Whitney's POV
I woke up the next morning feeling restless than refreshed. There was so much going on in my mind. I freshened up and because I was in a hurry I settled for cargo pants,a white crop top and sneakers and hurried down for breakfast 🥞 🥛. I instructed our housekeeper to make some soup 🍲 for a diabetic patient for me. After eating 🥣I chatted with my parent whilst waiting for Lora to bring the soup 🍲. My parent looked excited and I didn't bother asking why because they wouldn't reply. I had enough patience to wait for them to tell me on their own.
After Lora brought the soup I bade farewell to my parent , sat in my car and drove to the hospital 🏥Mr. Grande was in yesterday. When I arrived and inquired about him from the front desk I was informed he was discharged. Gosh! what a disappointment. I sat back in my car and drove off to the company. I left the soup🍲 in my car and made my way into the building. I pressed the intercom on the CEO's door and entered after he told me to. I read his schedule for him and he asked me to sit so we could discuss ideas for this new project we were working on. After the discussion I was dismissed. Today is the only day so far we had a normal conversation without glares and anger but I think it was because it was about work.
Some minutes later we went for the meeting and it went on smoothly. I noticed a hard glare on me but I turned a blind eye because I knew who it was. It was the CEO of the Vista Grande empire - Karris Grande. But why was he looking at me like that? I just showed the knowledge I had about marketing to the clients, am I not supposed to be awarded or praised? After the meeting I went for my bag👜and sought for permission to go out and eat. Gosh! food🍱 is one thing I can never say no to. I enjoyed my assorted rice🍚with grilled chicken 🍗and a grape juice 🍇 🍹to wash everything down. After eating I hurried back to work I didn't want more troubles than I already had with the CEO. I wanted Mr. Grande's phone number but how am I supposed to ask without looking bad in front of his son. I gathered my courage and went in his office to ask him. Lucky for me he gave it to me without asking any questions. I decided to pay him a visit when I get time.
————————————————————
It's been a year now since I started working with the Vista Grande empire and am still a secretary to the big bad wolf 🐺- Mr. Karris, who never misses an opportunity to mess with me. I have been paying regular visits to Mr. Grande, he is softer than he looks and I see him as a fatherly figure already. There were rumors about a competition of ideas for a new project in the company. I still don't know if it's true or not but if it is I would utilize it to gain back the position I applied for. As I walked into the building,I could still feel the normal stares but I was used to it. We had a meeting with the chairman and he confirmed the rumors and told us the details of the project. My brain 🧠 started doing it's work. I spent the whole day working on the project.
When I reached the house I was welcomed by my parent. For the past six months they have been whispering among each other and I am still curious as to what they talk about that they don't want me to know. I am twenty-two for God's sake am not a child anymore. I channeled my energy into the projects. It helped a lot. We had two days more to present the idea. The next day after doing my usuals I left for work. I decided to call Harrison my best friend and course mate in college. I started discussing my ideas with him when he answered the phone and he gave me corrections at places that needed it. I felt a stare so I turned only to come face to face with Mr. Grande. He gave me a smile and entered the office next to his son's. How long has he stood there? Did he hear my conversation? Mpmh, why am I being paranoid?
