months. Nine months of her company there and so many occasions to charm her a little until she ended up in bed with him. Picturing her once more he decided to follow through with the ingenious idea. He speed-dialed his secretary but received voicemail.

“Night, Jude. Sorry to inconvenience you so late. I want you to contact Mr. Jones from the marketing department tomorrow. Inform him to send me the portfolio of the Translator he hired for the Russian advertising deal on Friday. Okay, thanks.” He recorded the voice message for her.
