Calvin
"Cherry, my office now " I spoke into the intercom and in less than a minute, she walks in.
"Yes sir"
"Postpone the interview I have with those guys till tomorrow please" I spoke, my eyes glued to my laptop.
"Of course sir " she said, walking away.
"And did I tell you I was done with you? " I ask, my voice a little harsh, as I look up from my work.
"I'm sorry sir" she says, her voice shaky.
"Tell Nathan to prepare one of my jets for my travel next week Wednesday to England "
"Yes Sir " she says, tapping into her tablet.
I look up from my laptop and notice she's still standing looking at me.
"Yes, what is it Cherry? " I ask.
"Sir I was waiting for you to.... "
"Please leave my office young lady" I interrupt her getting really irritated.
I am not able to do the interview for a new PA because Collins mom insisted I joined for lunch. Of course I had to accept, she was like the mom I never had.
"Frederick pick me up by one okay? " I cut the call, and look over my table, bunch and bunch of work to do, my secretary is really trying, doing the work of a secretary and a PA, I really need a person assistant ASAP.
I start working, trying to put all my focus on it but its just so impossible, I can't possibly take my mind of mute girl... Oh shit you still call her that.
I was so surprised, she had the guts, the impetus, the audacity to lay her hand on ME? Like me, me Calvin Bates, most powerful man in the country, she was in shit cake but somehow i didn't seem to mind.
It annoyed me to the bones, the real Calvin Bates will render that's person's life useless and jobless with just a phone call. But the Calvin Bates sitting now is just.... Well sitting and thinking, not even planning to revenge or something like that. Instead he wants to know the kind of girl she is to have all the guts she had to slap him.
I really need a PA. I call Cherry into the intercom and she appears less than a minute.
"Yes sir "
"I want you to do the interview for the two guys who are applying for the PA today and let him start work on Monday, did you hear me?
"Yes sir but... "
"But what Cherry? " I stamp my table with my fist, getting angry already for no reason.
"I wanted to say that there is now more than two applicants"
"Dismiss the other ones and do the interview for the ones you told me about earlier, do you understand Cherry? "
"Yes sir " she says and stumbles away.

Third person
Frederick opens the door of the Bentley for Calvin to come out, he steps out and walks into his best friends mansion.
"Mom, mom! " he calls out. A habit he'd picked to address Madam A as mom, even though his mother was walking the face of the earth. Walking past the sitting room and heading for the dinning room. He clicks the door open and he's stuck to where he is by the sight of what is before him.
He sees mute girl in all her beauty, her hair tied into a real messy ponytail, she's in bum shorts, her beautiful long legs were beginning to mesmerize him, he stood there as if the world had just paused just for the two of them, as she stood there too looking into his slight green eyes.
She felt the chills run down her spine, she wasn't hoping for this, she wanted to do this fast and get out of this revealing clothes but luck wasn't really a friend of hers today. Even as much as she was... No.. Is really mad at him for insulting her, she didn't want him to think that she came to his best friends house to seduce him.
She didn't want him to think she wasn't mad at him, coz she was and still is. She didn't want him to think she is one desperate mute girl. She bit her lower lip and felt a little embarrassed.
He stood there staring at this beauty, she was looking extremely beautiful with her blonde hair which little strands drops on her face. She looked like she wasn't expecting this at all. He watch her bit her lip and raise her left leg slightly now and then.
"Oh my darling Calvin, you're here" Alison comes out from no where and embraces Calvin, giving him pecks.
"Okay mom, do you realize I had so much work to do? " Calvin asks, heading to a chair and sitting.
"Don't be a thorn to the flesh, Collins will be here any..." Madam a was cut through her thought with the clicking shoes of Collins slamming on ghee floorboard as he helped himself with a chair. "Hey mom, hey Cal, hey Ava," he said festively as he slipped his phone out his pocket and began typing away.
"Now, remind me why I'm here again?" Collins asked not minding to avert his eyes from his screen.
"Shut up you Mushroom," Madam A teased and Collins face had a shade of red, he sincerely hated it when she called him mushroom, and hated it more if Calvin laughed to it
With no waste of time, Ava stole the opportunity to run a quick bath changing back to a fresher set of concealing clothes.
"Ava, we are waiting darling" Madam A called out from the dinning room, then continued chatting away with Collins and Calvin.
Ava looses hair from the ponytail and uses her hand to give it a quick brush before heading nervously to the dinning room.
Dishing her delicacy to the dining table, she called on the chatting crew as they all headed to the dinning, digging into the food.
She sits down nervously opposite Calvin and notice that Calvin is not taking his eyes off her.
Nervousness crept under her skin and her eyes ran insecurely around the room, looking for a diversion.
Madam A touches Ava's hand that is on the table "Ava are you okay? " she nods nervously before digging into her pasta and chicken. She finds it really hard to eat if Calvin is staring hard at her, not even looking away for a second.
She chokes on her food and Madam A hands a cup of water, patting her back.
"Are you okay Ava" she nods before standing up, looking at Calvin, whose lips is displaying an evil smirk.
"Do you have to go? " she asks Ava, and she nods before waving goodbye to Madam A, and Collins glaring at Calvin and rushing into the sitting room, grabbing her bags and heading out the door.
Ava
Is it just me or was that place really really hot, I wipe the sweat off my fore head and wave down a cab to my restaurant.
Why was I nervous? Why did he make me feel that way? He's so possessive even to his stare. He always had an evil smirk placed on his lips making shivers run down my spine. I had choked on my food for no just reason, leaving the food I cooked for that arrogant bitch to eat, why I wander away in hunger.
I sigh as my stomach growls, heaven knows I do not have the strength to cook again when I get home, I would just order pizza or something.
Stopping by at the restaurant I do a quick sweep and leave Maria in charge of the kitchen affairs while Peyton watches over the main restaurant. I inform her to close down my 8 and she duly notes.
I reach home and slump immediately on the couch when my phone beeps. I look down at my phone and roll my eyes.
Madam A
Ava, our travel is next week Wednesday by 9am
I roll my eyes again, and close them just thinking about what happened today. Very hectic and awkward.
That Calvin guy is really more powerful than I thought, did I make a huge mistake by slapping him? Or did I do the right thing.. Colton is just rich, not even as rich as Calvin, he won't be able to help me out if truly I'm in trouble.
Oh lord I don't want to be in trouble with the most richest and powerful man in London.
