Office crush

Alana was given a tour of the building as soon as per Ricardo's instructions. He gave her full rights to get access to everything she needed to get to work

She had to meet the company's top jewelers, then a few people. Things were moving so fast for her. It looked like their cube boss's husband of hers was giving her a chance to show her potential,

Or maybe he was doing it, so he could embarrass her. One thing was certain, she wasn't going to allow him to embarrass her

“I'm Felix, this is Cole,” two men introduced themselves as soon as she was guided to enter the vault.

“Nice to meet you,” Alana said with a bow. The two men chuckled and guided her inside, and she proceeded. Felix was this tall man with short black hair. Probably a brush cut, his brown eyes glimmer each time he smiled

Alana had to say Felix wasn't bad looking, although he didn't have that alpha male aura. He'd still stand out in the crowd and get a fair share of cheers from women. He was quite welcoming and more cheerful than Cole.

“So, the boss said we'll be working together,”

“Didn't she just start her work five days ago,” it was Cole who said, Alana, nodded, although she sensed sarcasm from Cole.

“It doesn't matter. If the boss said she's capable, then she's good to join us,” Felix said with a smile and Alana nodded. Her eyes darted around the place. It was quiet and had cameras all over

“So this is where we keep our most precious items,” Felix started with the tour. Alana followed around and was impressed. She spotted some nice-looking necklaces kept away in glass boxes.

This was what she loved, Alana listened carefully as Felix explained everything. The man was knowledgeable about so many decisions. It was intriguing to hear him explain every little detail

“I'm sure the boss trusts you, we have more on the team… but they are away working on something,” Felix said as they walked out of the vault. Alana nodded, she would meet the others later on

“Let's hope you know what you'll be doing…we don't want excuses,” Cole said for the first time since Felix was touring her. Alana nodded and shook hands with both Felix and Cole,

“Okay, I'm ready,” Alana said boldly. Felix smiled and they parted ways. It was time for her to get back to her work. She hoped Ricardo was back, he went to a meeting somewhere. He said he didn't need her

“Hey Bri…done for the day,” Alana stopped when she saw Brigitte talking to some security men. She waved them off and walked up to her

“Yeah, how did it go?” Brigitte asked while they walked to the elevator

“Great, tomorrow we'll start the work…tell me…did you talk to him,” Alana asked, Brigitte, didn't seem to like her question judging by her change of expression

“Don't even try it, well later on I'm going clubbing… it's a shame you can't come with me,” Brigitte said cheerfully. I still didn't understand why she wanted to divorce her husband. That man was a good person

“Are you certain…what if he finds another girl to marry?” Alana asked her just as they stopped in front of the elevator. Brigitte's eyes narrowed into slits as if she was pondering over what Alana said to her.

“I mean, he falls for another woman…will you be able to take it,” Alana added when Brigitte didn't say a word? Of course, she was speechless. Her reason for divorcing her husband wasn't valid

“There are things you don't know Alana…let's just say, a man like him does not deserve me as his wife… I'll see you around,” Brigitte said in a low voice, handed her a file and walked away, heading to the opposite side down the passageway. Alana watched as Brigitte disappeared down the corner when she turned to the elevator.

Maybe she overstepped her boundaries and made Brigitte upset. It wasn't her decision, she shouldn't have meddled in her affairs

getting in the elevator, Alana went straight to Ricardo's office to drop off some files. When she reached there, she found the door slightly open and was hearing some voices

“I heard Cooper's daughter has risen to the top…why don't you use her as the new face,” Alana heard a familiar voice, it was Brigitte's husband talking. Without wasting time, she knocked twice and heard a come-in. Pushing the door open, Alana walked straight to where the men were sitting

“Good day sir,” she greeted Camillo who was smiling from ear to ear

“Don't bother with formalities Mrs. Romero…just call me Cam?” the man said with a smile and rose to his feet. Alana was a little troubled as she peeked at Ricardo waiting to see his reaction, unfortunately, the man was busy scrolling through his phone

“I rather not Mr. Suarez,” she said more shyly Camillo chuckled and grabbed her hand and guided her to the sitting area since that was where she found them. Ricardo glanced up and frowned when he saw Camilo holding Alana's hand

“Sit down, actually Ricky was from telling me about you,” Camillo said and shoved Alana down the couch and sat beside her. Alana tried to wiggle her hand out of the man's hold, unfortunately, he tightened his grip

“This fool is unfair…for you know he didn't even invite his best friend to his wedding…” the man complained with a small pout. Alana wanted to laugh seeing how innocent he looked “but that aside, when can I visit huh…did I tell you how much I love some home cooked meals,” he added with a mischievous grin which would have any woman blushing out of embarrassment

“Don't worry, soon I'll do that,” Alana replied despite having nothing to say to him, he looked like a flirt? Accidentally, Alana glanced up only to meet Ricardo's sour gaze

“That's enough, you can leave now… Ms…my secretary and I have work to discuss,” Ricardo said coldly and glared at Camilo. He didn't invite him to flirt but to work

“Come in Ricky, let me talk to her…do you know she's friends with my wife?” Camilo said more cheerfully, but Ricardo simply rolled his eyes in annoyance and showed him the door

“Out,” he gave his orders rendering Camilo helpless

“Fine you idiot… Mrs Romero, I'll see you next time,” saying that Camilo left the office leaving Alana sitting awkwardly across Ricardo

“Sir… can I go early?” Alana asked nervously, she promised to stay with Santiago and keep him away from that nurse. It was nearly 5 pm, and Alana guessed whatever session the nurse had with Santiago would start. She wanted to be there

“Out,” the man muttered and ignored her completely. Alana frowned and rose to her feet and prepared to leave. How rude of him.
