Knock, knock, knock ....
Cassandra heard a knock on the door, so she roughly wipe her tears that had flowed freely down her face.
"I'll be right away," Cassandra said hastily, turning around pretending to be looking for something in the back drawer.
"Lady Cassandra, the guests have arrived, they are already waiting in the meeting room," Haruka informed Cassandra.
Cassandra frowned when she heard those words, she looked somewhere and breathed calmly. Finally, the day she had been waiting for had come. She had thought about it every night for the past year. Every time she remembers the way her in laws, and Carlos had treated her, her soul screamed, and her hatred for Xavier's family grew. This is the right time for revenge, Cassandra thought.
"Okay, I'm ready." Cassandra stood up, left Xavier's family documents. She don't need it because she already knew all the members of the vile family.
Cassandra let down her hair, she wore makeup that gave off a sensual impression. The clothes she wears are low-chested, her footsteps look so graceful when she steps.
Cassandra came into the room. Everyone in the room was shocked, Mrs. Sara choked, she looked like she had seen a ghost.
Oscar Xavier spit out his drink and coughed as Cassandra slowly walked towards the conference table.
What is this scum doing here! Oscar cursed in his heart. He's about to shout at Cassandra but before he could do it, Haruka spoke first.
"Let me introduce you the owner of C&D company, Miss Cassandra," Haruka said in a professional manner.
"What?"
This woman looks like Fernanda so much, Oscar Xavier thought, he felt tension covers his body.
"Good morning, Miss Cassandra, " Xavier family greeted, Cassandra nodded as if she really didn't know them. She didn't smile much but she doesn't look rude. She was a little surprise that she had four guest instead of three as scheduled.
What is this bitch doing here? Cassandra thought when she saw Patricia sitting next to Carlos. She must have been engaged to Carlos, Cassandra added.
Members of the Xavier family shook hands with Cassandra one by one.
Mr. Oscar was the first who stood up from his seat.
"I am Oscar Xavier, It's my pleasure to meet you, Miss Cassandra. We heard a lot about your greatness and it turned out to be my lucky day to meet you. I have never met someone as charismatic as you." Mr Oscar had emphasized the word "never met". While his hands trembled as he shook hands with Cassandra. Goosebumps all over his neck as if he had just seen his death wish.
Isn't she really Fernanda? isn't she just pretending? But impossible! Fernanda must be dead or if she's alive, she must be peddling herself to mashers, thought Mr. Oscar.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Xavier," Cassandra said with a smile.
She remembered how Mr. Xavier had gotten rid of her. That night when Carlos kicked her out of the house, Mr. Xavier stood up for Cassandra. But that's just a fake kindness. Carlos thought his father liked Fernanda, so he looked disdainfully at Fernanda, and let his father take Fernanda where he liked.
"No! Don't do this, Carlos!" shouted Fernanda, but her screams never touched Carlos' mercy. Carlos no longer wanted Fernanda in the house, he didn't want to see Fernanda anymore.
"So you are ...." Cassandra stretched her hand towards Mrs. Sara. She deliberately did not mention the woman's name.
"I'm Sara, just call me Sara," said Mrs. Sara shyful, they have long waited for this opportunity to have a relationship with C&D that is know through out the country. They will do everything not to offend the chairman of such a company.
"Hello, Sara," said Cassandra with a big smile on her face, but her heart was filled with hatred as her eyes met the vicious woman's.
"Hello, you must be Carlos, right? " still pretending, but there was no way Cassandra could ever forget him. His strong hands had touched Cassandra's body. His warm lips had traced every inch of Cassandra's soft body. Their lips once touched each other passionately. But those memories were soon shattered when Cassandra noticed who was next to Carlos, Patricia.
Carlos immediately stretched his hand for a hand shake. He was marveled at Cassandra's beauty. He didn't imagine that Fernanda, who was his wife then, could look extraordinary when she dressed herself like Cassandra. Carlos' palms felt wet when he shook hands with Cassandra. She's so gorgeous, Carlos thought.
Cassandra was deliberately dressed elegantly and charmingly today. She wanted Carlos to fall in love with her, she want to lift him high and then throw him to the garbage! Cassandra wants Carlos to feel the pain of loving a person who doesn't love you back.
"Yes, I'm Carlos, nice to meet you." Cassandra smiled, then she turned her gaze in another direction. She love the man before, but not now. Especially now that Carlos is with the woman that his family always wanted for him.
"Oh, Miss Cassandra." Carlos raised his hand. "She's Patricia," Carlos added dubiously.
Cassandra looked at Patricia nicely. "Hello, Patricia," Cassandra said.
"Hi." Patricia bowed as respect, her face looks anxious to see Cassandra who is similar to Fernanda. She used to insult Fernanda a lot. What if Cassandra is Fernanda? she thought. Meeting Cassandra was a horrible thing.
"Please have a seat. How are you guys?" Cassandra sat in front of Carlos, she deliberately lowered her body, and Carlos saw a low cut dress that showed Cassandras seductive chest.
Unintentionally, the two pairs of eyes stared at each other for a while.
