"She is really good at her job. Instant promotion is certain for her after this interview," Lily who disliked the questions the reporter asked her boss thought glancing daggers at Miss Grace. She really dislikes her for not sticking with the scripts she gave her.
"Yes, it has been seven long tedious years. You are right to say my taste has changed tremendously. Back then I believe I was just a child. I didn't see much of the world and now that I have, I can proudly tell everyone what my ideal type of man is," Stephanie paused.
"I particularly like tall guys maybe because I have a handsome tall brother. It's Ok if they are rich and it's is perfect with me if they are not because I believe all the wealth I have accumulated is enough to see us through this lifetime. I am sorry it looks like I am bluffing. I am just being honest," Stephanie said sincerely. No words she said was a lie. She meant every bit of it.
"You are not bluffing, so you can go on," Miss Grace assured her.
"I would fall so madly in love with him if he knows how to cook but it's Ok if he doesn't because I am an excellent cook," Stephanie said acting so innocent. Everyone watching the show burst out laughing when they saw her innocent expression.
"Let me tell you a secret, if you have a crush on me and you possess other traits I have just mentioned but you are the rude, pompous, and disrespectful type. I won't tell you a lie. You don't stand a chance with me because those are the three things I hate in my prospective man," Stephanie concluded.
"All in all I love you guys so much," Stephanie added. A guy in his office watching the show on his computer smiled happily hearing all that Stephanie has said. Her words assured him that he really stood a chance with her.
"That was a splendid conclusion. I have enjoyed your company so far and so has our viewers. Thank you much for your time. I wish you success on your launching," Miss Grace concluded shaking Stephanie's hands as they stood on their feet. Miss Grace concluded the interview and folded it up.
"Wow! You were great. Thank goodness I didn't agree to do the interview when you told me to do so since I was the owner of the company. You did excellently well. I am sure I would have messed up big time if I had climbed the stage in your place," Gabrielle praised when Stephanie climbed down the stage.
"I am sure you would have done perfectly well too. You are just exaggerating everything," Stephanie said playfully.
"Welcome, Miss Adams," Lily greeted politely.
"Hey, Lily. It's nice to see you again and I have told you countless times that it is Gabrielle, not Miss Adams, or haven't I?" Gabrielle asked holding onto Stephanie's hands.
"You have said so but I think it is disrespectful of me to call you by your name. You are the owner of our company so it is only right that I accord you with the respect you deserve," Lily explained politely. Stephanie smiled when she heard Lily's reply. She has heard that too often so she was not surprised.
"Are you saying you will continue defiling me?" Gabrielle asked in disbelief. She could not believe how brave Lily was.
"Gab, leave Lily alone. She is just like that. I have also told her several times not to call me Miss Woods but she wouldn't listen so I have given up on her so I will suggest you do the same," Stephanie said smiling.
"Have you gone to all different departments in the Company?" Stephanie asked dragging her away. Lily followed closely.
Yes, I have done that. I didn't catch them unawares today I guess you must have informed them about my arrival?" Gabrielle asked staring at her suspiciously.
"Yes, Lily always suffers whenever you show up unawares after you leave so I decided to save her from other employees today. I am happy they won't attack her today after you leave," Stephanie said. It was when she turned around that she realised that Lily was following them.
"Lily, go back and wrap up everything there. Take a little rest after you have completed your task. I will call you when I need you," Stephanie turned to face Lily.
"I will do just that. Thank you, Miss Woods," Lily said before she turned and walked back to the show room.
"Here we go again with Miss Wood," Stephanie muttered.
"She is so respectful and hard-working. I guess that is one of the reasons she lasts for a long time unlike your previous personal assistants," Gabrielle exclaimed as they continued with their walk.
Gabrielle Adams, a very beautiful lady from the wealthiest family in City S and beyond. Despite her family's wealth and influence, everyone knew her for her good behavior. She was one of her kind. She was the only socialite who did not discriminate or look down on people from the lower class. She is very pleasant but she can be very mean when provoked. She is the President of the Supreme Beauty Cosmetics Company.
Inside Stephanie's office, Gabrielle made to sit her butts down on one of the couch but Stephanie's words stopped.
"Sorry Girl, but I am running late for my next appointment. I purposely asked you to come because I wanted you to accompany me to the factory. I want to oversee what is going on there but it's Ok if you are busy at the moment," Stephanie said grabbing her handbag from her table.
"I can never be busy when it comes to you besides I haven't resumed work in the company yet so I have a lot of free time," Gabrielle said accompanying her out of her spacious office.
"What did your mum and dad threatened you with this time that made you give in to their demands. I am curious," Stephanie asked as they walked to the elevator.
