Meeting

"dude it happened?" Dominic ask

"yeah she even me I can't believe it," he said to them.

"what made her that bold?" Arthorin was talking while he signed some papers.

They are in a zoom call, Jon was also in the call he is busy at his restaurant we heard in the background the chime of plates and sizzling of foods. "Hey guys, really busy right now, what are we talking about?"

"Jon focus on the food it'll burn" Dominic jokes, he was also busy, he was on a set and his make-up artist is putting some makeup into him.

"Sir do this" they heard in the background, then they saw Dominic make a weird face. Jon slowly pulled out his phone and took a picture but there's a flash so Dominic noticed.

"Hey! Delete that Jon!" he shouted. His friends laugh at him.

"What will the press say about this if I give this to them?" Jon grinned."But I was joking" Jon stopped his teasing when he saw Dominic frown.

"You should avoid her Jameson" Arthorin chimed in. He was still signing paperwork not bothering to watch the screen.

"what happened Jameson?" Jon was clueless because he was busy.

"he was seduced by Reeya '' Dominic explained. "Dominic! You are not still done? Hurry up, the director is angry!" we heard in the background, his manager showed up and hit the back of his head.

"ouch, that hurts Cee! Okay okay, I'm going, see you guys. I gotta go" he weeps at his manager.

"Hi guys!" she greeted them.

"hello Cee '' they replied, they know Cee because she was the only manager who lasted at Dominic; his past managers never stayed at him because of his controversies.

Cee was a beautiful woman, they know Cee has affection for Dominic but the man was numb and they did not tell him about this. They are not in the position to tell the feelings of Cee.

Dominic ended his call.

At Jon's place, the voice became louder and louder.

"Hey, Jon your restaurant is busy today eh?" Jameson asked.

"yeah a newlywed couple contracted us" he replied as he picks up a knife "I gotta go, guys, you two talk I'll help them out"

Then Jon also ended the call. Two of them left Jameson and Arthorin. "Art I need your help," he said seriously.

Arthorin faced the camera, you can observe Arthorin's face, He was handsome from the depth of his eyes to the gentle expressions of his voice. His face was strong and defined, his features molded from granite. He had dark eyebrows, which sloped downwards in a serious expression but currently furrowed in a frown.

"What is Jameson?" he asked seriously.

"The company is in Dilemma," he said while arranging his paperwork.

"what happened?"

Jameson tells him about the problem.

"Ms. Vergara, what is my schedule today?" Mr. Avelino asks Jillian while he checks his phone, texting someone.

"Today you'll have a meeting with Mr. Sanders at 10 a.m in his office at 11 you have a launch meeting with…" Jillian talks while flipping the papers.

"Okay, accompany me for my meeting with Mr. Sanders." He smiled at Jillian, which made Jillian a bit uncomfortable.

"Yes sir, if that's all sir I'm going back" she replied with a smile.

'O Jillian the plan is in motion you will meet him soon' a wicked smile appeared on his face.

A few hours later.

"Are you ready Ms. Vergara?" Mr. Avelino asked her while she was on her desk outside of the office.

"Yes sir, let's go" she beckoned him while walking to the elevator.

At the outside of the building, the sun hung up in the sky, the heat was so devastating The sun seemed to bite into the skin.

Mr. Avelino hung up his hands to block the sun from his face, clenching his eyes because of the heat. He turned around and asked. "Ms. Vergara do you have any ride"

In the same manner, Jillian hung up her hand. "Yes sir. I have a ride" she pointed to her car.

"It's a hustle to have two rides Ms. Vergara you should ride at mine," he said with a smile.

"uh, are you sure sir?" Jillian hesitantly, she glared at Mr. Avelino, who was walking up to his car, opened the door.

"Yeah!" Mr. Avelino answered her and got in the car.

Jillian has no choice but to follow her boss, she opens the back seat and gets in, she smells a fragrance of lavender inside the car and the air in the car is cold.

Mr. Avelino turned his head to see her hand in the wheels, he showed his white teeth.

"Why aren't we moving sir?" she asks, she feels weird because her boss is staring at her.

"am I your driver?" he scowled.

"technically sir, yes you are my driver" she innocently said.

When he heard that his face grimaced then facepalmed and lastly he laughed.

She ate him weirdly thinking her boss was crazy.

"You're amusing Ms. Vergara," he said after he laughs "please sit in the shotgun Ms. Vergara, I'm not your driver"

So she immediately transferred herself to the shotgun seat and looked straight forward.

He turned serious after he said that Jillian in her mind her boss is crazy, he was laughing a second ago now he was serious.

He inserted the key and started the engine. The whole journey was quiet with the occasional sound of horns from other cars until her boss turned on the radio the song was 'Lifetime by Ben&Ben'.

She recognized the song as her favorite since high school, memories drifted in her mind.

While reminiscing, a flash of light appeared. It was Mr. Avelino's phone someone was calling him, he picked up the phone and answered.

"Hello?"

She turned her to the car window and she didn't want to listen to her boss's calls instead she continued listening to the song, watching the scenery outside.

The conversation with Mr. Avelino was still ongoing; she didn't notice before Mr. Avelino picked up his phone he glanced at her.

From the other side of the phone a deep voice talk. "sir the target is in the company"

He replied. "Well keep an eye on him"

He ended the call. 'the time will come' he said in his mind while glancing at Jillian who was watching outside.

After 30 minutes they arrived at Mr. Sanders' company.

She got out first while her boss parked the car, so she walked first in the lobby and waited for her boss.

After a few minutes, Mr. Avelino entered the lobby too and she approached him and walked behind him.

They walk to the receptionist, Mr. Avelino smiled then ask "Hi we have an appointment for Mr. Sanders"

The female receptionist was busy typing something into the computer when she heard the voice she looked up and saw Mr. Avelino smiled at her, her heart melted from what she saw, she met an adonis smiling at her, her eyes were wide open and jaws fell to the floor.

Jillian chuckled at that.
