CADENCE P.O.V
Last day of work for this week and I am looking forward for my weekend with my kids.
However, I have to survive for this day before looking forward for tomorrow. I sighed as I looked at my kids eating their breakfast.
Jaxon is look alike to his father while Cady is a little me but much Davies blood on it. It cannot deny that they are one of their bloodlines.
I keep some picture of Jaron and I took during our high school graduation. I keep telling them who their father is. I do not want them to feel that they do not have a father at least they know them even just a photo.
I am not that kind of person that telling them bad about their father because what we had well, for me it was love when I made them. I do not want to elaborate Jaron side because we were not in romantic relationship at that time. We were just hooking up and I am one of the women he has been hooking.
I am thankful that my kids growing up well mannered, kind, soft hearted and understanding. When they asked where is their dad. I just made some believable reason that their father is working overseas that need to save for their future.
They understand a little for now because they are still young. But when they reach older, I do not know what else I should tell them.
After eating breakfast and cleaning them. I send them to their school as always and their nanny will bring them back home.
Driving to the company my body is trembling knowing that today is the announcement of Jaron. The new CEO of JD Global in B City. I have to calm myself every now and then because we will be seeing each other every day. 8 hours a day, and 5 days a week.
I parked my car in the basement area I got a privilege of being an Executive Secretary of the CEO. Not all employees allowed to park in the basement only higher position.
Ordinary employees can park their vehicles in front of the building. There are some space areas outside the building but still in the company premises.
My slot was near the CEO reserved area. I quickly jumped out to my car then use the executive elevator up to my designated floor.
I tapped my shoes on the elevator floor knowing that I am tense.
'Calm Cadence, Calm' I keep on saying in my mind.
I reached my floor then proceed to the restroom first; I looked at my appearance in front of the mirror. I pull out my face powder apply it on my face. Retouched my lipstick then spray a little cologne all over me.
Checking everything to myself then I went out to the restroom walked towards my table.
I placed my bag inside my drawer and put my phone inside my blazer pocket. I am wearing black above the knee pencil skirt and red silk blouse then black blazer.
I went inside Ms. Julie office to open up her window blinds, turn on the air con and arrange or check her desk. That is one of my morning routines when I arrived at the office.
No one allowed going inside even the cleaning staff. I am the one who will do the things inside for confidential purposes. They can clean the office if I am with the cleaning crew or the boss is in.
I finished everything when the door opened. Jaron was coming in and I greeted him. "Good morning sir." I said acting as if we were just boss/secretary relationship.
"Good morning, Cadence." He replied then I bowed to go back to my desk. Before I walked towards the door, he called me. "Cadence…"
I turned around calmly. "Yes sir, do you need anything." I asked.
He was about to say something when the door opened and Ms. Julie walks in. I am glad it happens. I know what he is thinking.
I controlled myself when Jaron came out from the office and stood there looking at me. I felt conscious it seems he was observing every move I make. I could not take it anymore and asked him.
"Sir, d-do you need anything?" I shuttered.
"No, I do not need anything." He replied. "I just want to talk." He added.
I know what he means about the talking between us. I am not stupid and I have the brain for Pete's sake but I acted innocent.
I do not want to talk about us about what happened those past years. There is nothing to talk about because I might end up hurting again. Gosh, I do not think he can slide this topic on Monday I am sure he will do something about when we are alone.
I relaxed when he did not pursue but I can sense trouble on the way. He did not bother to talk to me again about us.
I focused on my work after that. Since I have so many things to do. During lunch, I was about to call Donna to join me for lunch outside the company. Afraid to encounter again with Jaron.
However, Ms. Julie insisted me to join them since today is her last day in the company. She wants me to have lunch together.
Jaron was driving the car and I was at the passenger's seat. Ms. Julie was at the back. We dine in at the Chinese cuisine for lunch that I also love it. They ordered and I let them choose whatever they like because I am not meticulous.
Our orders came with lots of it and I was overwhelmed with the smells. I was drooling over it. It was mouthwatering, my stomach growls.
Jaron laughed silently as he heard it and I rolled my eyes on him. It shocked me when he put sesame balls in my plate. I glanced at Ms. Julie she did not see what her brother has been doing. Or she just pretends to ignore, whatever!
I frown uneasily but Jaron still handed me the fried rice and other foods they order. I ignored it then starts eating.
Jaron and Ms. Julie continue discussing about the company I just listened and busy eating.
We finished our lunch with full tummy. Ms. Julie hugged me tight. "I am going to miss you Cad. You were such an angel to me and ease my work. Keep in touch, will you?" She spoke. "I will not be going back to the company now so you and Jaron will return and I will see you around okay." And embarrassed me again.
The driver was already in front of the restaurant to pick her up. And we, Jaron and I were alone in the car. It was silent, we seated awkwardly he did not start the engine.
I zipped my mouth I do not want to be the first to draw the conversation. He turned to my side and faced me.
"Princess, we need to talk." He said and I turned my head to look at him.
I sighed I know we should talk since he is my boss and we will be seeing each other every day starting this Monday.
"Okay, talk and I am listening." I said calmly.
