EPISODE ONE
Reina Salazar's POV
"Excuse meeeeee ! Excuse me !"
Reina is running late for her first interview at the Dela Vega Corporation . She should not miss this very wonderful opportunity. Last week, she applied for an assistant position in Dela Vega Corporation and luckily she got a call yesterday that she would have her interview this morning . She thought she would not get hired because she was just a senior high school graduate. Her parents cannot send her to college and even if she gets a scholarship grant , her parents cannot provide for her needs for school . Her parents were too old to work, so she made up her mind to stop schooling and work instead .
She is not upset with her parents. Instead, she is very thankful that her parents managed to send her to high school . Her father , Danilo Salazar, is a construction worker but stopped working last year because of his old age . Her mother has a small sari-sari store .
" ouch ! "
Reina's daydreaming was interrupted when she hit something as hard as a wall .
"Are you alright Miss?"
I heard a deep sexy voice . He was wearing Lacoste pants and shirts . By just looking at his face, I can tell he is an arrogant and a certified man-w***e with that smirk plastered on his face .
"I am so sorry mister I'm just very late with my appointment . I am very sorry again .Excuse me ."
I picked up my things and ran as fast I could .
The security guard greets me good morning and I greeted him back . I approached the woman in the reception area and luckily she gave me a visitor pass . I proceeded to the HR Office . I rode the elevator to the third floor . I knocked on the door and a sweet voice answered that I could come inside a very clean office and welcome me . A beautiful blond-haired woman was sitting on a swivel chair with a lot of papers on her table.
"Excuse me Ma'am , Good morning ."
"Yes Miss, how can I help you?"
"I am Reina Salazar and I am here for the interview for an assistant position ."
" Oh great! You can call me Ms. Cruz and I am the HR Head . The CEO is on his way here, so let me guide you to his office on the thirtieth floor because he is the one who will conduct your interview."
I went with Miss Cruz to the CEO's floor . She says that this floor is for the CEO and his assistant . The twenty-ninth floor is for the Vice-President and the twenty-eighth floor is the meeting room. Miss Cruz is very kind and slightly talkative .
There are four other women waiting for the interview also. Miss Cruz ordered us to wait as she made a call to the CEO .
The four women wear sexy clothes and make-up . I think they are really excited about this interview . The interior of this company from the inside to every floor of the building screams luxury and class .
"I was very excited when I learned that the CEO himself would be the one who would interview us!" The girl in the front seat exclaimed.
"Me too! Did you see his picture online ? My gosh, he's very yummy . I will do my best to get this position .!" The second girl answered.
" Well, good luck to you girls, but if I were, you don't expect too much because, clearly, as you can see, I am very much qualified for this job ." The third girl says while fixing her make-up .
I turned my gaze to the girl at my side and she was not minding the topic of the other girls . She is too focused on her cellphone texting someone .
It makes me curious who the heck the CEO is . I am very focused on helping my parents so that I do not have any news about showbiz or even billionaires.
I get my small mirror in my bag and check my face . I just applied a powder and lipgloss . I don't like having heavy make-up on my face . I wore a fitted black skirt and a simple white blouse . It's formal clothing suitable for an interview.
I turned my gaze on my side when I heard the clicking sounds of heels .
"So girls , the CEO cannot make it . He has some urgent meetings to attend . But, the Vice-President , Mr. Simon Rivera will be the one to conduct your interview. So, please follow the girls to Mr. Rivera's office."
The three girls groaned because they would not meet the CEO today . We all followed Ms. Cruz to Mr. Rivera's office. She knocked on the office door and a man's voice ordered us to come in.
The first applicant was called and a minute later she made her way out . I think she has not got the position by the look on her face. The second and third girls also had disappointment on their faces. When the fourth girl is called, I feel nervousness and I get myself ready . When she got out she smiled at me and bid me good luck .
My name was called and I entered the office with a smile on my face . I greet Mr. Rivera a pleasant morning and he smiled at me in return .
"Have a seat, Miss Salazar ! " Mr. Rivera ordered.
