Chapter One
"Sir." Mrs. called Ganley was the man sitting on the big silver swivel chair, his back to us and looking out through a big glass wall that could see almost the whole of Baguio.
The FRNR building is located on the highest part of downtown, where you can see the famous sights here, such at Park, Rose Garden, the City hall, the famous church, you can also see the mountains in the far part of the city.
I was restless and nervous when my boss and I first confronted each other. I tried to search on the internet what the CEO of Smith House looks like, but the only thing that appears in the results is Jonathan Freniere, who is from the second generation of CEOs of FRNR. It was mentioned to me by Ms. Donna is said to be my third generation boss, and she doesn't want any information about her to be published to the public.
The swivel chair slowly turned until I could finally see his face. I swallowed one after another and I could feel my throat being dry when our eyes met. If I hadn't been standing near one of the visitor chairs in front of his executive table, I probably would have fallen off my feet. Because my legs feel like jelly ace at these times. Good heavens.
My heart is beating so fast, I feel like it's going to pop out of my chest! At the same time as my soul left my earthly body, I was still wondering if it was because of my dream about him earlier that I looked around and saw him in front of me, but there was no emotion looking at me.
So, does that mean I'm not dreaming? Suddenly my stomach felt constipated. I can no longer rest where I am. do i want to leave I do not know. My feelings are mixed now and I can no longer focus on what is happening around me.
"Sadie, are you listening?" I was lost in my deep thoughts when I heard the shrill and grumpy voice of Mrs. Ganley.
I panicked so much, I nodded one after another even though I didn't understand a single word of what he said.
I don't know if Mrs. Ganley to him or not! How come he didn't react at all, he just kept his poker face on while staring at me. Mrs. Ganley scolded me again. He was saying something to the man in front of me but I couldn't understand because I was still confused about what was happening now.
"Sadie, what else are you fooling around with?! I have some things to teach you outside!" yelled Mrs. Ganley to me. Did he say goodbye that we are going out? My eyes shifted as Mrs. walked out. Ganley and Kayden when Mrs. called me again. Ganley, so I was completely out of his office.
Actually, yesterday was the last day of Mrs. Ganley, he just worked overtime today for my first day at work. He said he wants to make sure that what I do is right, he said that Just is too strict because he is my boss.
I just wiped my invisible sweat from my forehead when it was lunch time and Mrs. Ganley in the cafeteria.
It's good and he is the one who said goodbye to.. boss that we are going to lunch. Ugh! The reason is that I didn't know that Justin Smith-Montemayor is a relative of the owner of the FRNR office and what's worse, he is the CEO of the company, in short, my boss!
If I could just back out, I really would, because I have already signed a six-month contract with FRNR office Corporation and if I don't finish the contract, I have to pay the company for those lost months. Sigh.
So I have no choice but to endure and I should now figure out how to live with Kayden. Of course, first of all, my dealings with him must be civil. You should train yourself to call him Sir, or much better if it's just 'boss'.
The day ended with only me and Mrs. Ganley, he repeatedly taught me what to do first thing in the morning, until it was lunch and it turned out that Kayden's secretary was the one who bought him lunch.
Why doesn't he come out when it's lunch time to eat, so Mrs. Ganley often volunteers to buy or deliver food for him.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Ganley gave Justin a snack, as well as dinner, which I was wondering about. I didn't want to ask why even dinner and I would have just answered with a nod, because my curiosity was eating me up, so I just asked.
"Mr. Freniere often works overtime, Sadie. It's often 11 PM to 1 AM when he comes home because of the amount of documents he needs to read and sign.
Don't want to let Mr. Freniere read the papers to me. He is too hands-on with the business proposals of their clients so that his father can impress him."
The truth is, I don't really know anything about Justin, apart from his full name which I forgot. Because they told you, sometimes stupidity is real. Hi. Is it right for me to forget his full name? By the way, why would I remember the name of the man who left me in the air, right?
And how old is he and what course did he take when we were in college, that's all I know about him. I don't know his parents, so I didn't even feel surprised to see if they looked a bit like , but Jonathan Freniere at I was thinking was because at that time, there are so many people in the world who look alike, well, they are related .
When it was past 5 PM, Mrs. allowed me to leave. Freniere, but he told me that before I left, I should say goodbye to Boss. My hands immediately got cold and I couldn't rest anymore. I don't know how to tell him goodbye.
"Sadie, what else are you doing? Go in and say goodbye to him," Mrs. Ganley. He seemed to notice that I was just standing here in front of Kayden's office door. I bit my lower lip and was about to answer when the door suddenly opened.
Mrs. stood up from her seat. Ganley while looking at the man in front of me now. I could smell his masculine perfume and I really had to look up to see his face.
"Sir–" Mrs. could not continue. Thompson, the one he will say when he speaks is Justin.
Then I'll practice calling him Boss, I'm still in a state of shock until now, and then I only call him Justin in my mind. I just snorted at the thought.
"Are you going home?" His English is cold and stiff. Aye. Maybe Mrs. He is asking Ganley because he is probably out at five PM like me. But a few minutes have passed and I still haven't heard an answer from Mrs. Ganley.
That's why I turned to him and that's how I was surprised to see if he was looking at me. Is it mine or Kayden's? That's why to make sure I looked at Kayden and I was surprised when I saw that he was also looking at me.
Immediately my heart beat faster, my legs felt like jelly again and I couldn't rest anymore.
The butterflies in my stomach, which I've been feeling ever since I heard his voice again.
"Uhh... are you asking me?" I asked him. He raised an eyebrow at me and then looked at my whole body.
My bag was already hanging on my shoulder and I was obviously ready to go home.
I thought he was going to scold me because why should I go home earlier, he is my boss, but my eyes widened and shocked when he grabbed my right hand and pulled me out of the room without saying a word. office.
