"Greetings", Luca and Basil both greet and with single nods. They didn't even stand up for a handshake. Seems like Damon expected that since he went to pull out the chair for me and we both sat down.
" Correct me if I'm wrong, but Miss Rodrigo is not a partner at either one of our companies", Luca says.
" You are correct, she is not officially a partner. But we are working on that and she is also going to be a part of this deal", Damon states.
Herby and his sidekick both nod.
" Is there anything you need clarification on before we begin?", Damon asks.
"No", they answer.
Then the meeting began and fortunately for Damon, I did hold my tongue. I only spoke when spoken to or when necessary. Which was because Basil kept asking if I agree. And I noticed he likes verbal answers. Like okay sir, take me to bed now. Or when there were certain questions Damon could take.
After the meeting it was concluded that the merger would be happenening and Basil said I should get 40% because I deserved it. He wasn't lying. Damon couldn't answer some stuff and I could. He was honestly nervous and not prepared for this but I was there to help.
He didn't mind but I feel like his ego may be a bit bruised.
"Angel", Basil calls as we are about to exit the boardroom.
"Miss Rodrigo", I correct him with a small smile.
Confusion flashes in his eyes but he composes himself.
" Would you be interested in joining us for dinner tonight?", he asks.
"I am interested, you'll inform Damon and I of the time and place", I say and give a single nod. I hand my bag over to Damon and we head to his office.
"Do you and Basil know each other?", Damon asks the moment we're in his office.
" He's my mission", I say.
" Who wants him dead?", he asks.
"No one is dying. I'm just helping May get a contract with him", I say with a small shrug.
"How is it that you knew exactly what to say?", he whispers.
"You seem to forget how smart I am",I say shaking my head.
"Also, what matters is you got the deal", I add.
"You're right. So tonight is dinner with Admos and his sidekick, then tomorrow is with my family, don't forget that",he says sitting down.
" How can I forget something that involves free food and dressing up?", I ask and we laugh.
"Well anything is possible with you",he says.
"So what are you going to do about your assistant situation?", I ask.
" I thought it was obvious that I have to get a new one", he says frowning.
" So you don't have anyone in mind?", I ask.
He shakes his head.
" What about the redhead who came to get us for the meeting?", I ask.
" Elizabeth?", he asks.
" How could I possibly know her name?", I ask. He shrugs.
" Just interview her and see how it goes", I say as I take my bag.
" Are you leaving?",he asks as he walks with me to the door.
" Yes, and you have an interview with Elizabeth",I say as he opens the door for me.
" I'll tell her to come here so expect her to show up anytime from now", I say and leave.
As usual, I'm getting stares from every side but that doesn't affect me. I finally get to the reception and find the redhead.
"Elizabeth", I call as soon as I stand in front of her and her colleague. I nod at the colleague who nods back.
" Miss...", she trails off.
"Rodrigo and may I have a word with you alone?", I ask with a smile and she agrees.
We step aside closer to the elevators.
" Damon is looking for an assistant and I suggested you. He's willing to interview you and is expecting you anytime from now in his office. It's up to you if you're taking the interview or sticking to being the receptionist", I say as I press the top floor button.
Her eyes widen for a second.
" You suggested me?", she asks.
I nod.
"But you don't even know me. What if I mess up?", she asks.
" You might not see it but you'd make one hell of an assistant. So go now before the job gets advertised", I say and gesture for her to enter the elevator.
She says thank you and leaves immediately.
I really am an Angel. And I think I might just be Cupid too cause I can sense some office romance that might go on between Damon and Elizabeth.
As I head down to the basement parking I bump into Drake, Daniel and David.
"If it isn't Angel", Drake says as they all take turns hugging me and kissing my cheeks. Like y'all are kinda kissing each other through my cheek but okay.
" Nice to know you still remember me", I say looking in between them.
"How could we forget a beauty like you?", Daniel asks.
" Don't mind these two, is Damon done with his meeting?", David asks.
I nod and hum in agreement then say, "He is now interviewing his possible future wife to be his assistant".
They all frown looking at me.
" How?", they all ask.
" He doesn't know it yet but he's gonna fall for that girl, I give it a month at least", I say with a shrug.
" Well if it means you'll be available to go out with me, then I support it", Drake says.
" Not happening ", David says.
" Who are you to decide?", Daniel asks.
" I don't have time for this. If you guys are joining the dinner tomorrow, I'll see you there", I say and leave them arguing.
My phone rings as soon as I get in my car.
"Karen", I answer.
" We have a problem ", she says sounding very serious.
" Is it a me or you or us problem and does it require me to come there?",I ask.
I really hope it's not serious and she's just having one of her drama queen moments.
" Valentino is in a coma", she says.
Time to go back again.