"So Ms. Salazar , you is twenty year of age and a senior highschool graduate . Please tell me first about yourself that is not written here in your resume ." He questioned.
"Ahmm , well Sir, I come here to work for my family, not for any other fun business ." I answered with my head high and a smile on my face .
He stared at my face and I felt nervous .
He then clap my hand and clapped at me. That made me startle .
"Wow! That is the answer I've been waiting for .. I like you, I mean I like you for the position ... hahahaha .."
"Really Sir ? Thank you Sir ! Thank you so much! I promise you. Sir I will do my best ."
"Well then you may start your work tommorow . Ms. Cruz will tell you about the things you must do and will assist you for your contract . So see you tomorrow and goodluck ...."
I go to Ms. Cruz office and she congratulate me . I signed the contract and I was awe with the salary I will be having montly plus the bonuses and meal and transportation allowances. " Thank you so much Lord for this opportunity .! " I silently prayed on my mind .
"So see you tommorow Ms. Salazar . Usually Mr. Dela Vega goes to work eight o'clock in the morning and sometimes leave his office at six or seven in the evening . Sometimes he do not leave his office because he has his own bedroom and showerroom in his office . He wants his black coffee with no sugar in his table before he starts his work . So, you need to be here before eight in the morning . Your work will be arranging his schedule and answering phone calls . " she said .
I simply nod my head and bid my goodbye to her . I go home with a smile on my face .
When I got home , Mama is sweeping the front of our small store . Our house is just small and simple but as long as we are together as a family we are contented and happy .
" Hi mama ! I have a good news ! I'm hirrrreeddd ...!" I exclaimed as I hug and jump up and down together with my mother .
"Yehey sis ! I know you will nailed it !" my little brother says then hug me .
"What is the good news we are going to celebrate ?" my father asked as he approach us .
"Well papa I got hired ! " I answered beamingly .
"I know you can do it my dear ! " He said happily while hugging me and then kissed my forehead.
We go inside our house and mama cooks something special for our dinner as a simple celebration for my little victory .
We are very thankful because at last I can now help my parents . They can rest and stop working while I help my little brother in finishing his school .
I sleep peacefully not thinking about the bills and financial problems. I cannot sleep properly because of my excitement for tommorow.
Carl Russo dela Vega's POV
I wake up with a headache due to my hangover . I feels someone is moving on my side . I glance at it and I see a naked woman beside me . I go to the bathroom and takes a bath . I drink a tylenol to ease my headache . I glance at my wrist watch and it's already past seven in the morning .
I wear something fomal because I will be meeting a client . I don't wear a tuxedo because it will be a short meeting with a certain friends of mine that want to invest on one of my company. I wear a pants and a shirt and gets my sunglass.
At the age of twenty eight I already have a lot of companies , which are Malls , Hotels , Resorts and Airports . I inherited all this billion assets from my father Antonio dela Vega who is a billionaire. He transferred all this company to me last year as he wants to rest and enjoys life . Maybe he will looks for my mother again . I can't believe what love can do to every human being . My mother leaves us when I was still a five year old kid .
She leaves us to pursue her dreams to live a simple and normal life . I don't know if she had her new family . I grew up with my nanny, Mama Rosa that serves as my mother . My father is always busy in building his empire when I was a child but he never neglects me and always spends time with me . My father is still inlove with my mother . He wants to focus on looking for my mother and wins her back . I'm against it but who I am to be a hindrance on my father's happiness .
Growing up , I don't take serious relationships .There is alot of women out there willing and begging to be one of my flings . Who would resists me ? I have the body , the face and the money , well that is what women wants right ?
so , at the age of twenty eight , I did'nt had any relationship but thousands of flings . I don not do woman twice so when I'm done with you, it's over .
