"Like I was saying, Dalton, I'll give you a week to work out that problem." Not one more day. You know how I am about that.” Mr. Morgan gave his son a reproachful look. I had no idea Mr. Morgan was this demanding. He didn't know Dalton very well, but from what he had heard he had led the company to the top more than his father. And obviously there will be problems along the way, but deep down I knew that Dalton would be able to solve them. It's just that even his own father doesn't seem to trust him."You've already told me twice, father , " Dalton replied, his attitude absolutely angry. But he held back. Dinner was turning out to be a bit awkward. As we all ate, the three of them gave each other awkward looks. Until Mr. Morgan's stayed with me. I tensed at that moment.“How did you tell me that you're calling? His tone was calmer with me now.America Ferg ," I answered a little nervously. I was dining with three imposing men. I felt prey before them."America... I guess your friends
I settled down a bit in the swivel chair, I didn't understand how this man yesterday wrote to me like a teenager and today he acts like nothing happened. I checked my cell phone to reread the messages, for a moment I thought maybe I was the one who made a mistake.Nope! Obviously I'm not crazy, the messages were intact and with the bad spelling, I went back to his photo, I had to refresh my eyes a little. He was online, just barely, and I was sending him a "Hello" but I shook my head to get rid of those bad thoughts.Come on, America, you have to concentrate on your work. At the same time I remembered Billie, he was not far behind either, he was carved by the gods themselves.I went through the documents on the table and they were all for Dalton, so any minute now he'd call me back."Hello, friend, how are you doing?" Vicky approaches my cubicle."The best," I smiled from ear to ear, "how are you?"“A little sleepless, I was reviewing some reports that Mr. Morgan wanted for today so I
"Surprised at the power of this beauty?" he bragged, passing car after car. “A little”I agreed, but deep down I wasn't amused by anything Billie said. "Did they at least treat you well at Dalton's company?" He turned to see me with this lens that reflected my face. “Since I joined the company they have treated me well, as you know I am on probation and I think they do it to see the good performance of their workers. “ Ha ! No matter how many things Dalton does this year, I will reign in the business again.” He raised his eyebrows. I recently liked Billie but it was getting a bit annoying to hear how he expressed himself about his "friend". "Is your company something that your parents left you or did you found it?" He wanted to know if he would brag this time. “It's a company that my parents founded many years ago, but they discovered that I have the ability for business and I made it grow in a record period, so you're quite a celebrity in that”he put his right hand on my leg, t
I looked at my watch, it was almost noon, the staff will be looking for mealtime rather. I was still hungry, and nervous because I don't know how Dalton would act now that I'm back. I don't know if he will be angry or if he will fire me. I was supposed to be on trial and that's where I should behave best. But I did something wrong today, I just hope I don't suffer the consequences.When I got to the elevator the doors opened and Vicky got out.“America! She approached me , apparently she was ready to have lunch."Vicky, is Mr. Morgan still in his office?"She hesitated a bit.'No, actually he just went downstairs five minutes ago to the company cafeteria for some lunch. Do you want to go with me?I hesitated a bit, maybe I could talk to Dalton and apologize in the cafeteria."Okay, let's go." The two of us walked down a hallway I hadn't come down before. It was long and at the end you could see an open room. It had glass windows allowing to see the outskirts, to a small garden with ve
I quickly went to Vicky's office, I felt anxious, if I felt nervous here, now I don't want to imagine myself in another company and still with that Sabrina witch present. " Vicky, it's good to meet you." I tucked my hair behind my ear. "What brings you here?" He was reviewing documents. "It's Dalton," I bit my lip. "What happened to him ? " Don't tell me he got mad because of what you did with Billie.” He placed his eyes under his glasses. “No, on the contrary, he wants me to accompany him to Sabrina's father's company, he sent me to give me some documents that should be ready”I crossed my arms. "So you're going to go into the lion's den," he scratched his chin, "interesting..." " What's interesting?" I frowned. “That Dalton wants to take you there, he knows that when Sabrina sees a girl near him she gets hysterical, be careful with that crazy woman, America. Don't let him try to humiliate you just because you're on probation. “Don't worry, that won't happen, I know how to de
When we arrived it was raining buckets, the weather had suddenly turned very cold. There was lightning and even some lightning that made me shiver. Dalton and I quickly got out of the car and headed for the hotel living room. As I assumed, it would be one of those five star luxury hotels. Even for one night my boss spent so much."I'll ask if there's a room available," he tells me, taking off his jacket and handing it to me. "So you can dry off a bit." His gaze shifted to my breasts. Great, it was already the second time the brazier looked at me . Just as it was the second time I got wet in the rain."Okay," I took it. Dalton approached the reception, where there was a young and very pretty girl. As soon as she saw Dalton her eyes lit up and her flirtatious mode quickly kicked in. I rolled my eyes to myself as I dried the ends of my hair. It was late at night and I needed dry clothes to put on, I didn't want to get sick.Dalton and the girl exchange words, my boss doesn't seem fazed b
"What are you going to do with your parents?" “When Tommy and I entered the apartment we headed towards my room. My room was a mess, there were things lying here and there. But it was Tommy, I didn't care."I want to pay you a visit," I replied, taking my suitcase out of the closet. It was small, black. I would only go on Saturday and Sunday because Monday I had to come to class and obviously to work.“It's been a long time since you visited your parents, that is, the years we've been neighbors I haven't seen you go out like that. You must be very bad.I looked at him weird."What do you mean bad?" I put the open suitcase on the bed and went to get clothes from my closet. Tommy was just sitting on the edge of my bed talking. I didn't even know why I told him to come with me."It was just a comment." He shrugged.“Where is your house? he wanted to know, now he lay down on the bed putting his arms like pillows. I rolled my eyes to myself but didn't say anything. He also didn't understan
Mom and I were back at the farm. I was unloading some bags from the truck as well as mom.“America, you have a very handsome boss”she looked so animated”watch out for that, there could be an opportunity there.Mom !" I shook my head, "do you think a guy like him would notice a girl like me?" Believe me, I would be his last option “we walked towards the house with the cardboard paper bags in our arms”if only you saw the women who follow him.Leo arrived right away to help us with the other purchases. He came in filthy jeans, a half”buttoned checkered shirt, brown leather boots and a half”fitting beige hat, his hair sticking out on the sides, he seemed to have changed a bit.“Hello, America”he gave me a look from head to toe”from what I see you are very changed, it's been so long since I looked at you.” He took the rest of the purchases."Hello, Leo," I answered without any expression on my face, "yes, apparently one gets lost around here for a while and people then see you differently,
