Chapter Hundred and Twenty seven

Olive pulled up at an eatery and moved to open my door I stare at the fancy hotel and hope to find anything that would calm my nerve. "Their food is the best and you can relax all you want here" "I hope so" I smiled and headed inside and Immediately I walked in, I felt a calm relaxation within me.

Olive has been right, this was best place I would calm down, I walked to the car end and took the seat close to the window and ordered a glass of wine before the food. I sip the liquid and allowed myself to be carried away in it sweetness just then my eyes snapped open as if being aware of someone gaze on me, I looked up and found a man with a dark hair and sea green eyes staring at me. Who was he? And why did he caught my attention?  

I watched him sip his drink slowly with his gaze on me, I chuckled to myself and looked away. That would be another version of Sam, I focused on eating my food when the waiter arrived with my order but I couldn't stop Staring something about him was mesmerizing. I took a zero Breath and stare out of the window and watch the evening sky and then the people, I was just looking for things to keep my attention away from the things that was bothering me.

I made my way when I was done and found Olive wait for my by the side of my door and pulled in open immediately he saw me outside, I just hope he keeps being this nice and gentle going Someone I could relay on. "Thanks" "It my pressure" he bowed curtly as I entered back the limousine and waited for him to come over to the driver seat before closing my eyes and drifted away in the silent.

I spend the rest of the evening working on knowing a lot of people information those who I'll have a lot advantage in working with, I click on a picture that look familiar to me. Who was he and why did ... I zoom his picture and my eyes widen as I saw it was the familiar face that had stare at me in the restaurant. I clicked on his information and found out he was in the top richest person in Australia, I smiled and read more information about him and found a lot of information that interest me.

The only thing I'm interested is his wealth and how he'll benefit the company he was the perfect candidate for that, he was more than each person I was previously reading through. I leaned back and smiled at myself, no man now means anything to me expect he was going to be beneficial to me in something like this company.

I was going to meet him then I'm going to play my role well than anyone else, I licked my dry lips and looked at my wrist watch and found it was time to prepare for the dinner party. And everything I was going to do was a game of something that would be beneficial to me, I shut my laptop and stood up to do and prepare, I was the manager and I am going to look my best that also matters a lot.

I slipped and moved to state at myself In the mirror, no matter how good and beautiful I still look in the outside I was still broken inside. I dragged my hand through my short hair, it was just preferable this way and says a lot of things about how I feel in the inside. As broken as hell, I glare at myself for long before walking in the bathroom naked.

I spent long enough in the bathtub massaging my head, trying not to feel the throbbing headache for working and thinking so much at the same time. All I have to do was to look my best and keep the smile on my face to tell them that I can do a lot of things more than they can ever imagine. I dried my body and found that my gown was already violated on my bed, It was a red gown that brought out my curve more in an appropriate way, I have to look my best, responsible and also breathtaking that was what the gown did on my body.

I dressed and just then I heard a knock on my door, was it olive but I wasn't dope but the pulled open and I found one of the house maid standing there and waiting for permission to make a step forward. "I'm here to make your hair" she said, I wanted to tell her to leave it that I would take care of it but one look at my hair told me it needed someone skillful "Okay" I said more to myself than to the woman standing there.

"You look beautiful" she commented on my dress but I didn't respond knowing that half of what she said was, I know myself and I know that I didn't feel beautiful even though I look like it. I watched myself know the mirror as she makes my hair and when she was done it didn't look like my short hair again. I.looked at my wrist watch again, It was time "Thanks" I finally said to get before grabbing my purse and walked downstairs.

I wonder what would Interest me this night and those executive that would be best working with me and then I would hold a lot of power in my hand, power that would never let one look at me like inferior and it will grant me enough privilege that to deal with all those people that hurts me and those who still plan on doing that. I walked out of the house and Olive as Usual Already waiting for me.  "You deserve some award in being on time" I whispered to him before climbing in the car, it was now going to be a daily routine.

