SNATCHING THE BEST FRIEND OF MY EX-BOYFRIEND

Episode 1: Johnson Corporation

Angelina Pov,

"Ms. Adriana, good morning. The schedule for today has been set up per your suggestion. You have a production-related meeting with all of our employees at 10:00 am. Then, at 1:00 pm, you have to meet with Mr. Johnson, the President, to talk about producing new products. Lastly, at 4:00 pm, you have to meet with Mr. Brandon, the SDS company's CEO, to finalize a collaboration agreement. Ms. Adriana, that's all you have planned for today. Do you need to change your schedule or add something new?" Once I had scheduled her schedule, I informed my boss, who was busy typing on his laptop.

She gave me a broad smile as she glanced up. "Is there any free time for me today, or can I cancel one of the meetings on my schedule to enjoy myself for some time with this busy company." She laughed heartily and joked. I chuckle at her remarks. "After this project, Ms. Adriana, you will have much more free time. Until then, you must do this project to the best of your ability, or else Mr. Johnson, the company's president, and your father will remove you from your CEO role." I respond. "Why do you always have the correct answer regarding Dad? Of course, if I fail to complete this assignment satisfactorily, the old guy will dismiss me from this company.

Regarding business, Dad won't think twice about firing me, even though I'm his only beloved daughter." She said that. Shortly after that, we heard laughter from behind us.

"How can you say that about your father, Ms. Adriana Johnson? "OLD MAN." I may be older, but I'm still stronger and wiser than you, my child, physically and mentally." Mr. Johnson asked as he entered Ms. Adriana's cabin. I noticed Ms. Adriana could not construct a word, and I smiled widely. Her father's early arrival at her cabin caught her off guard. "Miss Angelina, good morning. What's up with you? Does my daughter give you so much work?" he inquired, sitting in front of his daughter with a kind smile. "Mr. Johnson, good morning. I'm doing well. Of course, no. Your lovely child is a nice person." I told him. "Dad, why are you here at this early hour? I told you we would meet at 1:00 pm to discuss the new product, right? Do you need to meet with me this early for any pressing matter?" Because we both knew Mr. Johnson wouldn't visit Ms. Adriana's cabin without any necessary things, Ms. Adriana worriedly asked her father. He must want to talk directly with her about the most critical matters.

"Indeed. I need to speak with you directly about something important," he stated. "Alright, Ms. Adriana, I am taking my leave now," I said and turned away, but Mr. Johnson intervened to prevent me from leaving. "Please don't leave, Ms. Angelina. You must join us for this conversation as well. You also have a significant role in this conversation," he continued, and I gave him a look of confusion. Why am I required to remain here? He responded before I even asked, "I am aware of your confusion. However, since you serve as the CEO's secretary, you must also be informed on every aspect of the company." In response, he requested me to sit next to him so he could start the discussion.

"So the important thing that I need to discuss is one of the largest and wealthiest companies in New York City is going to make a deal with our company for their business and, the most important thing is the CEO of the company personally visits our company to finalize the deal." He proudly smiled when he said that. "Which New York City firm are you referring to, Dad? There are a ton of businesses there." Ms. Adriana questioned him. Yes, which company is he referring to? I was taken aback by his excitement when he mentioned that company. I wondered. "The Alpha Stone Company will make a deal with us." To our surprise, he screamed the company's name.

Ms. Adriana's cabin was quiet for a brief moment. Mr. Johnson stares at us as if to get the desired response, but we are taken aback by the details he provides. Ms. Adriana shocked me by screaming, getting up from her seat, and giving her father an excited embrace. "Oh my god! Dad! The most amazing news you have shared today is this one. I'm having the most wonderful day ever today. We are intending to get into a contract with the Alpha Stone Company. Impossible," she said, kissing her dad's cheek." Alpha Stone Company. I was unaware of that company," I asked. They both seemed surprised at me when I asked them that.

"Angelina, how come you know nothing about the company? One of the biggest and greatest companies in New York City is the Alpha Stone Company, as you may know—mostly the Richest Company. Like us, many small businesses are pursuing the Alpah Stone Company to partner or reach a contract. We've finally been given the opportunity," she told me. "Ms. Adriana, I apologize. I was unaware of the firm." When I replied to them, I was embarrassed not to know about this famous company. "Angelina, it's alright. There is nothing about to embarrass." Mr. Jonson said, "Dad, when is the company CEO coming to visit here? Before he arrives, there are a lot of things we need to get ready." stated Ms. Adriana.

"I received a call from the company early in the morning. I was overjoyed when I heard about the deals from the CEO's secretary. Thus, to save time, I came here to share. He will be here on Monday at 10:00 am next week." He responded to us. "There are just three days left to prepare everything for the deals. Everything needs to appear flawless. I discovered from the journals and articles that he was a perfectionist in his job. I've heard he will fire employees without thinking twice if he discovers a single mistake in their job. He is such a serious and hardworking man. Thus, Ms. Angelina, to seal this business, we have performed perfectly." Ms. Adriana said to me with seriousness; I can tell that this is an important matter by the tone of her voice.

"Okay, Ms. Adriana. Be confident that we will try to get deals from this company." I gave her reassurance. "Well, I am aware of one more thing about him. He is the world's sexiest, most attractive man. He'll make any female fall in love. Every female would be fascinated by his blue eyes in a heartbeat. I would seduce him and win his heart if I didn't already have a fiancé. Sadly, I'm already taken." She laughed when she said that. Both her father and I gave her a surprised look. Finally, we both start laughing at her. "I am speaking the truth. He's a gorgeous guy. Why do you all laugh like I'm making a joke? She inquired.

Before we could respond to her, the door sprung open, and Ms. Adriana's fiancé was standing there, glaring at Ms. Adriana. Even though we were all surprised once more, Ms. Adriana was shocked even more. Mr. Johnson and I both began to smirk at her. "Ms. Adriana Johnson, come again. Now, repeat what you just said. I couldn't hear you very well." Mr. Alexander entered the cabin and asked her. The real fun starts now.

"Babe, what are you doing here?" she stuttered. "I'm asking you to repeat what you are saying now." His tone was calm but menacing as he asked her again. Oh no! Someone gets caught unexpectedly. I adore this pair so much. I have never met a sweeter pair than them. "I'm just saying that... that...that." Ms. Adriana began to stammer because she was unable to form a word. "Hold on. I'll tell you again what my daughter just said, Mr. Alexander. She said, 'He is the world's sexiest, most attractive man. He'll make any female fall in love. Every female would be fascinated by his blue eyes in a heartbeat. I would seduce him and win his heart if I didn't already have a fiancé. Sadly, I'm already taken." Mr. Johnson grinned, glancing at his daughter, who seemed stunned by the sight of her father. "Dad!" Ms. Adriana exclaims.

"I'm heading out, sweetie. I need to complete so many matters. Enjoy your day, and have a good time." Mr. Johnson was ready to leave after telling Ms. Adriana that. "Ms. Angelina, are you doing nothing at all? This is not a place to waste time. Come on, let's go. I must provide further details to assist you in creating an excellent presentation for the upcoming project. Today your boss doesn't have enough time to help you." He said that with a cheeky smile. I gave Mr. Johnson a nod and turned to face the pair. Mr. Alexander continued to give Ms. Adriana a stern look while Ms. Adriana was staring at her father with a murderous expression. It was going to be an exhausting day for Ms. Adriana. Mr. Johnson and I then left Ms. Andriana's cabin.
