CADENCE P.O.V
Today is Thursday, one more day and I will spend my weekend with my kids. Just a few minutes I arrived at my desk my lady boss came in five minutes earlier her usual time. I greeted her as always.
"Good morning Ms. Julie." I said with my precious smile. Yes, she prefers to call her Ms. Julie than boss, ma'am or madam etc.
"Good morning, Cad and come to my office as you settle down first." She replied.
She went inside while I was preparing for her coffee in the mini kitchen that were located at the of my desk with another door. It has everything she needs like refrigerator, stove, everything you can see in the kitchen. It seems like you are living in your own house.
I knocked twice before entering. I did not wait for answer because she already told me before. As long as I knock twice, I just go inside.
I walked inside holding her coffee I made and my notes with me as well. I put down her coffee on the table and she began sipping it. She put down the cup and looked at me.
"Well, Cad as you can see that today is different because my brother will come here to work as a new CEO of this company." She reminded me. "You are still his secretary so I am confident that you can help him with works as you were being helpful for me."
"Okay Ms. Julie, thank you for trusting me." I replied, smiling at her.
"Do not worry you are in good hand and he is harmless." She laughed.
I just laughed too after that I jotted down her instructions about work related. She stopped talking as she looked to the door and I turned around.
My jaw fell open when I see the person walking towards us. Ms. Julie's voice brought me back to my senses.
"About time you show up." She stood up and said, talking to him. "Cad, this is Jaron Davies, your new boss the CEO of this company."
She was telling me while I still looked at him without blinking from shock.
"Jaron, this is Cadence your secretary from now on." Ms. Julie introduced us.
Jaron glanced at me. "Yeah, I know her. Cadence and I were classmates in high school." He said facing her sister without a smile on his face. He matured thru time and he was serious this time.
I moved my eyes away from him and focus to his sister. I was tense.
"Oh, really, well, I guess it will be easier for you now that you knew each other." She smiled; as she sat, back looking at me. "So, Cad, that is all for today since I do not have commitments engage for the day. You can go back to your desk and wait for further instruction while I will talk to Jaron." Ms. Julie's last statements for me.
I nodded without saying anything to Jaron. I closed the door behind me and as I reached my table, my knees were shaking. I sat down afraid that I might fall then my hands were sweating.
'Gosh, this is a joke, of all people, in this company, why him?' I said to myself. 'I already forgot everything about him for years since the last time.'
I am done with fooling my heart for him for the past years after I found out being pregnant again with Cady.
I still go out dating but not seriously, because my priorities are my kids. I was tense now that Jaron is back and I do not have intention to let them know about the kids.
Meeting each other is never in her wildest dream. I already done with him I already move on.
'Are you Cadence?' I told myself. I gave a heavy sighed. I went to the kitchen to make a coffee for myself. I am in a mess right now. I need caffeine.

JARON P.O.V
I was in shock to find out that Cadence is working as an Executive Secretary of my sister. Now, she will be my secretary. I wanted to hug the moment she turned around looking at me. I sorted myself not too because everything has changed.
It has been too long since the last time we seen each other. That was the time of my cousin's wedding day. I never got the chance to call her or went back to see her.
She must be really mad at me up until now. She changed a lot physically she matured but became more beautiful and her body… Wow!
I could not imagine that we are working together in one company. Small world, isn't it?
My sister has been explaining to me everything about the work but my mind was on Cadence.
My sister frown that I was not listening to her. "Jaron…" She shouted my name that I was startled.
"What?" I frowned.
"You are not listening in every word that I said. What is wrong with you?" She asked.
"Oh, just a little bit jetlag, sis. Sorry, what did you say?" I asked as I grinned at her.
She shook her head and glanced at her clock. "Never mind since I know you can handle your work very well. Anyway, let us take our lunch somewhere. I called Dad that we will meet him there. The old man misses you and you have to behave this time." She added.
We walked out in her office and I saw Cadence table was empty. "Oh, maybe Cad was having her lunch now." My sister said.
We headed to Japanese Restaurant and my sister got a reservation already. We reached there just in time my parents arrived. The waiters guided us to a close room for privacy. We were complete as a family. My other brothers came too. They were both in the city. I was glad that I saw us together again. My sister Julie is the only daughter in our family; she is the second member of the family. Our older brother was the one handling the main branch in A City.
The main office that my father ancestors built it long ago. Since my father will not involve in our family business anymore but still monitor every detail that goes to our company.
My second brother was assigned in China and some part of Asia. I was assigned in NY since my sister wanted to swap places with me, I agree knowing she wants to be with her husband together with their children. I did not oppose because family is important to us.
I love my only sister so why so I take away that happiness for the family. We are only four children of my parents and that is why they call me young master.
It seems like we are not discussing about family matters as always business will be the main topics when we were together in this gathering.
