JARON P.O.V
We did not go back to the company after the family gathering that took the whole afternoon. My sister Julie reminds me to be early tomorrow morning. For the important meeting with the employees and the turnover of the CEO position.
I nodded and walking to the exit door as my driver picked me up in front of the restaurant.
"Let's go straight home." I told my driver as soon as Fred opened the door for me.
I sat down at the backseat. Fred remains at the presence of my parents. He is the right hand of my father since I could remember.
I was lying in my bed ready to take a rest but I could not sleep. I was holding my phone scrolling my gallery photos of Cadence. I have a lot of photos taken of her and me when we were in high school.
How could I miss that selfie thing? I even had some photos of her without her knowing. Some stolen shots when she was sleeping, doing something etc.
I did not delete because I keep on missing her through the years. She is someone special to my heart. The one who captures my entire being. During the first time I set my eyes on her up until now. I do not know how to start but already ended.
My life is a little bit complicated now that I cannot seem have the ability to control. I do not know if she is still single or taken or married. I sighed and looked at the clock. It is time for me to take some sleep for tomorrow's event.
My alarm woke me up for another day morning ahead. I got up and do my morning session. I headed downstairs after I have done to myself.
I am wearing my dark gray suit for work as I approached the dining area. Breakfast has been prepared with my servants I cannot do anything if I miss my breakfast that is my rule.
My driver drove me to the company early as what my sister said last night. I did not go to the 14th floor but straight to the last floor.
Every branch in our company there is always the last floor that no employees allowed to go up because my father built that floor like a home. It has rooftop with helipad on it, a pool and a garden. It is livable with four bedrooms, kitchen, dining area, living room area, etc.
My sister never uses this because she does not like the idea of her living with her children. She said it is good for us brothers if we are not yet married. I am the last one in the family still single so maybe I will be living here and there kind of arrangement.
My phone vibrates in my pocket and saw my sister is calling I pushed answer.
"Hi sister," I said.
"Where are you? I told you to come here early because I will be announcing you the new CEO so that the employees here will know who you are." She said in slight angry voice on the other line.
"Relax sis, I am here on the last floor. Besides, it is still early, it is not yet 9am." I replied.
"Ah, okay, sorry I thought you are still at the house." She apologized.
I saw Cadence as I walked inside the office, she was arranging the table.
She looked up and greeted me. "Good morning, sir!" She said as I am just her boss. Well, I am actually her boss but it was so distant feeling.
"Good morning!" I greeted her back.
She bowed unto me without saying more words and walks out but I called her. She stopped walking and turns around then asked. "Do you need something, Sir?"
I wanted to talk to her about us but before I could say a word. The door opened and my sister appears.
"Good morning, Ms. Julie." I heard her say.
"Good morning, Cad!" My sister replied then faced me.
"Great that you are here and we got a few minutes before meeting the all employees." She said then faced Cadence. "Cad, tell them to proceed to the Auditorium now."
"Okay, Ms. Julie." She replied then disappears in my eyes.
"Why did you go to the 15th floor? Are you planning to use that?" She asked.
"I was thinking about it since I am the one will run this company. Either I will stay there or stay in my house. Maybe both if I am exhausted to go home." I replied.
"Well, it is up to you since I was not fond of using that place and I think you should be living there from time to time. I keep it clean so that if you wish to live there." She informed me. Her phone rang and she answered. "Okay Cad, we will be on our way."
"What?" I asked.
"Cad called to inform that they are already there at the Auditorium waiting for us." She said as she got up. "Let's go."
We arrived at the Auditorium; Cadence is outside the door waiting for us. Many employees seated facing the stage as we stepped inside. It was not all of them but some higher positions.
We walked forward and Cadence was behind me. We climbed up the stage but she remains behind the stage.
My sister Julie standing in front of the employees holding a microphone in her hands. She greeted everyone and talked about the company while me I was still standing behind her.
Until my name has been called and introduced me to all the employee of JD Global B City branch as the new CEO.
I gave my speech to all of them. About the company and about me being their new CEO. It did not talk long and I ended my speech. Around of applauses they gave to me and saw their smiling face.
We went out first to the Auditorium and went back to the office. It is not my time yet today to replace my sister. So, she continued her work while I went outside to Cadence.
I watched her work and she was conscious while me looking at her. She did not take it anymore so she asked.
"Sir, D-do you need anything?" She asked.
"No, I do not need anything." I replied. "I just want to talk." I said staring at her.
She just stared at me wondering. "About what?" She asked.
"About us?" I said with blinking.
"About what…?" Her eyebrows were joining together as I say.
"Oh, come on Cadence. You know what I mean." I smiled.
"Well, sir I do not know what you mean about us. As far as I know I am you're soon to be secretary." She emphasized. "And you are soon to be my boss starting on Monday that is all I know about us."
I did not argue with her since my sister is on the other door. I will slide down about the things with Cadence. I settle our differences on Monday as her boss.
