When Angela returned, she saw that everyone had a slice of pizza in their hands. Clueless of the occasion she when to Lira"s table and delivered her drink before asking."Ma"am Lira is there any occasion that we are celebrating?"
"Nothing much! It"s just that Sir Michael was impressed to the report I presented, so he rewarded me."
Recalling the report that she pa.s.sed to her, Angela flinched when she remembered that was her who should be praised by her boss.
But being just an intern, she cannot say anything.
___
Wednesday.
Zoey was off today as she is accompanying her mom to the hospital. Like as you grow older you have to undergo a lot pf test to ensure that you"re healthy and away from any illnesses.
It was an emergency leave for her because her mom just asked her to come her last night. Imagine, Zoey was already preparing herself to close her eyes when her phone rang.
Due to tiredness, she doesn"t have the time to check who it was. Zoey answered her phone and said "h.e.l.lo" in her sleepy voice.
It has been three weeks after she moved in her condo unit. The weekend she transferred her things her starts the miseries she had to endure to keep her job.
Knowing that her boss was her across neighbor, Zoey has to be a little nicer to Nickel every time they see each other.
For example: the weekend her dad helped her moved her stuff in her condo. On a broad daylight, who on their right mind will wear gym shorts and loose sando.
Zoey came out first on the elevator while pulling her two luggage. As a matter of fact it was just her normal and casual clothes there but still it almost explodes her two luggage.
Her dad, who is following her, carried her other luggage with all her office attires and shoe box.
"Honey, are you sure you didn"t bring all your stuff at home? Are you planning to abandon us again? Why are there so many clothes that you brought?"
"Dad it wasn"t even the half of all the clothes I have. Don"t worry I won"t abandon you. Hahaha!"
But before Zoey stepped her foot out of the elevator, a man in gym shorts and loose sando appeared her sight.
"Hey, Zoey! Oh! Let me help you with that!" Nickel took on her luggage and help Mr. Alcantara with Zoey"s shoe box.
Impressed with the youngster, Mr. Alcantara thanked Nickel with his kindness. "Thank you lad! Anyway, have we meet before? You look familiar."
Of course Nickel remembers Mr. Alcantara, so he said, "I"m Zoey"s COO at ASC and also we meet before during Leo and Shane"s wedding."
Delighted with their meetings Mr. Alcantara invited the lad inside his daughter"s unit.
"Young man, what is your name, again?"
"Sir, it"s Nicanor Fuentes but you can call me Nickel." Nickel rarely used his real first name, because for him "Nicanor" is an old fashion name that his parents" gave him.
"Call me Uncle Nico, can you please help my daughter, I will get her other things in the car."
Zoey gained a new happy after working with Nickel for the past week. She started or should I say loved to check him out, she suddenly earned this urge to see all his details without him noticing it.
After Nickel entered the unit, he placed her shoe box near the entrance door and her luggage near one of the rooms.
"Thank you, Sir." She shyly thanked him after checking his broad shoulders and impressive abs rocks on his stomach. Very nice of you pervert Zoey.
Irritated by her calling him Sir. Nickel flashed his hidden weapon, his seductive smile, and said, "It"s babe for you my dear."
Zoey gave him a sour face when suddenly she remembered something after he mentioned the word "babe".
"Hey! Would you please refrain yourself in calling me "babe"? My dad won"t like to see that you"re the guy who called me babe during the wedding. Uhm he was agitated that time."
Moreover, as Nickel wanted to build a good relation to his future father-in-law. He zipped his mouth and just asked her to call him Nickel instead of babe.
When Mr. Alcantara returned, Nickel helped him arrange everything. From her kitchen utensils and kitchenware to her other stuff. Nickel was almost angel sent from heaven to Mr. Alcantara. Without him, he might returned to the Alcantara Residence with a broken back and dislocated body.
"Nickel I would like to thank you for helping me, and as a sign of my grat.i.tude. I"m inviting you to our home." Mr. Alcantara invited him after they finished arranging everything to her daughter.
"That was too much Mr. Alcantara. It was just I"m free today that"s why lend a hand to my staff." Actually Nickel was itching to say yes, but he still need to turned down his offer because he was shy.
"Uncle Nico. Call Uncle Nico. I will ask Zoey to bring you to home in the future."
Zoey on the other hand lost her voice after her dad starting to invite him at home. She was somehow distancing herself to her boss but why was fate keep on entangling them together. "Dad, Mr. Fuentes is a very busy person. Let"s not disturb him from time to time. Okay dad?"
Threat by Zoey"s remarks, Nickel swallowed his shyness and burst out, "No it"s okay Zoey. I love you share meals with your father."
Satisfied with the outcome of his invitation, Mr. Alcantara left the building after bide goodbye to his baby girl.
"I"ll repeat lock your doors and double check your gas tank every night. Take care my little angel."
