No…." Screaming at my alarm, I need more time. I didn't sleep enough when I got in, I was too pissed over the Echeverrias' last night that I couldn't rest properly.
"Five minutes more" negotiating with the clock while tripping it over but that didn't stop it from torturing me further.
"Okay! I'm up" I grumbled, dragging my body from the bed into the bathroom to freshen up and prepare for my workout session. Changing into my full workout gear, I strolled over to the gym to complete my routine for the day.
After an intense workout, I prepared a strawberry and Kale smoothie for a burst of energy cause it's going to be a long day ahead. Heading to the bathroom to rinse off all the sweat while reminiscing the peace of my home. I enjoy staying alone, with no private staff whatsoever that's why I got myself an unpenetrated smart home that can self-clean and put everything in order without supervision. I guess that's one of the prompts for being wealthy.
I got ready for work, dressed in my black 2 piece pantsuit with a red Christain Louboutin Batignolles to match, looking pleased in the mirror. I got set to leave, using the elevator to assess the car park. I saw my men ready for me
"Good morning boss!" They all choruses, looking dashing and ready for business
"Good morning boys" I replied while taking my position in the backseat. The drive to the office was a quiet one.
Getting to the company, I headed straight to my office to prepare for the day. Buzzing my secretary "Get Jonathan in here" I said, turning back to the files on my desk. Addressing the new shipment that just arrived at the deck and authorizing their distribution to our various branches, I have to be fast in order not to get my customers waiting. Then suddenly a knock came in, bringing back to reality
"Come in," I said, without looking up to see who is at the door.
"Good morning boss, you called for me," Jonathan said. Signaling him to sit down while slowly turning my attention to him.
" Brief me," I said
"Boss, the guy turned out to be a hard nut to crack but we were able to get some information after bringing his family in," he replied.
"Go on" I responded while listening attentively.
"According to our guest, Madam Joyce is an unstable person who changes her security details every three months" he answered, standing up to show the files he had gathered.
"Isn't that good news?" I asked, checking the files to get more details
" it would have been good if they survive to tell the story, the security details are being deposited after these three months, leaving a heavy compensation for the family, those who agree to the terms usually have nothing to live for anymore while others are unaware" he explained further.
"That's even cruel for some like me, how did he survive at her side all these years? I asked.
" It seems they were in an affair all these years, giving him a stable position in the establishment," he replied.
"Hmmm, that's good, get more information out of him, we need to know how these guards are recruited for us to plant a mole within," I commented
" Yes boss," he replied.
" One more thing, we need to be careful, this woman has higher ground, we don't want her entire organization to come after us, we don't know what we are dealing with yet," I said, turning my attention back to my initial business
" Yes boss" he replied, standing to take his leave.
" On your way out, tell Cassidy to order in, I'm staying for lunch today," I said, watching him leave the office, I must commend him for good work, it's not easy to find loyalty nowadays.
After eating lunch, time got by pretty fast, I didn't know when it's time for my meeting with Diego until my secretary alerted me.
" I guess I have to pay her for the constant over time," I said while getting set for dinner, alerting the men of my arrival.
"I'm ready boys"
speaking through the earbuds while exiting the office, taking the elevator to the car park to reach the meeting on time but deep down, I hope to keep him waiting.
Diego:
My day has been shitty since it began. I can't believe I failed to get that piece of property I have been interested in for a while. How did it slip through my hands, who got it? I wondered.
"Sir, we are here," My driver said, breaking off my thoughts.
"Where? I answered absent-mindedly, looking around to figure out my location.
" The Palace sir," He replied, confused.
"Oh, I get now," I said, remembering my date with Emerald, or should I call it a meeting. Checking my watch to confirm the time for the date, " I guess I'm going for a date then" I smiled, realising my thoughts.
"Right on time, let's hope she doesn't keep me waiting," I said while exiting the car when I see her car drives in.
"She is early, I give her that," I commented while I stroll into the restaurant to wait for her.
Emerald:
Just getting to the restaurant,
" I hope I'm not too early for this meeting, I don't want to start desperate," I wondered, checking across to see if I could identify his customized Audi R8, there is no lie, I did my research on him.
Addressing Jonathan "Make sure you record and confirm whatever he says across the comm. link"
"Yes, boss, the location is secured, you can go in boss," he stated.
"Very good" I replied, exiting the vehicle to enter the restaurant.