The hotel was bumming with all the influential business men and women in the country, a lot of people can't forward to greet and engage in discussion. I study a lot and knew that half of them were just looking for new story line to put and also a lot of newscasters was here and camera man and I think I have now a lot of pictures now on the web.

I greeted and got introduced to a lot of people which I lost track and forgot their name in the next few minutes, I got tangle up with a group body people who discussed the recent news on the business welfare, Listen more and spoke little when my attention was called on till we heard the clicking sound that draws our attention and one who I recognized as my assistant began his little interesting speech making it known that it was my welcoming party.

I returned smiles to those who turned to smile toward as much I was enjoying their little party I just want them to get over with this, I just wan to go home and hide away in somewhere safe. A place that I Wouldn't feel like running off with a scream. Just then I heard my name being called out, I looked up yo find that all eyes on me with a smile on my lips I stood and moved forward before a loud applause followed. "Thank you" I muttered to my assistant and collected the microphone to also thank the crowd of people.

I saw a lot of happy face as I gave my short speech, I turned to give e back the Microphone and my eyed met that familiar eyes. "Don Frances" his name rang in my ears. He was also invited and it was a very good thing for me, I turned away and walked out from the center of the room to grab some drinks. Just a sip and I felt the alluring presence beside me. I turned to meet his stilled gaze. "My name Is Frances". "Becca" I shook his outstretched palm. 

"Nice to meet you". "Yeah, I smiled withdrawing my hand from his. "We've meet? You remembered right?  "No, we haven't, I just saw a stranger" He smiled then shrugged before grabbing a drink from the passing steward. "How well can you manage such a huge company? He asked watching me through the glass of wine on his lips. "I think we'll just have to find out"

"That's good, I'll Like to see how we're you can do it" I smiled and sipped my drink and you're going g to help me with the fame, I smiled and shut my eyes just to let the music and the drunk take full control of me "Can I have this dance" I looked at him through my lashes and placed my hand in his hand instantly felt nothing although he's very mesmerizing.

"You look stunned". "It okay, He gave me a cut nod before needing me to the dance floor. "So tell me about your work in Anaheim all week heard that their would be a new manager that would no manage the company". "So you're now curious to know what's really special about her"  He smiled. "And That's a yes". "I'll like to know and also see for myself I was expecting some one whose... "A bit old and grumpy" I finished for him "Yes, let's say that the perfect word to say" 

"And now, what are you seeing" I said looking into his eyes. "I see...a young, beautiful and... Intelligent... Hmm... He shut his eyes as if gone into a deep thinking. "For now this is what I saw and.. I'll be expecting for more" I chuckled and turned to look into the crowd of people, a lot of photographer was busy taking a pictures on the guest making new gossip for tomorrow and a lot of stare were on me. "I think that theirs a lot of people who hate my position". 

"That's hundred percent true". "And If I may ask why?  "Don't you know? He raised his eyebrows at me and when I didn't speak "Really?  "I don't know why ? I think that's why I'm asking you". "I see" he said but kept the grin on his lips. "You were replaced by someone else and half of the people in here loves him and had sided with him and now he has been replaced by a woman". 

"And what are you saying? That a woman can't do much because other gender?  "That's what people think" he shrugged. "And what did you think? I Glare into his beautiful eyes "I only judge by seeing how hard and perfect come runs his or her work that's why I told you I'm still expecting more". "That's fair" I muttered loud enough for him to hear just then the music stop and he led me back to my seat. "I'll see you soon" he grinned and turned and walk into the crowd.

"What did you think about Him" I asked Olive who was standing at my back. "You like him?  "No, I smiled "I think he can be more valuable to me more than a lover" I Looked up and found Olive looking still confused with my words  "Can you arrange a meeting for both of us tomorrow, I'll like to know him more" I know he has a lot to ask buy didn't bother to ask and I wasn't going to explain anything yet to him, keeping him in suspense was much better now.

"Sure, I'll make out time in your schedule" I nodded, the party ended few moment later and Olive drove me back while I dropped dead tired in the back and kept my mind focus thinking about only the work that I have tomorrow, I think I have to concentrate more in showing all the people that had doubt about me not to judge without knowing...
