Chapter 18 - Chapter Seventeen

" You are to meet the representative of Heise company today for the construction of the gaming mall under our branch, you also have a lunch date with Mr Hiromashi the Japanese representative of HCS, then your last schedule is the visit to the construction site near Laxo park. It was discussed in the board meeting, after you proposed the motion of using the Heise company for development of the new site ", Cheryl concluded and closed her notepad. Zaynella doesn't like too much people by her side, to her building up the trust of a subordinate wasn't easy so she had decided to use only Cheryl both as her secretary and personal assistant. She had tested the woman and found her trust worthy and she was efficient in her work and again so she was more than enough to Zaynella. Of course Cheryl was the most grateful, not only does she get the paycheck of a secretary, she also gets the paycheck of a personal assistant. And working directly for the director, she was paid more than other secretaries and P.A's. "Alright, make a call to Mr Hiromashi, let's push the meeting forward it should be the same venue. After that we will visit the site. Make a call to Heise and schedule a meeting in their company",Zaynella said not raising her head from the files she was going through. Haven been told by Zaynella to skip the honorifics when they were alone, she replied her with a short form of her name.

"Alright Zy, anything else".

"Tell the driver to get the car ready, also make a call to the marketing department, I want to have a word with their manager".

Cheryl took note of what she was told and left.

Zaynella wanted to help Lionel so she figured out that the way to go about it was to build a work relationship with Heise, that way she can easily go in and out of the company and meet with Molly..

Cheryl glanced at Zaynella for the fourth time. She was watching her as she worked. They just came out from a visit to the site near Laxo park and were on their way to Heise. She couldn't figure out what was going on in her boss' head. Heise wasn't that big of a company, the company that have always been in charge of building in their branch was bigger than Heise. It would be a boost to Heise if a contract is signed between them and Aries.

When the got to the company, they alighted from the car. Cheryl followed Zaynella as they made their way inside the company. One of the workers was already waiting to lead them. To Heise, the opportunity to have a contact with Aries was once in a life them. When they received a call from Aries they were triggered even if it was a branch company, their own company couldn't compare. They wanted to sign the contract thus they brought out their best at the board meeting,, Molly was assigned with the responsibility of securing the contract she was capable of that after all the matter with Aries wasn't one to trifle with.

They were lead to the second floor that was housing offices of most of the superiors and the conference room.

As soon as she got into the office, Zaynella couldn't help but to take a good look at that woman that resides in Lionel's heart. Molly wasn't a beauty she would pale in comparison to Cheryl not to even talk of Zaynella. But Zaynella wasn't looking at the physical beauty. To her, for someone who grew up spoilt to carry the charm that Molly carried was a great achievement, she figured out that was the reason Lionel was drawn to the lady.

" I didn't know that the director of Aries would personally grace use with her presence its truly an honor ",Molly said when they were seated.

" I wanted to see what Heise looks like, if this contract is to become a success I need to really know how the people i would work with in the next few years handle their affairs don't you think so ", Zaynella asked with a smile.

" You are right, but am really curious how did you learn about this company of our".

" A friend of mine is a big fan of the heiress of this company so I decided to try it out". " Am honored I never knew that a friend of the director of Aries is a big fan, I really need to meet him to thank him for this opportunity".

" I will inform him of your words, get will be glad".

" So the contract?".

" Am afraid that it can't be possible today, you see I just came to take a look, besides the decision was just made, we have to take our time there is no need for a rush, what do you think ", Zaynella asked smiling.

" You are right ", Molly replied.

" Since the decision has been made, let's meet again, I really enjoyed your company let's go out on a lunch date sometime, I will text you when am free ".

" Am honored to be invited on a lunch date by the director of Aries, who am I to decline and really curious how you are able to achieve your great feat at this age, let's meet again I could learn a lot from you ", Molly answered sincerely.

" Alright then I will be looking forward to our get together ", Zaynella said as she stood up.

Molly stood up too making an attempt to see her off.

"I will see my self off you shouldn't bother"

Molly nodded as she watched Zaynella move towards the door. Before Cheryl could reach her hand to open the door, another person opened it from outside. A small girl.

Zaynella squatted to the seize of the little girl that stood rooted looking at her.

" Hi ", she greeted the small girl with a smile.

" Hi ", the girl replied.

" Am Zaynella you can call me Zy or Zayn you are ", Zaynella said her face blooming into a beautiful smile.

" Am Davina", Davina replied smiling back at Zaynella.

" Can I call you Davi ", Zaynella asked holding Davina's cheeks her smile never leaving her face.

Molly who was watching the scene was dump folded. Ever since her husband left, not for once have Davina smiled or allow someone to touch her. The still ongoing discussion brought her out of her reverie.

" I want us to be friends would you like that ".

Davina nodded. Earlier on when she opened the door, she saw a woman with a beautiful smile, not only was the woman young and beautiful she looked kind and smart. She have been attracted to her at first sight so when she asked if they could be friends she nodded. Ever since her dad left no one had made her feel this way not even her mum.

" I was thinking you would reject an really excited, I invited the mum for a date in a few days time the venue, date and time isn't known yet, but am extending the invitation to you too do come okay".

" I will ".

Zaynella smiled and stood up but not with out patting the little girl's face.

" I will see you soon then", she smiled and left with Cheryl.

This scene gave Molly more determination to know Zaynella, unbeknownst to Zaynella she had just made not only one but two new friends. Reconciling the family was going to be more easier.
