Mimi went to her family's house to pick her curriculum vitae before going to the hotel downtown. She walk into the massive five star hotel majestically looking at the beauty of the hotel.
"Good afternoon ma'am" Mimi greeted the receptionist
"Good afternoon ma'am, how may I help you?" The receptionist greeted back with smile
"I'm here for the vacant post of the Manager's secretary" Mimi said
"You are Miss Cruz right?" The receptionist asked
"Yes Ma'am, Mimi Cruz" Mimi replied
"Have a seat ma'am, the manager will be with you shortly" The receptionist said
"Thank you" Mimi said and sit where she was asked to while she watch the receptionist call the manager on the telephone.
Few minutes later, a tall man with a model physique and a handsome face walk up to Mimi in his luxurious suit.
"Mimi Cruz?" The man asked sitting opposite her
"Yes sir" Mimi replied sitting up nervously
"I'm Michael" The man said stretching his hand forward to shake Mimi who appreciates the gesture.
"Avia called earlier to let me know you will be here" Michael said and Mimi was surprised to see someone calling the great Avia by her name.
"Yes for the post of a secretary" Mimi replied not letting him see her emotions
"That girl is so stupid. I am in search of a personal assistant not a secretary" Michael said leaving Mimi surprised again
"I guess she made a mistake. I'm down for that to" Mimi replied hiding her emotions.
"You can start tomorrow then be ready to travel anytime and read more about the work of a personal assistant" Michael said standing up
"Thank you sir" Mimi replied standing up also
"Call me Michael" Michael said with a smile that fits his handsome face and Mimi smile back at him speechlessly
"Tell Avia I will give her a call" Michael said and walk away leaving Mimi surprised and shocked. Who is he to Avia? What relationship do they share? How come she is just meeting him? All this question was on her mind as she journeys back to the mansion.

"Why are you lost?" Avia asked startling Mimi
"What are you thinking about?" Avia asked walking closer to her
"Nothing" Mimi replied comporting herself
"How was your interview?" Avia asked
"It was fine, I got the job. Mr Michael asked you to give him a call" Mimi replied trying her best to smile
"That son of a bitch" Avia cursed bringing out her phone to call him
"Hey Liam Michael" Avia said coldly
"My girl" Michael said making Avia smile
"Bastard! Don't stress my best friend too much" Avia said smiling at Mimi who was looking at how friendly she was on the phone.

"You are welcome. Anything for my girl" Michael replied making Avia blush. Mimi was still looking at her with surprise and curiosity
"Let's have a chat later" Avia said and end the call after hearing a response from Michael.
"Michael Simpson is Honorable Simpson's adopted child which makes him my uncle. He's four years older than I am. He's a nice guy, he got his share of the property when grandfather died and the hotel is part of his inheritance" Avia explained to the curious looking Mimi
"You seem so much close than expected" Mimi said with a smile that shows she's happy Avia explained their relationship
"Really? He has been my go to guy and confidant since I was young. He went to a boarding school in Japan after grandfather's death and couldn't come home after granny's death" Avia replied remembering all the time she and Michael spent together anytime she visit him in boarding school.
"This is the first time I'm hearing about him or knowing you have a family other than your nanny and your aunts" Mimi said still smiling
"Michael is always busy and more busy than I am. He came back when I was hospitalized" Avia replied with a smile
"He should be with you often" Mimi said
"Why? That guy is a pain in my ass please" Avia replied laughing
"You are so happy when talking to him" Mimi said making Avia chuckle
"Let's leave that crap aside. So how was the interview? I know you got the secretary job but how was it?" Avia asked
"Personal assistant. He ask me to learn more about personal assistant job" Mimi replied smiling
"Oh my goodness. I'm so going to kill Michael" Avia said
"Why?" Mimi asked not understanding her reaction
"Nothing Mimi. Congratulations on your new job" Avia replied and walk away from Mimi who was looking at her with confusion.