I leave the woman on the hotel . I ride my private elevator to get to my parking space . I get into my Bugatti La Voiture Noire , which I will be riding today. I have a total of twenty cars . This Bugatti is one of my favorite . I have five different types of Bugatti , five different types Porsche , Rolls-Royce Sweptail , Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita (2006), Lamborghini Veneno Roadster ,McLaren P1 LM, Lykan Hypersport, Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta and four types of Ferrari . Most of my cars are gifts from my friends , relatives and ofcourse from my father . This are my babies . I do not want to settle down because with this money and fame I can get anything I want .
I arrive at De Russo's restaurant and I got a call from my friend that he is already inside . Before I get into the restaurant someone hits me .
"Are you alright Miss?" I asked her and extended my hand.
She stands up on her own and gets her things .
"I am so sorry mister I'm just very late with my appointment . I am very sorry again .Excuse me ." She said as she fix her things and then run away .
She is just a simple girl but I was awe that she did not even smiled at me . Well maybe she is really in hurry because I don't think she don't recognize me . Every woman in the world knows me because my face can be seen on internet and magazines.
Her long black hair matches her heart-shaped face and brown eyes .
It's not that I'm smitten though , I just love looking at women bodies and faces . Sha has a sexy body that is maybe why my body seems to be affected by her .
I shrugged my thoughts and go inside the restaurant , our restaurant rather . The manager welcomes me and assists me to the VVIP room .
" Hi Bro ! I'm sorry I'm a little bit late . You know , ahm , something came up ."
"It's okay Bro I also just got here ." He said as he stand up and shakes our hands .
We proceed to our meeting . I approve his proposal .
After our meeting I got a call from Zane , my cousin, that I should visit his newly built race track . I said yes to him while I made my way to the parking lot.
Before I start my car , my phone rings .Ms. Cruz , our company HR manager texted me about the interview of my new assistant .
I need a new assistant again because all my former assistants always flirts with me and always wanted to gets into my pants . Yes I am a man-w***e but I do not mix business with pleasure . So last week I fired my assistant .
I calls my buddy , the Vice President of my company .
"Hello Bro ! " I greeted.
"What's up ? Are you already in your office ? The applicants are waiting for you . You said you wants to be the one to interview them ?" he explained.
"Yes Bro but something came up . I just come from a meeting then Zane and I has something to attend to . Would you mind to be the one to do the interview? I trust your guts in this . hahahaha " I asked him..........
"Do I have any other options ? haha sure sure ...." he joked.
"Ok thank you Bro . Let's hop in a bar next week my treat ." I promised to him .
Every weekdays we do bar hopping and gets our bitches in there . Simon is my bestfriend . His father and my father are best buddies . Bar hopping , getting wasted then getting women are our past time trelieves our stress due to tons of works in the office.
"Ok Bro ! That's what I like about you ... hahhahahaha "
I drop the call and drives to Zane's racing track.
When I arrives at the racing track , the gates opens automatic and then I park my car on the parking lot . I see Zane waiting for me .

This is my favorite hubby . Car racing is my stress reliever .

Wearing our racing outfits we ride our designated car.
Our race ended as Zane as the winner . Ofcourse , I cannot beat the number one racer in the Philippines .
"Just more practice Bro then I think you can beat my ass. haha " Zane exclaimed as he taking her helmet out of his head.
"It's not my dream on beating you my arrogant cousin , hahaha I'm contented being a billionaire .. hahhahaha" I answered while fixing my hair .
"yeah yeah I know .. You have everything . You just need a wife .. hahahaha" he said while laughing..
" Well sorry to burst your bubble my cousin dear but I don't need a wife . Why settle for one if I can gets everyone ?" I answered smirking.
"What an asshole you are ! hahahahaaha I will pray for you that you will met a woman who will make your world upside down .. hahhaahhaha" he said that makes me want to puch his face . I can sense this man talks like an inlove asshole.
"I don't have a cousin who is a priest so stop talking shits Bro ! hahahahaha" I laugh at him .
After our conversation , I go to my office to checks on the interview that Simon conducted.
I park on my own parking space next to Simon's car . I ride my private elevator and go to Simon's office .

"Well congratulations ! I got you an assitant and I know that she will do her works very well ." He answered while smiling like an i***t .
